It's so good. She sounds like never before. I kinda feel like she reflects her Stefani/Gaga Dichotomy with the one Harleen Quinzel has with Harkey Quinn, that may explain why it has this Joanne feeling to it. All over great for cleaning the house on a Saturday
Really good. Her rendition of the classic songs is spot on, and the adpatations work for the concept of the album. The original songs are some of her best compositions ever. Vocally... wow, it makes sense that this was recorded around the time she recordes with the Stones, because these are some of her BEST VOCALS EVER.
@@the_fressnoWait, that Stefani/Gaga split really probably does inform the acting of the film and honestly is something I’ll keep in mind watching the movie!
Lady Gaga's artistic evolution is one for the books, loved a good amount of tracks on this album, and I am looking forward to her 7th album, fingers crossed for a full on artpop/born this way cross-over
Smile was such a gorgeous cover, I don’t know how she went on about when doing the cover but I can imagine that she was thinking about Tony Bennett. It felt like a full circle moment of being a fan, to a having a duet with him, to this song just as a love letter to him
The other day I was thinking about how will Gaga's Jazz career or album would go after the passing of Tony Bennett. sure she performs Jazz show at her vegas residency but I'm so glad getting this album as it answers my big question and she delivers it very well.
They ignored my original publish time and posted this at midnight and I put it back to private but it seems UA-cam wants to say it was midnight which throws off my internal tracking and the video… I’m mad but also do not care
I personally don’t think the track list is uneven, it feels like an old school Jazz album put into the mind of Harley Quinn, giving it a more Pop sensibility, the only song I end up skipping is “The Joker” too
@@EljohnMacaranasI like the Original, I just think that it’s a little too on the nose for this project and it’s the only one that makes the album too movie soundtrackesque, everything else feels like a Jazz album I would spin on any given day
I cannot stress enough how much I love this album and how genius I think it really is. The storytelling is impecable and IMO it contains some of her best vocal moments to date. Also, Happy Mistake’s gotta be one of her best ballads, so vulnerable.
I love “good morning” and “happy mistake” two of my favorite songs from this album I think she ate down with this album,finally I can get my Christian family to listen to lady Gaga, the album is definitely 6.5/10 or 7/10 I can’t choose also i love the rock in “the joker” the girls are releaseing rock this year omg i love it .
This album is really cute! The two original songs stick out a lot for me, and my favorite is definitely Happy Mistake (feels like a real Gaga ballad). It's nothing I'd have on repeat, but I did enjoy it as a one time listen. I am going to see Joker 2 in theaters with my friend, and this album has me excited for what is in store
1:55 As a queer they, i really love Harlequin album. But it's probably because my mom was a hippie and mostly played jazz/soul/blue-grass while I was growing up
I'm not really a huge jazz fan but I really enjoyed this album. I was really reminded of Amy Winehouse for some reason idk maybe because she's the only jazz/jazz adjacent artist I listen to (speaking of Amy I hope you will eventually cover Back To Black because that's one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time) but I also kinda cried a little the first time I heard it because it really reminded me of her work with Tony Bennett and I know how close they were so it made me a little emotional. I think I would give it the same score you did or maybe a little higher because I really enjoyed it
i am going to see joker i love this album. i will play it on Saturday when I'll be cleaning my room. My fav tracks are: Oh, When the Saints, that's Entertainment, The Joker, close to You
Chromatica Ball might be her best show she’s ever done (so far) due to how professional she was on stage and she showcased a pop star whom is able to sing live so well and hit all the marks and choreography so cleanly and with force! I was in awe!! I mean Michael (her fiancé) saw the fire within her during that show and LG7 might just have that fire as well!!
@@EljohnMacaranas I think overall you get the performance factor from her and the fact that she did 1 take and decided to just use one night of footage showed how amazing she can kill a show without having to get other takes from different nights👌🏽 I was in the pit that night in LA and as a dancer myself whom auditioned for the show, I was very impressed with her performance & dance quality 🩷
It was so hard for me to enjoy this album as it came out on my birthday 9/26 which also happened to be the day Lana Del Rey slapped me across the face and got married which completely blindsided me and overshadowed Gaga’s album for me. I am now getting into the album again and really enjoying it!
@@EljohnMacaranas I know!!! I remember that happened on the very first episode.❤️ btw…. I’m a huge little monster also and I agree.👍🏾 i’m not a huge jazz fan but last year I went to Las Vegas for the jazz and piano concert and it was amazing. I think it deserves a 7.6/7.8 out of 10. 👍🏾
as both a gaga and harley/dc fan i’m so torn bc i genuinely feel she’s not going to do a good job, not bc she’s a bad actress but bc harley’s character in this new movie does not seem like it will give her justice,,, her character is butchered most of the time and is usually just watered down to a manic pixie dream girl on meth
@@miud2201 as a Harley fan I had that concern too but hearing it’s gonna be a musical mostly calmed my nerves but yeah I don’t think this gonna be up for best Harley in any list
I don’t know maybe I’m just not a jazz girly so I don’t appreciate the album as much as the others. Although i think “oh when the saints” is a banger. But one thing’s for sure, gaga is able to reinvent herself and that is the reason, why she’s still relevant up to this day. Im looking forward to LG7❤.
A true fan would want your artist to evolve and explore and take chances. And you allow them to even if not all of it is in your list of favorites. To have an artist just keep recycling the same thing over and over people can see and hear through that and theirs no talent in repeating yourself. I’m a little monster for life and even if I don’t love everything she does I will continue to stay loyal and support her for the rest of my life. I don’t get when fans stop supporting an artist just because they dislike one project that they did. A real fan would allow their artist to have room to evolve, explore and transform. If not then you don’t understand what it means to be a real artist.
I’m shocked it’s underperforming so much when she has such a big hit w Bruno right now and is 4th in the world on Spotify. Weird And she’s literally the cover of A-list pop on Apple Music so Wdym Jazz
Wanted a grungy popga album but I’m not shocked she went with jazz cuz that’s her thing now I’ll have an eye out for lg7 since her last two projects were terrible
It's definitely one of her "for me" projects and not quite a "for the fans" thing, though I imagine LG7's probably the return to The Fame/BTW/Artpop people have been waiting years for
@@EljohnMacaranas That's actually the crazy part, a 7M debut(best debut for a jazz album) for a jazz record is incredible. It was never going to reach Chromatica numbers and that's fine. With this album we get to see a happy Gaga that enjoys making music again she deserves all this success with this album and hopefully the movie does well and gives it a good boost!
@@TheMolabolaIt’s insane to me Gaga can just drop passion projects like these with the full support of the label and public… like very few others can say the same, I imagine only Bey and Taylor would be able to get away with this!
@@slystone4892It may have been composed after filming 😭 but if they were to idk add it credits wise it could qualify, the Oscars love when people perform live

What did we think of Gaga’s Harlequin?!
It’s really good!!!
It's so good. She sounds like never before. I kinda feel like she reflects her Stefani/Gaga Dichotomy with the one Harleen Quinzel has with Harkey Quinn, that may explain why it has this Joanne feeling to it. All over great for cleaning the house on a Saturday

@@the_fressnoWait, that Stefani/Gaga split really probably does inform the acting of the film and honestly is something I’ll keep in mind watching the movie!
@@lucasiglesias1894Gaga’s outdone herself vocally like if LG7 is this good vocal wise she’s minting another Grammy!
Lady Gaga's artistic evolution is one for the books, loved a good amount of tracks on this album, and I am looking forward to her 7th album, fingers crossed for a full on artpop/born this way cross-over
I think it is gonna be wild pop, her interviews saying it’s FAR from Chromatica seem to confirm that
the fact that her "scratching an itch" produces results most of her contemporaries could never dream of speaks volumes on her talent
No joke, she really did win the long game!
Her body is just too small for all that talent ❤
Smile was such a gorgeous cover, I don’t know how she went on about when doing the cover but I can imagine that she was thinking about Tony Bennett. It felt like a full circle moment of being a fan, to a having a duet with him, to this song just as a love letter to him
Awwwww 😭
This is easily a 10/10 album for me as a jazz fan, you will be seeing me throw hands of this doesn’t get anything at the Grammys
I feel like it should get a nomination at the very least!
@@EljohnMacaranas nah compared to all the other jazz albums that came out this year, this one is the best by far
didn't the deadline for nominations end?
@@itsmathbFor next year I suppose! She’ll be running two campaigns!
@CatNagTaylorsVersion I think willows jazz album is better than lady gaga but they're both definitely really good
oh u do GET IT
I hate seeing people say this is a boring jazz record, I think it’s a cool little look into her acting process!
The other day I was thinking about how will Gaga's Jazz career or album would go after the passing of Tony Bennett. sure she performs Jazz show at her vegas residency but I'm so glad getting this album as it answers my big question and she delivers it very well.
I knew she was never gonna quit it, her passion for it always felt truly there, I’m certain Tony would be proud of the work
UA-cam must be tripping because how was this published 8 hours ago? It just dropped!
They ignored my original publish time and posted this at midnight and I put it back to private but it seems UA-cam wants to say it was midnight which throws off my internal tracking and the video… I’m mad but also do not care
@@EljohnMacaranasthat makes sense and blows!
I’m more excited for Gaga’s interpretation of Harley now, this Harley seems almost more unhinged
I think it’ll be different from Margot’s for good reasons
Margot’s still remains one of my fave interpretations
@@EljohnMacaranasI think Gaga’s would be a less campy more “real world” version of Harley compared to Margot’s
@@EljohnMacaranasMargot’s will always have a place the world, it’s probably one of the best Harleys we had and will ever get
I personally don’t think the track list is uneven, it feels like an old school Jazz album put into the mind of Harley Quinn, giving it a more Pop sensibility, the only song I end up skipping is “The Joker” too
Oh that’s a shock, I’ve seen most praise heaped onto The Joker
@@EljohnMacaranasI like the Original, I just think that it’s a little too on the nose for this project and it’s the only one that makes the album too movie soundtrackesque, everything else feels like a Jazz album I would spin on any given day

Happy Mistake is gonna become a fan fave standard, I agree the voicing on this record makes it her best album in raw vocals to date!
I love “good morning” and “happy mistake” two of my favorite songs from this album I think she ate down with this album,finally I can get my Christian family to listen to lady Gaga, the album is definitely 6.5/10 or 7/10 I can’t choose also i love the rock in “the joker” the girls are releaseing rock this year omg i love it .
The rock sound on The Joker is a perfect fit for Gaga and lmao yesssssss this one was for the locals to remember her talent
When I mean the girls I mean Taylor swift-so high school,lady Gaga-the joker,Sabrina-taste,Olivia-obsessed.
Happy Mistake really sounds like what I imagine Joanne would today knowing what she knows now
@@EljohnMacaranas yesssssss

I feel like this project is meant to be a cute little detour, I do think it does sorta help us understand what we’ll see her do on screen next week!
2 videos in one day, we’re blessed
Thanks! Glad to be posting!
Harlequin is such a charming album! I love it!
Gaga gets it: the world is her stage ❤.
Like at this point, she’s the sole survivor of her time of idols for good reason (Rihanna come back queen!)
I just know Elseworld’s Harley (the one that’s a solo Jazz singer and in a folk duo with Poison Ivy) would’ve have released
I forget that’s an AU
World on a String reminds me of Brown Eyes as well, especially the outro. So beautiful.
Brown Eyes is such an underrated cut from her discography!
1:55 As a queer they, i really love Harlequin album. But it's probably because my mom was a hippie and mostly played jazz/soul/blue-grass while I was growing up
That’s so cool!

I think I would give it the same score you did or maybe a little higher because I really enjoyed it
Her and Tony’s friendship truly was something else, I saw clips of a doc they did together and it was so sweet 🥹
this album was a favorite personally. Her vocals were so good, maybe even some of her best!
Agreed on the vocals being her best!!
Folie a Deux deserves at least an Oscar nomination and I would go as far as to say she deserves Best Song for Folie.
I’d love for them to surprise us and have the song in the movie itself, someone who saw it at Cannes said it was missing
@@slystone4892 hopefully it’s In there, hoping it’s just not In early final cuts and used as a final credits song or something
@@CatNagTaylorsVersion I hope so
It’s in the movie!
Listening to the album, my mind immediately went to Arlene Sorkin singing “say we’re sweethearts again” in BATS, Gaga really captured Harley(:
RIP Arlene Sorkin ❤️🖤
These songs aren’t in the movie if I understood correctly , this is a companion album, not the actual soundtrack
Makes sense! I did see a few on the movie’s list of songs and assumed those would be completely different versions
@@EljohnMacaranas ohhh maybe! That would be interesting
@@dkingsburyI’m scared for Joaquin’s vocals so I’m glad Gaga recorded these solo!
I am not sure how he is singing. Wasnt he singing in walk the line . The Johnny Cash biopic. Never watched it
I dig this record, the great American songbook for 2020’s. I love her voice and this is a very smart rollout.
She’s truly in a class of her own!
i am going to see joker
i love this album. i will play it on Saturday when I'll be cleaning my room.
My fav tracks are: Oh, When the Saints, that's Entertainment, The Joker, close to You
The Joker is so good
@@EljohnMacaranas chills

It's true excellence. Katy could never.
A shame because if Katy explored different genres maybe she'd retain her relevance.
@@EljohnMacaranas she explored diffrent genres and she ends up always making something horrendous let that woman be in her own sound my god

OMG yeah that does sound like information overload (also happy belated birthday!)
This album is so good daddy 😍
I cracked up so hard reading this comment, thanks 😚
Before Die with a smile, I thought that lady gaga was fake and just fell off but here she is still making hits
I think she always drops a traditional record here and there just to remind people of her raw talent apart from gimmicks and cool looks
6;00… OMG I totally remember that!!! Lol, good times.😂
That’s so Raven was so good 😭

Very few stars adapt the way she does! Makes her an intergenerational talent!
For me personally I am not a fan of this album I didn’t enjoy any of the songs and it’s not for me but I still am very excited for lg7
That’s fair! This was def a side project to ensure LG7 would be true pop tbh I think Happy Mistake may have ended up on LG7 but fit this one more
