X Dreams 94 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 There are a ton of people that hated Y&I as a single. I was also one of these people. I was pressed that Scheisse or Hair wasn't chosen. However, just recently I realized that Y&I could have been the most rewarding single of Gaga's career. Why? Because that's where she met Taylor Kinney. It was during the BTW era that Gaga was having a ton of emotional issues. She was still recovering from her past relationship if I recall correctly. However, it was through the screening of Y&I's music video where Gaga finally met Taylor. I think that he's had a huge positive impact on her life, helped her get through the era, and helped her through all of the hate that's been thrown at her as of late. She is so happy around him, just look at this GIF! So the next time you try to throw shade at Y&I, just realize that this single could have been what got her through her toughest times. I think these two may get married, and I really doubt they would have met without shooting that music video. You & I slays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichAssPiss 4,921 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 You and I was an amazing single. It's a true testament to her versatility as a writer and performer that she was able to put this arena rock ballad onto Top 40 radio and give Brian May's guitar sound a second life in pop music.

MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 How about because it was a hit and critics loved it and continue to love it? Also the video was completely flawless. Truthfully I actually loath the song (it's just not my thing) but I never thought it was a bad single choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Scheisse may have done ok internationally but I feel like Hair would have done about as well as MTN and would have been worse received. Y&I and TEOG reminded people that Gaga actually was a brilliant, versatile songwriter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyodisko 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think Y&I was the smartest choice from the album. Nothing else would have done very well, as much as we liked it. Scheisse would have tanked. People were already getting tired of Gaga's messages by then. Hair would have done moderately well imo, just because it's a light power anthem. Plus Y&I is in my top two or three favorite Gaga songs. It's flawless. I can't believe anyone would ever be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLuna 12,732 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It could've been any other single tbh, but yeah, I'm definitely grateful that she met Taylor, he seems like an amazing boyfriend and Gaga obviously loves him very much I will never get over the irony of Gaga meeting Taylor on the set of a music video for a song that's about Lüc, they even shot the damn thing in his hometown in Nebraska.

I agree with this actually. Even though I was pressed that it was a single, I see now that it was a good single choice besides the fact that it's how she met Taylor. It was also a good transition from TEOG in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
