Then I suggest you stop paying so close attention lol. Do you enjoy the song? If the answer is yes... then nothing really else matters lol.

It would be idiotic to push the release of the MV up. She'll get plenty of streaming from the audio and lyric video.

 

Plus it's debuting on GMA on Monday, so it's not like it's even a possibility.

Because Interscope is cheap as f*** and thought the song would have enough power to gain enough spins on its own.

 

Yeah, I can't believe they thought a one-day deal would be okay.

 

On the other hand, this song is ****ing amazing on the radio. Has anyone actually been in the car listening to the radio when Applause has come on? It's just so infectious and fresh and amazing. It doesn't even sound out of place or foreign or anything. It fits perfectly, and it sounds like something the GP should be eating up.

 

I just don't understand why stations aren't giving it more spins.

Meanwhile, I can't believe the lyric video didn't help sales  :noparty: I'm praying to god the next update is green.

I don't think it should have been a single.

 

A) It's not relatable.
B) You can't even make out what she is saying in the chorus.
C) Anyone could have sang it. It doesn't have that GaGa vibe.

 

Whereas Katy, she has the opposite as listed above...

Yes and I agree it does sounded amazing :legend: I know Gaga thinks it sounds the best with headphones, but I thought it sounded even better on the radio :oops:

It has a complete Gaga vibe, you can easily make it out once you've heard it a few times, and it's catchy as ****. Not every song needs to be relatable (aka about love) if its catchy and dancey and fun.

On C you're saying that only Katy could sing Roar? Brave tho.

I also think that the reason there is a lyric video is for B so that's not really a problem now.

Do y'all not get that this is a completely different scenario than BR? :duck:

 

Well it's not like she wasn't popular... I was just trying to lighten the mood a little. Ya'll are such Debbie Downers :noparty:

It sounds way better on the radio than it does in headphones, imo. I just can't get over how amazing it sounds. I've been in the car with two different groups of friends so far, and it came on, and everyone agreed that it's really good. 

 

And considering how high the song's airplay is, compared to its spin count, shows that people are listening to it when it comes on. But radio isn't playing it enough, and I honestly don't understand why. Maybe it'll keep getting strong updates throughout the next few weeks? I'm really going to stay positive from now on, because I do think this is one of Gaga's best singles and I do think it'll be a hit. It's just going to take more time than we're used to I think.
