degenerate 443 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Should've been the lead single. Would've done better than Applause. Would've been a PERFECT segway into the era instead of that koons art **** that no one understood. Would've showed the GP a whole new side of Gaga with incredible Xtina-esque vocals they've never heard from her. Would've been a multi-format smash with the solo version to Pop and R-Kelly version to Rhythmic. Would've gone top 3, probably #1 on billboard with a good video. Would've been an entirely different situation on our hands with the ARTPOP era if she had released this first and not alienated the GP with pretentious art stuff. That could've come later down the road. Sad sad sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalOne 8,208 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Would you guys be against Gaga attempting to do DWUW again at the end of the era? Rerelease it as a single and finally release a video for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Probably the saddest moment in her career. The song deserved way more. A lot of people paid attention to her music again because of that song. The video could have been iconic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxi 4,999 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It deserved to be a huge hit. She shot herself in the foot with that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmThatGUY 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I mean it still kinda slayed. SO MANY non Gaga fans LOVED IT. You all may hate me for this but Jewels N Drugs could help the era. IMO Jewels N Drugs will either SMASH or FLOP. well there is one more hit from the album and I don't disagree with you at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slade 2,591 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's the best single she's ever released. It deserved to be #1 and to have a killer video. I'm so glad that we got such amazing performances for it at least. Â Should've been the lead single. Would've done better than Applause. Would've been a PERFECT segway into the era instead of that koons art **** that no one understood. Would've showed the GP a whole new side of Gaga with incredible Xtina-esque vocals they've never heard from her.

Would've been an entirely different situation on our hands with the ARTPOP era if she had released this first and not alienated the GP with pretentious art stuff. That could've come later down the road. Sad sad sad. This would have been absolute perfection omg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobtank 9,090 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Imagine a video directed by Francis Lawrence or Jonas Akerlund (referring to them cos of Bad Romance and Telephone)Â :cry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koreku 2,387 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 This is so depressing. DWUW grabbed the attention of so many people. Radio loved it and played it a lot; people that didn't even care for Gaga's music were humming "Do what you want, what you want with my body..." IT JUST NEEDED THE VIDEO Â You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdancy 282 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I always get sad when I think about DWUW :tissue: the smash that never was And it makes me even more upset that it was a song about final getting to do what she wanted and then life took a massive dump all over it Sht on me ****ing sht on me **** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilVenusian 579 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 F*uck Do What U Want tbh. It had its chance to shine. Title should be changed to : Appreciating Venus... (And what could have been) PS: No Disrespect   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicyjuicy 1,230 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I am the biggest DWUW stan ever. Very likely my most favourite Gaga song ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 7,080 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm just glad it was the 2nd single instead of Venus lol But tbh, how much could the video have really done? AMAs, SNL, THE ****ING VOICE... And it still didn't manage to crack iTunes top 10 again after it's debut. Maybe the video could've given it more longevity with streaming points, thus pushing radio to keep spinning it. Then if the video was the last push it needed to get into the top 10 on iTunes, it would've gotten top 10 exposure, which would've resulted in a sales spike. Maybe. Oh well lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
