sexy 3,100 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Not taking into account the lack of a music video, do you think DWUW would have performed better had Christina Aguilera been the original featured artist instead of on the remix? I personally prefer the R. Kelly version, but it's interesting to note the successes of recent songs that have featured Aguilera (Feel This Moment, Say Something, Moves Like Jagger). Not saying it would've substantially improved DWUW's chart performance, but maybe Top 5? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 55,820 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 It would have done better if she'd have actually promoted it. ARTPOP wasn't commercially successful because it wasn't promoted, and it was a little behind on the trends. Purr more, hiss less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 20,608 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think the presence of R.Kelly and his controversy gave more attention to the song than what Xtina would give, not one even remembers there was a Xtina version of the song I'm pretty sure!

ryanripley 86,575 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 hmm... maybe... i just wish it was properly promoted because a few people i know dislike gaga but they LOVED DWUW so i wonder how well the solo version would have done too  https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTPOP wasn't commercially successful because it wasn't promoted, and it was a little behind on the trends. DWUW had plenty of promo with the exception of the video (AMAs, American Idol, Graham Norton, SNL, X-Factor, Alan Carr). But even though music video's always gave a nice boost to Gaga's sales, they rarely were the most important factor in her succes. Especially if you take into account that most of her video's were released WEEKS after most her singles hit the radio . Her overal momentum was simply decreasing, and it was only logical after all that time of topping the charts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latina twilight 2,319 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've heard R. Kelly's version only one time on radio in my city, while I've heard Xtina's like three or four times.

Cpeer 622 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 DWUW is one of the best song Gaga has ever written. The problem was she didnt had the time to sort the things out couse of the Venus/DWUW mess and she was getting hate 24/7 that time from media and even some little monsters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellys version was nowhere to be seen. I remember I was at the beach and I was snatched when I've heard DWUW playing from the bar the becah.  Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
