How? I only remember people going like "oh wow, THIS again?" Alejandro was controversial I agree and popular but Judas felt like a blip at the time. Maybe it was the overexposure and people saw through its marketing ploy, idk. Fans always blow things out of proportion, especially the Judas "controversy". Born This Way was more controversial and stood out, with its strange production and the horns/alien beings in the video. I remember people being creeped out and genuinely saying "she looks evil". With Judas? Nothing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura was supposed to be the lead, but the safest song on the album made it instead. Perfect Illusion was one of the weakest songs on Joanne, but still a safe choice because they were scared to put out a ballad or a riskier song as the lead. Stupid Love - some of Gaga's simplest and least meaningful lyrics, simple melody, safe af. When they had songs like Rain On Me, Alice, Replay, Enigma, 911. PI was absolutely not the safe choice for lady gaga's return to pop after ARTPOP and acting mother, what must i do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEANUS 15,429 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Ehhhh You could consider Just Dance, LoveGame, Bad Romance, Alejandro, Born This Way, Judas, and Perfect Illusion all risky choices. If they were staying on current trends when launching The Fame they could’ve pushed Starstruck. LoveGame had the very plain and obvious innuendos. Bad Romance was very “strange” and a big turn from the airyness of Paparazzi. Alejandro wasn’t as obvious of a choice as DITD or Monster. Born This Way is obvious. Judas is obvious. Perfect Illusion is pretty obvious as well. Stans would’ve been more into John Wayne or DIC British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa 19,703 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I reject the premise that "most" of her singles are safe, but at the end of the day, what exactly are you expecting? She's not some indie experiential artist, she's a popstar on a major label. They're ALWAYS going to be pushing singles that they hope appeal to the broadest audience, that's how they make money. The artist's input and vision only mean so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fame in general, different vibe than was successful, then Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro, pushing the envelope more. Then Born This Way, opposite of safe, celebrating gays in 2011. then Judas, on Easter, very unsafe. Then Applause, a song that starts off loud as f*ck and is frenetic etc Exactly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,135 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 This I have to disagree with. Like most people said, songs like Bad Romance, Alejandro, Born This Way, Judas and Perfect Illusion are NOT safe by any means. Sh*t even songs like PF aren’t safe because of what the song is actually about. The only safe ones are like Stupid Love & Rain On Me. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views!

Ziggy 11,960 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I feel like early on the biggest critique was just that. The music wasn’t as weird as her clothes. but that was also the point?? Be commercial but unique but to those saying they were risky, the singles weren’t. From the body of music each album had the singles were nearly always the obvious singles. That’s okay! Great songs 💕 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
