Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary is going viral
Some TikTok craze. (Gen Z doing Gen Z things.)
What do we think of it? Do we hate it just because it's Gaga? Or is it actually a cool dark, goth pop song?
It's a deep cut from her Born This Way album.
I like it WAY more than the title track, that's for sure.

I like the beginning and end of the song, I could do without the parts with lyrical vocals, though.

She's been over for years. No one is buying her schtick.

Bloody Mary is one of my favorites from BTW (along with Scheisse, Marry the Night, and Government Hooker). Probably my favorite overall if I think about it. The Cramps have to be pissed that their song didn’t get a Running Up That Hill moment because a teenager on TikTok made an edit.

She's brilliant and an icon. This sounds totally different from anything she's done before. Always challenging us with evocative lyrics, and religious imagery. She stands alone as the true QUEEN OF POP.

I hated most of the singles she released from that album. The Album only songs like this one are better but I don't like her weird lyrics. It often sounds like she was high on something. Bad.

Does nobody love this song? Her best in years.

I love it, too, R7 and R8. I guess I get why it wasn't a single. Controversial, I suppose. But as I said in the OP, it's such a better song that that treacly Born This Way.
This is the type of song I would expect from the weird, off center Gaga that was advertised way back when.
And I'm here for it.

Another vote for “love it.”

I heard she puts extra worcestershire sauce in her recipe.

R14, I was one of those people. I thought she was totally over baked by the time Born This Way came out. I just didn't care much about her by that point.
Oddly, I did become a Gaga fan much later. On a lark, I went to her Joanne concert with a friend (who had an extra ticket) and her live performance blew me away. So I started liking her when everyone hated her or had forgotten about her.
It's only recently that I really listened to her Born This Way album. It is truly a fantastic pop album. MUCH better than The Fame Monster. It's daring and bold and risky.

R16 She ruined her career when she became more of her true self after 2011. She still has a career but she might as well call herself Lady Stefanotta because being boring is now her image. No wonder she is into acting now. The roles she receives give her personality. She is probably ashamed that people rather listen to that decade old song rather then her deep smoker voice new songs. Her 2020 album was basically carried by Ariana Grande.

R4, pardon me, but please explain about The Cramps missing out. Lux Interior is dead, so he wouldn't care, but I do.

How much did she pay for this? Guess she decided it was easier to do this than come up with another fake ailment for attention.

R12, yesterday Bloody Mary was the 25th most listened to song on Spotify in the world.
A deep cut from an album 11 years old.
I'd say that's going viral!

She is the only artist in women's music. True, concise and brilliantly cunning. I wish she'd step away from the acting to reclaim her no. 1 status in music. I guess her 'people' tell her otherwise.

I have seen the song used with a ton of these Wednesday's dance shorts popping up.

Nobody is interested in her anymore OP. Her career seems to have run its course.

“Nobody is interested in her” is what you posted on a thread commenting on her viral success.
You really, really hate this person. You should seek help.

Not that much to it, really. No novel melody, hooks or licks. Another droning on wanna be anthem.

Why R17? Because some intern posed the words “gone viral”? Hardly makes it a fact.

The reality that it’s gone viral is what makes it a fact, funnily enough.

It's nuts that an 11 year-old song is #1 on Shazam worldwide, being played on the radio in France, and #25 on the global Spotify chart. Especially since the song went viral when it wasn't actually featured on the show.

R12, read R35.
It's cool if you don't understand what going viral means for a song. But R35 explained it quite well.
So there you have it!
(Don't worry. You can still hate Gaga. In fact, let this blow your mind: Two things can exist at once. A song of hers is going viral AND you think she's terrible. All is okay, buddy.)

It's the only song that I actually like by this hatchet-faced, overly nasal singer.

According to this video, her "the fame-success" was mostly due to the alleged murder or her ex best friend Lina Morgana whose persona was stolen by Gaga in order to become the unique lady we know now. Sad story if true and with the recent balenciaga leaks not too far off actually. Many celebs seem to be into rituals like that. Like that rumor how beyonciey is responsible for aaliyah so something similar. Or how Ye allegedly sacrificed Donda. The video becomes disturbing at the end. We should wait for evidence though.

More dubious info about Lady Gaga #balenciagagate and when you think about the fact that she had to do with Marina Abramovic..... uh oh!

I like it but it would not have been a hit pre streaming.

R45 Gaga could have released it as a single. Maybe she didn’t have enough clout but I doubt it. She was quite big by that point.

Lady Gaga is very talented. Another old hit of hers has gone viral last week too. I can't believe it!

Really R50? I'd put the two of them in just about the exact same category: Pop star A list. No longer near their peak. But everything they do still makes big waves. Their last pop records, respectively, both went to number one and spawned a number one single and a top ten single.

I would not put Gaga on the list of A-list singers. Sure, her last album went to number one but that doesn't tell you much about the success of the album. It is only the 33rd most streamed album of 2020. Not exactly a huge success. A Star is Born was a fluke for her after years of middling success. I do think she has more of a future as an actress though (especially if she sings on soundtracks).

Her last album went #1, had 2 Top 10 singles (one of them went #1), won a Grammy, and produced tour that grossed $112 million with only 20 dates. Please come back to reality.

Hitting number one isn't really that great of a metric. There are countless songs and albums that have hit number one that are long forgotten after they are released. Chromatica is one of those. It hit number one yet it isn't even one of the most streamed albums of 2020 (it doesn't even make the top 30). I wouldn't call that a huge success.
