Why Stupid Love makes so much sense as a lead single

This has nothing to do with the discussion but when Gaga said ARTPOP was the album of the millenium she was being sarcastic due to backlash she received from saying a similar thing to Born This Way (album), she never said it in a serious tone.

Yeah but the fans and critics have already received the impression that ARTPOP was supposed to be revolutionary. It doesn't matter what her intention or tone was, the impact was already on the audience.

First Just Dance is NOT far simpler than Stupid Love. Y’all seem to forget one of the quirkiest bridges I’ve ever heard in a number 1 pop song-the half psychotic sick hypnotic part. Y’all love to denigrate the clever lyrics and wordplay of Just Dance, BR, and PF to make Stupid Love seem better in comparison. Let’s not. You can’t zoom in on ANY part of the Stupid Love lyrics (granted it’s the leak and not necessarily final version) and find any clever, cool, even remotely interesting Gaga esque lyrics.

Second, no one is asking for lyrics discussing climate change and ending poverty or weird ass metaphors for some lyrical depth. With Gaga though, there is an expectation that even with ready made dance bops, there is some underlying theme or message. The lyrics don’t have that kind of depth, whether you take them at face value or try to reach and inject meaning into them. 

Third I’m going to wait for the official release of this to cast a final judgement even though a part of me deep down really hopes this isn’t the lead and is part of some elaborate marketing stunt.

Same tbh :poot: even though I’m warming up to it  the song seems so empty and lazily written and the beat carries it more than the lyrics tbh...

I mean, Just Dance, Bad Romance and Perfect Illusion have even more stupid lyrics than Stupid Love

Agree. When people talk about simple lyrics, I'm like...um, I love Bad Romance, but it is not lyrically complex and Just Dance is far "simpler" than Stupid Love. Simple and catchy is frankly what "sells," and it doesn't mean a song can't be a banger.

Also, I follow several entertainment/etc. journos on twitter—who have big accounts —and 5 out of 7 of them love it. Ira Madison is the biggest deal, because he has a VERY popular podcast—if Gaga drops it on Thursday he'll definitely mention it on there and that can get the song some more attention. And I think people need to chill about negative tweets. The vast majority are positive, but Gaga's always been polarizing so there are always going to be some people who just don't like her music. I feel like there's some revisionist history going on with fans where they think everyone was in love with The Fame and TFM—there were definitely some detractors back then even about Bad Romance and Poker Face.

I think it’s her best lead since BTW.

Applause and Perfect Illusion had awkward lyrics sometimes and I would feel a little embarrassed playing them in certain settings. Stupid Love is easy on the ears, somewhat basic, but the production is clean. The lyrics aren’t distracting or hard to interpret, and it’s dancey. 

Is it her strongest? No. But it’s def an ear worm.

BYE

She wants to show the world that when they think they know Lady Gaga, they really don’t :giveup: 

I can already see the slayage of getting some commercial singles while the album will have tracks like this master piece:

What if they’ve decided to change the lead single to something else and they are just trolling us for not addressing us for what’s going on?! :udidnt:
