Wasn't DWUW the current single? i remember i was so mad at her that she had to promote that hideous song instead of DWUW, i was imagine a great performance yet she deliver that ****, bye

I will never understand how can someone dislike Dope. It still touches my heart to this day the moment she starts belting the words.

Because i was in love with I WANNA BE WITH YOU, then she changed it for DOPE + the annoying voice, idk, i also think it's because that song kills the vibe of the album, everything flows so perfect until u reach DOPE, ugh, i hate it

C'mon, IWBWY is a toned down version of Dope. The lyrics of Dope are too honest and thoughful. As for the flow the song fits well after MJH and after Dope follows Gypsy (a powerballad) and Applause (the grand finale). If it was in the middle of the album I would agree with you but the moment you reach Dope on the album you need an emotional breakdown and a soulful performance especially after the heavy (and amazing) beats and lyrics of MJH( I won;t even start on the adrenaline injection that is Swine). The voice on Dope is just a matter of taste, I think that judging from the opinions on this forum you either love it or hate it...

What if she performed venus  the song had already hit the top 40 on the BB chart, and it would have gone to at least #5 or so.

Venus, a dream that never came true.   Don't break my heart even more, ARTPOP is such a mess that there is a big "IF" every 5 days of the Era. (and BTW had it's big share of messes as well )

Give her a break, Troy left that very day.

If you think your up to it there is going to be more youtube awards where you could be the one deciding what to perform.

this allowed 2 top songs from the album and 3 top 20 though!

The condescending response was not necessary. While I do feel that ARTPOP's management issues accorded for some unfavorable decisions during the era, I accept that these management issues can occur at any time for celebrities, especially for celebrities like Gaga that struggle with clinical depression and don't have the energy to conform with the requests of the GP/manager. I never stated that I was 'up for it' or that I could do better as a manager, I just thought it would have been cool if Venus were performed.

I just thought it would be cool if your tune were performed.

if DWUW was performed a la Chatty Man style, us ladiez would have had a number 1 in our grasp

tbh I love her outfit in that one.
