First RIR being cancelled and then the European dates being postponed and us being unsure if the second run of NA shows would follow.

TheBadRomancer 1,018 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 it might have deserved more by the GP, but I would never change anything about that era or how it went down. it was such a monumental moment in time for me personally, and I'm sure for a lot of others as well. I'm glad some of it is getting attention now, but nothing will compare to when it first came out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe N 60 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think the success and longevity of Bloody Mary & Government Hooker proved how ahead of their time some of the songs on the album were and how WRONG Interscope was (as usual) for not pushing the riskier single choices. In my (probably very unpopular opinion) they should have given a **** about trying to match the success of Katy and Rihanna (cause Gaga was setting the trends at that time and trying to follow trends was pretty much what caused ARTPOP to flop). She wanted to release 9 singles...why the **** not? Artists at their peak should be allowed to do exactly that. Of course not everything will be a success but good god...she was THE BIGGEST trendsetter at that time and YouTube was the biggest media platform at the time giving music videos and singles a whole new level of importance. Before we move to the BORN THIS WAY era, I would like to present my idea of having Dance In The Dark as the final single from The Fame Monster with a video that serves as prelude to the Born This Way era. In the video Gaga would be a scientific experiment that escaped the laboratory... 2011.02.11 Born This Way Spoiler Video: Same as the released version Premiere performance: The Grammys 2011.04.15 Marry The Night Spoiler Video: Directed by Francis Lawrence, Premiere performance: The Ellen Degeneres Show 2011.05.17 Government Hooker (Promotional Single + Video) Spoiler This song is great and deserved a video. I think I would have decided on the single status of this song depending on how well it did as a promo single. Video: Directed by Nick Knight and shot during the album cover session for the Born This Way album. 2011.05.23 BORN THIS WAY 2011.06.10 The Edge of Glory Spoiler Video: Directed by Joseph Khan, Same plot as the original scrapped video Premiere performance: GNTM finale 2011.08.23 Heavy Metal Lover Spoiler This song was THE hit that got away. It's an updated Poker face and this song was unique but catchy at the same time. One of her all-time best songs! Video: A video similar to the "Muse Factory" VMA commercial, directed by the same person but they weren't credited sadly. Premiere performance: MTV VMAs 2011.10.28 Bloody Mary / Judas (Promotional Single + Video) Spoiler Neither of these would have been good single choices at that time but a promo single with a double video for Halloween? Genius! Video: Directed by Haus of Gaga (with Laurieann Gibson) 2011.11.15 Hair Spoiler This song aged like milk but it was THE **** at that time and definitely a nice single for the colder season leading up to Christmas. Video: Directed by Joseph Khan, The plot would have a Gaga-fied interpretation of the Rapunzel fairytale set in New York City. Premiere performance: MTV EMAs 2012.01.06 Scheiße Spoiler I don't have much faith in this as a single. I think it would have done well in Europe but possibly not the US. If it did well in Europe, I would have sent this to the US later on and release Yoü and I as an airplay single in the meantime. Video: Directed by Steven Klein, a dark interpretation of Alice in Wonderland story. Premiere performance: ? Yoü and I and Judas shouldn't have been main singles in my humble opinion. Judas had a great video but it was replaced rather quickly with the following single when it didn't catch on and it almost ruined the massive momentum she had just built from the lead single. Yoü and I was already known and publicly performed for a long time when that single was released. Gaga herself apparently didn't want it as a single and I can totally see why. It was more of a bonus track on the album. It's absolutely not representative of the sound of the album. The song did well in the US but it really didn't do nearly as good in most of her other markets. It would have been a much better standalone single to promote the Monster Ball film. It shouldn't have been on the album imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygato 528 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 1. Born This Way (February 2011)#1 2. Marry The Night (April 2011)#1 Album Release-May. 23. 2011 3.
