Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I agree. Lady Gaga's specialty is dance tracks. And HML is NOT a dance track. I don't even know how to describe it. Great for fans. Not so great for the people who follow the crowd. Actually, the song sounds good in clubs. It's a dance track imo. :roll: "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."

Hecturr 1,921 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think Gaga should take a break and just focus on her tour. Even the radio stations are saying she's overplayed now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aga Gydal 3,158 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 "Born This Way" was an album that did a lot more for her artistry than her chart performances. After TFM her next step was to make a cohesive album that did more than sell singles, but to legitimize her presence in pop culture and music. Her entire career was leading up to this album and the lead track. There is definitely a lot of politics behind her name but she never got the opportunity to fuse her music and her message together until now. I didn't expect "Born This Way" to churn out chart-toppers because I knew that wasn't her business goal. The promotional singles, the Farmville/Metro uploads, and the 99 cent Amazon sale showed that she was more interested in pushing the whole album out as a unit than positioning it as simply a collection of singles. That's what Beyonce did with "4," which was why it seemed like she had a new single each week. It's a legitimate business strategy, and I suppose in a field where Katy Perrys and Rihannas have amazing single sales and abysmal album numbers people expect people like Gaga to follow suit. I don't know where she goes from here but I think the album (BTW) held more value than the sum of its parts, and I assume that Gaga knew that as well, which was why she chose an album orientation over a singles orientation. The singles did alright overall, but legitimate flops like Judas and Marry The Night showed that the album as a whole was more valuable (and cohesive) than the lonely singles advertised it to be.

Imo, this album is her greatest work. It may not be that successful as TF+TFM, but whatever. It sold a lot considering Adele is dominating rn.

Valgorie 44 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't know if in the US is happening, but here in Puerto Rico, Scheisse is being played a lot on the radio. I always wished that song was a single. Also, I always saw Born This Way as an album for self help rather than a commercialized album. But it still sold millions of copies.

Bloody Mary 12 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 MARRY THE NIGHT: SEPTEMBER 2011 - JANUARY 2012. Wow. Such a long era for such an underperforming song :cry: MTN should have been single #2! It would have slayed!!! I don't know if in the US is happening, but here in Puerto Rico, Scheisse is being played a lot on the radio. I always wished that song was a single. Oh wow. What's the radio edit like? If Heavy Metal Lover is the next single it will do much better, I'm sure! No. But I LOVE your signature! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga is Life 101 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I wonder if she'll ever have another #1 hit on billboard that isn't a lead single. I think she can if everything's timed right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
