tonythewitch 450 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think ARTPOP is still an amazing album and era because of all the great tv performances, but of course if she achieved everything she teased about ARTPOP it would have been even more of a blast. Regarding what you mentionned about the singles, I think "applause" and "do what you want" deserved to be a single. Only for the duet with Xtina I thank ARTPOP for having excited the way it did to be honest haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 ARTPOP wouldn't be the album that it is now if Gaga was allowed to do exactly what she wanted so it's hard to tell. Everything from the music to the promotion and execution would be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 With Aura as the lead single the album would have sold 1m worldwide lmao. Applause was the best lead choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Honestly I think the era was doomed from the start. She could have released the best album of her career under a completely different title and she still would have been labelled a flop. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

RouboRoubo 511 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think that besides how unfairly ARTPOP was treated, it may have been a necessary hard period for Gaga to make sure that in the future she takes measure that will grant her more artistic freedom. Surely it is a real shame for how the huge amount of energy she put into it was not respected, especially by people of her team who as she has said didn't feel proud of her and her work, but maybe if ARTPOP hadn't gone the way it did she may never have gotten to deal with issues that were bringing her down. I always feel so good for her when I remember how free and happy she felt with Bennett: (ARTPOP talk at 6.00) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 26,716 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't know if Gaga herself knew what she wants with this era... She claimed she wanted Aura as lead, a bit later she claimed she wanted Sex Dreams, she also said she didn't want Applause to be lead single because it's the worst song on the album and later said it's the perfect lead single as it's about the Applause she couldn't get from her fans she couldn't satisfy because of her hip...

Modern Ecstacy 3,871 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 As someone whose fav Gaga album is ARTPOP and knows that album inside out. Here is what I have to say: (i) I think Applause was the perfect lead single to be released. Maybe if it was released prior to Roar, it could have been a #1 hit and all the negative "piting Katy and Gaga against each other" press wouldn't have been there (which honestly really affected Gaga and the ARTPOP era very negatively). But anyway, we gotta give Applause more credit. Its an amazing song. And it did very good on the charts. (ii) I don't get why so many people say that Aura should have been the lead single? Don't get me wrong, I think its a f**king amazing song. One of my favorites from Gaga's discography but I think it would have flopped hard. I don't think it's GP friendly at all. It's very unconventional and Applause is much more GP friendly. I would however love to see an "alternate universe where Aura was the lead single to see how everything played out" as someone mentioned earlier (iii) DWUW music video not getting released was probably one the biggest disappointments of all time. I honestly think if that video was released, the whole ARTPOP era would have been completely different. Not only is DWUW song an absolute banger, the video would have had the public SHOOK! (iv) I never understood why G.U.Y flopped. Doesn't make sense to me =/ The song is amazing and so is the mv. The only problem I found with it is that she made the whole ARTPOP film thing. It should have just been a G.U.Y music video. (v) The lack of music videos was disappointing too. Even if DWUW was cancelled and G.U.Y was released that wasn't where ARTPOP should have ended. Venus and Gypsy also deserved music videos (And so did Fashion!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panchecco 17,605 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think ARTPOP could have been the best visual album ever created. The concept of the album (putting ART in front of POP + art&creativity being the most powerful "tool" to fight depression/sadness and to set ourselves free) could have been synthesized in a movie/long music video featuring collaborations with Koons, Bob Wilson, Marina Abramovic, Inez&Vinoodh, Terry Richardson and Milli Brown. I think that Era was too messy mainly because Gaga had a lot of different projects in mind (the app/the visual album/releasing Telephone II/the collaboration with nasa/the TechHaus etc...) and the record label wouldn't let her do them all. If she (insted of all those projects) created a big visual experience in which she explained the meaning of ARTPOP using the songs on the album and the amazing help of the artists/photographers , I think the album could have had the success it deserved. An amazing album with a lot of potential that it wasn't "used" as much as it should have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
