April 15, 20214 yr I love Applause but it came and went too quickly and, outside of the chorus, had all the Gaga quirks that the locals were tired of. I think Do What U Want, Sexxx Dreams, and Gypsy were all more accessible — in whatever order. ARTPOP should have been the promo single — rather than Dope. If she was really feeling a piano moment for the promo tour then Gypsy was right there.
April 15, 20214 yr Single #1: Gypsy Single #2: Venus/Do What U Want [Dual Release] Single #3: Sexxx Dreams (ft Rihanna) Single #4: Aura Single #5: Dope [uSA Release] Single #6: Applause
April 15, 20214 yr Venus is terrible and would have killed her career. No. Gypsy, DWUW and Sexx Dreams with Rihanna would have been hits though.
April 15, 20214 yr Not in a million years the mariachi/industrial anthem that is Aura would have a good single. It's my fave on the album though.
April 15, 20214 yr Same with 'Aura' as a fully-fledged single, that would have only opened her up to ridicule.
April 15, 20214 yr Yup! Aura and Venus could not have been singles, ever. Venus is probably the worst thing she has ever done, too.
April 15, 20214 yr Gypsy is the last song on the album, so of course it doesn't get as streamed on a forgotten album!! It would have been a no.1 smash. Are you sure the radio would play this? Russia, UK, Paris I'm Italian, Asia combined Africa, India I’m gypsy, gypsy, gypsy I'm Latin American I dont speak German, but I try Some day in Jakarta, I’m American I’m gypsy I’m Bangkok, Australia Malasia, Sweden Finland, Norway Be my home just for the day I’m a gypsy, gypsy, gypsy, hey :rofl:
April 15, 20214 yr I would have still released applause first, I wasn’t the biggest fan when it was released but listening back it was clearly the strongest most radio friendly song. I think I would have gone: 1. Applause 2. Gypsy - Release album with a decent cover and a better name Applause would have been a good title 3. Do what you want (with someone else, the Christina one is excellent, Madonna would probably have been great, Cher??) 4. Sexx dreams (while I like GUY and Venus neither were commercial enough to be big) Edited April 15, 20214 yr by spiceboy
April 15, 20214 yr Not some of you putting Sexxx Dreams as a lead single and Applause (the only radio-friendly song on the album alongside DWUW) as the last single
April 15, 20214 yr And Gypsy would never be played on the radio, it's just a fan favorite song, same for Heavy Metal Lover on BTW.
April 15, 20214 yr No. Gypsy is HUGE. Loads of songs on radio reference a bunch of countries. Let's look at top 3 UK hit and USA no.1 La La La La La by Fergie: JAMAICA! Just got to New York like a gnat on a jet To London, to Brazil, to Quebec I just booked a Paris ticket Thinking Russia need a visit I'ma run it to the limit And be on my way to Venice L.A. got the people saying (la la la la la) Brooklyn saying (la la la la la) Hacienda saying (la la la la la) Vegas saying (la la la la la) Rio saying (la la la la la) Tokyo saying (la la la la la) Down under saying (la la la la la) Miami saying (la la la la la) JAMAICA!!! Uh, tell 'em where I'm at From the plaques to the (uh uh) Everything fat Got Mustard on a track My girls all stack When I roll down the window, let me know where you're Atlanta, North South kick it 'lac Texas grill, Cadillacs through Miami then back To London, Jamaica, then France The whole damn world took effect to Ferg Tell 'em Get in with the business When I come from Kansas City Hit Manila till it's Christmas Out to India I'll visit Puerto Rico is exquisite Bring my people back to Venice L.A. got the people saying (la la la la la) Moscow saying (la la la la la) España (la la la la la) Kingston saying (la la la la la) San Diego saying (la la la la la) Chi town saying (la la la la la) Germany saying (la la la la la) La Puente saying (la la la la la) IBIZA!!!!! So! You were saying? Applause didn't even manage top 3. Gypsy is the biggest song on ARTPOP, rivalled only by DWUW.
April 15, 20214 yr S1: Applause (mid-August to early September 2013) PS1: Aura S2: DWUW (November 2013) PS2: Venus S3: Gypsy (February 2014) S4: Sexxx Dreams (June 2014) [w/ remix] I honestly think that everything was going fine until her team scrapped Gypsy from a potential single push and waiting too long after DWUW peaked to push something else. Aura would have worked perfectly as a promo single to help push Machete Kills, and as much of a bop as G.U.Y. is, Gypsy outclassed it in every way. It was much more radio friendly and more palatable to Gaga’s more feel good style of music. I really wanted Aura as a single the first time I heard it but looking back now I don’t think the public was ready for psy trance... I mean they still aren’t now. That song is truly ahead of its time.
April 15, 20214 yr Gypsy is just noise, it wouldn't play on the radio unless Gaga spent a few thousand dollars for it.
April 15, 20214 yr Author Gypsy is just noise, it wouldn't play on the radio unless Gaga spent a few thousand dollars for it. If Gypsy is "just noise" what do you consider songs such as Swine, MANiCURE, Donatella, Jewels n Drugs et al to be :rofl:
April 15, 20214 yr If Gypsy is "just noise" what do you consider songs such as Swine, MANiCURE, Donatella, Jewels n Drugs et al to be :rofl: :lol: Gypsy is literally GaGa at her best!
April 15, 20214 yr Author A feel good, empowering anthemic song with an explosive chorus and huge middle-8? I think so too!
