How is Judas more experimental than Applause?

the sound, the message, the lyrics, the fact it got her banned in a few countries and pissed off the church (again)

Applause experimental 

You guys never cease to amaze me !!!

 

Edit : For now, most people in this thread still don't know what experimental means but, as usual, are still making statements about it.. Buy a book, buy a dictionnary, do something with your language skills and come back to this thread.

I think Judas has the wow-factors that should make the song commercially successful,

imo Applause is more experimental since no one knew whether it would finally turn out successful or not

No one knew if it would turn out to be successful because of the whole "Lady Gaga is Over" and Katy V Gaga thing not because of the song.

I mean it became one of her most longevity fuelled singles after all and became her biggest radio hit so

Honestly a lot of her songs are experimental until proven otherwise.  Pokerface, Bad Romance, etc.

 

 

This! 

I always considered all her songs experimental, the attention of the song will make it commercial.

A lot of her discography is experimental, but I believe she's absolutely out of this world with experimental music. That's why the experimental vs. commercial acts of ARTPOP were so exciting.

I think they're adventurous for a pop song, but nearly all of them still rely on the same typical pop strategies, especially in terms of structure, and melodies. To me it doesn't matter how many non-pop jackets a pop song wears, its body is still the same. That's how I think about it. Again, though, I don't expect or even desire Gaga to do something else  

That said, Teeth and Americano are among my all-time fav Gaga tracks and I consider them to be head and shoulders above your ordinary pop track  

I understand what you mean. But in my opinion, those things that you call jackets already make a song experimental. Because at the end of the day her "pop" songs are wearing jackets that other songs haven't worn before.
