Bowie 4 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 My fan-made artwork for the BTW Era. Explained below: If you were Gaga/Interscope, would you have managed the "Born This Way" era differently, and how successful would it have been? On this thread you can post your own fan-made artworks, promotional posters etc. For example, this is how I would have managed the era: N.B. I colourised and edited all of these images myself. It was my first time doing something like this so any feedback would be greatly accepted. Thank-you :) LEAD SINGLE: "BORN THIS WAY" RELEASE DATE: 1ST JANUARY 2011 BRIEF NOTES: Gaga premieres the music video on Christmas Day as a present for her fans.

Dodo 313 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 not bad, but what is till i die should have been princess die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie 4 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 not bad, but what is till i die should have been princess die. It's like my own made-up Gaga song that would appear on the platinum edition of born this way in my version of the btw era. I just thought it sounded quite intriguing. Princess Die fits with the themes of the next one so it wouldn't appear on the new version. (Most of the songs on my platinum edition would be "outtakes" of BTW. For example, SOFY would also be on plat. edition :) :rockstar: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FameWhore 1 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This would have slayed . WHY DIDN'T GAGA MAKE SHEISSE A SINGLE :giveup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie 4 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 This would have slayed . WHY DIDN'T GAGA MAKE SHEISSE A SINGLE Thanks so much! I've been working on this for nearly a month :) She didn't make it a single as MTN flopped. Interscope told her she needed to cut it short. That's why she'd started performing HML & Scheisse - they were intended to be 6th & 7th singles, respectively. But she cut the era short. That's what I've heard. :cryga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen 29,430 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Dubstep is tacky. Re-releases are tacky. You can't release a video before the single because people would rip the audio and it would affect sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as far as I remember lol). Oh yes The Fame Monster was out so the song was available! Sorry :sweat: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen 29,430 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So TFM was tacky? No, because Gaga considered it an album on its own. 4 new songs and 10 remixes isn't a new album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie 4 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 No, because Gaga considered it an album on its own. 4 new songs and 10 remixes isn't a new album. I know, but surely it's good for those few who have not listened to the music of the era to get them interested; plus a re-release helps to provide promo e.g. for a tour or regular tv appearance etc. Many re-releases have reached the top ten.
