ooooooops 0 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I do NOT want two singles before the album. Me neither. Unfortunately a lot of artists (or their labels rather) feel like they have to release half their freakin' albums as promotion before it drops. Like what they did with all those songs before BTW. Hope they resist the urge this time around! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jeans 3,815 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I do NOT want two singles before the album. Me neither, i feel like it's coming though.... Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they resist the urge this time around! This. If the lead single is THAT good that they picked it out last year and still haven't changed, then it will have longevity and a 2nd single is useless.

ryhanna 3,507 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 No one's saying that Burqa will be a ****ty song or anything though :roll: just that it's likely to cause a ****storm among religious people like Judas :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone think a song called "Bloody Mary" was going to be a brooding song about Religious storylines based on the title alone? I don't think so.

Burqa and Judas are both obvious religious references. I don't get what's so hard to understand about why it'd probably cause controversy :toofunny: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
croboy 1,212 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I am very excited about Burqa. But no matter what the lyrics are really about you know that there will be huge drama just because of the name itself. So we will see.

Hope they resist the urge this time around! That only happened with BTW because Judas started getting criticism for being about Judas and thus starting to drop rapidly in America.. so they rush released TEOG and then the video got all screwed up lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the very word 'burqa' may generate controversy as she'll be using it in the song. Unless its 'Your burqa is sweet and pretty'. Nevertheless, she'll be appropriating culture/religion. Though that's extremely common nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryhanna 3,507 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 . It could be about something else tho Yeah, it absolutely could be. Judas was a metaphor. But the fact is, religious extremists aren't going to see a title like that and be like "wow, I'll wait and see what that song's about before I judge it." They'll be "HOW DARE SHE SPAWN OF SATAN" :toofunny: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of other artists have done it, though: P!nk put her entire flippin' album on YouTube like two weeks before it dropped, so I was like "okay, so now that I've heard the whole thing... *doesn't buy*" I'm such a good fan XD .

I mean, the same Christians who were offended by Judas are also pretty anti-Muslim, just from my own experiences and observations.

In this country, we don't really treat all religions with the same level of respect Someone would make an uproar about it, whether they legit care or not. Muslims are often discriminated against, so I'm sure there would be people of Muslim culture who will also assume it's a hate track. (I am excited for Burqa though btw, just being realistic about the public reception it'll probably get) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Jax 552 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I still think there will be one single before the album drops. (Maybe another promotional single but not an actual one). I think they know the lead single will be so huge and will remain popular for months (like bad romance) hence why there is a big gap between the single and the album.
