papergangstas 1,364 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 So basically we all know that she smashed 'cause of JD and PF. Paparazzi and LoveGame also followed up as considered 'hits' and she was in the charts everywhere globally. But what if those songs didn't exist and she would've had to choose a lead single/second single etc.. without PF, JD, LG and Paparazzi (I also exluded Eh Eh on the list because it was a single in Europe). Would she still be the Lady Gaga we have today? One of me is wiser. One of me is stronger. One of me is a fighter, and there's a thousand faces of me, Army of me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes and 4,884 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Starstruck sold 1 million units in US without being an official single. Boys Boys Boys was the most successful a non-single song from the album either. So at least these ones could be huge. Did you think I'd show up in a limousine?

Snorlax 5,932 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Starstruck would have fit the music scene perfectly in 2008. Today, not so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 25,043 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think none of these songs have as much power as Just Dance/Poker Face... so nop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it above the poll, but basically would she still have had her breakthrough in 2009 with one (or several) songs off of The Fame that are not the singles she released back then. (Let's just say PF, JD, Paparazzi and Lovegame never existed and she released TF without them.) One of me is wiser. One of me is stronger.

Maybe if she released for example Starstruck as the lead single, promoted it like she did with Just Dance, and made a music video for it? I read that Starstruck was planned to be the original 2nd single but they scrapped that idea when the label heard Poker Face, so idk... One of me is wiser. One of me is stronger.

It was only present in the American version released in October. The original version of the album was released in August without Starstruck and Paper Gangsta, those songs came later.
