Prometheus 1,494 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Applause does not have relatable lyrics. They were literally called "atypical" when critics noticed how well the song was doing for it's lyrical content. G.U.Y. is about power bottoms, also not incredibly relatable (unlike Birthday, where EVERYONE has a birthday). Gaga doesn't really play it safe by pop music standards. She plays it balls out and intelligently (for the most part). Miley just plays it tits out while riding a purple dildo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester 6,306 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Even though G.U.Y. was a fan-favorite, it was a risky choice so she's not really playing it safe all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon 457 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Born This Way era wasn't safe TF(M) eras were and with AP she tried to play it safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia 269 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 she isn't playing it safe the thing is she isn't getting attention because people actually DONT CARE about her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This whole post is a mess with all the respect. TEOG is one of Gaga's best songs ever with the most powerful lyrics ever. MTN was not even commercial or generic. Applause lyrics are not relatable and there is only one reason the song became a single, it was masterpiece song that till today it never gets old. The only generic choice I see is GUY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyodisko 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think she should stop playing it safe in regards to the music. She didn't push boundaries with ARTPOP, just stayed in well-established guidelines. She needs to go big or go home. Partynauseous would be playing it mostly safe lyrically while pushing the boundaries in the music which is exactly what I think Gaga should do and where she shines. It's why people liked her- she was a beacon. I don't think TEOG or Y&I were neccessarily playing it safe. They were just good songs to begin with. Y&I is amazing. TEOG is beautiful and fun. Applause and DWUW were way too safe. Like, depressingly so. Applause was only safe because of the music. Lyrically it was not "safe" and imo some terrible verses. I'm fine as long as she doesn't start making music like Aura and Donatella a regular thing. WCS from Miley was less safe than Gaga having Applause as the lead.

Anomaly 159 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! G.U.Y. tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
