The Weeknd was pretty unknown at the time but he would have made the song better than anybody else. Their world building is so similar I don’t understand why a collab between both of them is taking so long.

it is crazy… I thought the same thing when Gaga released DWAS - Requiem Version - Weeknd is obsessed with that sound

None of the above. I truly believe it should have been solo. None of the listed artists would have been a positive collab for me with this song. I like several of the artists, just not for this. Also JT would have been controversial as well given his own drama

Usher was registered to be on the song, not sure if he actually recorded it but I'd like to hear that :neyde:

Where was this mentioned?

I know people are gonna be like "oh her voice isn't strong enough", but I don't care.

100% Britney Spears. The lyrics fit Britneys career just as perfectly as Lady Gagas.

I don’t think he had any drama at that time… I mean he’s not a perfect dude for sure, but he was not involved in criminal or crazy toxic behavior

It should’ve been the solo version, but if I were to choose someone from the poll it would be Usher

He had a pretty solid chart run up to that point and they could have released a nice video with great choreo 

Reading this thread opened my mind to a Michael feature, that would have been AWESOME on DWUW

Rihanna on Sexxx Dreams as well, do you guys wonder what happened for it not to be released/recorded? 

It would make so much sense considering they wanted a hit on ARTPOP

At the time of its release DWUW was considered a misstep for Gaga - because of R. Kelly controversy, plus messy MV which ended up being scrapped altogether.

Eventually Gaga removed DWUW from the album entirely - even though it was always fans’s favorite!

So, who should’ve been featured instead on the song? Someone who could’ve made song a hit it deserved to be? And of course - someone who wouldn’t need to be scrapped from the album lol

Was it? People love DWUW and it was gearing up to be a smash. Cut at the knees b/c of that music video.

I was surprised Abel wasn’t on it! Like, he was on the rise during that time.

Miguel easily!! Y'all sleeping on his voice big time. He's got the grit and character.

Abel a bit too whiny overall.
