So whats the general consensus of Applause? Did you guys like what you heard? For those of you who listened.

I like Applause, from what I heard. I'm hoping though that the "I love for the Applause" part is some kind of pre-chorus or build up to the chorus. I just don't understand the drop-out and monotone vocals if it is the chorus. It should go much harder than that.

 

Still better than Roar though. Roar isn't even better than Brave. lol.

 

I feel bad for Katy though. If they have to release it tomorrow, it has no chance of going #1, at least not for awhile.

 

Let's just pray to god that Applause won't leak, or at least won't leak until the end of next week. I really want Interscope to keep it to the 19th. If it leaks in the next 24 hours, I'm afraid they'll have no choice but to rush-release it on Monday.

I love how applause gonna sound.

The live for applause part is definitely a prechorus. it wouldnt fit as the chorus tbh unless the post chorua is even more anthemic and catchier

Yeah the "I live for the applause" is the pre-chorus because it starts with the verse beat. Love her monotone voice for that part, so smooth.

That's what I was thinking. And hoping. lol. If so, it sounds like the perfect pre-chorus. And it's catchy. And it makes me look forward to hearing the chorus. Ahhhh this is going to be such a refreshing song to hear on the radio. Especially compared to Roar - Roar is a good song, but it's going to fit in TOO perfectly on the radio, to the point where it'll feel like I've heard it a thousand times after I've heard it just a few times.

agree.

If they release it to iTunes tomorrow, it'll get most of its "first week" sales out of the way. If Applause leaks and they release it to iTunes on Monday, Gaga will still get all of those "first week" sales during its first-week, which means she would definitely beat Katy, and would still have a great chance at snatching #1. 

 

So if anything, all it means is Applause comes a week early. I still don't want that to happen, though. It's all just so messy.

It is incredibly hard to judge based on just a few seconds, but so far I'm preferring the verse to the pre-chorus or whatever that is. It sounds a bit generic production wise… Not particularly impressed yet.

I liked what I heard and I'm super excited to hear the rest of the chorus and the rest of the song!

Agreed. Not impressed, but not judging the song yet. I'll see when it's all out.

Couldn't agree more about what you said on how fresh it is compared to ROAR. I'm already over ROAR it's not even a grower it just lacks of substance.

I like the prochorus more than the verse, but still like the verse really much !

I agree, the instrumentals seemed so normal bases on a suppose ultimate EDM album. Maybe there's a huge breakdown or maybe the chorus is mostly instrumental but so far it's her singing that makes the song great, and not the production ! Still extremely optimistic about it !

Won't it have a horrible debut then? a SUNDAY release?

 

 

hence the :excited2:

 

 

Say goodbye to #1 second week Katy then.

 

I don't see the song dethroning BL now that it leaked / planning on a sunday digital release. It is like the worst day to release a song if you want a high debut on charts.

So what? The song will likely reach #1 when its airplay has peaked which probably won't be for at least another month. There's no chance she'll go #1 anytime soon unless she sells at least 700k in a week which isn't likely.

Covering financial losses and preventing as many people as possible from illegally downloading it > a #1 debut

I know this is off topic, but does gifting a song on iTunes to someone else count as a separate sale? I know buying it multiple times on your own account doesn't work, but I have over $100 worth of iTunes gift cards. I was wondering if I could gift it to friends during the first week.

That wouldn't work even if gifting does count because itunes gift cards can't be used to gift. Sorry. :(
