nATAH 43,150 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 "Interscope Records intended "Dance in the Dark" to be the third single from The Fame Monster, but Gaga insisted on "Alejandro" source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_in_the_Dark so i had no clue Alejandro was gaga's choice and the label wanted DITD instead do you think gaga was right in the long run or would DITD been the better single choice? does DITD work better as a fan favourite or would the music video have been less scary and controversial? mother, what must i do?

monstrosity 3,927 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Gaga was right. Sorry interscops! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOK 76,406 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 imo I was disappointed that telephone was single no.2 when alejandro was clearly the poker face of the era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleGAGA 387 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 All is as it should be, she was right. The video was shocking at the time.. and perfect. The choreography is iconic. It was just enough Gaga for the GP to get with it. Dance in the Dark is ours and ours alone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 71,402 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Gaga was right but Interscope should've pushed harder for single no 4 </3 imagine the music video.. the budget, the scariness, the fashion, girlies.. the "silicone, saline, poison" would've been her best visuals ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 10,767 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Alejandro is the better choice. Dance in the dark is a great song but tbh for single material alejandro has way more hooks and sounds good regardless of what you’re hearing out of (radio speaker, headphones, laptop, etc.) dance in the dark has a lot of production elements that could sound kinda cluttered on a radio signal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFame Monster 8,779 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Used to prefer DITD, but Alejandro has held up better and sounds more hit worthy. Gaga was right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygato 455 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Alejandro I feel most of the time Gaga and team have been half/half on single choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 14,319 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Alejandro was definitely the right choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 36,031 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Alejandro is super catchy and worked better as a single. This comes from someone whose favorite song was Dance In The Dark (til Scheiße was released) and I'm glad it worked that way. She also seemed to want to push Speechless just to see if it'd stick but they probably didn't want to extend The Fame Monster cycle that long to work on Born This Way instead.

Catnikko 13,927 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Alejandro is one of her most recognisable songs she was right in the choice, wrong in the choice of video (as good as it is) it should've been a colorful song-length summer video but that's just my opinion https://linktr.ee/jamalholt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatelynnMarie 4,266 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 gaga made the right choice here to me. as much as ditd is one of my all time faves and how badly i wanted a video for it, alejandro was the best choice for a single out of the two.
