Pain of fame1 226 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Gypsy was more radio friendly than G.U.Y. true.. GUY is not radio friendly at all. It flopped because people didnt even know it existed. Rdios didnt play it in spain. Nobody has heard it ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If she'd hve promoted it more it, and internationally it could've been successful tbh The song wasn't written as a power bottom song nor was it's original intention, the gays just made it so; it's about submitting to a man and still feeling powerful with a hint of not needing to be a mainstream success to know ur worth as an artist an woman (although the latter only kinda became apparent after the video) Ergo: it's a song about reverse feminism Actually SHE said on a radio that it's about power bottoming.

Bradley 55,008 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I never understood why radios snubbed G.U.Y. This! You guys change so fast. Before the third single was released, everyone was kissing G.U.Y.'s ass and said that G.U.Y. was the new Bad Romance and that it could save the ARTPOP era. It is one of the best tracks on the album and deserved to be a single. The reason it flopped had no relations to the melody but the bad promotion.

Wet Fire 5,690 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Gypsy was a better choice. Anyway, G.U.Y. is melodically and vocally great. Sometimes the production seems overdone (rspecially during the chorus). The chorus doesn't live up to the excitement made by the amazing intro and pre-chorus. And the autotuned robotic vocals sound great. Still, they are s-xual, but not s-xy. (TBH G.U.Y. & Sexxx Dreams, despite being s-xual, don't sound s-xy at all. TBH ICGYABL is the Gaga song where Gaga sounds s-xy as hell, like the real killer s-x appeal is present there ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 11,645 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's weird because quality was never an issue with that song. It is a quintessential Gaga bop, the kind of track that encapsulates her signature sound to a T, the fanbase was clamoring for it to be a single from the second ARTPOP was released, and it's certainly one that my non-Monster friends/family loved when I played it for them (believe me, I've played it for many people). So I don't know how the average listener would have reacted to it, but I do believe it was not given the opportunity it deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danwasd 2,444 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 it would have done much better. Not saying that it is a better song, but it was crafted for radio. GUY is about power bottoming... POWER BOTTOMING! I don't think you could have a less GP-friendly song than POWER BOTTOMING..... POWER F*CKING BOTTOMING! Yes it does sounds like a traditional Gaga song (a la Bad Romance, Judas, etc) but the theme makes it SUPER unfriendly to general audiences. It's about POWER BOTTOMING. Am I repeating myself enough in this thread? POWER BOTTOMING! Yep, you are Btw ... POWER BOTTOMING! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain of fame1 226 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Anal s-x. WHAAAAT?¿ :excuseme: :nooo: So she likes a--l s-x? I thought a power botton is the one who is underneath the other. didn't gaga say so? "i'm a power botton, i like to be underneath"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's about POWER BOTTOMING. Am I repeating myself enough in this thread? POWER BOTTOMING! Only Gays actually think that. Gaga said that sort of as a joke, but the overall theme is about giving yourself over to another person and being willing to be submissive. It's not some Gay power bottom anthem and nobody in the GP would take it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"i'm a power botton, i like to be underneath"? Well I guess it can be used for vaginal s-x too but I think the most common use is referring to a--l s-x (the bottom being the one who is recieving, the power being when they're taking charge). And when you add that into Gaga's fanbase buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
