Drin Lon 7,875 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 So... For a start, I just wanna say that I love BTW, both the song and the album, and I think BTW did great as the lead. The reasons it plummeted so fast from the charts after it dropped from #1 was most likely because Interscope started pushing Judas on radio instead (and that was a mess) so radio dropped both songs that's also the reason why TEOG was not touched by radio for half of its chart run . But....BTW was too basic sonically, it was nothing new coming from Gaga, especially from an album that was supposed to be the voice of our generation And the Express Yourself similarities didn't help either I mean, the song wasn't even sent to the Grammys because of that So I think TEOG would have been a much smarter choice. It managed to smash even after the Judas mess As the lead it would have clearly done better too it was such an organic smash, I can only imagine how it would have been if Interscope had given it the same treatment they gave to BTW . Less backlash, more acclaim, better video and x6 Platinum single confirmed I'm serious tbh And guess what that would have meant real competition for Rolling In The Deep for SOTY/ROTY I mean, yeah, now RITD is x8 Platinum, but it also has a video with 1.1B views. Unless they haven't updated the song's certs since 2012, that x8P cert is clearly counting streaming too. So correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be around x6 Platinum counting only pure sales till 2012, right I'm sure TEOG could have gone x6P had it been the lead and you can't tell me that Rolling In The Deep is better than TEOG, even if you're not a LM so yeah, I think that TEOG as the lead could have been a real frontrunner for ROTY at least So overall, I think it's clear why TEOG would have been a wiser choice BTW could have been the 2nd single, a lot of artists have released the title tracks of their albums as 2nd singles to help sell the album better, and it has proven effective. The EY comparisons wouldn't have been that big either cause it's not like BTW was the lead single What do you hunties think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMonster20 9,858 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Would be pretty amazing actually💜 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthen 4,621 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 "more acclaim,...and x6 Platinum single confirmed" Would've been called a TFM reboot by the GP. I don't like BTW besides maybe Scheiße, but I think BTW as lead was a slightly wiser choice. It solidified her LGBT icon status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzo 9,639 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 agreed I love btw but TEOG would've started the era differently, like literally everyone likes that song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yes it would been amazing, it is my favorite song of gaga of all time and would been perfect lead. tbh i don't even like born this way that much, i mostly just support it because it's great message. TEOG should atleast been followed by btw as the 2nd single, we would had atlest 2 #1 during btw era if that happend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delulu Rogers 7,235 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 TEOG tho is what saved the era midway through. What would have happened if it was the lead instead, and then they still decided to release judas as the second single? I doubt any other song, even BTW, would have made a bigger impact than TEOG to save her from all that backlash and controversy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 1. BTW (released like it was) 2.TEOG (instead of Judas 3.Schisse (released as 3rd single after the album in time for the summer, VMA peformance) 4. MTN (for fall/winter, pretty much like it was released but with a short video version on vevo and released to radio earlier) There we have a perfect era with 4 top 3 singles She could have keept the era going in 2012 with singles and videos during the tour. 5. Yoü and i, last single before the tour. Grammy peformance. 6. Hair, last radio single+ a video 7. A video for Heavy metal lover as a treat for the fans while waiting for ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
