    Best **** album of the year GAGA QUEEN, algo nunca visto en Gaga y que se agradece una retrospectiva a su carrera a todo lo que ha tenido que pasar. Muy infravalorado porque las maricas solo quieren perrear en las discos y pàsan de llorar.

    You've got to say this is an album that expresses Lady Gaga herself, without all the eccentric costumes, she remained down-to-earth and a true artist.

    Las letras que encontramos en las canciones de este álbum son muy buenas, unas de las mejores en su carrera.

    Este álbum hizo que apreciara mucho más los géneros rock y country. Enhorabuena por otro gran álbum, Lady Gaga!    … Expand

    Un disco muy personal, representó en cada letra lo que siente, ella misma lo escribió. Canciones en las que se puede apreciar el gran rango vocal de Gaga y nuevos sonidos originales de ella.

    A beautiful album constructed by miss Gaga. Truly showing of her versatility as an artist. The composition sways through numerous tracks but still has the cohesiveness to make this album. Such a beautiful album with such personal meaning

    Even though Folk/Country is not my style, this album is amazing. It has good lyrics and some brilliant songs like Sinner's Prayer and Angel Down. There are some missed shots like Perfect Illusion.

    This album is Gaga’s VOCAL PRIME. It’s a stripped down album, very delicate but powerful at the same time and it’s the singer’s most intimate record.

    For me, this is my favorite work in Gaga’s discography. The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 is the existence of “Dancing In Circles,” which I just don’t like. Top Tracks: “Diamond Heart,” “Joanne,” “Perfect Illusion,” “Million Reasons,” “Angel Down,” and “Grigio Girls.” “Diamond Heart” speaks to me because while we aren’t perfect and while we each have our dark moments, whatFor me, this is my favorite work in Gaga’s discography. The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 is the existence of “Dancing In Circles,” which I just don’t like. Top Tracks: “Diamond Heart,” “Joanne,” “Perfect Illusion,” “Million Reasons,” “Angel Down,” and “Grigio Girls.” “Diamond Heart” speaks to me because while we aren’t perfect and while we each have our dark moments, what doesn’t change is the strength of our heart. “Joanne” makes me want to cry because we can all relate to someone close to us dying. “Perfect Illusion” is about realizing that what you once thought to be the case really wasn’t. “Million Reasons” is about wanting to go, but also wanting to stay given the right reason in a myriad of situations. “Angel Down” is commentary on gun violence and our generation. “Grigio Girls” is a fun song about friends, but also connects her aunt to one of Gaga’s good friends who has since passed away.

    It is a great country album, this album showed a little bit of gaga's Stefani side, the songs can make you happy or sad. A very good album, but I do not feel like the gaga's style. she's more like a pop_electro star. but anyways, I loved this album and possibly you will too. All the songs are beautiful.

    Em Joanne, Lady Gaga mostra um lado diferente do que já havia explorado em trabalhos anteriores. A artista consegue impressionar com sua nova proposta, embora se perca em alguns momentos.

    This actually makes me sad that her auntie had to die for this. I bet she is being haunted after releasing this. I would if I was auntie Joannie. I mean, why release so much crap named after me? Are you serious? I'm so going after your soul now.

    This is probably her worst album.
    The only song I enjoyed was Joanne (the piano version), after that a terrible lead single and bland, mediocre songs after.
    Country isn’t her thing at all, she should go back to Born This Way kind of pop

    Let's talk about Joanne and as in my opinion the best Gaga album because it gives us versatility of sounds and emotions that make you fly, and of course the song Joanne deserves a special mention since it is a ballad that is not well appreciated

    Lady Gaga vuelve con un album con letras acerca de sis deseos y vida personal,pero para nada se conecta con el público,solo es ella cantandose a sí misma.

    This album contains really heartbroken songs, beautiful ballads. But it needs more dance hits that we love from Gaga. And I am so proud of Gaga, that she has this brave to release album like this. She really likes experiments.

    Lady Gaga switches to country-pop for her fourth studio album 'Joanne'. The main thing that resonates on this album is the songwriting perfection that Gaga provides. Her vocals are also very genuine and sweet to hear even on the stronger produced tracks. The main issue with the album is some production doesn't click and there are a few pacing issues on some songs.

    En Joanne, Lady Gaga nos da un vistazo a su parte más personal, con letras más maduras que en sus grabaciones anteriores y sonidos que permiten escuchar su voz de forma más natural en lugar de sobreexplotar los beats electro-dance como en sus primeros trabajos.

    Joanne es un Álbum natural y personal en un mar de discos EDM.

    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.
