idldte 2 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ever since 2011 Gaga has been arguably playing it safe. After Judas Born This Way had the songs with the most relatable lyrics released, even if they were some of the weakest songs from the album. The album's most critically praised songs such as Scheisse, Government Hooker, and Bloody Mary were not released. The same thing has happened with ARTPOP. Applause was released as the lead single which is one of the weakest tracks on the album. The album had a lot better lead single choices, but with less commercial lyrics. Also Venus as a single got cancelled for the more relatable "Do What U Want" to be released as a single instead. Back in 2008 Gaga's music was different than what was out there, and people noticed it. In 2009 when she released Bad Romance everyone was calling the song weird, but it became the biggest hit of 2010. Should Gaga stop playing it safe and release the more risky tracks as singles? or would you rather she continue to release the most commercially relatable tracks as singles, even if they are weaker?

HermioneGranger 608 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 What Gaga needs to do is to create a smash, make a great video with great performances and then come hard! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfGuy 10 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 She's not tho. Calling her music "art" is definitely not a safe move. Not that her work isn't "art" cause imo it is, but the GP certainly does not see her music as art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Day 5,766 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 She released a country rock ballad as a single, she released a song with R. Kelly so yeah she is totally playing it safe Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelduuh 487 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't think she's playing safe, she played safe with The Fame. After her music has been more experimental and her images is more crazy. IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VISION 52 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 What other risky songs had she released? During The Fame, she was the safest she's ever been BR was very safe. But it sounded weird, because she still was a new artist. TEOG - her 2nd best song and heavily critically acclaimed You and I - Gaga said it was her best work MTN - her anthem and BTW's theme song Applause was safe, yeah I agree DWUW is too good to be never released GUY sounds experimental for 2014 So far, the singles choices have been exellent imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Unicorn 82 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Applause ? The weakest track ? Are you kidding ? It was her most successful single since The Edge of Glory. Applause was a very good choice. But the problem is not the single choice, it's clearly the weak promo. With a big promo like Capitol did with Katy Perry or others, she can have other little hits.
