idldte 2 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Because it's not a good song. The chorus is so incredibly weak. There's nothing memorable or catchy about it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstereo 1,232 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sounds outdated, like some pop song from the early 2000s. Weak Chorus. Same problem MTN had with sounding too 80s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applause 650 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It needed Applause sort promo to get going :cry: I personally love GUY Xalser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickMonster 6,463 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Bad song, dated EDM sound, unrelatable lyrics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain of fame1 229 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This cuestion again? Well, despite it's weak chorus ( yet catchy) and outdated EDM synths G.U.Y could have been a hit: IF IT WAS PROMOTED MASSIVELY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommymonster44 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 1. Poor public opinion of Gaga 2. It was released post album, so it needed casual listeners to support it because fans already bought the album. 3. Dwuw didn't do well. Something to understand about radio is that they look at previous singles to predict public opinion on the current one. They saw DWUW didn't do well, so they decide to not spin G.U.Y. 4. The beat and subject matter is still left field for America. The verses are a bit abrasive and this is basically a power bottom anthem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E24187 615 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Um. GUY is one if the catchiest songs she's ever done. She didn't promote. Marry The Night got more promo than this did. Also, this era ended at the Billboard Awards. If GUY wasn't a hit, nothing else on ARTPOP had a chance. Plain and simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaisHotAF 419 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Because the era started to die after DWUW and usually radio's don't play 3rd singles from what they deem "unsuccessful albums" Probably on Grindr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E24187 615 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Because the era started to die after DWUW and usually radio's don't play 3rd singles from what they deem "unsuccessful albums" right. People saying it isn't catchy but then getting life to Judas or the god awful Hair is just inconsistent. I believe the no. 1 problem is that the era was over. Like....if she were to release Scheiße now, despite it being one of the best songs from BTW, it would flop because the era is over. Same with GUY.

E24187 615 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 GUY would've been a hit third single if DWUW was handled properly. Instead, they both flopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people I know that don't care for the new album love ARTPOP and Gypsy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This has been discussed countless times. It didn't become a hit because of various reasons, including the lack of promotional push from Gaga and her team, the dreadful radio treatment it received, and the timing of its release (almost three months after DWUW was slowing down on iTunes and on radio). Anyway, if you want to still discuss this kind of things, please do so in our Gaga Charts Discussion Thread. Closing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
