MANIAC

Is How to Love an official single? I hope not, it's a great song, but I can't see it doing well on the charts at all... :cry:

Heavy Metal Lover would tank in the American charts. Maybe not as much overseas, but America would hate it. It's just too dance-y for them. It would end up like Stereo Love, just missing the top 10. As for the UK, it *might* scrape the lower top 5, but that's really the highest possible. Brilliant song though. As for Bloody Mary, I love the song, but I just can't see radio getting behind it anywhere, especially not the states. It's hard to explain. I just don't think it would work as well as, say, Marry the Night or Scheiße.

Can't wait for this song to hit radio on June 6th! America loves Katy Perry.

Is there some kind of official poll from her website or something to vote on the next single? I want to flood the votes for Scheiße :P

Did you listen to the song before you judged it? Even if not, you're right. It sucks. :P

Hey, a man can dream right?

This. Yoü and I should be kept as an album track. I was just pointing out that it's LIKELY to happen; I don't really want it to. Actually, I was listening to Sheiße today, and thought about how it could be radio edited. Imagine a rap verse to replace the german at the beginning with a looped beat, immediately after "I don't speak german, but I can if you'd like." IMO it would fit nicely. A verse from Nicki Minaj (:dance:) or B.o.B or someone wouldn't be too out of place. Of course, that would only be for us Americans. The UK would most likely be ok with the original. Thing is, we're picky on our radio. The rest of the song would be a hit, guaranteed. It just depends on how they edit the german. I'd personally love the described version above. I can actually hear it clearly, it's wonderful. Wish I could change my vote now...

Yoü And I is already top ten-ing on the US iTunes, which usually means a single release will be on its way soon enough. I'd love to see Marry The Night as a single, though, so I voted for that.

A whole month away? :( Better be released over here in the states.

Release date for this yet?

Ale-alejandro, Ale-alejandro.

I think the release of TEOG actually threw it off incredibly. The video was barely out and the song had no chance with radio. I had expected Judas to be a radio slow-burner the first time I had heard it, and, had the record company not gone straight to single #3, that's probably what it would've ended up as. I blame impatience and lack of promotion. Also, the music video sucked.

Painfully close tie between Yoü and I and The Edge of Glory.

It's definitely decent. I don't love it like some of you, but I must say, it makes a great driving song.

Best top 10 in a long time. Love to see Super Bass doing so well, love that song. PYA and TEOG as well. Jeez. What a great top 10.

It's close to midnight for the American iTunes... anyone else not having a Complete My Album option?

Whenever would've been a FAR better choice for a single. This song drags on painfully.

That Banana Boat Song sample is ingenious actually. What's with the sampling of that song lately? (this & 6 Foot 7 Foot) Of course, I'm not complaining. Dayyyyy-oh, me say daaaaayyyy-oh. ^_^

There's been a lot of rumors going around about his "rock project/side project/renaming" thing, 2 Be Continuum with Dot da Genius. If those are true, that could explain the lack of focus on promoting this album. Although, honestly, he almost seemed to have this sort of thing in mind from the get-go this time around. The album sounds far more cohesive than MOTMI, which is quite a feat. He truly wanted this to be listened through from beginning to end. However, he's also releasing videos for Marijuana and Mr. Rager, as well as a short film for MANIAC ( :hic: ), so don't forget about MOTMII just yet.

Lol, was the censoring really necessary? :P 3 GaGa songs in the top 10, jeez. And people say she's flopping...

This. Her vocals just don't fit the track IMO. I'm a big fan of sampling, but I love to hear a new vocal track or slight instrumentation changes that ENHANCE the original song, not just simply tacking vocals onto an original instrumental. (Although, that does work out sometimes - see Happiness by Alexa Jordan. Love Brazil, love that song)

I have yet to hear Nayer add anything substantial to a song she's featured on.

I prefer the original version of Dirty Dancer. Loved that beat.

That's honestly what I've thought the whole time. It was a very vague tweet, I won't believe it til she releases it. Besides, why would they release this version as the official single without Ke$ha instead?
