    Un álbum totalmente diferente de los de mas, lo cual no lo hace menos que un The Fame Monster o un Born This Way. Un 10 para este álbum totalmente fresco, fuera de los parámetros del pop donde todo tiene que sonar igual y monótono. Felicidades a la señorita Lady Gaga por este Increíble trabajo!!

Artpop foi o album mais genérico e sem vida que se pôde ouvir em 2013, nem ela parecia feliz em divulgar tamanha mentira. Por mais que sua equipe tente passar uma imagem de artista grandiosa, nós sabemos que ela não é, e concordo quando ela diz que não quer comparada à Madonna, ela não quer, nem eu acho que isso seja possível, afinal de contas, Madonna está há 3 décadas se reinventando e modificando a música, enquanto Lady Gaga no seu 4º album de estúdio mostrou ser totalmente amadora quando não tem a "Hous Of Gaga" por trás de seu trabalho. Joanne é um album com músicas rasas, invisíveis, um album puerial que não há nada que te faça querer ouvir novamente. Lady Gaga é um personagem que nos era interessante quando havia uma equipe por trás para torná-la interessante, e hoje essa equipe se foi, assim como o interesse no público nela e no seu trabalho amador.

    Um álbum puro e sem receitas prontas para fazer hits. Mas com um foco: mostrar a qualidade vocal e criativa da Gaga. Talvez a grande massa não saiba apreciar esse álbum, mas ele é uma das melhores coisas que foi lançada nessa década.

    Bem-vinda, Joanne! Lady Gaga como sempre não decepciona e traz um álbum mais maduro que o anterior e com mais versalidade que o primeiro. Muitos podem discordar, mas de um modo sutil, esse pode ser considerado um dos melhores trabalhos da Gaga.

    Joanne não é inovação nem aqui e nem no inferno, está mais para regressão, Lady Gaga regrediu com essa mistura de pop/country/rock/dancehall, ficou uma verdadeira porcaria, além de mostrar sua verdadeira voz que não é absolutamente nada. Lady Gaga envergonhou a indústria musical com esse seu novo álbum que não é nem um pouco radiofônico.

    The is the worst pop album to come out in the past 25 years. It's bland, it's over-produced, why is Gaga screaming throughout the entire album? Two flop albums in a row = death to a pop star. Best of luck Gaga on your next adventure.

    Es el álbum mas personal de Lady Gaga, en este demuestra que asi como puede ser creadora de himnos pop masivos, puede también escribir hermosas baladas, aunque en general es bueno , creo que también puede ser cansado escucharlo en ocasiones y en mi opinión, no llega a ser mejor que Born This Way. Podria haber sido mejor.

    A refreshing, authentic new LP from the pop icon. Truly full of amazing songs with depth and meaning. The album contains all genres that fits in so perfectly. From Diamond Heart, to John Wayne the album contains bops as well as going deep with angel down. One of, if not the best album of 2016.

    Se desprendendo do Pop clichê e provando novos ares, Joanne, quinto álbum de estúdio de Lady Gaga, expõem o quão maravilhoso é quando artistas conseguem se reinventar e continuar fazendo um bom trabalho. Com sutilezas adquiridas do country, rock, soul embasadas em um pop com melodias suaves e poderosas, Mrs Joanne, transborda em qualidades.

    Powerful vocals, deep meaning lyrics and catchy melodies. This album shows a new side of Lady Gaga, more personal and sincere. It's proof that she can do whatever. The production made by Jeff Bhasker, BloodPop, Emile Haynie, Josh Homme, Kevin Parker and RedOne was amazing. My favorite songs are Dancin' in Circles, Diamond Heart and Joanne.

    Lady Gaga may not be more Gaga as she used to, however, Joanne shows us a more intimate and honest side of the pop artist that redefined pop during the end of the 00's decade. Joanne is honest but confusing at the same time. It takes more than a listen to understand it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Take the RISK. Take the risk to be vulnerable, to be different, to be emotional, to be raw, to be un-doctored, to share your thoughts on the modern chaotic world around you- the result is Joanne. Amazing album from start to finish. Gaga's voice HUGGED my heavy heart when I listened to this album. If it's healing and reflection you want, this is the album for you. There's no twerking, no heavy electronic music with meaningless lyrics. Her voice is strong yet affected, stern yet compassionate. The guitar riffs in AYO, Sinner's Prayer, Diamond Heart Dancing in Circles, John Wayne are so great. Her vulnerability shines through in songs like Million Reasons and title track Joanne. Her collaboration with Florence Welch is uplifting and both of them SOAR together, like a proper duet- the Motown vibes are everything. My favorite song is Angel Down, I have been thinking so much about the state of the world and lament the chaos and suffering that is happening everywhere, Gaga captures it perfectly with this song, having written it a few years ago with they Treyvon Martin case. Give this album a listen, it's not what you'd expect, it's so much more. Gaga can return to dance music whenever she wants, but she's a grown woman and she sees herself as having a responsibility to speak up about our injustices and challenges us as human beings. Much love, Stefani JOANNE Germonatta aka "Lady Gaga" in a superb album. One of the best of 2016 HANDS DOWN. Peace and blessings.… Expand

    Lady Gaga showed us her most intimate side of herself, maybe in the attempt to regain our trust after the unfortunate Artpop.

I like the album, but I expected way more from a three-year-pause since her last solo album, considering she was surrounded by great artists such as Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker and so on. Overall, great work.… Expand

    Very boring and easy album. Absolutely unremarkable. This is the poorest album of Gaga. I'm very sad. If she think that JOANNE is a evolution, she's wrong.

    JOANNE is an album that marks a before and an after,in the career of Gaga. It contains beautiful lyrics, about lost, love. This album is different to The Fame, Born This Way, it has different genres, here we can see a different Gaga, a girl with no excentric dresses. In this album we can travel to the old Gaga. If you want to listen good songs, i recommend you listen to JOANNE.

    This is an album where Lady Gaga leaves the comfort of your music and risks reinvent itself and achieve a new challenge, Good News, it was worth it, this certainly is the best album so far this year. 100 points for this.

    The album is good in the beginning, where we have some interesting songs and nice ballads like John Wayne... but it gets tiring and weary when you still have half album to listen to, its lazy and poor production makes everything worse. In the end you understand the album expresses what Gaga’s career is: dead and boring.

    de inicio eu achei que o simples e Lady Gaga não combinariam, mas com a chegada do Joanne mudei completamente essa concepção, o album está incrível essa mistura de rock, anos 90, folk e country fez a novata Joanne possuir um dos melhores albuns desse ano. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such a great album. This is so different from everything else on the radio, and in this term Gaga has always led the music onto a different direction with each and every of her albums - The Fame led to dance music on the radio, The Fame Monster and ARTPOP led to Europop music, ARTPOP led to EDM and so on. This one isn't different from her other classics, and will definitely lead the radio & music industry onto other directions - better then ever. Each and every track in this album is special and unique, showing Gaga's strong vocals and deep lyrics.… Expand

    For a pop star so quirky and strange, this album feels far from the Gaga we know. With her new country style and full-frontal vocals, this Gaga feels much more real & far less plastic, than the Gaga that came before [ARTPOP].

    All in all it's a fabulous album with tearjerkers, dance anthems and country ballads. This isn't just an album for Little Monster's, it's Gaga for the world.

    A really beautiful album full of songs with depth and meaning. Gaga is more mature now and it shows through the excellent writing on Joanne. Produced by Mark Ronson, Bloodpop and a handful of others, the album is extremely well made and cements Lady Gaga as a force to be reckoned with.

    Joanne is the most personal and the most impressive Gaga's album, she's envolving to something much more iconic with that album. I'd say that each songs are so good that you want to have more. My favorite are Hey Girl Grigio Girl Angel Down Diamond Heart and AYO but I really love them all. AYO GIRL!

    Gaga is stretching her wings and no doubt will fly. Her new album is most definitely a departure from previous works but not all the songs are so far off from her dance-pop electro themes of yore.

    "PROGRESSION shows true artistry." Gaga just catapulted her icon status with this album. Her songwriting is impeccable and matched with fresh, ahead-of-the-curve production. This album shows that she's matured musically but still gives us all the hooks and choruses we love from Gaga. Joanne truly is a masterpiece and her best work to date. YES, she did that!

Honestly, at the beginning I was very disappointed when I heard for the very first time Perfect Illusion and when I saw Joanne's album cover. But, when I heard Million Reasons, I knew that everything would be alright. That's insane. The whole world never waited an album from Lady Gaga with instruments like guitar, piano and a trumpet, sounding in a same song.

    For those people who are worried because of Lady Gaga's new image, I say to them: DON'T WORRY. This is just a phase. A phase where she wants to win respect and show that she can be an artist with no a circus in front of her. I ask you all to enjoy this moment, because I'm pretty sure that the controversial Gaga will be back after Joanne.

    Musicalmente falando, isto é, em termos de diversidade de gêneros, o disco tem bastante a oferecer. É nítida a influência do country e do folk em várias canções. No entanto, do ponto de vista poético (letras das músicas), o disco deixa a desejar. Joanne carece de um fio condutor que dê mais coesão ao disco. Ainda assim está muito acima de seu antecessor ArtPop.

    She has changed her direction to give people real music when everyone is following the EDM train nowadays just to be successful on the charts. Such a great artist and album. It will bring people to the classic music aka real music. And without a doubt it's her best work to date and the best album of 2016 so far, brilliant lyrics, professional production & incredible vocals.

    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.
