QUOTE
MONSTER FACT: we love watching you freak out about what the next single is. @DJWS ask this guy.


First single produced by DJ White Shadow (again) then? He produced; Born This Way, Government Hooker, Americano, Bloody Mary, Bad Kids, Black Jesus † Amen Fashion, Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) and Electric Chapel on the previous album, none of which (bar Born This Way, Government Hooker, Bloody Mary) are even close to her best.

Any thoughts on the possible DJWS production? Would anyone prefer a Fernando Garibay (Dance In The Dark, Alejandro, Heavy Metal Lover, Marry The Night), or a RedOne banger?

I hope she uses a variety of different producers on the next album instead of re-using the same three. Having said that there better be a couple of RedOne (Scheiße, Bad Romance) anthems on there, and I'd quite like another Darkchild track.

Posted by: Jáhq 21st July 2012, 09:42 PM

Fernando seems to be the most consistant from looking at those tracks. DJ White Shadow has produced some amazing tracks (looking at you Born This Way, Bad Kids & Bloody Mary) but there are some real stinkers there too.

Really excited whatever though, hope we get some more news soon.

Posted by: Oricon 22nd July 2012, 02:03 AM

I want a RedOne lead single tbh...and this better not be one of the dark tracks as I'm not here for that. I want a bright and mood lifting lead single rather than the likes of Born This Way.

Posted by: Liаm 22nd July 2012, 08:36 AM

Nice to see her trying something different and not a RedOne banging lead, oh well it's Gaga I'm sure it'll be amazing!

Posted by: Silver Rocket 22nd July 2012, 07:30 PM

So we'll actually get this before the end of the year? Colour me surprised. I'm looking forward to it lots though!

Posted by: StephenT 22nd July 2012, 08:51 PM

As much as i adore her,i think its too soon. Born This Way is only just over a year old.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 24th July 2012, 05:14 PM

Apparently this is coming in August this year!!

It's been confirmed that we'll be getting the first single before the end of 2012, and the album in early 2013. biggrin.gif

I hope it can be released before i see her at the BTWBall so she can perform it for me kink.gif

PARTYNAUSEOUS ft Kendrick Lamar will be released September 6th!

Sounds fun and crazy. Fame Gaga making a return?

Edit: It's for his album not the lead single from ARTPOP.

Posted by: Liаm 15th August 2012, 04:09 PM

It's actually her featuring on his album though isn't it?

Either way... NEW GAGA MUSIC!!! w00t.gif

Posted by: Silver Rocket 15th August 2012, 10:40 PM

I think she is sort of realising that people want the less dark and moody side of her, that must be why she's going for a more 'natural' look lately...

RATCHET PLEASE.

I want the song with Lana Del Rey now please. And the Azealia Banks one.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 26th November 2012, 11:12 AM

Woah Azealia AND Lana both on the album potentially? Might be the first GaGa album I buy.

On another note, I need another 'Judas' from GaGa. It's her best song so far.

Posted by: Slowpoke 26th November 2012, 06:52 PM

I too am intrigued by the mention of lovely Lana!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 26th November 2012, 07:19 PM

I would freak out at a Lana collab. My two favourite artists right now on one glorious track!! (Doubt it's happening though).

Nothing. I had a vivid dream which featured her and she was singing a really, really good song with those lyrics. I know it's not relevant lol

Posted by: HausofBal-loons 2nd January 2013, 05:38 PM

Beyonce has posted a photo on Instagram with a "Ratchet" earing, very similar to one Gaga posted earlier. It could just be a coincidence...





I think i'm ready to die if this is true (the bitches better not just be teasing).


Posted by: Liаm 2nd January 2013, 05:47 PM

Omg imagine if it was Beyonce, Azealia AND Gaga?!?! w00t.gif Apparently Rihanna tweeted something about ratchet as well, the 4 of them would surely not happen? ohmy.gif

Posted by: HausofBal-loons 2nd January 2013, 05:53 PM

The rumour mill is working overdrive on all the Gaga fansites:

DJWS tweeted about Ratchet in June
Rihanna tweeted Paparazzi lyrics with #Ratchets in July
Azaelia confirmed she worked on Ratchet in
Gaga tweets Rihanna for the first time
Rihanna tweets Ruleth to Gaga
DJWS plays remixed instrumentals of Ratchet
Gaga confirms that the Telephone follow-up will be on ARTPOP
Gaga and Rihanna were at the same club with Jay and Chris Martin in London in September
Gaga posts a picture with earrings that say Ratchet
Gaga plays a solo version of Ratchet to fans and says she's looking for a female vocalist
Steven Klein tweets Rihanna and discusses a project they are working on mentioning Gaga's FAME
Gaga tweets Klein the same day talking about working together, but someone else being involved too.
Beyonce posts a picture with earrings that say Ratchet.


FRAYKING OUT and don't know what (if anything) to believe! w00t.gif

I am not going to get my hopes up too much, but just imagine if 'Rathet' actually was Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce, Rihanna & Azealia Banks. It would literally be the best record OF ALL TIME.

SHE CAN WALK



That was a couple of days ago in New York, she's still using the wheelchair at times though.

She's taking time out for the next month and keeping a low profile, her Grandfather passed away at the weekend too, and she's still recovering from the surgery but her manager confirmed she'll be back with music around May, so not long! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Oricon 6th April 2013, 12:57 AM

Oh poor Gaga, she seems so MISERABLE in that photo. I know Gaga is really close with her grandfather but I hope she'll be able to regain focus quickly and move on from it and not let it affect her too deeply. sad.gif

Posted by: HausofDrips 1st May 2013, 07:18 PM

Yeah i'm quite glad we have an (albeit provisional) date. I don't mind the wait, as long as i know when i'm waiting until!

I really hope the album comes out before Christmas to get those sales boosted, but i'm not sure how likely that is right now.

Posted by: HausofDrips 4th May 2013, 12:25 PM

Auditions have apparently started for the first single's music video. Rumours are saying that Steven Klein (who also did Alejandro), will be directing it.

There is simply not a CHANCE she will release a ballad first - in fact, I wonder if this album will even have a ballad.

If she's revealing it at a Beyonce concert, what's the bets the first single will be Rachet? Might be why Beyonce's holding back on releasing new songs, she's waiting to come back with GaGa.

The Sun are reporting that Gaga's first comeback performance will be at the iTunes Festival in the UK in September meaning we should be getting the single before then.

Obviously we can't trust the source anywhere near 100%, but here's hoping they have it right this time...

Posted by: #Thermometer 13th July 2013, 02:05 PM

w00t.gif I'm so hyped for this comeback, can't believe it's finally happening after years of waiting!

Is it confirmed whether it's a solo track or if there's a featured artist? I'd be excited if the Azealia Banks collab rumours were actually true, but I don't think it'll happen.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 13th July 2013, 02:13 PM

Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but i'm actually hoping she ditches Banks especially for the lead single. She really needs to work on making the era run smoothly and something tells me that will be more difficult with Banks riding along too.

If she has ditched her, it could explain why we didn't hear anything for a while as she may have been reworking some of the songs.

Either way (i think) i'm ready.

Posted by: artpopchris 13th July 2013, 03:32 PM

I can't wait. People are suggesting the lead single is Burqa because of the mask from the promo picture. We'll just wait for the official announcement though.

Gaga has done 2 tracks with Azealia, Ratchet and Red Flame, I hope at least one makes the cut, although not as the lead single.

Posted by: Jack 14th July 2013, 12:08 AM

Crazy to think it has been five years since The Fame! I am excited, we haven't had any of the big female popstars doing well this year so far so hopefully she can change that and come back with something amazing too.

Oh and this made me laugh more than it should;


Posted by: ღKΛTH 15th July 2013, 05:29 PM

Whatever this sounds like it's most likely going to be as trend-setting as Just Dance/Poker Face and Bad Romance was. She's really re-thought a lot of things after all the Born This Way critique I'm sure.

And hopefully 600 other promo singles are NOT released at the same time like with the previous era drama.gif JUST 2 MAJOR SINGLES, no promo single confusion shat k

Lady Gaga was spotted in Los Angeles today filming at Paramount Pictures studios! It was requested that no photos would be taken. It also seems that Lady Gaga was wearing black and was in front of a New York City style building.

Lady Gaga has reportedly started shooting her first music video for the upcoming lead single on ARTPOP on Monday, according to fans who met the singer on July 15th. It was also reported that Lady Gaga requested 14 net bodysuits and was apparently working with Idra Alta Moda for the video shoot.

I think all Burqa snippets have been confirmed as fake, so i wouldn't be inclined to believe that just yet. I think it's also been semi-confirmed as NOT being the title of the lead single. Rumours are now pointing towards The Applause being the the lead single as she signed a message a fan on the the way to the video shoot which could suggest that.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 18th July 2013, 11:05 AM

I have to admit, I'm not overly enthused by this whole 'Burqa' idea so I wouldn't mind if it turns out to be fake.

Government Hooker is the worst thing Gaga has ever done. Bloody Mary is divine and Electric Chapel is also pretty decent.

Fans were panicking on Twitter when DJWS was announced as the producer behind her first single. He assured the monsters and said that it'll be BIG (and lets be honest, the record label would never release a non-mainstream single for this era after how last era went).

Posted by: Liаm 20th July 2013, 05:31 PM

Exactly. Panicking like this over the producer at stage is ridiculous, even I didn't love Government Hooker and Bloody Mary which he's produced I have faith that they wouldn't release a song like either of those as the lead single anyway.

Posted by: ღKΛTH 20th July 2013, 08:20 PM

Garibay and RedOne were a lot stronger on the last album than DJWS. I just have a hard time seeing DJWS go mainstream after his productions from the last era. Although Black Jesus does show some promise. Such a massive transition does not happen overnight, with an exception to your David Guettas and Calvin Harris'.

I was hoping she'd go with a new producer but it IS Gaga yaknow, not having faith in her is blasphemy etc.

I'm not sure how it started (maybe in the documentary they filmed together because apparently he kept asking probing questions that she didn't want to answer in front of the camera or something). But yeah, he's been tweeting snidey things about her for like a year now.

The withered old hag is no loss anyway and will probably be back to kissing up to her when this era kickstarts biggrin.gif

I've had the feeling for a while that she's going for the more 'natural' look this time, i.e. not caked in make up to the point of being unrecognisable and toning down the ridiculous outfits and trying to out-GaGa herself.

CUZ MY BODY BELONGS TO YOU WHEN I'M ON STAGE
NOW SCREAM MY NAME
KILL THE FLOOR

I can't help but stress that this is going to be a ballad. Looking at the music video director, and the promo images - you get the ballad sort of vibe. Like a DJWS 'Bloody Mary' sort of ballad, obviously a lot more toned-down to fit the era's theme.

Gaga would never reduce herself to Sande-lite bedtime lullabies thankfully. We need something trend-setting from her though, no I Knew Were Trouble/As Long As You Love Me-type sadness with a dubstep breakdown type ballad.

But since it's DJ White Shadow I'm not quite sure what to expect. drama.gif

Really liking that and guessing she's playing some deranged clown in the video then? Excited.

The new promo images are increadible too but obviously don't relate to applause or the single so this works. Could be my favourite since Bad Romance but then she never was brilliant with artwork post then anyway.

It's a little odd, although the lead single last time out had excellent artwork and the album's turned out to be a dud so I'm not worried. Far more important how it sounds anyway.

The Edge of Glory single cover is one of my favourites, as well as the Paparazzi and Judas covers.

Gaga said in the interview (on the site the Applause cover was released) that all of the single/album covers this era will be totally different, none will look the same or be from the same shoot. Also, the start of the music video will be Gaga at the end of a concert.

The cover has really grown on me now, I love it.

Nobody was comparing 'Bad Romance' to Madonna tho. The Madonna comparisons have obviously always been there "nu-Madonna" when she first burst onto the scene etc... but I think they got blown up at the time 'Born This Way' was released (and you can definitely see why). I get you used your post in a sarcastic sense, but it annoys me when GaGa fans think Madge fans are attacking her for her work prior to BTW, when it's not the case at all, is it? unsure.gif

Music: Lady Gaga: New Single Is 'Full of Happiness'

Lady Gaga performs in Las Vegas.

By RJ Cubarrubia
July 29, 2013 | 11:20am EDT




Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images for Clear Channel




Although details about Lady Gaga's upcoming new single are scarce, the singer has started dropping hints about the song, "Applause," which is due out on August 19th. "I'll tell you that it is very fun," Gaga told Women's Wear Daily. "And that it's full of happiness, because what I'm saying in the song essentially is that I live for the applause. I live for the way you cheer and scream for me. Give me that thing that I love. Put your hands up, make them touch."

The tune is from Gaga's forthcoming album ARTPOP, an project she's had plenty of time to focus on since a hip injury earlier this year forced her to cancel a chunk of her Born This Way Ball Tour. The singer used the setback as an opportunity to evaluate her new material with her Haus of Gaga crew. "I had six months to beef up my brain and my body," Gaga told. "I was given the time to really be creative because it's a gazing process, it really is. I have to gaze into the work for long periods of time for it to be good. I have that feeling, that wonderful feeling, when me, Inez [Van Lamsweerde]and Brandon [Maxwell] look at each other and we go, 'It's so good. That's the one.'"

The New Immortals: Lady Gaga**

The hip injury – which forced Gaga to cancel 22 shows – was more severe than she previously admitted. "My injury was actually a lot worse than just a labral tear," Gaga said. "I had broken my hip. Nobody knew, and I haven't even told the fans yet. But when we got all the MRIs finished before I went to surgery there were giant craters, a hole in my hip the size of a quarter, and the cartilage was just hanging out the other side of my hip."

She continued, "I had a tear on the inside of my joint and a huge breakage. The surgeon told me that if I had done another show I might have needed a full hip replacement. I would have been out at least a year, maybe longer."

Gaga, who worked with DJ White Shadow on "Applause," also talked about a handful of other collaborations, including one with Robert Wilson for her upcoming gig headlining the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th. She also discussed working with the performance artist Marina Abramovic and the painter and sculptor Jeff Koons. "[I'm not] defined by the same designer or defined by the same hair cut or defined by the same icon. The statement is that I'm not one icon. I'm every icon," Gaga said. "I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions."

ARTPOP is set for a November 11th release.

Posted by: Lukuzz 29th July 2013, 05:14 PM

The artwork isn't so much BAD as... at odds with what she should be aiming to achieve with this campaign. The other promo images were so natural, and really portrayed a woman who knew what she was doing with great pop (the one where she sits on the electronic equipment in particular was marvellous, symbolising her working with the production and so on while still showing off how pretty she can be). The marketing looked 100% on point. But this is completely different and the public are just going to see Lady Pretentious 2.0 here. Seems like "one step forward, two steps back".

How's it PRETENCIOUS? It's pure art and smart creativity, the album's name is ARTPOP after all. Pretentious would be her standing next to a painting with a paint brush or her clapping hands for example (Applause). Were yall expecting Gaga to be PLAIN or a Leona Lewis like single cover of her just THERE? drama.gif She's a pop star, not Miss Congeniality, pop stars reinvent themselves for those who have forgotten.

Posted by: Conderella 29th July 2013, 08:48 PM

Just because she's a massive pop star doesn't make her pretentious to step away from a generic OH LOOK I'M IN SHADES STANDING WITH HOT GUYS IN THE BACKGROUND!!1 type of cover for one era. A bit stupid to call anything that isn't cheap and easy pretentious because you may not necessarily understand what's behind the image and stuff. I may not understand the message but I definitely appreciate the art. It's different Gagz and I love it.

Most accurate post of the thread.

She really should have stuck with the original promo snaps, especially for the first single. Lady Pretentious can't make a comeback - that has to stay with Born this Way and be a blip in her career.

I don't see how it's pretentious given it's her in a performance outfit with a song about applause ie. what you'd expext (but with an arty twist of course). I guess that word has become synonymous with her now though for some people so whatever she does it'll get that label.

Oddly this is one of the only times post The Fame Monster where I think she ISN'T being pretentious. I don't particularly LIKE the imagery she's going for, but at least there seems to be something behind it.

Oh and I am cautiously optimistic for the single. I hope she's ready to bring just a good old fashioned corker of a song this time. I don't mind if the video/single cover/''message'' is hyped up to the max if the song is good.

From NY Daily News:

QUOTE
Lady Gaga unveils mime-inspired art for 'Applause' single

Get ready for a lot of Gaga.

The singer, 27, is preparing to release "ARTPOP," her first new album since 2011's "Born This Way," and she's drumming up anticipation for fresh music.

On Monday, the pop star tweeted the artwork for the debut single, "Applause," featuring Gaga with a face covered in white paint and smeared with colorful makeup in the style of a French pantomime artist or pierrot.

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadlin, who shot the art for "Applause," also directed the yet-to-be-unveiled music video for the song.

Gaga explained the origin of the art and the song in her trademark quixotic style.

"It's the end of the night after the show," Gaga told Women's Wear Daily. "When I look at it I see that there is a longing for the applause. I see that there is a void that is leaking onstage, that the performer is leaking, that the art is sort of becoming something else in front of your eyes. Something more human, more honest."

"The statement is that I'm not one icon," Gaga told the magazine about "ARTPOP." "I'm every icon. I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions."

The image is the second one that Gaga has posted in the last week. The first one featured her sitting nude in a chair that looked constructed out of circuitboards.

"Applause" will debut on August 19. Gaga is also set to highlight the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25.

And isn't a bit on-purpose from Katy's label to release all of a sudden now that Gaga's releasing. Or am I being delusional? It's a little TOO coincidental for my liking!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2013, 05:25 PM

I'm unsure if both (or either) will debut at #1, with streaming counting as well now. It's possible though if Applause has Born This Way type sales I guess. Same goes for Roar if it matches Part Of Me.

In the UK, it's actually possible though. I'm sorry bu it's ridiculous to suggest Katy decided to release on the 12th just because of Gaga, simply because Applause was announced first.

WOO for the fun side of Gaga finally returning.

Someone on Popjustice just mentioned that during the day when Katy announced news of her comeback to the scene with "Roar", Gaga tweeted Applause once again and some are assuming either her or her record label is worried that she might overshadow her. Oh well, this competition is healthy though and I sincerely hope the media doesn't create a big thing out of it.

My bones hurt from all the shows

But I don’t feel the pain ‘cause I’m a pro

I sink in then I’m OK ‘cause

My body belongs to you when I’m on stage



If only Fame came in IV form

Baby could I bare, being away from you?

I found the Vein, put it here

Baby, reclaim your fame…



I ate his heart
 then
I swallowed his brain

If you don’t love me back

I will do it again



I’m ready start the music

Scream for me

Say my name

I can’t live without the fame



I live for the way that

You cheer and scream for me

One second I’m the Kunts,

then suddenly the Kunts is me!


Art was in pop now Art’s in Pop culture, in me


I live for the applause

I live for the applause



Under the spotlight I feel alive

Clap for me not let me die.

I won’t die but, 
I can’t live without you.



I stand here waiting

For you to bang the gong

To crash the critic and saying

Is it right or is it wrong?


Put your hands up, make em touch! 
Make it real now!
Give me that thing that I love

turn the lights on!

I live for the applause

I live for the applause

REALLY HARD to judge from probably the poorest quality clip EVER but the chorus sounds like such a WINNER. It's like PURE PURE POP, the verse (?) after the chorus sounds quite rough though almost dubsteppy, similar to the wild verses of 'Judas'.

I haven't been so ready for anything EVER. bounce.gif

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th August 2013, 12:25 PM

First review has surfaced from @MartianTV (ambiguous source but seems legit):

QUOTE
Lady Gaga’s Gamey Sounding New Single "Applause"

It’s hard to follow up a power anthem like Katy Perry’s new single “Roar.” Luckily, Lady Gaga has some wickedly theatrical vocals and a dream production team behind her.

“Applause” is not quite the followup you’d expect after the massive success of her previous first singles, “Bad Romance” and “Born This Way.” This song is actually rather mute in comparison. Still, this song says a lot about what could be coming from ARTPOP. This song is far more experimental, lyrically and instrumentally, than anything else on the radio. It almost sounds like a song you’d hear from Roisin Murphy or Kelis, but would never gain the popularity it deserves. Of course, since it’s Gaga that won’t be a problem.

Back to Gaga’s theatrical vocals, the verses are rather beautiful. Instead of typical polished pop princess vocals, Gaga kicks up the dramatics and delivers in a way you’d expect an actor to during a musical. At first it was kind of unnerving, but the way her voice wobbles as she sings “I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong,” grew to be one of my favorite parts of the song. She mimics this during the second verse also. Of course, the dramatic wobble effect isn’t nearly as much as Gaga shouting, “Put your hands up, make em touch! Make it real now!” or “Give me that thing that I love, turn the lights on!”

Musically, the song actually has a rather retro feel. If I could relate it to anything, it’d be an old school Nintendo or Sega Genesis game, but sprinkled with today’s production tricks. The clubs will eat this song alive. The way the beat robotically thuds under her vocals the earworm that will get this song stuck in your brain.

Radio? That’s a tricky one. Radio will either embrace is, or drop it as soon as the radio deal fizzles like Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Lovin.”

PS: She mentions something about being a coonce (sp?). I don’t know what that is, so if someone could let me know… it’ll help me better make sense of the verse, “One second I’m the coonce then suddenly the coonce is me.”

The radio support bit EEK.

If Gaga releases this single then she's going to mess all this schedule up.

Had everything kept to schedule with the music video premiering on the day the song releases and gathering some radio deal, it seems like a guaranteed #1 but if she rushes it, a Bad Romance situation may occur in the US..

THIS! Very much.

Posted by: Regina 12th August 2013, 04:41 PM

Not all that keen on it. There are alot of times in it when i have no idea what she is harping on about and it seems a bit disjointed.

THIS IS f***ING AMAZING! Listening to this while crossing security checks at London Heathrow airport <3

Posted by: Jack 12th August 2013, 04:41 PM

Well it is better than Born This Way by some considerable distance, not HUGE on the verses but that chorus is really amazing (although her dialect is fairly poor, no idea what she is singing?!).

WHAT A MESS

Her diction is abysmal, I could make out about 3 words in the chorus. I do rather like the verses though, melodically at least. Lyrically it's as awful as ever.

Posted by: P∆VEL 12th August 2013, 04:43 PM

Her voice is a bit WEIRD in this, isn't it?

Posted by: Calum Sandé 12th August 2013, 04:43 PM

Not a fan of this at all on first listen. Would also help if I could actually understand what she's singing in the chorus, too.

I JUST SAW IT ON FACEBOOK, I THOUGHT I WAS THE FIRST OF US TO KNOW!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th August 2013, 04:44 PM

I'm hoping it's the quality of that stream but yeah can't FULLY understand what she's saying.

Positively generic though and can hopefully be BIG <3

Posted by: H.J 12th August 2013, 04:44 PM

I love it, the chorus is definitely the best bit about the song imo. It's not as overproduced as Born This Way which is good!!

Posted by: Jack 12th August 2013, 04:44 PM

Yeah the chorus would be MUCH better if I could actually understand what the f*** she is singing (all I can make out is PUT YOUR HANDS UP, MAKE EM TOUCH).

Generic, too, no pretentiousness, helping her to fight that label eh!

More instant than Burqa, but perhaps Burqa is the better song.

But this is an awful way to start the campaign, ridiculous. She didn't need to worry about hackers and should have had it on another computer.

Generic, big battle between hers and Katy Perry's generic sounds, and as they're not pushing out the boat with experimentation, should be massive sales eh!

Posted by: Cal 12th August 2013, 04:52 PM

YES especially in the final chorus.

It's not as BIG as i wanted but the more i listen the more i think it can do very well with radio support. The right amount of generic with a gaga touch.

I am very much liking it on first listen, love how 80s it is! More generic than I expected though, and I want to be looning for new Gaga! I played Born This Way and Judas over and over for like 2 or 3 hours, but I think Roar wins this for me (not that they should be compared!) ohmy.gif

Posted by: HausofKubrick 12th August 2013, 05:13 PM

I feel like she REALLY needed something to appeal to non fans and this is just that.

Just played on UK radio should be up on iTunes soon.

Posted by: Aled. 12th August 2013, 05:14 PM

It's decent. She's had better (Poker Face, Bad Romance), but she's had much worse as well (BORN THIS WAY). My only real issue is the same one that I've always had with her - the fact that she over promises and under delivers. She made it seem ground breaking from her tweets, when it's just a perfectly alright, but rather generic song.

Roar is better, if that comparison really has to be made.

I was going to avoid it for as long as possible until the hype died down, but I gave in and listened because I was quite curious anyway. It's actually really good (better than Roar if we have to be doing that), and I'm far from being a Gaga fan. Good work.

Already better than most things on Born This Way.

On first listen I'm not sold to "Applause", it's a bit too messy and I think it clearly lacks a melody.
This will eventually grow on me but this is no "Bad romance" or pretty much everything on "Born this way".

Posted by: Silver Rocket 12th August 2013, 05:30 PM

I like the 80s feel and it is a better first single than 'Born This Way' but I don't know, for me the chorus is a bit limp. I don't know why everyone thinks it's so good, maybe it'll sound better in HQ.

Posted by: Liаm 12th August 2013, 05:37 PM

I think is probably the right move for her sales wise and to get big support from radio again, I hope the rest of the album isn't like it at all but I can totally see why she's chosen something like this for the first single.

I thought this, Born This Way is still quite divisive of course and this seems to be the same! I do hope she picks the singles better this time, I loved all of them last era but Judas and You & I should not have been released, and Marry The Night would've been a much better lead.

It would have been foolish to release anything but a safe generic club banger in all honesty. Seems the team could be playing it right with this especially if there's album tracks like Aura/Burqa lurking in there as well.

Posted by: Rob Summers 12th August 2013, 06:06 PM

OMG at those verses wub.gif and that build up to the chorus is fab as well but the chorus is a little bit downish for me. Having to be very honest as I wanted to like everything.

Hopefully in time the chorus will grow on me however it's much better than Born this way by a clear mile biggrin.gif

Posted by: THEO. 12th August 2013, 06:07 PM

It's okay but the 'applause' chant is irritating. The rest of the chorus/verses are good though, and it's a whole lot more fun that anything she's put out since "Just Dance", so I'm glad about that.

What Theo's saying is true. And FUN Gaga is what resulted in her two biggest hits, I think everyone was expecting something along the lines of the critic and fan fave that is Bad Romance, but instead we've gotten this Fame-like BANGER.

Gaga's bringing synthpop back BIG TIME.

Lyrics

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read

One second I'm a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P
