She has like five better lead singles

Clears Applause and Stupid Love, to be sure.

Yes, but only thanks to the lyrics

Yeah, clears the ever loving **** out of Applause, I fear. The reheated JD/PF type synth lead, clunky pseudo intellectual lyrics? It’s decent, but probably one of the weaker songs on the album overall and easily one of her weakest leads (second worst single on the album, only after G.U.Y). Good video, though!

Just Dance and Poker Face’s synths sound nothing alike, let alone Applause’s :deadbanana: and if you’re referring to a short and repeated catchy instrumental melody, then know that Perfect Illusion has one too :ororomunroe: Now if anything, Applause sounds closer to Perfect Illusion than it does to Poker Face, undeniably has better lyrics than Just Dance (and Stupid Love obviously). 
Perfect Illusion is the little almost analog depressed sister of the EDM celebratory Applause.

They so don’t :laughga: Poker Face has like a distorted organ/bass driven low main synth (throughout most of the song) while Just Dance has a high piched video-game-like synth that only plays in the intro and quietly in the chorus

No, I’m referring to the staccato synth leads at the beginning of each song (which PI doesn’t have). I’m also not saying those types of synth leads are categorically bad, it just feels very obvious to me that Applause was trying to recapture that same sound in a way that I think wasn’t incredibly successful. Applause sounds absolutely nothing like PI btw. Like in what world? Completely different tonal centers, different synths, different types of melodies, different structures. Sister, we’ve got to be real here.

One thing I love (?) about this site is it’s uncanny ability to get me to pick apart songs I like to defend other songs that I like from critiques I disagree with.

Just now found out there are people who don’t like PI… 

Always thought it was an obvious great song ?

I personally don't like the Kevin Parker Demi because it's more, well, Tame Impala ft. Lady Gaga

I think Gaga could do magic with it if she worked with him alone, because she would get into his head, she would understand his artistry and then will Gaga it.. Ronson and BP only interfered this connection.

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy
