Starstruck = potential hit back then?

Starstruck, the track on The Fame that has a collaboration w/ Flo Rida and Space Cowboy, which was supposed to be the second single off the album but the label chose Poker Face instead and became her best-selling single (14M). Did it have potential? On what placement does it should receive? Should it have been replaced Eh, Eh?

It surely had Flo Rida on the track and he was a hit back then. 

(I'm bored :triggered:)

This is also for letting me know if it really fits the single treatment.

It should have been a single. 10M.plus for sure. Cause its a solid pop song with Florida's power at that time would have slayed everyone. 

Its one of those rear songs where verse packs a punch more than chorus

I always wanted Starstruck to follow Poker Face.

Not only was Flo Rida huge and churning out hits, but the song had such a massive appeal with casual pop fans, it had all the makings of being a smash. And although LoveGame is my favorite single from that era, Starstruck had the potential to keep the momentum of JD/PF.

Replacing it w/ Eh Eh......No. the reason is that Gaga needed some balled type song as a single. and neeed a change from dance pop
