Posted November 11, 201311 yr http://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/artpop-lady-gaga-e1382425862107.jpg You've heard it all now and know she's currently planning the next monstrous cock-up, so how do you want to see the era going in terms of single releases?? Not just about picking your favourites, but what would work for the era commercially? And what can she simply NOT touch.
November 11, 201311 yr Author Best case scenario for me (if she even gets past single #4) is: Applause > Do What U Want > Gypsy > Sexxx Dreams > (Artpop?) > G.U.Y. > Whatever she wants (Aura?)~ I would want 'Sexxx Dreams' ASAP to stop it becoming the album's 'Dance in the Dark'/'Scheiße' but i don't think it would work as the immediate follow up to 'Do What U Want'. Plus the universal acclaim for 'Gypsy' can't be ignored (and the fact that it needs to be this era's 'Edge of Glory'). 'G.U.Y.' HAS to be released, but again following it on from Sexxx Dreams is too much filth for the public to handle and the only other viable single choice is the title track to go between them. I'd LOVE 'Donatella' to see the light of day but it really wouldn't work as a single. 'Aura' could work pretty much anywhere too, but i think it should remain a strong album track instead (or the final single?) Venus/Fashion!/Swine/Jewels&Drugs to remain locked away on the album forever!!
November 12, 201311 yr honestly think G.U.Y. has to be the next single, tho i am a bit biased against Gypsy. so g.u.y > gypsy > sex dreams > jewels n drugs for a lol final single? nothing else is even worth TRYING. she already had her first 2 strikes with the Venus cock up (almost my fav on the album BUT awful single choice for joe public)
November 12, 201311 yr 'Sexxx Dreams' and then 'Gypsy'. I honestly can't see how anything else would work as a single, aside from maybe 'G.U.Y.' but even then I'm not convinced. Edited November 12, 201311 yr by Silver Rocket
November 12, 201311 yr Applause - Do What U Want - END OF ERA! [LOL, jk] - Gypsy (February impact date) - Sexxx Dreams (May impact date) - MANiCURE (August impact date) Re-release Fame Monster style thingy to follow these...
November 14, 201311 yr 03 Gypsy 04 Aura 05 G.U.Y I think would be a decent run? That's probably going off personal preference (but ignoring that my fav Swine wouldn't be a good release choice, nor would MJH or Dope, both of which I prefer to G.U.Y) as I just don't get Sexxx Dreams, therefore would dislike it as a single.
November 14, 201311 yr Gypsy as third single is a total no brainer. I reckon after that G.U.Y might be a decent sized hit, but if they need a 5th single to tide things over for a bit longer Artpop could be a good curveball option given it's unlikely to do much chart wise no matter what it is (sans a major push, obv).
November 14, 201311 yr Well here's how I'd plan out the WHOLE ERA 01 Applause (mid August) (no iTunes gig - it was just embarrassing) 02 Do What U Want (late September/early October) 03 Sexx Dreams (early November) *album comes out* 04 Gypsy (January) 05 GUY (April) 06 Jewels N Drugs (June)
November 14, 201311 yr Singles aren't important any more Albums and especially tours are She has peaked as a singles artist imho much as i love her, her last #1 was Telephone But she will carry on selling multi platinum albums and packing out stadiums across the world
November 14, 201311 yr Okay LET'S JUST CARRY ON UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT SHE SHOULDN'T RELEASE SINGLES ANY MORE.
November 14, 201311 yr 3.Gypsy 4.G.U.Y. 5.Dope (along with a stripped back Grammy performance, YES.) 6.VENUS or Sexxx Dreams. Edited November 14, 201311 yr by Tyler
November 14, 201311 yr Gypsy, GUY, next album. Nothing else would work. Sexxx Dreams is a great song but it's SO not a single on any conceivable level.
November 14, 201311 yr Okay LET'S JUST CARRY ON UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT SHE SHOULDN'T RELEASE SINGLES ANY MORE. Course she should but i don't think they matter to her as much now What matters is albums/tours and she will be ultra successful in both for the next decade and beyond Artpop is not a commercial orientated album with lots of singalong tunes, its not a R1 album Edited November 14, 201311 yr by Sandro Raniere
November 14, 201311 yr 3. Gypsy 4. G.U.Y And 5 could be anything (pardon the pun...). As someone said above, a good curveball single here could work. But maybe she should release just two more singles the forget this era and move on to the next. I wonder if she will ever have a no.1 or top 3 single again at this rate.
November 15, 201311 yr The whole reason why artists release (or rather promote) singles after albums is to promote the album. Someone might be tempted to buy the album after hearing a song they like.
November 15, 201311 yr 03 Gypsy 04 Dope 05 Swine / Sexxx Dreams Seems logical anyhow if we look at BTW. Edited November 15, 201311 yr by compil.
November 16, 201311 yr Dope would never work as a single, neither would Swine. In your opinion -_- they differ y'know.
November 16, 201311 yr I'll get back at you once Gaga foolishly releases either one as a single and flops. :D
