Was Starstruck a missed opportunity?

tbh I feel like it would've been a better followup to Poker Face than LoveGame. I feel like it would've gone Top 3 for sure, possibly #1. It's such a bop and would fit nicely in between Just Dance/Poker Face and LoveGame/Paparazzi. 

thoughts?

Tell me why I read this as Starbucks and thought you were gonna explain how that should've been a promotional tool for the tour :selena:

OT: Yeah there was a lot of buzz around Starstuck. I think the singles during TF were fine but the transition was too rushed between TF/TFM. I get what they were trying to do but as a fan I would've appreciated better pacing for my enjoyment of the eras. Starstruck could've worked as a 5th single but they wanted to start TFM era :shrug:

No, her fans would have killed her lol. Even though everyone loved Starstruck, Lovegame was always a fan fave from the beginning. Even before Strastruck existed.

Absolutely. Gaga was at her peak commercially speaking and Flo Rida was MASSIVE. That song could of been another 5 million selling single for her in the US (and that is me being conservative it could of actually been another 7M seller for her). It was an easy #1 for her or at least top 3 smash.

I'd also include Monster. Monster could of become a Halloween signature. Basically a mini Thriller (song). 

Should of been like this: 

The Fame:

Just Dance

Poker Face

Starstruck 

Love Game

Paparazzi


 

The Fame Monster:

Spoiler

 

Bad Romance

Telephone

Alejandro

Monster

At the time probably :poot: It was 2008 and it had Flo Rida on it :poot:

Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah...

She would have 3 #1 singles in a row and 3 7 million sellers in a row in the US, instead of 2. Both Gaga and Flo Rida were massive in 2009.

I think it's a mediocre song to be honest. I mean Gaga didn't even include it in MB. 

Gaga didn't include Summerboy either what's your jush :poot:

Summerboy is a cute song but I am glad Gaga didn't include it because Summerboy is literally a Stefani song, not a Gaga song. :nails:

Maybe but LoveGame has the iconic "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" line that so many quoted.  Also it gave birth to the disco stick!

Honestly, yes. I was actually thinking about this today too! Of course it would've done well considering it has Flo Rida on it, especially back in 2008-2009 (it even went gold in the U.S.). It should've been released after Just Dance or Poker Face, tbh. It really is one of the hits that got away from The Fame. But her career did evidently well back then even without it as a single, so it's not too big of a loss.
