Applause is among her best songs, it's just such a fun song everyone can relate to. Gypsy might be cool but kinda too cringey for my taste.

It would have done better than A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E for sure! Back in the day i was a new fan, and didn't understand what is she talking about in the verses;-

"If only fame had an IV baby could I bear" , i was like she needs an IV drip!:saladga:

How to kill your career 101: release a song titled after what most people think is a slur as your lead single from an already controversial album 

I think it's more a cultural thing because here in the UK self referring as a Gypsy is quite common especially in Northern Ireland and the North East of the UK. I understand why it would be a slur in like what? Romania idk really.

OT: It probably would've been head-to-head with Roar but then we wouldn't have had the beautiful music video and all the amazing performances

No. Apart from the acoustic version and the first verse it is a downgrade from anything else she has ever down in terms of pop music.

Only if it was trimmed a bit. I really like the song but some of the production sounds...cheesy. If it was more acoustic it would have been better. It is still a great track though.

I think Applause was a good lead single. It had a couple of odd references in the lyrics, but overall I think it was a good choice. I'm 100% convinced Gypsy should've been a single, though. In my opinion that's the biggest missed opportunity in her whole discography :giveup:

Applause was trully a wtf choice, a song that noone can relate to, a song that asks for attention literally, the lyrics during the verses are cringe af, i still struggle to figure out why people like it at all.:interestinga:

You can not hide if nobody pays attention to you :*

What is the fascination this fan base has with this song? I don’t understand the hype over Gypsy. 😕

No, I think Applause was the best choice. 

Because Gypsy is like one of the most GP-friendly (in terms of sound) tracks on the album... I also loved Applause as a lead but Gypsy could've be a great single (I think the singles were good, anyways but they could've done a better job with the era)

I continuously believe it is meant to be a double meaning lyric

 

1. She needs an IV drip to stay alive - reference to her injury

 

2. If only fame had a FOURTH - as in ARTPOP bc it was her fourth album.

:pawsup:yessss as a Little Gypsy-er, that would’ve been iconic.

 

:huntyga:as a Little Manager, I think Applause was still the best choice for radio & fan appeal success. The best choice would have been: 

Applause for lead in the summer

 

MANiCURE for promo single to keep up hype

 

drop album with Gypsy for single 2, massive winter hit likely - Grammys performance

 

Venus for single 3 around Valentine’s Day 

 

surprise Donatella / Fashion! mv with a announcement

 

GUY for single 4 in the spring 

 

I Wanna Be With You for single 5 - essentially a tour promo single w performance vid
