androiduser 7,087 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 In my opinion, it wasn't, and it was one of the reasons the album underperformed.I would have chosen Gypsy as the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klou 2,365 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nope. Aura had the potential to be a Bad Romance caliber single IMO. Applause is a good radio single, but very safe by her standards. Guaranteed to do well, but not great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

degenerate 443 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sexxx Dreams should've been the lead​There's an Applause-era interview where she says her and the label were deciding between Applause & Sexxx Dreams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to have forgotten that Gaga's success in Bad Romance was partially because of how different it was from most pop songs at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklistedd 599 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am really questioning this. Most of the people I talked to said that it was catchy, but left something to be desired. I kind of agree, it's not the easiest song to relate to, but the beat does slay. I just think she should have released something more experimental from the album, like Aura or Do What U Want. Applause seemed like what the public would expect from Gaga. â€‹I think releasing anything off this album is what the public would've expected from her. That was one of my criticisms of this record actually, that it wasn't drastic enough of a departure from her past music to make itself its own critically viable entity. Not to say it was bad because I don't personally feel its musically as poor as some people try to argue, but the whole album left something to be desired in my not so humble opinion.As for what could've been the lead single I think Applause was a fine enough choice. I think GUY, ARTPOP, Do What U Want, Sex Dreams or Venus all couldve been leads as well. Venus probably would've been the most positively divisive song she could've chosen as a lead since its such a grower. Do What U Want would've been divisive but moreso because of the connotations of the song and the fact that R. Kelly is featured (idc what anyone says, christinas version was totally random and unnecessary and she added nothing to the song). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People only say that because they can't think of anything to criticize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccountClosed 4 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think it was, Gaga always releases a song that even though doesn't reflect the entire album, it's sort of like a *first d--g experience for the rest of the album* or something along those words that she said... I.E. Just Dance, Born This way and Applause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
