After how messy the DWUW era was, I get that Interscope wanted a safer single.  So Sexxx Dreams was probably out of the quest, even though it had a lot of potential to be a smash.  The G.U.Y. era was great though.  While the song doesn't work by itself, it blends perfectly well with the album.  I never skipped it.  Her best music video since Alejandro.  I even liked it better than Born This Way video.  Her performances were really spot on.  It just couldn't be a hit.  It was destined to flop.  Doesn't really have that single worthy sound to it.  Other songs do though.  

Donatella.  It's really catchy and has the signature Gaga hook.

Gypsy.  Really theatrical.  Very safe to go as a single.  Imagine the video!

Venus because no matter what she released at that point, it was going to flop, and she could've given us the original video she had planned when it was set as the second single.

No hate though, I love the G.U.Y. video too.

Came in here to say Sexxx Dreams :gaycat:

Donatella would have flopped so hard.  This fanbase loves Gypsy but I just don't see it being a GP smash.  The whole album was a bit more risque than it seems on first listen...full of weird pop songs (that i love don't get me wrong)

DWUW deserved to be a smash

Hell, I would've been okay if she had scrapped a third single completely and just gave us a killer DWUW video to appease this fanbase.

Poor DWUW...arguably her best single choice that never lived up to its full potential...

G.U.Y. failed because of the mismanagement of the era, not because the song sucked (which it didn't).

The music video is one her best, no matter what people say. Not to mention she supported it so much, the money came from her own pocket.

One of her best songs :giveup: I'll still always love DWUW.

Donatella is the most ATROCIOUS song in her entire discography IMO ...Her vocals are so MEH!

If DWUW wasn't messy and we had the video. The ARTPOP era should've went...

1. Applause

2. DWUW

3. MANiCURE or Venus

4. Sexxx Dreams

5. G.U.Y

6. Gypsy

It's "should have been", not "should of been"

 

anyway, Venus or DWUW the world was against her. Nothing would have succeeded

None tbh.  The era ended when the DWUW video never came out. She should of went straight on to C2C. 

(I am extremely happy that we got the G.U.Y video, it was a terrible marketing move but I'm happy she did it for the fans)
