Emvee 7,053 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The utter delusion of people thinking DITD could've smashed. Top 10, yes. An Alejandro sized hit for the U.S. Starstruck on the other hand... You mean her best selling non single? :creepflop: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickkoko 917 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Was 99% sure she was going to release DITD as a single since she opened a huge world tour with it. Guess not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 30,499 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 People said the same thing about Marry The Night and GUY, and there you go. The music video for both songs were stunning but fans kept saying these two songs were "hits waiting to happen" and never did. The same thing could be said about Gypsy, Scheiße and Dance In The Dark, and maybe they'd not be as successful as the first, second and maybe third singles. As far as potential hits, I'd go for Monster, and maybe Gypsy if it was released as a second single, not right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Draco 2,531 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Starstruck would have sold a sh*tload but it would have been forgotten pretty soon. I think it would've been a LoveGame sized success and overshadowed by LoveGame and Paparazzi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Starstruck without a doubt. First, because it's from The Fame wherein all of her singles topped the Pop Songs chart. She had the momentum, and with smash hits like Just Dance and Poker Face, a song like Starstruck could have easily sold at least 4 million worldwide. Second reason - Flo Rida was a huge name back then too (he had his own 2009 smash hit, Right Round, which spent more weeks at #1 than JD and PF, combined). He's obviously bigger than Colby O'Donis. Among all the options listed above, it's the song which I believe has the biggest chance to become a top five hit, if only released during its album run.

FameHookah 4,572 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Starstruck is the obvious answer. Easily would have been her 3rd number 1 in the US.

blacklistedd 599 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Scheiße is so amazing and could have had potential to be a hit. Gypsy has really awful lyrics and it would have turned people off especially the one word lazy chorus. Starstruck could have had potential too since it sounded fresh in 2008/2009 with fun relatable lyrics to go out at night. I love dance in the dark and its one of my favorite songs ever and its a shame the label chose a cheesy song like telephone over it. I don't think the Gypsy lyrics are especially lazy at all. If word repetition is a problem for you then by that logic you shouldn't like more than half of her discography (Poker Face, Paparazzi, etc.). The only problem with Gypsy being a single is that matter of it apparently being a racial slur. Social justice is all the rage right now and people would be on her ass for it like mad. Look at the response to Aura, imagine if either of them had become a single? It would've been that x10. Sheisse was a lost opportunity. Things for that era could've been drastically different had that been the lead single, things would've been drastically more positive. Monster was also a lost opportunity as well as Dance In the Dark. I never understood why Starstruck is seen as a potential single, I mean I guess but its so bland. It didn't sound fresh at all back then imo, it sounded like a cliche. Im apparently among the few that believes Summerboy could've been big. Cute, fun, infectious and it was way more pop than anything on the radio at the time which to me makes it more fresh than that urban tinged flo-rida dullness. I mean everything was urban laced at the time. I dont understand why its deemed so fresh by the majority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If word repetition is a problem for you then by that logic you shouldn't like more than half of her discography (Poker Face, Paparazzi, etc.). No I don't have a problem with repetition but Gypsy sounds lazy in a way where the song goes nowhere and the chorus may sound loud but that doesn't make it "big". She sounds old in the song and that's not my taste and the verses are cheesy in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sounds old in the song and that's not my taste and the verses are cheesy in my opinion. I disagree that the song goes nowhere, I disagree that its lazy, and I also disagree that it fails to be "big". However, I do agree that the song does not sound youthful and is cheeseball-ish. It harks back to the cheeseball-ness of songs like The Edge of Glory and Hair off the previous album. That 80s stadium anthem sort of sound. Which is also not my taste either. Although I don't mind Gypsy or The Edge of Glory however they are not highlights for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
