exoskeleton35 646 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 First of all this is not a "Exoskeleton35 hates perfect illusion" thread. I personally really like the song. However I have the unfortunate feeling that it won't resonate with the general public. Unfortunately the general public is basic as ****. That's why closer by Halsey and the chainsmokers is smashing. The problem with PI is that It's not an undeniable number one pop record. Yes Gaga wants to branch out and do some more disco rock new wave oriented music. Fantastic. However in order for Perfect Illusion and her other new wave disco ideas to work, She needs to employ the classic one two punch promotional trick. Just Dance + Poker Face, California Girls+ Teenage Dream etc. The 2nd single needs to be an undeniable catchy pop song that will sell the record. Does anyone else agree with me. Knowing Gaga, I'm sure the rest of the album tracks will be absolutely killer, but I really hope she releases a 2nd single that is more straightforward pop to lure the gp in.

Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I have faith in Gaga! Don't worry, she wants success just like you do also! Why do you think she is in the UK right now promoting and coming to the US on Monday for z100? She is hungry! I have full faith in Bobby and Gaga GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exoskeleton35 646 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Not enough promotion in the world could make Perfect Illusion a number one hit on the hot 100. It's too rock. It's not basic enough for mass appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nswain1110 3,066 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I don't know - I really feel like she's trying to pull away from straight pop with this album, which is fine, as long as it's gooooood ;-) Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/natethetrailhunter/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else agree with me. She needs to be authentic. Not a GP-wh0re. Plus, PERFECT ILLUSION has been around for literally 19 hours, can we just appreciate it more? I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotHML 392 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I hope so. The album needs smash hits. Pop music exists in the present; you’re only as good as your last single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I love immersing myself in the forum when it has its damn head on straight I'm cool if you like to follow charts, it is definitely interesting... But let's give it more than just one day to see if the GP likes it. Give it at least a week or two. Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwightie 159 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Enough with the number one bullshi+, but FYI, it went to number 1 on itunes in over 60 countries. You need to get a life and worry about the actual integrity of music and what Lady Gaga has been putting into her work, that is much more important than a number one. Furthermore, if it goes to number one on the rock chart, that's an accomplishment, get over your damn pop charts, much more to music than the damn pop chart. F U C K!

I couldn't care less about what the GP buys or enjoys tbh. As long as Gaga is creating something new and fresh, I'm happy. The RedOne-esque (or literal) song will come but geez, we legit just got Perfect Illusion lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
