Married the Night 3,955 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have a theory. Rumor has it that MTV made Gaga change the performance. But I am almost positive this was planned around the originally intended lead single. And as we know, that was Aura (and why Gaga leaked it). This doesn't fit applause. At all. But it fits Aura. I think they changed it to the different Gagas to fit the single change. MTV didn't make her change it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applause is closer to the length at 3:33. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala 3 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The article says 3:36 is the end of the song though, and Aura goes on for longer than that. Applause is closer to the length at 3:33. Maybe the performance was intented for Aura but when planning Applause's performance they tried to go with it too? They couldn't have the concept written before being sure of what single it was, but the idea was intented for Aura first (imo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Married the Night 3,955 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 well kinda but one thing bothers me and its that apllause was anounced way before vmsa's (i think)so why would they plan on doing performance for aura The VMA thing would have been in the works a WAY before the announcement. Like when Gaga thought it would be Aura. The telephone sequal. Which she said there was a treatment written for. A plan was made for the video.

Mast 980 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 That original concept had absolutely nothing to do with the song. I'm glad it got axed. This. Paparazzi worked because it was for the most part relevant to the song. This is straight up just wanting to shock people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep 0 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Minus Athey (or at least more softened in comparison to his performance art pieces) the original would've been an amazing piece to return to the stage, I gutted they wouldn't let her walk with a legion of look-a-likes either on the red carpet. Makes me wonder what other limitations have been made on her alongside other artists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can't see the original really working with Applause, it doesn't fit the song tremendously and I think it would have came across a little try hardy? The concept sounds great and could have been better than what we got, I just can't see it working with Applause! I have a theory. Rumor has it that MTV made Gaga change the performance. But I am almost positive this was planned around the originally intended lead single. And as we know, that was Aura (and why Gaga leaked it). This doesn't fit applause. At all. But it fits Aura. I think they changed it to the different Gagas to fit the single change. MTV didn't make her change it. The dark visuals would have been beautiful with the Swinefest version (original?) of Sexxx Dreams or Aura, both were supposedly the lead single at different points?

warhol killah 8,674 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The original sounds better. but having Aura as the first single then that as a performance then slay me well then motherfuckers warhol killer ✴ GAGA¹⁵ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre 10,480 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 FUN FACT: The turning 'head' didn't work hours before the VMAs and they had to change ALL the performances. Im glad they changed the concept for Applause days before the vmas, can you imagine Gaga and the haus having meltdowns because of the turning stage 2 hours before the show? ❝Is not blue, not turquoise, not lapis. It's actually cerulean❞. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodrat 299 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It would have fit Applause perfectly. The song is about how it was torture for her to be away from the stage and applause when her hip broke. The song itself is upbeat, but the juxtaposition of this fun dance song with the slowly moving torture set would have captured the feeling of being bedridden with a broken hip: she wanted so badly to be out finishing her exciting, massive world tour, but she was bloodied up and stuck in bed. Also, if this performance was actually carried out, all the idiots wouldn't have been asking "where's the art?" for the entire album cycle (and especially when the album was released). The original point of ARTPOP was to put high art into pop music performances. She got the pop music part covered with the songs on the album, but no one seemed to let her do what she wanted with the performance art aspect. It would've sucked to be Gaga this past year, tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
