Y’all the album in general is about bringing things together that normally don’t go together. So the hard beat with the soft vocals reign supreme because of the duality 

>!if I’m being honest tho I prefer the burqa demo :sweat:!<

We already have the duality w/ the aggro verse vocals and sensual chorus tho :huh:

We have forgotten our public MANNERS

The demo’s vocals have passion + actually give a melody to the first verse. 

This. The demo's vocals are sung (aggressively, but still sung with a musical melody) while the album version's first verse is essentially just spoken.

Gaga intended it to be the lead single but Interscope wouldn't let her because the vocals were "too aggressive" for radio so they made her change them. By the time she did, Applause was already done so Interscope went for it instead and gave her only two days to plan and shoot the music video- which is pretty crazy, and was sort of the beginning of the creative differences, management and mess that would go down with this album/era.

Tbh for a long time I have said she doesn't need Interscope anymore. They have f*cked all her eras after BTW, messy releases, and imo keep her too commercial. One of the things I loved about her originally was she went against the grain and her music had a grit, substance. The direction of her 2016 self to now feels....:reductive:

Just miss her performance artist vibe and bad bitch energy. Nowadays she's just safe. I hate to say it but it's true :trollga:

Actually the final version is the “demo” version called Burqa. The leaked demo was originally the “final” and Gaga changed it back to the demo for unknown reasons.

I find it funny how her management would be okay with her to do extraordinary things like allow an artist to vomit on her in a performance or wear fake teeth etc. 
 but then say that her vocals were too aggressive for radio lol 

Like it’s so confusing?? The main lyric in ARTPOP was ‘music not the bling’. And they were so keen to make everything radio friendly

Such a shame that all these demos on ARTPOP were changed, the original Aura demo was the ultimate song to let your anger out

The label is not the reason Gaga changed the vocals. I’m sure they did not want Aura as first single - but other than wanting everything a little shorter, they were very hands off creatively (DJWS speaks to this many times).

As I mentioned above, the final album vocals were from the demo version called “Burqa”. Gaga rerecorded them with more energy, then for unknown reasons went back to the og demo vocals (minus the phrase Behind the Burqa behind the song’s chorus, understandably). All she’s said about it (I think in a tweet) is that the vocals were recorded at an “important time” in the recording process.
