NIghtmareElm 2,606 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 After DWUW video failed to release the ARTPOP era was pretty much dead. It was about time to start touring. I still don't see why they picked G.U.Y. as the final single for ARTPOP. I think it's a great song but not nearly catchy enough or strong enough to be a hit. Donatella (one of the best songs on ARTPOP) and Sexxx Dreams would have been better singles instead of G.U.Y. The video was her absolute best since Alejandro. I don't get why she spent so much money on a fantastic music video for that song though. That big of a video should have been used for Venus. Was there a reasoning why they ended the era with G.U.Y.? Apart from the David Letterman performance there wasn't any television promo. I never heard it on the radio. Did they predict it was going to be her biggest flop ever? Even The Cure charted higher and that song had zero promo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,950 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 It was a gift for fans to make up for the lack of a video for DWUW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could've released a 30 second clip of herself burping and no one would've noticed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Nook 37,807 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 G.U.Y. has Greek undertones they wanted to shoot at Hearst Castle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe her label wanted to at least wanted on more single at the request of G.U.Y. who knows Uh Red Wine...

Fernster7 7,922 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Mmmmm you lost me at "Donatella (one of the best songs on ARTPOP) But yes, Sexxx Dreams deserved to be a single way more than G.U.Y. Monsters never die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 38,276 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Most fans here were like "Omg GUY is a hit waiting to happen, I can't believe she's ignoring ARTPOP!" but then it was released and with an amazing music video. The point of it was to continue promoting ARTPOP after the drama with her management. The song was released but people were just not interested in Gaga at that time I guess. Had she not released it fans would still be like "Omg not releasing GUY was her biggest mistake, it had so much potential to be one of her biggest hits!" And it's something you see with Dancin' In Circles as well and something that happened to Marry The Night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
