E24187 615 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Only the fans didn't want it not just because of R. Kelly but because it's RnB inspired. She was done in at the oscars because of Sam and Linda Perry so that's a moot point any way. DWUW was the #1 single that got away. Easily the biggest mistake of her career.

Irrelevant 20,282 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 DWUW was a video promoting rape, was shot with a rapist (?) and was directed by somebody who has allegedly been abusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarticle 3,178 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 If it was that controversial, she could've refilmed with Xtina instead Justice for Grigio Girls!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It would've been insensitive and hypocritical in regards to endorsing rape culture and all of that. I'd imagine it was still hard for her and her team to come to grips with, because I'm sure they were proud of the video... but intentions don't always matter when it comes to effecting other people, impact does Even if I completely understand the metaphor in the song's lyrics, title, etc. and see the power in it, it doesnt separate it from the context of our society; the fact is that its still a video shot by an alleged almost serial rapist featuring an alleged (proven? ) sexual abuser making sexual advances towards Gaga while she is asleep If anything, it would come off as making light of or really just being an accomplice of rape culture by not standing up to these powerful men in her life and calling them out for who they are. Then TIHTY happened Honestly, I can only hope that TIHTY was Gaga's way of making personal amends with herself for her past relationships with Terry and R Kelly and that she plans on never working with them again in any serious capacity. Anything else would be enough for the average person to think less of her, and for good reason 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It would have reaffirmed why so many turned against her during Born this Way. That she just does things to one-up her previous "antics" and does a lot for shock value. Imagine the DWUW video being released, then a few months later the paint vomit performance...I think people would be done with her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13VictorC 1,102 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Gaga would've been fine. A few people would watch it, but most would forget about it. "Top" hit Applause says hi! One video could never save ARTPOP from oblivion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisGuyTony 31,086 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The video would've had 300,000,000+ views tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

baptism 2,670 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think cancelling the video and ruining the era had just as much of an impact on her career as releasing the video would have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have destroyed her career because she wouldn't be able to book the Oscar's and that played a huge role in restoring her image. C2C wasn't enough. Also, TIHTY would have been trashed as hypocritical. Her actions and her filming DWUW is already hypocritical wether the video got released or not.
