    For the music to which Lady gaga had accustomed us this is a big change, and for good. It is a timeless album, which flow various musical rhythms. The warmth of the voice and resonance of live sounds give soul.

    Uno de sus mejores álbumes, en él, ella cuenta toda su historia, historias de amor, y familiares. Es por eso que le doy el puntaje máximo, además del nivel de su música.

    One of the best albums frome her and this year. Her evolution is awesome always reinventing herself, and not like other pop artists. Gaga's vocals are amazing, it's more real, it's for all people, all the songs represents every part of my life. Good job Gaga.

    Joanne is Lady Gaga's most mature album to date. It's so cleverly written. Again, she is not following the mainstream pop trend, instead she is making her own trend and owning it like a champ!

    Joanne is synonymous with authenticity, the authenticity of each letter is reflected in the very melancholy sounds that transports you to a very emotional and personal aura.
    A very good candidate for "Album of the Year".

    "Joanne" is perhaps the best album of Lady Gaga since Born This Way in 2011. Takes us on a journey from the classic American adrenaline in "Diamond heart" to the nostalgia of the physical loss of a loved one in "Joanne", or a manifesto and social criticism with songs like the beautiful and darkness "Angel down".

    Joanne is clearly Gaga's most personal album, popping aside the synthetic personas for something more honest and, well, human. Mother Monster may be retired for now, but Lady Gaga's sheer musical brilliance still shines through,with its "flaws and all"—was a correct musical step for Gaga, which he believed would make "fans and observers once again rethink what they know about the daring diva

    Joanne is easily the most beautiful, raw, meaningful and well put together album of Gaga's career thus far.

Joanne starts with Diamond Heart exploring her past as a college drop out, GoGo dancer in NY and her path along the heart break and sexual assault of men during her years from 18-20 before her major break from Just Dance and such. Then we get this total BOP of a song AYO were she and her friends are smoking the haters and doing themselves. But we also get some heartbreak songs Joanne, Million Reasons, Angel Down where her emotions are on her sleeve and she is putting her family, friends and personal life into a golden album. Plus she worked with amazing artists - Brian Newman, Florence Welch, Mark Ronson, Father John Misty, Hillary Lindsey - on an album she truly spoke from the heart and in such a pure vocal way. While people continue to believe she can't sing or that she isn't true to herself, they are so beyond wrong as she may be the most influential artist of our generation and has incredible vocals to slay away with. This album is a combination of soul, pop, rock, country, and dance music you will spin to!… Expand

    excellent album
    Undoubtedly one of the best I've heard.
    Gaga, as always exceeding expectations and we are pleased with a twist in its style and personality.
    By far the best.

    I would go as far as to say that this might be Lady Gaga's best album to date and BY FAR the best album released so far in 2016. If you want cheap generic bubblegum pop that'll lose it's flavor in 2 weeks then go and buy Britney's latest album "Glory" because you're not gonna get that with this LP. This album is stripped back, raw and showcases Gaga's power house Vocals.

    Es uno de los mejores trabajos que ha realizado desde The Fame Monster, un álbum muy personal, con sonidos frescos y nuevos. Lady Gaga ha sabido darle un toque Gaga con Dancin In Circles y un toque más Lady en Joanne o Ángel Down. No se hacía donde nos podrá llevar esta nueva era pero si bien creo que bastante lejos.

    Joanne is completely different from the others Lady Gaga's albums, however it doesn't make less special, this album brings new rhythms, and more personal lyrics that make that album great to the little monsters who had waited over of three years since artpop

    On her return to pop music, Lady Gaga has delivered the most EXCELLENT album of all time because it is a new side of the Lady Gaga that we all know, a raw and heartbreaking side that we've never heard before.

Enjoy this album with an open mind, because if you're looking for another "Born This Way" or "The Fame Monster," you're lost, we're not gonna get those again and THANK GOD. Artists nowadays CAN'T go beyond their talent and this girl Lady Gaga, BREAKS the boundaries to explore and go beyond her talent. This is what makes Joanne special and this is what will make it better AND different than any other generic and repetitive pop music. Enjoy this album from the one and only talented legend, Lady Gaga.… Expand

    Durante três anos estivemos esperando por algo novo de Lady Gaga, a anciedade as vezes era tanta que especulações negativas começaram a aparecer, mas quando Perfect Illusion foi lançada, o mundo ficou chocado com ela. e sim, ela é a maior artista pop que você conhece! porque não basta rebolar e dançar sensual, uma artista tem que saber cantar, e isso ela faz muito bem. e em Joanne elaDurante três anos estivemos esperando por algo novo de Lady Gaga, a anciedade as vezes era tanta que especulações negativas começaram a aparecer, mas quando Perfect Illusion foi lançada, o mundo ficou chocado com ela. e sim, ela é a maior artista pop que você conhece! porque não basta rebolar e dançar sensual, uma artista tem que saber cantar, e isso ela faz muito bem. e em Joanne ela passou muito, mas muito sentimento, e isso fez com que os haters a atacassem, por favor né, se querem farofa, ta cheio de cantoras ai ..… Expand

    Her best album by date! So honest, so real! Her voice is on point and it has no auto-tune, which is amazing nowadays! The lyrics are very personal and beautiful. She proved once again that she's brave, releasing such a raw and authentic album.

    Um album profundo e sincero com letras fortes (diria até que as melhores composições que Gaga já trabalhou) com sonoridade totalmente diferente do que se encontra no mercado atualmente.

    Su segundo mejor álbum con respecto a producción, despúes de The Fame Monster. Su mejora en la capacidad vocal se ve reflejado en este álbum. Álbum con Influencias pop, rock y country, Gaga demostrando una vez más su versatilidad. Gracias Gaga!

    Flawed though it is, this brave and canny album hits the reset button and buys her a future. [Jan 2017, p.105]

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
