MonsterofFame 1,780 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 With all this talk about ARTPOP, it has me thinking again about how the complete removal of Do What U Want from the album doesn't seem right. I fully support the removal of the version with R Kelly, but she should've replaced it with the duet version with Xtina. And I believe there was a solo version floating around? The song was a single and a core part of Gaga's message about the media and her fame at the time, and removing it entirely feels a bit like erasing history.

bionic 45,323 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 All versions will still allow R Kelly to profit from songwriting credits, from what I'm told on here. That said, I voted 'add back'. stream ritacadabra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delulu Rogers 7,071 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 She always should have just replaced it with the Christina version back in 2014. But now that she’s removed it, to add it back now just seems in poor taste Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaSine 7,464 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I love that song, the message and heart of the song is beautiful. Shame it was tainted by R Kelly but both the solo and Christina version are excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMonster20 9,788 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yes, the solo version was great and the lyrics made more sense. It’s such an amazing song so I would love for it to return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 As someone already said, R. Kelly would still get the profits from any other version. So no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausofGabo 1,242 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think she did it for the right reasons so I stand by her removing it. But I think she should have replaced it with another song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsomniaMonster69 3,120 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I mean.... it's a bop and it's a highlight from ARTPOP. But the song was deleted for a reason! I don't think that it should be added back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 25,996 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 No. That sexual predator will still profit off of other versions. It sucks because it’s a great song, but she’s doing what is ethical. It’d be great though if she gave us an unreleased track to replace it.

lilboyblue 4,091 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Only if it's a version that does not benefit R. Kelly. It's a matter of principle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
