Posted August 10, 20222 yr Over the next few weeks, we will be pitting each album's opening track with its closing tracks. Some of them will be very obvious from the start but others seem to be a lot more hotly debated. Simply vote for your favourite in each poll and comment your thoughts! This time it's ARTPOP which kick starts with: V6qXX82I-Hs and ends with: pco91kroVgQ Which is your favourite? 1. The Fame 2. The Fame Monster 3. Born This Way
August 10, 20222 yr Author In terms of album closing, Applause does not work for me. Gypsy is the perfect album closer for this album as it's sonically different, totally euphoric and as it ends it makes you imagine her touring the album around the world. It would've made a sublime closer like it did for the tour!
August 11, 20222 yr Both are so strong but I have to go with Applause, such a gem in her discography!
August 12, 20222 yr I've gone for Applause because I prefer it as a song, but I agree Aura does a better job as an opener than Applause does as a closer - it feels more like it should be in the first few tracks than right at the end.
August 13, 20222 yr Author This has been super close throughout! Not going the way I'd want right now, but how exciting :o (especially compared to Bad Romance vs Teeth )
August 13, 20222 yr Voted for 'Aura' which is one of the most exciting moments on the album for me, a great introduction *.*
August 13, 20222 yr Aura, but neither is exqctly a commercial hit! Aura might have done better though. Did they force her to rrname it from Burka?
August 17, 20222 yr I already voted for 'Aura' but forgot to post. Neither are exactly highlights of her discography but at least 'Aura' is vaguely interesting.
