Like everyone I prefer the original version and title. I'm also one of those delusional ARTPOP-stans, so I love these kinds of posts. But all these things aside. Let's be honest... Radio's Would Never Play This Song Applause received little radio play (after the initial obligatory comeback plays) because it wasn't different enough. DWUW received some radio play because it was different for Gaga, even though it was dead on arrival. I'm supposed to believe Aura would've flopped because it was too different? Different is only bad if the song is bad, but different is what smashes if the song it good (read "good" as "catchy" because we all know that's what qualifies as good on the radio). More of the same is what flounders about before dying, that's what happened to Applause. DWUW could've smashed as a lead but that would've garnered critics from the liberal section of the population, which Gaga actually needs to appeal to in order to sell.

kabirartfling 9,063 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 My hands are itching to report this, cuz not only this opinion is absolutely opposite to what actually would have happened, & applause when it came out sounded NOTHING alike any song out there , that pre chorus buildup is alone more iconic than the whole of aurá Give your love to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati 15,640 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I think people would have hated the incredibly long intro and would have given up before the masterpiece chorus hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl 3,061 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Aura is just pretentious babble over a very dated beat, the best chance she had was with Applause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
