Lady GaGa - 'You & I'
A new song she performed live first time in UK at Elton John's Party.

Posted by: Chriss_S 9th July 2010, 07:23 PM

Lady GaGa confirmed today on 'The Today Show' that 'You & I' will be on her new album

Posted by: Chriss_S 27th October 2010, 12:44 AM

Studio Demo has just Leaked!

Posted by: CHЯIS. 21st June 2011, 04:14 PM

'Yoü & I' is the fourth single to be released from the album 'Born This Way'!

Posted by: JΛRK 21st June 2011, 04:17 PM

It's a very obvious choice. I have mixed emotions though. On the one hand it's a pretty stonking song with a big, bad ass chorus and that final minute or so is beyond killer. On the other hand it's also quite 'serious' sounding and could be dismissed as boring by those who just want big summery RedOne collabs from Gaga. I think at this stage depending on promo/video etc I'd say it's a safe bet for top 10 here and in the US but perhaps not top 5.

And so much for 'letting the fans choose'! I knew that wouldn't happen.

Posted by: Oricon 21st June 2011, 04:40 PM

I thought the fans get to choose....

Stupid Gaga

Posted by: Tyler 21st June 2011, 04:52 PM

She needs a fun Summer song. This is too similar to 'TEOG'.

AKA 'Scheiße' or 'Americano'. This would be better for fourth single IMO.

Posted by: Oricon 21st June 2011, 05:32 PM

Exactly my thoughts^

She should release Marry The Night when close to christmas period I think.

Posted by: JΛRK 21st June 2011, 05:32 PM

I don't think it sounds anything like The Edge of Glory... and she's released three summery songs in a row!

Posted by: Oricon 21st June 2011, 05:35 PM

3 Summery Songs? Where did you get that from o.O

Born This Way isn't summery, neither is The Edge Of Glory..

Posted by: Regina 21st June 2011, 05:35 PM

BTW not Summery? What the f*** have you been smoking?

This sounds nothing like TEOG, like Jark said.

I'm not overly keen on this, but I imagine it'll grow on me.

Posted by: JΛRK 21st June 2011, 05:46 PM

Well I'm not being funny but you're adamant that Russian Roulette is 'not a ballad' so you won't mind if I trust my own judgments on song styles over yours.

Of course BTW is summery. It's the very epitome of it.

Posted by: Oricon 21st June 2011, 05:54 PM

*Sigh* That Russian Roulette comment should've just stuck in my head

I thought Born This Way was wintery

Posted by: CHЯIS. 22nd June 2011, 10:17 PM

@ladygaga on GaGaDaily's 'What do you want to be the fourth single?' Poll:

'Marry The Night', 'Bloody Mary' and 'Scheiße' are the current Top 3 leaders in the poll.

Posted by: Slick 22nd June 2011, 10:21 PM

Born This Way is quite clearly AUTUMNAL.

I wouldn't be disappointed with Marry The Night as a single as I think it's one of the best on the album, BUT I agree she perhaps needs something a bit more interesting and fun after the preceding singles were less so (particularly following The Edge of Glory.)

Posted by: Oricon 22nd June 2011, 10:37 PM

Marry The Night is quite a fun record imo as is Hair and Scheisse. All good contenders for the fourth single to be honest.

Posted by: Tirren 22nd June 2011, 10:39 PM

Even if Born This Way IS summery it very clearly isn't 'the epitome' of it, so let's not get overexcited and stretch our claims just because we're dealing with someone who wouldn't know a ballad if it pushed him down a flight of stairs. Americano is what we'd call the epitome of the summer sound.

Marry the Night is good but it's REALLY a bit samey when it comes to the sound Gaga's been pushing this era. It doesn't sound like Edge of Glory notionally but it does have the same sort of vibe about it. Better to leave it for fifth single I think, if it's going to get released.

Posted by: Oricon 22nd June 2011, 10:41 PM

Was that a reference to me?

Posted by: CHЯIS. 22nd June 2011, 10:42 PM

The fans got good taste, if all the singles up to Americano got released as a single then it's all fine with me

Posted by: Chris_2k11 24th June 2011, 04:22 PM

Marry The Night really reminds me of an old dance song but I can't think what!

Posted by: Liаm 25th June 2011, 05:32 PM

Wow @ BM I'd be happy with anything down and including HML as a single though tbh

Posted by: David John 26th June 2011, 06:36 PM

Scheibe wouldn't do well commericially, but it's clear by the vote they have gone for fav, not if it would do well commericially.

Posted by: ☏ jake℡ 26th June 2011, 08:44 PM

'Scheiße' essentially winning by a margin of 2:1 there and quite rightfully so. If released as a single, it'll be her best to date...

Posted by: Gaga for Glee! 26th June 2011, 08:53 PM

Scheiße: 7723
Marry The Night: 4179
Bloody Mary: 2667

Posted by: CHЯIS. 6th July 2011, 10:10 AM

Very unexpected? So that rules out 'Marry The Night', 'Scheiße' and 'Hair' then!

I might just be reading a bit too much into things, but she replied to this person on Twitter saying that she'll be singing 'Heavy Metal Lover' at the BTWBall, but didn't say anything about any other BTW tracks, so maybe she could have been hinting that the next single is HML?
If it is HML,

Posted by: Jáhq 6th July 2011, 01:59 PM

I wouldn't take that to mean anything, she was replying to some fans and it just happens that someone asked about that one particular song. I don't think I'd expect her to miss out any of the standard edition tracks for the tour.

I read somewhere earlier that apprantly GaGa has said she wants to do a video for 'You & I', and they also mentioned that first tweet so was wondering if that was a hint. That could possibly disappoint a fair few people. I won't assume just yet though, maybe she's wanting to do some videos for non-singles too.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 6th July 2011, 02:24 PM

She's also said that she wants to make a music video for 'Black Jesus † Amen Fashion' though, so the 'hint' could also be of that. I think that could possibly be the worst decision she's ever made if she were to go with BJAF as the next single though. On the subject of Y&I, I agree with what you said Jack about it possibly disappointing a few people, and I'd be one of them.

01 Marry The Night
03 Government Hooker
05 Americano
06 Hair
07 Scheiße
08 Bloody Mary
09 Black Jesus † Amen Fashion
10 Bad Kids
11 Fashion Of His Love
12 Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)
13 Heavy Metal Lover
14 Electric Chapel
15 The Queen
16 Yoü & I

Too Obvious
I'd Be Happy With...

Posted by: Aidan 6th July 2011, 03:25 PM

I'm glad to see it's going to be an unexpected choice! I'd hope for it to be either 'Government Hooker', 'Americano' or 'Heavy Metal Lover'...

Posted by: Liаm 6th July 2011, 03:30 PM

Ooh unexpected? I'd be ECSTATIC with Government Hooker, Heavy Metal Lover or Americano I've got a horrible feeling it'll be You & I though I do love the song (it's an 8.5/10 for me) but it would be her weakest single so far. Americano could be huge, so I'd be inclined to want that more. It does make sense to have one of the aforementioned next, Scheisse could still be big as the 5th (or even 6th ) single.

Posted by: AV102 6th July 2011, 04:46 PM

Ah she has to release Marry The Night. I dont want this track to be left as an album track just like what happened to Dance in The Dark from The Fame Monster

Posted by: Slowpoke 6th July 2011, 07:39 PM

Don't know why you're all fitting she said she's going to release loads of singles so if you're favourite isn't next it doesn't mean it won't be released

Posted by: Acoustic 7th July 2011, 02:04 PM

'Marry the Night' and 'Hair' are really the only ones left that could work as a single. Most of the other songs are just strong album tracks.

Posted by: C H A R L I E ? 7th July 2011, 02:15 PM

I'd say "Yoü & I" could be a great single - personally I'd release that and then "Hair", then leave "Scheiße" and "Marry the Night" as album tracks.

Posted by: aprilj 7th July 2011, 03:11 PM

I think Americano will be fourth single, I just have a feeling!

Posted by: MANIAC 7th July 2011, 04:54 PM

I HOPE it's Americano. A nice repeat of Alejandro, it would grow on everyone immensely.

It'll probably be Yoü And I, though. Oh well, worse has happened.

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 8th July 2011, 01:44 PM

It better not be Heavy Metal Lover!
I wouldn't mind Americano but I don't think it's very radio friendly - then again, i don't think Scheibe is very radio friendly I'm glad I'm not picking the 4th single beacuse I wouldn't know which to go for!

Posted by: Tom Rabioso Kay 8th July 2011, 03:50 PM

This I've heard that it will be that, and then they will continue the Telephone video... Get J-Lo on it to do some spanish bits

Posted by: Regina 8th July 2011, 03:54 PM

Somebody get this man working for Gaga's people, NOW! I want that to happen.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 8th July 2011, 04:00 PM

'Heavy Metal Lover' and 'Scheiße' on the radio would make me melt, I just can't see it happening though unfortunately. I can't see her releasing anything other than 'Marry the Night', 'Hair' and (tragically) 'Yoü and I'.

Posted by: Simon. 8th July 2011, 04:31 PM

Don't like Marry The Night I'd go for Highway Unicorn

Posted by: Silver Rocket 9th July 2011, 02:17 PM

That's by far the worst song on the album!

Posted by: Jack 9th July 2011, 02:46 PM

It absolutely has to be 'Marry The Night'. I just can't see anything else working at all. I suppose 'Hair' but that's just so childish.

Posted by: Gaga for Glee! 9th July 2011, 02:50 PM

I think Government Hooker, Fashion of his love and Bad kids Could all make Amazing Videos!

Posted by: L!am 10th July 2011, 08:41 AM

According to people over at Digital Spy the next single is Bloody Mary! I do hope so : )

Posted by: Tom Rabioso Kay 10th July 2011, 10:03 AM

Wow, actually that would be pretty great too

Posted by: funki_munki 11th July 2011, 10:30 AM

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE Let it be Americano!

Posted by: AV102 11th July 2011, 11:51 PM

The only singles left on the album are Hair and Marry The Night

Posted by: Jonjo 11th July 2011, 11:53 PM

'Bloody Mary' would be amazing! It's different to what she's released before and could actually do very well.

Posted by: danielMFAO 12th July 2011, 09:51 PM

Please don't let it be "Bloody Mary" or "You And I" - they are the worst tracks on the album I'd love 'Americano' or 'Schiesse' to be released - I think 'Americano' would be better as a 4th single as it's more summery, and then maybe 'Schiesse' as a 5th single and 'Marry The Night' as a 6th single if there is one.

Posted by: Daniel II 13th July 2011, 01:28 AM

RUMOUR MILL

1) On June 28th she told Out Front Colarado that she is "planning a Yoü and I video" http://omfgmusic.blogspot.com/2011/06/lady-gaga-has-been-hard-at-work.html

2) On July 8th a well known insider on twitter, @jeff1317, who broke the story about the mermaid scenes being scrapped for the EOG video among others, tweeted that the rumour that Americano will be the next single and a continuation of the Telelphone video is false.

http://twitter.com/#!/jeff1317/status/89109467395923968

3) In an interview she did when she was in Taiwan (on the youtube link skip to the 3.45 mark) they start discussing her next video, she says that;



Yuyi is the name of her mermaid persona that she used for the EOG performance on Le Grand Journal and was supposed to appear in the EOG video.

She has mentioned on twitter that Bloody Mary is the song about her living halfway between reality and fantasy. Also, going by what she said here, about it "being her dream of the future" the theme doesn't really fit with Yoü and I.



On twitter in response, however it has been used to $h!t stir the rumour that Yoü and I is the next single.



Also, 11 hours ago on her tumblr, she uploaded a pic of herself from the Le Grand Journal performance; and in the caption she has spelt Yuyi with the Lüc Carl inspired ü. Another indication.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo84vxPEnz1qm0c6bo1_1280.png?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1310607335&Signature=OjG931G4A6z9%2FvwDmYfYM%2Bx6DTY%3D

And there are current rumours that Universal Japan Media has 'confirmed' that Yoü and I is in fact the new single. Still waiting on official word.

Other speculation;

- MTV used Heavy Metal Lover to represent GaGa for their "Best Song of the Year So Far" poll on their website (which won) which suggests it could be the new single.
- This week GaGa was interviewed by ChannelNine Entertainment from Thailand where she confirmed she will be visiting there, and at the end of the interview, she said "I love you, it's all about you and I" Further fuel to the fire?

Posted by: Silver Rocket 13th July 2011, 04:24 PM

Please, not 'Yoü And I' or 'Bloody Mary'.

Posted by: RC741 13th July 2011, 04:56 PM

My 2 favourites on the album (out of the non-singles) are Marry The Night and Hair, but it looks like it could be Bloody Mary or You and I - I'm not sure how I feel about that if it is the case.

Posted by: Aidan 13th July 2011, 05:06 PM

I really hope it's not 'Yoü & I', it's a nice album track, but nowhere near the best on the album, and not single material.

Posted by: Liаm 13th July 2011, 05:07 PM

PLEASE let it be Bloody Mary then, but I've got a horrible feeling it's You & I It's the worst on the album. Though it's still an 8/10 it'd be the worst single of her career!

Posted by: Jáhq 13th July 2011, 05:53 PM

I feel like the only one who wouldn't mind You & I. While some songs like Bad Kids, Bloody Mary & Heavy Metal Lover took a few listens or more to grow, I found You & I very instant. Anything apart from Government Hooker, Americano, Electric Chapel or the bonus tracks would please me.

I'll raise you 'LoveGame'!

Posted by: Daniel II 13th July 2011, 06:03 PM

Looks like Yoü and I is a lock for next single; she just performed it in Australia in a wheelchair, dressed in her Yüyi mermaid costume that will feature in the new video.

Posted by: Aidan 13th July 2011, 06:27 PM

@ladygaga

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 13th July 2011, 06:56 PM

Ugh. Yoü & I is dreadful and easily my least favourite from the standard album. It still reminds me of something Shania Twain would have released ten years ago. I love Bloody Mary but it's definitely not a single either.

SCHEIßE.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 13th July 2011, 06:57 PM

The more interesting stuff on the album is being sidelined.

As for her worst single, unquestionably 'Telephone'...

Posted by: Liаm 13th July 2011, 07:52 PM

This will break her top 3 streak in my personal chart (TEOG peaked at 2, all the other singles got 1) and might miss top 10 in the UK/US charts... I can't say I didn't see it coming though! But I suppose releasing a weaker track 4th is good as Scheisse or Marry The Night could still be huge as a 5th/6th single, whereas if You & I is left until then it'd flop SO badly.

I'd give LoveGame a 9, I prefer it to You & I (which I'd give 8).

Posted by: Propilot87 13th July 2011, 08:46 PM

Ugh why this? i dont mind the song, and i know its very personal to her, but its not a good choice for a single, granted its already peaked at #33 in the US, its not gonna make the top 10, i don't get why she would pick this when there are so many other epic moments on this album. I really hope we get Schiesse 5th then.

Posted by: Daniel II 14th July 2011, 10:01 AM

Yoü and I makes commerical sense, it debuted at #36 in the US from album cherry picking, was covered on American Idol, and it's a sing-along, potentially massive cross over hit. Look at Paul O' Grady and Radio 1's Big Weekend to see how much of a reaction it gets when she performs it live, let alone at her concert shows. It's the only option left that I think will guarantee her another big radio hit in the US; which would help keep the momentum going - it's not a good time for a risky release. Marry the Night is the only other clear commerical single, and I hope that gets a winter release; Americano for 2012. Seeing as how we are supposed to get 9 singles this era that's going to last until 2013, it's safe to say Sheiße will gets its moment aswell as a full on Hair campaign.

Bloody Mary would indeed be a disaster single, even if it's given a novelty halloween release as some fans seem to want; it didn't work for Judas at Easter did it?

Posted by: TR1 14th July 2011, 12:26 PM

I don't know...
I think it's going to be Americano :-)

Posted by: dannjohn3 14th July 2011, 02:26 PM

I think it'll be "Bloody Mary" or "You & I".

@ladygaga

Posted by: Liаm 16th July 2011, 09:53 PM

Davidson said in the iTunes thread that Lady Gaga has apparently confirmed Y&I at a gig in Australia

Posted by: Aidan 16th July 2011, 10:32 PM

Right now, I'd be very shocked if we were to find out the fourth single isn't 'Yoü and I'. It's a great song, but it just doesn't seem right to be a single.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th July 2011, 10:33 PM

She has all this choice and goes with You and I. Mental.

Posted by: Dandy* 16th July 2011, 10:37 PM

Is You and I confirmed then? :/

Posted by: Liаm 16th July 2011, 10:53 PM

I don't know, I was just bringing what Davidson said in the iTunes thread here, which was that Gaga herself apparently confirmed it at a concert in Australia but a Google search yields nothing so I'm not sure it has.

Posted by: C H A R L I E ? 16th July 2011, 11:28 PM

Pleased, I love "Marry The Night" but she needs something wildly different out there to sell the album. I can see Y&I getting massive radio play, maybe even "Alejandro" levels.

Posted by: Oricon 17th July 2011, 04:41 PM

Geez, You and I as the next single. It lacks catchiness and a hook, something which is important for the charts. I really don't think it will do a Rolling In The Deep...

Posted by: Rain 17th July 2011, 11:26 PM

You & I would be a stupid choice. She really should go for Hair which is a surefire smash.

Posted by: Gaga for Glee! 18th July 2011, 05:44 AM

Yoü & I should be the last single to close the album. I say GH, FOHL, BK or Americano

Posted by: Crowan 18th July 2011, 12:44 PM

If it is indeed You and I, i really hope its a US only single, and she releases Scheisse internationally!

Posted by: Oricon 18th July 2011, 03:30 PM

We will wait for the video I guess to see what is the next single

Posted by: Klumzee 18th July 2011, 04:03 PM

So 'You & I' isn't definitely the next single? I'd rather it be something else, as I find it quite similar to 'The Edge Of Glory', and it feels like the perfect song to end the era. Hopefully we get 'Scheibe' and 'Americano' at some point

Posted by: Love Me Crazy 18th July 2011, 05:33 PM

She has to release Scheisse!

Posted by: Tom Rabioso Kay 18th July 2011, 09:02 PM

It didn't exactly smash worldwide as a promo single. It's not that great IMHO, You And I is better but I really want Americano or Bloody Mary.

Posted by: Rain 19th July 2011, 11:35 AM

That doesn't mean it wouldn't once it got airplay and a video.

Posted by: Oricon 19th July 2011, 06:37 PM

Her fourth single will have a better chart ranking as it won't be front loaded due to the fact the video is premiering on the day Gaga announces the 4th single so we will see a gradual climb for the 4th single as airplay picks up.

Posted by: Lukuzz 20th July 2011, 02:31 PM

You and I is one of my faves off the album so I'd be very happy with it as a single!

Posted by: Paulouk83 20th July 2011, 08:40 PM

id rather americano and/or schielbe

Posted by: Oricon 21st July 2011, 09:20 AM

Americano but US release and Scheisse for worldwide is more of a suitable choice, or just put Hair as the only 4th single release.

So much for letting fans to pick the 4th single when You and I wasn't even in the top 3 single poll choices...

Posted by: Daniel II 21st July 2011, 01:00 PM

Picture of GaGa on the set of her new video; apparently they are filming in Nebraska. I don't think there's much more room left for debate on what the next single is.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 21st July 2011, 04:37 PM

Posted by: Aidan 21st July 2011, 06:21 PM

If that's true, looks like there's no doubt on what the single is then.

Posted by: Liаm 21st July 2011, 06:34 PM

I'm like the biggest Gaga loon on here but seriously? It's a great song but it'll be very lucky to go even top 10 UK or US!

Posted by: danarion 21st July 2011, 10:13 PM

http://www.musicchartheaven.com/ArtistsL/ladygagaborn.htm

Posted by: CHЯIS. 21st July 2011, 10:53 PM

'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)' is the latest track thought to be the single. My moneys on 'Yoü & I' though.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 21st July 2011, 11:03 PM

Oh, and apparently its been confirmed that this video is the continuation of the 'Telephone' video.

Posted by: Daniel II 21st July 2011, 11:50 PM

http://twitter.com/#search?q=continuation%20to%20telephone

Lot of talk on twitter about it, but I don't know, the source is @TimGaGa who is a big member on GGD; it's not exactly reliable. People are saying that she's walking down the road after leaving the Pussy Wagon behind, and she's shooting it in Nebraska to throw people off the scent - I guess there will be no end to the speculation now until the video actually premieres.

IF it is true, Highway Unicorn would fit well AND would be an 'unexpected single'; it's not controversial lyric wise, has a good message that sums up the album, is catchy - it could work. I can see another EOG disappointment among stans though if it turns out to be just GaGa singing You and I around a barn or something, and I have no idea where Yuyi will fit into all this.

Btw Liam, You and I went Top 10 on iTunes for a few days in the US after the album was released; it was massively cherry picked there - given some airplay, a video and VMA performance it could be a smash. People may not like the song, but I think it's one of the few commercial songs left on the album; Scheiße may be a fan favourite but it wouldn't work in the US, it could be another Judas on radio and she can't afford another one of those. If she does make it a single, it should be towards the end of the campaign when it doesn't really matter what the hell she releases.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd July 2011, 01:14 AM

Ooft. 'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)' is one of my favourites from the album and is quite similar to 'Poker Face'. I can actually see it doing well. Although it will obviously not do as well (or anywhere NEAR) as 'Poker Face' did. I get the feeling it's just a bit of a throw off as people could have correctly guessed it'd be 'You & I'!

Posted by: Liаm 22nd July 2011, 01:24 AM

I wouldn't be displeased with Highway Unicorn actually

Posted by: MANIAC 22nd July 2011, 04:10 AM

I've always like Highway Unicorn (Road to Love). It could do with a radio edit better than the poor mess that was given to TEOG, though.

Ride ride, pony, ride ride.

Posted by: Tom Rabioso Kay 22nd July 2011, 07:01 AM

I don't like it that much tbh, would rather have You And I

Posted by: Aidan 22nd July 2011, 10:15 AM

'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)' would be a great single! Hopefully we find out soon, she said a week ago on Twitter we'd be getting the video in 'just days'.

Posted by: Tom Rabioso Kay 22nd July 2011, 10:55 AM

That means nothing in Gagaland tbh. A year is just 365 days

Posted by: Aidan 22nd July 2011, 11:25 AM

I know. It's definitely not in 'just days' if we only just saw a picture of her filming the video a couple of days ago!

Posted by: Liаm 22nd July 2011, 05:13 PM

DS seem to think it's You & I:

Posted by: CHЯIS. 22nd July 2011, 11:36 PM

Video apparently directed by Laurieann Gibson.

19th July (video shoot day) she tweeted: @Boomkack

"Nebraska and Jesus Christ" being a lyric from 'Yoü & I'.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 23rd July 2011, 12:20 AM

'Highway Unicorn' is by FAR the worst song on the album. I would be disappointed with 'You And I' but 'Highway Unicorn' is a huuuge no no no no no no. NO.

Video Rumours

• A ton of freakshow people including Bionic Gaga, Mermaid Gaga, a “Sno Cone Man,” etc.
• Gaga will be playing the piano in the middle of the cornfield with Jo Calderone* sitting on top of the piano and watching Gaga.
• Gaga and Luc kissing in the cornfield at night as fireworks go off. Luc pushes Gaga down and runs away.
• Luc’s El Camino, Ginger, is on set.
• Gaga getting married inside the barn.
• Dancers doing choreography in the crop circle made in the field.
• Jonas Morales rumored to be directing the video.
• Part of the video was filmed in LA and today is the last day of the video shoot.
• Will be released in Early August.

Also, there's a rumour that the song has been remixed to be more uptempo.

* Jo Calderone is GaGa's male alter-ego; as 'Jo' GaGa did a photoshoot for Vogue Japan and did a faux-interview. GaGa also tweets as him occasionaly too http://twitter.com/#!/jocalderone

@Formichetti

Last day of filming was today. Confirmed by Nicola Formichetti.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd July 2011, 05:41 PM

Remixed to be more uptempo? Please don't be true, it'd probably ruin You & I and would just make the choice even more chronically baffling. I mean the only redeeming feature of it being a single (though it's a great song) is that it's her first ballad single. If it's remixed to be uptempo, we might as well get Marry The Night, Scheisse or Americano...

Posted by: dannjohn3 23rd July 2011, 06:38 PM

I'm not a Gaga loon, but why is "Highway Unicorn" now a rumoured single?

Posted by: Love Me Crazy 23rd July 2011, 06:53 PM

a remix can only save the song

Posted by: C.R. 23rd July 2011, 10:13 PM

Oh, either Highway Unicorn or You & I; what fantastic choices! I'd rather it be You & I out of those really, though much as others have said, there's a good few more songs she could have and should have gone with.

Posted by: Gaga for Glee! 23rd July 2011, 10:39 PM

You & I could sell the album well!

Marry The Night's getting airplay in Donegal

Posted by: Liаm 24th July 2011, 01:59 PM

Woo for Donegal then

Posted by: cookie_monster 24th July 2011, 06:56 PM

As nice as 'You and I' is... That's all it is. I feel that Gaga needs something cutting edge for her fourth single such as Government Hooker or Americano. Americano screams summer and it sounds very Europe inspired, but it is quite similar to Alejandro. Government Hooker I'd imagine would have an amazing dark video but it isn't really radio friendly. Marry The Night should be the fifth single as there is little chance of that flopping I'd say. Bloody Mary is also a highlight but I don't see it as single worthy.

I just don't know why she's gone for Y & I after Edge of Glory. Hopefully the video will push it to the top 10 and then 'Marry The Night' can smash in the Autumn.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 25th July 2011, 12:46 AM

Already bored of 'Yoü & I' now. I'd just love it if on the day of the release the single ended up being 'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)', really beginning to get into that song now, would be a great single choice. Very summery, and I could see it doing pretty well. It'd be even better if it were 'Heavy Metal Lover' though.

Posted by: Liаm 25th July 2011, 01:37 PM

I would die (of happiness, of course) if it was Heavy Metal Lover It's clearly You & I though, great song but would be her weakest single yet by some way Yes, even below LoveGame (which is actually easily a 9/10 for me).

Posted by: CHЯIS. 25th July 2011, 09:23 PM

'Yoü & I' is officially the fourth single! Just confirmed by Lady GaGa on a radio station in Nebraska.

Posted by: Jonjo 25th July 2011, 09:28 PM

I thought it was meant to be "a surprising choice", or whatever?

Posted by: Aidan 25th July 2011, 09:31 PM

I think it is a pretty unexpected single, considering many fans were expecting 'Scheiße'. I don't mind about the song being a single too much now, I've listened to it more recently and it's summery song. Let's hope it will do well and the video isn't a disappointment.

Posted by: Jonjo 25th July 2011, 09:42 PM

I don't think they were "expecting". I think they/we wanted 'Scheiße'. I think most people were expecting 'Marry the Night' or 'You & I'. With 'Scheiße' & 'Americano' being the general fan favourites to be released. Well that's what I got from all/most the speculation anyway haha.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 25th July 2011, 09:51 PM

The concept of the video is GaGa walking from New York to Nebraska to get her boyfriend back.

You can listen to the Omaha 94.1 interview here, http://ladygaganow.net/?p=6369

Posted by: Aidan 25th July 2011, 10:11 PM

The concept sounds like it would suit the song, but that just sounds like another 'The Edge Of Glory' video, GaGa walking on streets. This should be better though, since there could be more scenery as it's from New York to Nebraska, rather than 'The Edge Of Glory' where it was just a studio with one New York street.

Posted by: Liаm 25th July 2011, 10:30 PM

I saw it coming, I knew it would end up a single at some point as soon as I heard the album. Well actually the song has grown on me. Still not the best single choice, though it should show another side as her first ballad single. I'd say it's overtaken Edge Of Glory now, and my least favourite is probably Electric Chapel (still a 9/10). That's disregarding the bonus tracks, the best of which (Fashion Of His Love) being an 8/10. I can't see Y&I doing any better than Judas/Edge Of Glory did, but then again Heart will love it and it isn't OA/OS.

Posted by: Daniel II 26th July 2011, 06:11 AM

You can watch the radio interview here too; and you can see what goes on when she arrives and they meet, and what they talk about between the breaks which I always find fascinating to watch. I love how she directs the interview, that that she lets a fan come in and get an autograph and how she gets into her own songs; she seems so carefree and laidback throughout, plus she looks adorable

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/lady-gaga-kat-103

I've said it before, but I really do think You and I is the most logical single choice; she needs to regain public faith and favour before she puts out something like Scheiße and this has the potential to be a big crossover hit, especially if she performs it at the VMAs; we shall see. I love the concept of the video too, and that they're shooting it on location; I think it could be, along with EOG, GaGa's most personal yet.

"It's really cinematic and beautiful; I have never seen light on film the way the way it looked here in Nebraska - I mean it just looked like God's light was shining right through that barn."

Can't wait.

Posted by: Regina 26th July 2011, 11:31 AM

My favourite track off the album

Posted by: dannjohn3 26th July 2011, 11:31 AM

Good choice. It's nice to see her finally take some risks with single selections.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 26th July 2011, 01:30 PM

I take back what I said about not being happy with this single choice, I'm loving this song again now, and I think it'll give her a reasonably big hit. I'm thinking (well, more hoping) that this could do a 'The Lazy Song' and possibly get her another UK #1, obviously depending on what else is released around the same time. This is going to appeal to an audience that probably wouldn't usually listen to her music (the older-ish generation), as well as her usual fanbase, therefore a clever choice in terms of bumping the album sales and keeping her exciting (unpredictable). If for some reason the single doesn't do as well as hoped there's always 'Scheiße' 'Marry The Night' or 'Americano' she can fall back on for the fifth single which any would no-doubtably do as well as her previous singles. This is guarenteed to be a smash in America though isn't it, I mean it went Top 10 on iTunes the week of the album release. Looking forward to seeing the video now, as long as we don't get another 'TEoG' joby I'll be happy.

Posted by: Regina 26th July 2011, 01:44 PM

BTW and Judas weren't big enough risks for ya?

Posted by: Liаm 26th July 2011, 01:47 PM

I'll probably end up loving this tbh. As I said a few posts ago, this is growing on me lots, and I can see it growing further. It is nice for her to have a ballad single at last, and this probably will do better than at least Judas, seeing as airplay has time to kick in.

Posted by: Aidan 26th July 2011, 01:53 PM

I've been listening to this song a lot for the past five days or so now, and it was such an amazing song to listen to in the sun. The video should show that too, as GaGa said in the radio interview in Nebraska it was very hot during the video shoot.

Posted by: Aphrodite 26th July 2011, 02:08 PM

I do like the song, and as a single its different from her other releases, its also a grower andf should sell steadily over a lengthy period for her.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 26th July 2011, 02:52 PM

TUMBLR HAS AN EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK AT THE VIDEO.



I really don't care if this is the most logical single or whatever... For an album so batshit crazy and full of memorable moments she sure is choosing the most safe and boring singles. I still absolutely despise this - Shania Twain wouldn't even touch such rubbish.

Posted by: dannjohn3 26th July 2011, 05:31 PM

"Born This Way" was released alongside other uplifting songs... "We R Who We R", "Firework" etc.

"Judas" isn't risky, it's just that the public were too dumb to notice it's metaphorical imagery and thought she was making a comment against religion.

Posted by: j a k e 26th July 2011, 06:01 PM

I think this is an excellent album and am a fan of her music 80% of the time but get real people. You can be a massive fan and not be "persuaded" that this is suddenly an excellent choice of single. It's nothing short of terrible. It's in no form indicative of the rest of the album, in fact it sticks out like a sore thumb on the rest of the record and spoils the flow. It's lyrically and musically poor. How would you feel loving this song then purchasing the rest of the record to find a record as ridiculously electronic and crazy as BTW is.

At best it's a lazy, weak choice of single from a woman I viewed to be the very antithesis of such a practice, at worst it's a total con...

Posted by: Tirren 26th July 2011, 06:53 PM

^ Everything said there, not to mention it's made all the worse and more offensive by it being her worst track to date. A dull attempt to get lightning to strike twice as it had done with Speechless by making a cheesy 'Elton John sings over We Will Rock You' pastiche and entirely unrepresentative of where she is artistically.

Posted by: Liаm 26th July 2011, 07:02 PM

I do kind of agree with this, while I did say above it's nice for her to have a ballad single and I won't deny it's growing on me, I agree you can't say it's a brilliant single choice. I think it will go top 10 but I can't see how people can see it's really the best choice, when we have Scheisse, Marry The Night, Americano and even Bloody Mary (which is still a more downtempo track yet electronic enough to represent the album). You & I is very good in a 'cheesy' way (I am a loon, I was bound to at least like it) but it really does sound totally out of place - much like Run The World (Girls) does on the largely mellow 4. I think she should have done a couple more ballads for this album, so You & I wasn't quite so out of place in it all.

I mean it will probably sell the album but some old woman listening to Heart will probably hear/buy it and then die of shock from Heavy Metal Lover and Government Hooker. I think she should have maybe either had more ballads on BTW (only one or two though) or kept You & I for a re-package with a couple of 'mellow' tracks on. Probably the latter, BTW being totally electronic would be have been nice.

Posted by: Oricon 26th July 2011, 07:07 PM

Bloody Mary would NOT do good if released as a single, the references to church organs and bells and the title itself would put off people and the radio.

Still don't want You and I as the fourth single but we'll see how it charts..

Posted by: Liаm 26th July 2011, 07:10 PM

I don't think BM would do too well either, but I think it would be a more representative of the album, I mean You & I is more like a Shania Twain song, and god knows nothing else on the album is even close to Shania!

Posted by: Slowpoke 26th July 2011, 07:21 PM

Starting to think this may do really well.

"This time I'm not leaving without you..."

Posted by: Daniel II 26th July 2011, 07:57 PM

Her album sales are fading in the US, as is the public's goodwill towards her theatrics, she needs to push a single that would appeal to the casual buyer aswell as her fanbase.

You may think it goes against her artistic sensibilities, but she has talked numerous times about how she loves stadium rock and how artists such as Queen inspire her, and this just shows it more than any of her other tracks. My opinion remains the same, it may not be her at her batshit crazy best, but then radio aren't playing her anymore at her batshit crazy best. If she gets a hit out of this, it would help in the longterm and make sure that her star (in the US) doesn't fade.

Also, I think it's hardly her worst track, that honour goes to Money Honey.

Posted by: Slowpoke 26th July 2011, 08:01 PM

Not arsed, this has clicked BIG TIME. Great choice!!

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 26th July 2011, 08:56 PM

'LoveGame' and 'Boys Boys Boys' are both far worse than 'Money Honey' - although all three are diabolical (like most of The Fame to be honest).

Posted by: Slick 26th July 2011, 09:02 PM

Oh this is one of my least favourites I've listened to this less than 5 times since I got the album. That said, it's a refreshing choice after all of the club-banger/disco-stompers/general dancey choons we've had from this album so far.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 26th July 2011, 09:07 PM

She is probably going to waste a VMA performance on this isn't she? 'Scheiße' has so many more possibilities for something like that. Sigh.

Posted by: Charli 27th July 2011, 02:33 PM

This was one of my favourite album tracks the first time I heard the album ('Marry the night' ), but I never saw it as single material.

Posted by: Oricon 27th July 2011, 03:54 PM

To be honest the only reason You and I got top 10 on iTunes is because she promoted the hell out of the song before the release of the album hence it flew up. Whether it will go top 10 again on iTunes is another question (by this time, all the fans practically have the songs and will rely on casual buyers to see if they click with it).

Posted by: j a k e 27th July 2011, 04:01 PM

Yes it's true to say she's been inspired by stadium rock, Queen etc whatever but it's still all besides the point when it's the one such track on an electronic record. Also it's very Shania Twain and country in twang. It's a step back in her evolution and I doubt will do anything to further her career. I'd go as far to say that its inclusion on the record and now as a single is purely a matter of sentimentality on her behalf and it's shocking she and her label would allow her to tarnish her artistic integrity for what should be such a minor (at most) aspect of single choice and artistic evolution...

Posted by: *Ben* 27th July 2011, 04:06 PM

I'm not really happy with the choice. This could be a bigger hit in the USA but not successful in Europe imo.

Posted by: Oricon 27th July 2011, 04:41 PM

Ballads tend to fare better in the UK compared to the US though... (California King Bed is an example..)

You & I has a slightly rocky/country twinge (hence the Shania Twain comparisons), a sound which is more popular in the US.

Posted by: Chris_2k11 27th July 2011, 04:56 PM

I was hoping for Marry The Night or Heavy Metal Lover.

Never would have expected this to be a single..

Posted by: Tyler 27th July 2011, 08:30 PM

Like Jake perfectly put, it does not represent the album. But it will be huge for her in America, us crackers will eat that shit up like Jennifer Lopez's ass in a lingerie shop.

HOWEVER. She has been INCREDIBLY safe after 'Judas'... I think it's under performance scared her label and Gaga.

SCHEISSE IS THE BEST THING ON THE ALBUM!

PS- Oricon, LMFAO this is not a ballad... wtf. No.

Posted by: Aidan 27th July 2011, 08:37 PM

I don't think she's necessarily playing it safe. I had a feeling GaGa would want to release this song as a single at one time, and I believe it would do a lot better as an earlier single rather than the fifth or sixth. I also remember after the release of the album GaGa Daily created a poll asking what fans wanted as a single from the album, which GaGa tweeted saying she was keeping a close eye on - the poll had 'Scheiße' most voted by quite a large gap. So perhaps GaGa saw the demand for it as a single and decided it would do a lot better as a fifth or sixth single than 'Yoü and I'.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 27th July 2011, 09:18 PM

It really pisses me off that they went with this considering what they have to offer on the album.

Posted by: dannjohn3 27th July 2011, 09:51 PM

I think it's a great choice, she is taking a risk and I'm behind her 100% with this single choice (it's kindah like if they'd gone with "Speechless" over "Alejandro").

Posted by: Jonjo 28th July 2011, 01:55 AM

How is this song "taking a risk"? It's surely one of the most safe choices from the album, no? A risk to me, would be releasing something like 'Government Hooker', 'Bloody Mary', 'Americano', 'Heavy Metal Lover' or 'Scheiße' or something. Not this. I recommend people stick with The 4-non-blondes 'What's Going On?' original. It's far superior, imo.

Posted by: Oricon 28th July 2011, 05:26 AM

And again my ballad telling skills fails again

Pretty sure You and I is a slow to mid tempo ballad though...

Posted by: dannjohn3 28th July 2011, 11:52 AM

Because she has not released a non-dance song in her entire career. It's also quite country-esque and generally a different sound for her.

Posted by: Jáhq 28th July 2011, 12:40 PM

Well, I'd probably say this is the closest thing to a ballad on the album, but perhaps not quite there.

Maybe this is slightly risky in some aspects, but compared to what she could choose, I'd say this is playing it safe.

Don't like the 'Yoü & I' choreography AT ALL. Looks like something from a school play.

My , You and I certainly isn't a song where you dance to and have a choreography to.....

Posted by: Klumzee 29th July 2011, 07:53 PM

The choreography for 'You & I' is terrible! It's definitely a 'sit behind the piano and sing your heart out' type of song.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 29th July 2011, 08:39 PM

'Yoü & I' is #187 on US iTunes, and thats after being performed TWICE on TV last night. (So You Think You Can Dance and Jimmy Kimmel).

Posted by: Liаm 29th July 2011, 08:46 PM

All these times she sat and done Pokerface etc. at a piano and gets up to dance for You & I??? AWFUL, just awful. I agree it looks like a bad school play

Posted by: Oricon 29th July 2011, 09:46 PM

I think her fifth single would be what would save her stardom as I think she's going downhill with every release from Born This Way... (bar The Edge Of Glory)...

Posted by: Acoustic 29th July 2011, 10:04 PM

Posted by: Rain 30th July 2011, 12:02 PM

You & I charted really well when the album was released (didn't it go top 10 on iTunes?) so that has probably persuaded the label to go with it. Unfortunately it's not that radio-friendly at all so I can't see it connecting with the general public. We'll see though, maybe the video will be amazing although I'm not holding my breath after the Edge Of Glory fiasco.

Posted by: CHЯIS. 30th July 2011, 01:03 PM

Yes, it went Top 10 on US iTunes the week of the album release, entering at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100. She had performed it on a few TV shows over there though with the first on The Today Show in July 2010.

It also entered the Canadian Hot 100 at #27 and the Official UK Chart at #89.

Posted by: MANIAC 30th July 2011, 05:35 PM

Good Lord, I despise Cat Deeley.

OT, this song is actually starting to make far more sense to me as a single. It'll crossover without a doubt. I can actually see this ending up as a classic somewhere down the road. However, I agree with what's been said before that it doesn't represent the album whatsoever. At least she didn't put this out as a first single...

She looks slightly like how Example would look if he was doing drugs or as an alcoholic or something.

Ditto. Actually is it me or does she look kind of hot?

Posted by: Jack 6th August 2011, 09:53 AM

It's scary how convincing she looks as a man

FIT!
I actually really like them!

FAR more interesting than the song itself!

Posted by: Karma 6th August 2011, 05:02 PM

WHAT. I was thinking why has she got a random man as her front cover, but then i read its HER?! Every single time always doing something out of the oridinary, got to give it to her..

Posted by: Oricon 6th August 2011, 06:11 PM

She actually looks good when she's a man as well, which is sort of scary.......

Posted by: Atonement 6th August 2011, 06:44 PM

I like the second one. On the first one (s)he looks really creepy.

Posted by: Oricon 6th August 2011, 06:54 PM

If I show this picture to anyone, I wouldn't think a lot of people would guess it's Gaga

Posted by: Regina 6th August 2011, 07:05 PM

You mean they'd bypass the 'Lady Gaga' text in the picture?

Well, obviously i'd remove the Lady Gaga tag from it and possibly the song name too

Posted by: ·PAVEL 7th August 2011, 07:05 AM

She's already done the photoshoot where she is a man, so I'm not surprised with these covers at all. And it's so obvious that is GaGa.

The song is still average.

Posted by: Davidson 10th August 2011, 08:14 PM

She said, around a month ago now that the music video was only 'days away' and now we still don't have it, and will probably have to wait another month or even longer for it. Ridiculous.

Posted by: CHЯIS 10th August 2011, 08:19 PM

When she said the video was 'days away' she meant that the video SHOOT was days away, not the video release.

Posted by: CHЯIS 10th August 2011, 08:33 PM

I do agree though, she does make us wait ridiculously long for her videos. Most of them have been worth the wait though, bar TEoG.

Like the look of that still. I wonder if thats Jo (GaGa) standing on the piano?

Posted by: Gaga for Glee 13th August 2011, 06:11 PM

Yes I think so. They said that Gaga would play to piano with Jo sitting on top

Posted by: Klumzee 13th August 2011, 06:16 PM

Who's Jo? Is she an alter-ego like Yuyi?

Posted by: CHЯIS 13th August 2011, 06:18 PM

He's the guy thats on the 'Yoü And I' single cover, and yes, another of her alter-egos.

Posted by: Klumzee 13th August 2011, 06:23 PM

Oh! I hadn't seen that anywhere in here. Shouldn't it be Joe? I didn't really like the look of him Maybe he's like a Nebraskan farmer/cowboy?

Posted by: CHЯIS 13th August 2011, 06:25 PM

Maybe. Apparently she's turning up to the VMAs as him, instead of GaGa.

No, its spelt Jo Calderone.

Posted by: Klumzee 13th August 2011, 06:26 PM

Oh god! That should be INTERESTING.

Shemale perhaps?

Posted by: Liаm 13th August 2011, 06:26 PM

I thought it would be Joe too, Jo is the female spelling of the name, although I guess that's sort of a play on the fact she is a woman and he's a male alter-ego, so they use the female spelling instead of the male spelling. And he definitely looks like a farmer/cowboy, probably something to do with the theme of the song and video.

Posted by: Gaga for Glee 13th August 2011, 06:37 PM

Do you all think that Gaga turning up as Jo is the thing that will top the meat dress?

Posted by: Liаm 13th August 2011, 06:39 PM

Probably, I can see that happening tbh. I'd rather she went as Yuyi but seeing as You & I is the single and Jo is tied in with that, I reckon she'll go as Jo.

Posted by: Gaga for Glee 13th August 2011, 08:06 PM

YUYI would be great. When she wins best female video and video with a message yuyi should be carried on stage to collect her awards!

Apparently, straight after, GaGa will have a 'surprise announcement' for us from New York.

Posted by: CHЯIS 14th August 2011, 06:23 PM

Maybe an announcement about the VMAs?

Posted by: Aidan 14th August 2011, 06:26 PM

Not long now. I too think the announcement is to do with the VMAs, perhaps announcing a performance.

Posted by: Oricon 14th August 2011, 11:01 PM

Maybe her hosting the VMAs?

Posted by: CHЯIS 14th August 2011, 11:06 PM

Why exactly would she HOST the VMAs?

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 14th August 2011, 11:14 PM

Apparently those are the rumours flying around right now... I'm sure it'll either be that/VMA performance or the tour announcement/details.

Posted by: CHЯIS 14th August 2011, 11:26 PM

Hopefully it'll be either of the latter two from those three then. Can't imagine her hosting, though it'd be funny to watch considering how awkward she can be at times. Bless.

Probably both. Gaga said in the radio interview about the video that because she has to walk so far her feet start bleeding and her shoes become full of grass and dirt.

Posted by: YÜYI 15th August 2011, 04:54 PM

So it is real blood.
OUCH that has to be Painful

Posted by: Aidan 15th August 2011, 05:04 PM

I don't think it's real blood, since Gaga didn't actually walk from New York to Nebraska for the video.

Posted by: CHЯIS 16th August 2011, 05:17 PM

Video is apparently 6 minutes and 10 seconds long.



Music channels will be having a field day cutting and editing it all (and will no doubt end up doing a piss poor job as usual).

Posted by: Klumzee 16th August 2011, 05:19 PM

Well the song is over 5 minutes, so there shouldn't be too many cut scenes.

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2011, 05:24 PM

With how long the song is, I'd imagine there'll be a bit of an intro without music and then maybe a bit at the middle or the end, there's not that much space to fill seeing as the song's 5 minutes 7 seconds, 30 seconds at the middle and end is plausible. Music channels will still do a shitty edit though, no doubt.

Posted by: CHЯIS 16th August 2011, 05:27 PM

That sex scene will without a doubt be cut out, so hopefully that'll be the only part.

Confirmation of video time. Also, looks like they're going to keep us waiting a little longer... 'soon'.

Posted by: Acoustic 16th August 2011, 05:32 PM

Wished she'd put this much effort into the video for TEoG, which is a much better song.

A lot happening and I don't really get it. I'd say it once again isn't up to the standard of Telephone/Paparazzi/Bad Romance, and from this era I prefer Judas, but not too bad I guess.

Posted by: JakeWild 16th August 2011, 05:47 PM

Again I really wish this video was for a better song. It seems like such a waste though I must say it does make the song SLIGHTLY more bearable.

Cringe at the "6 years" bit!

Posted by: Cremey 16th August 2011, 05:48 PM

It doesn't really fit the song at all? Just seems completely random. It's like she's trying to create a masterpiece but it just doesn't fit...

Posted by: CHЯIS 16th August 2011, 05:49 PM

I like it. A bit WTF, but thats GaGa for you.

Posted by: Slick 16th August 2011, 05:50 PM

IT'S GONE. WAAH.

Posted by: Rain 16th August 2011, 05:51 PM

I didn't get the video at all. This whole release is such a non-event. The song is just not single material and I don't think many people care about it.

Posted by: Klumzee 16th August 2011, 05:56 PM

I didn't get what the plotline was and it didn't really fit in with the song and it's message. I think GaGa is 'over-thinking' all her music videos after Bad Romance and Telephone and is now alienating the public with them.

Posted by: Aidan 16th August 2011, 05:57 PM

Oh it just HAD to get deleted before I watched it.

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2011, 06:04 PM

FUCKING HELL

Posted by: Aled. 16th August 2011, 06:05 PM

I quite liked it. It makes no sense AT ALL of course but understanding what happens inside that woman's head is something I've long given up on. The problem really is that this isn't the strongest track on the album by quite some distance, and whilst I think this is the best video she's given us this era, I do wish it had been to a stronger track.

Posted by: Klumzee 16th August 2011, 06:06 PM

You're not missing out on much.

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2011, 06:07 PM

I know, but I'm looning and want to see the video

I had a feeling just from the pictures it would have little to do with the song's message but it looks a good video.

Posted by: Aidan 16th August 2011, 06:09 PM

I like it. It doesn't really fit the song much, but it was a good video if it were for another song.

Posted by: CHЯIS 16th August 2011, 06:12 PM

I wish she'd have put some eyebrows on for the bit at the end when she takes her glasses off. She looks hideous.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th August 2011, 06:15 PM

Not what I was expecting...

It would have made more sense if the first part of the song was her walking/playing piano in the cornfield with Jo and then him Frankensteining her instead of the random guy. BUT IT WAS ALRIGHT. Shit song still.

Posted by: Slick 16th August 2011, 06:20 PM

I've seen it now. To me the video doesn't seem to fit the song at all. The song is nowhere near as 'epic' as her others and doesn't SUIT a video like this, plus the totally random events, suspect plotline and choreography all seem much better suited to something a bit more upbeat. It's not bad but I do think she's got to the stage now where she's scared of making a simple but effective video with a solid story and a bit of emotion because she's got to keep bettering herself.

Posted by: Aidan 16th August 2011, 06:21 PM

Just a thought, but does anyone else think that Gaga left a clue at the end of the video, where she gets married. 'Marry The Night' the next single?

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2011, 06:26 PM

I found and managed to watch it (don't ask me for the link though, that one's down too now) and I agree with what's been said - it is a brilliant video but it really doesn't fit the song or it's message. It feels to me like she made the video and just randomly flung the song on top or something (which of course we know isn't the case but it kind of seems like it) I kind of wish she'd stop making such a big cinematic thing of all her videos now, Pokerface, Judas, Just Dance, even The Edge Of Glory were all good videos. As were Telephone, Born This Way and Bad Romance, but the whole big deal cinematic thing isn't really needed for every video. I know Edge and (to an extent Judas) were simple so maybe we were due a big Gaga video again, but this song really doesn't call for it, I'd rather this video was for Marry The Night or something.

Posted by: Jonjo 16th August 2011, 06:41 PM

My exact feelings. I think this is the video that should have been for TEoG. It'd suit that song so much better I think. It's a good video for what it is, but it honestly doesn't go with the song and it is actually a little off putting to me.

Also at the comments about the music channels "butchering the video" or whatever. They can only work with what they're given

Posted by: Aidan 16th August 2011, 07:08 PM

The video is now up on Gaga's YouTube:

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 16th August 2011, 07:13 PM

I actually like it
It makes absaloutley no sense and has no real concept, but a lot of music videos out there don't have a concept!

Posted by: Davidson 16th August 2011, 07:16 PM

The video is great, but makes no sense. Shame. I can't help but feel, if you are going to release such a personal song, you need to have a music video with a plotline and I just have no clue what it is even about. It is cinematicly rather beautiful, but it just doesn't fit the song at all.

Posted by: CHЯIS 16th August 2011, 08:50 PM

The official version of the video is soon to be added to ladygagavevo.

Posted by: MANIAC 16th August 2011, 09:23 PM

I haven't particularly enjoyed a GaGa video since Bad Romance to be honest, mainly due to their being dramatic, strange, and complete messes. This video, however, is my favorite since Bad Romance, because it has SOME kind of storyline that makes a bit of sense. Somebody above said that it would've made more sense if Jo was doing the frankenstein job, and I agree wholeheartedly. If she spent a bit more time with the piano in the cornfield, I would've really enjoyed it. I do love the song, so frankly I'm a bit annoyed by the overdramatizing of an obviously downtempo number that was begging for a simple video. However, compared to the other videos she's made as of late, it's a step in the right direction.

Posted by: Acoustic 16th August 2011, 09:41 PM

I don't understand the story of but it's beautifully shot.

Posted by: C H A R L I E ? 16th August 2011, 10:06 PM

I don't have a clue what the fuck is going on but I like it. For me:

Born This Way = good song slightly spoilt by an overly strange video
Judas = weak song with well-made but predictable video
The Edge of Glory = good song let down by disinteresting video
You and I = good song with a wacky but more interesting video

Posted by: Jack 16th August 2011, 10:20 PM

I hadn't heard this song before for whatever reason, and I cannot get over how bad it is! It sounds like something TAYLOR SWIFT would release! What on earth was she thinking?! The video's nice enough but has no real direction.

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2011, 10:57 PM

I am really loving the song now, but it does sound like something Shania Twain would release in 1996. Still love it though, and it's a nice change for her to finally have a ballad single!

Posted by: Regina 16th August 2011, 11:26 PM

LOVE the song, rather like the video, although I would have preferred more of Gaga and Jo at the piano, I loved that.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 17th August 2011, 12:16 AM

Agreed on the latter. She completely misjudged this and The Edge of Glory. The video would have been much better had it just focused on Gaga/Jo on the piano, simple and effective. The Edge of Glory was screaming for something over the top, life and death, mermaid on a cliff etc.

Posted by: Oricon 17th August 2011, 12:54 AM

So it looks like she got The Edge Of Glory's video and You and I's video mixed up.

I still love the video though, however is the one posted at her official youtube account not the official one?

Posted by: MANIAC 17th August 2011, 03:05 AM

This, but who knows. It's GaGa after all, that may have been her plan all along.

Posted by: Propilot87 17th August 2011, 05:19 AM

Maybe she felt Edge of Glory didn't need an over the top video as the song was selling itself on its own, where as You and I may need a more over the top video as its not as commercial of a song and needs the added hype to help propel it up the charts...just a thought, that being said i do sort of wish it was the other way around, i was expecting the video to just be her and Jo and different scenes with the two of them.

Judas was a STUNNING video, but not the greatest song. Then again it was #1 for three weeks on my personal chart so it can't have been that bad

Anyway I agree that this video makes no sense, and that's the kind of Gaga video I love

Posted by: Silver Rocket 18th August 2011, 10:52 AM

It's her best video this era, I'd have been happy enough for 'The Edge Of Glory' to have a video of this quality but I somehow think the days of her making 'amazing' videos are long behind her.

It's more clear than ever that the song is a HUGE step backwards for her, despite being different to all her other singles. I don't mind the song, but it is extremely tacky and given the choice she had on the album it is disappointing.

Posted by: MANIAC 18th August 2011, 02:56 PM

Posted by: Propilot87 18th August 2011, 07:36 PM

Such a flawless video.

I'm thinking the mermaid represents her childish antics (as mermaids are usually linked with childhood/fairytales). Perhaps she was a young, free, wild thing before she met him. And the scene with him humping her suggests the loss of her innocence.

Regardless, I love the video. Am impressed Gaga!

OMG i nearly weed myself from laughing so hard at that Shania/Lady Gaga picture

Posted by: Daniel. 20th August 2011, 12:26 AM

This is how I see it; GaGa is making her way back to her Nebraska guy (Lüc Carl) and has to leave her childhood behind her in the process, and ends up stopping at a crossroads, unsure of whether to go on. We also see 19 year old Stefani (GaGa with the black hair) becoming the artist and person GaGa feels she is today (the mermaid representing herself as something special/magical) through the help of Frankenstein Luc (played here by a total hunk); GaGa has stated the obvious recently, that he has been her muse for her whole career, Born This Way is dedicated to him, and it just represents that omnipresent influence on her progression visually. The GaGa and Jo scenes demonstrates her ability to love herself, and as I see it, embracing her italian ancestry aswell (something else that she feels is a huge part of her). The video ends with GaGa choosing to/feeling ready to go ahead with the relationship as she starts running down the road; her getting married to the hunk showing her ultimate fantasy (being together with Luc). Personally, my favourite video of the era, and I loved Born This Way and Judas.

Official remix from the single EP.



Pretty good, the instrumental reminds me a bit of 'I Kissed A Girl', especially at the beginning.

CONCUR

Only "Scheiβe" is better. RedOne does rule. MUSE and all that.

This video still continues to be very good and the song is very personal, heartfelt and sort of moves me.

Time to invest in a REMASTERED DELUXE COME ON OVER (perhaps)

I actually love that remix! It managed to keep the feel of the original, which I NEVER thought would be possible with an upbeat remix. I'm impressed!

Posted by: Regina 23rd August 2011, 12:15 PM

Remix is rather spendid.

Posted by: Slick 23rd August 2011, 02:12 PM

I REALLY like that remix. If anyone knows where I can get an mp3 of it drop a PM my way please! That said, the original version has grown on me a LOT lately. It's still one of the worst on the album though imo.

Posted by: MANIAC 23rd August 2011, 04:01 PM

Gotcha back, Slick.

Seriously, though. Is this going to be released or what? It's damn good, it could shoot Yoü and I to #1.

Posted by: CHЯIS 23rd August 2011, 04:12 PM

The remix will be on the single EP, which according to Wikipedia was added to US iTunes today.

Currently #111 & #283 on UK iTunes. Looks like this could become her worst selling single to date here...

Why do I have a horrible feeling this will miss top 20? I think it could tbh

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 23rd August 2011, 04:23 PM

I think it'll miss top 20 too Unless airplay pickes up *very* fast...
And that Mark Taylor Remix, I much prefer it to the original! Doesn't even sound like a remix really ?

I think it could even struggle to get Top 30. At #110 when the video has now been out for 1 week, and has been receiving a fair amount of TV airplay isn't great. We'll just have to wait and see tomorrow if Radio 1 decide to back it and add it to their playlist or not. Having said that, its currently in the Top 15 on US/Canadian/Australian iTunes, and #5 in New Zealand, so fingers crossed the UK can play catch up, and it can go AT LEAST Top 20.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd August 2011, 04:53 PM

Radio A-Listed Born This Way, Judas and TEOG, I can't see them snubbing Y&I with that in mind. It probably won't be playlisted for another week or two though. Heart should love it too, only they're usually about 2/3 months behind and will probably only begin to play it upon the next single's release.

Posted by: CHЯIS 23rd August 2011, 05:03 PM

The sooner she gets added then the better. I think TEoG is on its last legs now, so once thats over with, radio should pick up 'YAI'. Out of interest, has anyone actually heard this on any station in the UK yet?

Unsurprising how the markets it's doing best in are those where country music is popular. Although it's not REALLY country and the video is amazing it was still a dodgy choice as a worldwide single.

Rush release of Americano as a last-ditch summer single in Europe pl0x.

LADY GAGA - You And I: 21.348 (+ 1.520)

Posted by: CHЯIS 24th August 2011, 02:09 PM

'Hair' is one of the worst tracks on the album, and it'd be her worst single to date if she decided to release it. Considering she wants to release 8/9 tracks from this album though, and as its one of her faves, it wouldn't surprise me if it does get a release somewhere along the lines.

Anyway, this is starting to make progress now, #88 and #148 on UK iTunes.

Posted by: Tyler 24th August 2011, 03:11 PM

I also DESPISE 'Hair'. If it does get a release it does not need to follow up 'You & I'.

If she releases anything other then 'Scheisse', 'Americano', or 'Marry The Night'. I will be VISIBLY upset.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 04:48 PM

C listed by Radio 1 & 2!

This forum is so negative...in a week in which BTW the album will spend it's 14th week in the top 20, You and i will chart again, BTW the single will spend it's 29th in the top 100 and EOG will make a big climb aswell! Gaga fans are never happy to almost the same degree Britney's fans are easily satisfied.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 04:53 PM

Not negative, realistic.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:06 PM

Pessimistic more like. Nothing I mentioned in my post holds any positivity to you then?

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:07 PM

Not really, coming from Gaga, the album should still be Top 10, BTW should still be top 75 etc.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:12 PM

If gaga invented the cure for cancer and aids it wouldn't be enough for you. I'm not a blind sheep...I know she's taken some knocks lately but she's still very successfull in the UK and all over the world. 4.3m copies of BTW sold since may...over a million of The Fame sold this year. Dethrowning Avril as the new western queen of japan. 12m singles sold this year.

I do think it's interesting the way people are re-writing her previous era's as ones in which she's sold 100s of thousands of albums week after week...she never did...she always sold small consistent amounts week after week and she continued that with BTW. It's not her fault that sales are in the toilet and have been all summer. Beyonce's not sold much considering all those weeks in the top 10. If you want to see what a flop looks like try Love? or Aphrodite...millions spent on their launches and both have been a disaster sales wise.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:21 PM

@ bringing J-Lo and Kylie into this.
On The Floor has totally smashed charts WW, nobody excpected Jenny to do that. #1 in 28 countries
356,472,859 views on youtube for the OTF video
73,626,066 views for BTW
Love? has already outsold her last 2 albums anyway, so not really a flop.

You ain't the only one who can dish out fact and figures.

I'm not gonna defend Kylie as much because Aphrodtie was not handled well, but ATL is still her best selling single since CGYOOMH.
Album went platinum with only one hit single too.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 05:25 PM

I'm pretty sure we'd all be hailing Lady Gaga if she cured cancer... Anyway, there's no denying the singles have been disappointing (success wise, not quality) - they really should've all gone top 5, but midweek release didn't help. The album's done fine - judging by the low sales climate at the minute I'm a bit disappointed she's not doing better though.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:29 PM

Singles, smingles...album sales are the most important. Love that you failed to mention exact figures for Love? because they are so POOR though. Oh and Jlo will make hardly anything from Vevo for all those plays...because she didn't write the song. Gaga has shitloads of vevo views anyhow overall...what live performance from Jlo has as much as 11m views (gaga Grammys). Gaga's outsold Jlo's total singles sales by double in a few years.

Also Kylie "Album went platinum with one hit single". Ha! You must be so proud!! Disaster.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:33 PM

I don't have them because I am not some over-sensitive nutjob who thinks the sun shines out of Gaga's arse.

I am proud yes. Kylie doesn't need to wear pork chops over her tits to sell albums.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:33 PM

Yeah but NO ONE is doing well apart from Adele period...it annoys me that people focus all their negativity on gaga. No one says Beyonce's sales are low for so many weeks in the top 10, no one says Jessie J's sales are low for so many weeks in the 20 and so much hype...it's all on gaga. Always. Gaga this, gaga that. Gaga's an attention whore...Rihanna's the one changing her swimming cossie 3 times a day for the pap's while she's on holiday while gaga has heavy security around her and NEVER talks about her personal life. Gaga gets so much crap thrown at her and she DOES NOT deserve it.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:34 PM

No she needs a fricking miracle after 3 underperforming albums in a row. The public DO NOT CARE about Kylie. Her career is over. Many venues particularly in europe had to be downsized during the Aphrodite tour. Kylie's ship has sailed.

Posted by: CHЯIS 24th August 2011, 05:37 PM

@slimane12, you really need to chill out.

(I don't mean to add fuel to the fire, but can I just add, regardless of sales or youtube views and what-not, JLo may not have written 'On The Floor', but it PISSES all over every track on 'Born This Way', and thats coming from ME).

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:39 PM

When Gaga can say that she has had #1 albums in 4 consecutive decades, get back to me.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 05:39 PM

She doesn't have any crap thrown at her... She's one of the most successful artists in ages, commercially and critically, however some people don't love her like you do, in the same way you dislike Kylie and J-Lo, it's an opinion which people are allowed to show. I am also a Gaga loon, however I can except people not liking her in the same way I don't like Justin Bieber or Cee-Lo Green but I don't get attacked for that, and I don't attack people who like them for no reason just because they're not up Gaga's ass. Not everyone can love her, simple as.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:41 PM

It's number 1 albums in 4 different era's. If you are going to stan...do it right. Kylie fans are the new Janet fans...obsessed with past glories. Also gaga's concentrating on outselling Kylie's total record sales in the new few months...Gaga will be heading towards 100m album and singles next year.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 05:43 PM

Gaga's only on 64 million, I very much doubt she'll sell 36 million copies of Born This Way (album), You & I and subsequent singles altogether in just a year...

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:43 PM

I disagree. She gets more bad press than Rihanna and Katy combined. People are constantly trying to bring her down because she is the biggest and powerfull star. I'm gutted...I cannot believe you are a gaga fan and you are turning on me the way you are. I feel stabbed in the back.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:44 PM

She has Kylie and Enjoy yourself in the 80's, Greatest Hits in the 90's, Fever in the 00's and Aphrodite in 10's. That 4 consecutive decades.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:45 PM

No she's not she's on 64 million singles + around 20m albums = 84m records. When people use the expression "record" sales...they are referring to album and single sales. When people say Madonna has sold 300m records...thats albums and singles.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 05:46 PM

Hardly stabbing you in the back, because for that I have to friendly to your face and then badmouth - I'm not doing that. It's obsessive stans like you who give anyone who likes Gaga a bad reputation.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:52 PM

I'm offended by the fact you saw it fit to mention the fact Kylie had cancer and use it as some sort of insult to X 'only selling 500k'
That was disgusting.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 24th August 2011, 05:53 PM

Nothing worse than blind, relentless stanning. How is comparing Jennifer Lopez etc remotely relevant? Tragic.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:54 PM

It's a fair comment. You'd think she'd sell more considering what she'd been through. Cheryl sold more off the back of her relationship troubles.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 05:55 PM

I'm right about 99% of things in life and I value my opinion above everyone elses. I always have and always will. I was like that way before gaga came along.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 05:56 PM

I'm not fickle, Born This Way and The Fame Monster are both in my top 3 albums of all time, I can just handle criticism to her. She can take it too, she doesn't attack people for not liking her. Bottom line is, there's no need to attack everyone who doesn't like her as much as you do, Regina doesn't even hate her, he's more of a casual fan. Besides has he been as low as you, by bringing Kylie's cancer into it? No, because he's one of the nicest people on here, he can handle criticism towards Kylie, J-Lo and anyone else he likes without attacking them.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 05:57 PM

No it f***ing isn't. People were thankful that she making and selling records full stop.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 06:02 PM

She should have been aiming to be BIGGER than she was during Fever. You should always work 12 hour days, do your best and aim for number 1 whatever profession you are in. She f***ed up it though...with bad A&R and Willy heinous styling.

Posted by: Regina 24th August 2011, 06:06 PM

You honestly think she would be able to work 12 hour days having just beaten cancer? Kylie wanted to be back and making music, she did that and we, her fans, were happy
to see it.
Kylie has been making music for nearly 25 years, she has proved her critics wrong by still getting Top 3 hits and #1 albums. She makes music because
she wants to and its what she enjoys. She isn't totally focused on getting #1's.

It should start climbing now that its been playlisted. I think top 10 is asking too much but Top 20 should be achieveable.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 06:10 PM

It's number 65(ish) combined, with the other version at 100something! Certain to climb too, what with the Radio 1 and 2 C-Listing.

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 06:11 PM

Top 10 defo. I'd put money on it.

Posted by: Klumzee 24th August 2011, 06:25 PM

Missed it.

But anyway, I'm glad You & I has been playlisted by Radio 1 and 2. I had a feeling it might've been snubbed by Radio 1, as it's slightly country sounding, but now it has hopefully it can go top 20

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2011, 06:33 PM

I was worried it would peak at 22 or something, but with the radio support I think top 20 is a cert, I wouldn't rule out top 10 tbh. It's not even that country sounding - it does sound kind of like something Shania Twain would release in 1998 (that's a compliment btw, I love You & I) but it's more just pop with a slightly rock and roll twist to me. Though maybe I just listen to too much 'proper' country (Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride etc.) to hear it

Posted by: slimane12 24th August 2011, 06:40 PM

It's a good time to release a song like this. These kind of songs stand out in a chart dominated by dance pop.

Posted by: Klumzee 24th August 2011, 06:42 PM

The general public would probably class it as 'country-sounding' and I was worried Radio 1 would snub it because country is generally disliked and considered 'not cool' in the UK. And Radio 1 would never want to playlist anything that 'isn't cool'

I can't feel positive about this being a single, despite the video being decent. Overtakes 'Telephone' as her worst (well, I mean most average) single for me. There was plenty on this album that is both more interesting and completely different to her usual.

Well she's definitely in a good position in to go top 10 in the US, #13 on itunes and the VMA's are right around the corner and obviously she's got something over the top planned so it could very well do a Paparazzi effect and end up pretty high on itunes after the performance and possibly go top 10 on the hot 100 in the next week or so.

Capital seem to be skipping the 2nd verse and chorus of their songs now! Like when Rolling In The Deep was on today, it went: Verse, Chorus, Middle 8, Final Chorus. It was only about 3 minutes long! I'm not looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with You & I

Posted by: CHЯIS 25th August 2011, 03:53 PM

The station I heard it on before went: Verse, Chorus, 6 WHOLE YEARS, Final Chorus.

Posted by: Liаm 25th August 2011, 03:55 PM

Heart did that sometimes with Someone Like You, they'd cut the second verse I mean yes, it's over 4 minutes but it ruins the song, surely they don't think their listeners have such a crap attention span? They'll butcher You & I, as will Capital actually - I've noticed them cutting songs about as well

Posted by: Klumzee 25th August 2011, 03:55 PM

That's just over 2 minutes? Which radio station was this?

Posted by: CHЯIS 25th August 2011, 04:01 PM

It ended up being around 3-4 minutes because they then started doing weird stuff with the final chorus, mixing it up a bit in a strange order. Just a local station, nothing big. A good minute was chopped.

Posted by: Klumzee 25th August 2011, 04:06 PM

Hopefully the big radio stations play as much of it as possible! I think most radio stations played the full version of The Edge Of Glory, so there is SOME hope.

Posted by: Regina 25th August 2011, 04:06 PM

Could they not just play that remix Chris posted? It sounds pretty similar to the album version and is cropped down really well.

Posted by: CHЯIS 25th August 2011, 04:21 PM

I'd love them to play that remix, I can't stop listening to it. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dance music channels (MTV Dance, Clubland, DanceNation) use that remix as their main version, its what they usually do with slower tempo tracks (Adele 'Rolling In The Deep' for example).

Some editing are not that bad but some like California is just rubbish... it ruins the song for me.

Posted by: YÜYI 27th August 2011, 09:21 AM

Will they all be released?


ALSO what happened to the US airplay thread...??

Posted by: CHЯIS 27th August 2011, 12:00 PM

Well don't listen to them then.


Just post the 'You And I' airplay info in here.

Posted by: Klumzee 27th August 2011, 12:04 PM

I love going through all of them and listening to them The Philadelphia one is probably the worst one I've come across so far.

UK is slow at picking up You & I....

Posted by: CHЯIS 29th August 2011, 12:06 AM

No, the whole of Europe is slow(ish) at picking it up, not just the UK.

'Yoü And I' is a at #70 on the Official UK Chart this week.

Posted by: lindalinh 29th August 2011, 08:16 AM

i do not really like this single.

Posted by: heartraterapid 29th August 2011, 03:31 PM

Does nobody else get a strong theme of domestic violence/control coming across in the video? The mermaid scene suggests to me a mermaid stuck in a tin bath reliant on her human man to keep her wet and alive. Likewise when she's that machine woman trying to break out, she has the man controlling her and powering her etc.

Posted by: Oricon 29th August 2011, 05:20 PM

I get a feeling that it's about how the man is controlling her too much in the relationship, bringing in domestic violence as one of the reason.

Up to B-List this week on Radio 1!

Posted by: CHЯIS 31st August 2011, 09:30 PM

GREAT. It needs all the support it can get atm. Still #63 on UK iTunes.

Posted by: cookie_monster 1st September 2011, 10:53 AM

It's getting strong video play and alright radio play and it's still at #64.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 1st September 2011, 12:10 PM

I can't imagine this going top 20... I'm sure the next single will struggle (until the inevitable X Factor performance).

Posted by: Oricon 1st September 2011, 01:45 PM

I even said this song would fail to reach top 20 but probably only reach top 30.....

Why doesn't the UK like country music? And yet we get praised for having a large diversity on our music industry and we don't do country music at all....

Posted by: Propilot87 1st September 2011, 02:13 PM

#16 On the hot 100 this week.

Posted by: Liаm 1st September 2011, 02:54 PM

I can't even comprehend why, it's so sad because country is probably my favourite genre next to pop yet as far as we get on board is the odd minor album hit and maybe once a blue moon a miraculous single (Need You Now, Love Story) that does well. And my favourite singer of all time (Carrie Underwood) has only had one album chart here, at 93 (without support). I mean I don't see why, pure country I can kind of understand having a hard time (though they often do OK in albums) but I really think country-pop like Carrie Underwood could have a chance, given support. I think that's it, support. Although You & I's getting support and is still struggling, though it may just not be appealing to some of her fans, Carrie would have a target audience and I'm sure she could easily have a Love Story sized hit given half a chance Or is my looning clouding my judgment?

Posted by: Oricon 1st September 2011, 04:28 PM

I'm pretty sure you're right, Love Story was a one off though, ever since then I havn't even seen a country song going top 10. AND ON TOP OF THAT, that was when Love Story was edited so the Banjos and all country instruments being removed by adding guitar making it sound more "pop"....

Posted by: Liаm 1st September 2011, 04:47 PM

I guess so, she did the same with her whole album with both Fearless and Speak Now. Shania Twain in 2005 with Party For Two was the last country song I remember top 10 (discluded Love Story with it's pop remix). Carrie Underwood could easily have done it with Before He Cheats, Last Name, Cowboy Cassanova, Quitter or Undo it - it's too late now as BHC is 5 years old, LN 4 years old and CC, Quitter and Undo It 2 years old. Hopefully she can do a T-Swift next album.

As for Gaga, it doesn't look good as the country stigma still exists. Tbh she was mad to go with Marry The Night, Hair or Americano as the European single with Y&I for America/Oceania.

@ladygaga

I was not expecting this!

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 1st September 2011, 08:36 PM

Nor was I Really excited now! This could help the song sooooooo much imo!!

Posted by: Oricon 1st September 2011, 08:38 PM

OMG MORE YOU & I VIDEOS, WOOOOOOOO!!!

Posted by: Aidan 1st September 2011, 09:32 PM

Posted by: Oricon 1st September 2011, 10:21 PM

Omg..... she's getting more and more normal day by day

Was expecting more of 5 different music videos but this will do, she's pretty in it too

Posted by: CHЯIS 1st September 2011, 10:25 PM

Nice. Don't know what else to say.

What's the purpose of them?

Posted by: JakeWild 2nd September 2011, 09:35 AM

That video >>>>> The official one

It makes the song resonate with me so much more and it make's me realise just how awful the original is with all those unnecessary theatrics. Especially when the difference in cost would have been absolutely huge for each video when for me personally this one does a much better job of selling the song.

Posted by: dannjohn3 2nd September 2011, 10:07 AM

It's the 5 different characters in "You & I". All short.

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 2nd September 2011, 08:52 PM

^^ Ohhhh, so we'll have one of Jo, the mermaid, the one with black hair & who? And is Nymph that characters name ?

Posted by: YÜYI 2nd September 2011, 09:35 PM

The Bride Gaga?

Posted by: Rain 3rd September 2011, 12:56 PM

Yawn. Can we move onto the next single please?

Posted by: YÜYI 3rd September 2011, 06:40 PM

It is still climbing

Posted by: CHЯIS 4th September 2011, 06:31 PM

#55 officially in the UK this week. Don't know how much higher it'll go...

Posted by: Regina 4th September 2011, 07:14 PM

It might crack the Top 40, but its gonna fall massively.

Posted by: Oricon 4th September 2011, 09:39 PM

I hate the UK sometimes...

Posted by: C H A R L I E ? 4th September 2011, 09:44 PM

To me that video plays like an extended perfume advert. I far prefer the original, it's both wacky enough to satisfy most of her fans while being more personal than the other three videos from this era AND fitting the song well.

Posted by: Oricon 5th September 2011, 01:27 AM

When's the next one coming out? I thought she said she'd release 5 of them?

Posted by: Tyler 5th September 2011, 05:24 AM

LOL YA'LL SHOULD HEAR THE GEORGIA EDIT. I laughed in my car for like twenty minutes. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 5th September 2011, 06:22 AM

We buy a lot of shite but even this would be pushing it.

Posted by: YÜYI 5th September 2011, 09:20 AM

If she released all the other versions of You and I next week with around 50+million AirPlay I think she would easy go #1 in the US

Posted by: Tyler 5th September 2011, 04:03 PM

I don't understand why so many people on here dislike it. I think it is a really solid mid tempo song. It's very anthemic.

I think the complexity the video brings a whole new dimension to the song as well. But each to their own and all that.

Posted by: Oricon 5th September 2011, 11:45 PM

That's just desperate if she does release all the versions on iTunes, even worse than The Saturdays with Missing You

Posted by: CHЯIS 7th September 2011, 05:52 PM

FINALLY Top 40 on UK iTunes!

#40.

Posted by: Liаm 7th September 2011, 06:24 PM

38 now! Climbing (relatively) fast!

Posted by: Oricon 7th September 2011, 07:13 PM

What caused the sudden surge...?

Posted by: MANIAC 7th September 2011, 08:00 PM

#6 on US Billboard!

Posted by: Oricon 8th September 2011, 12:28 AM

Top 5 next week?

Posted by: Rob Summers 8th September 2011, 02:17 AM

Down to 39 currently. Thats because everyones asleep and I'm not

Posted by: cookie_monster 9th September 2011, 01:02 PM

This has finally clicked with me, though I still don't think it was a wise single choice after TEoG.

Posted by: dannjohn3 9th September 2011, 01:44 PM

I think it should have been single #3!

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 9th September 2011, 03:31 PM

Calm down.

Posted by: dannjohn3 9th September 2011, 03:46 PM

I'm not feeling particularly erratic?

Posted by: CHЯIS 10th September 2011, 02:03 PM

to #34 on UK iTunes. Slowly but steadily getting higher. Hopefully it'll be officially top 40 come next Sunday.

The Jonathan Ross Show appearance should help it out, it could potentially get top 20 now, and if there's an XFactor performance, top 10.

Posted by: Jáhq 10th September 2011, 04:21 PM

Getting bored of this now. It'll get a boost, but I am now of the opinion that I don't want a performance wasted on this song over some of the others. She'll do it on Jonathan Ross but I'm hoping she'll perform near the very end of the XF live shows and perform single #5 instead.

Posted by: JakeWild 10th September 2011, 05:47 PM

Aye I'm really hoping she doesn't waste an X Factor slot on this song. Still holding out hope that single #5 is Scheiße and she performs that.

Posted by: Oricon 10th September 2011, 11:34 PM

Get rid of this song, NOW

Posted by: aprilj 11th September 2011, 04:07 PM

to 37 on UK iTunes!!
