Lady gaga shouldn't voice lilith.
(ALL OF THIS IS MY OWN OPINION!! PEOPLE CAN THINK WHATEVER THEY WANT)
I see alot of people seem excited about the idea of Lady Gaga voicing Lilith, this opinion mostly stems from Vivziepop saying something about wanting her for the role. However, these comments were likely made quite some time ago (I think???) and the context has probably changed since them.
1: lilith’s Current Design and Voice Don’t match with Lady Gaga. Liliths design in the Hazbin Hotel pilot may have fit Lady Gaga’s singing voice, but even then, her speaking voice didn’t even align. Now, with Lilith’s new design in the series, she has mych much more softer features and a wholw different vibe that doesn’t match Gaga’s voice—whether speaking or singing. Casting someone whose voice complements the character’s current design is crucial. It's kinda like how Jeremy Jordan wouldn't fit pilot Lucifer
- The cost. Lady Gaga is an A-list celebrity, and hiring her would be SUPERRR expensive. Considering Tve fact Liliths Charlie’s mother and would likely be a main character or maybe a important character,she would need significant screen time. This would increase costs not only for her voice acting but also for potential singing scenes, which would undoubtedly cost alot.
And maybe Instead of funneling a massive portion of the budget into one celebrity voice, that money could be better allocated to improving the animation quality for the entire series. While Hazbin Hotel’s animation isn’t really bad, there’s always room for improvement (well judging based off of season 1 animation!)
3: liliths character is all abt singing. Lilith is heavily associated with music—her debut scene in episode 1 implied she’s a talented singer and posters promoting her concerts further support that,If Lady Gaga were to voice Lilith, the cost of her singing would be astronomical 😭🙏. It’s just too unrealistic.
Also before someone says somthing about kesha-
Lady Gaga and Kesha Are Not Comparable Cases,Some people might argue that if Kesha voiced Beelzebub, Lady Gaga could voice Lilith too, but in my opinion, Kesha and Lady Gaga are not on the same level of fame or cost. Vivziepop is a self-proclaimed fan of Kesha, having drawn her for years, so Kesha’s involvement made sense on a personal and professional level. Lady Gaga, on the other hand, doesn’t have the same connection to the creator or the show.
The fancasts compared to the actual cast. Hazbin Hotel has consistently cast Broadway actors and voice performers who are well-known within theater circles (theatre kids lol) and I always liked that about the show tbh it keeps the focus on performance,meanwhile if lady gaga was in in people would be PISSED. And it just adds unnecessary drama she has a huge fanbase,people were already mad about people like Keith David and Christian borle being in hazbin hotel,imagine all that with her 😭
And alsooo- I love lady gaga but- she isn’t the right fit for Lilith, The current design, budgetary constraints, and the show’s focus on Broadway talent all point to a different direction.
