Spaceman 2 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 "growing" ? its declining!!!!!!! and honestly i dont hear any revolutionary sound in applause! i like dance in the dark, and Alejandro better. i dont say its not a good songs, but after listening to the DEMO of burqua, im sure gaga has some better songs on ARTPOP that could smash us Yeah, it's declining but I think it can make it with the video release, the vma's, promo, and radio plays Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepeepz 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Relax, Monsters. "Applause" is not the instant day-of smash we expect from Gaga, but it has tremendous growing power...like most of Gaga's biggest hits, I was doubtful upon first listen and grew to love it over multiple. Everyone I have played it for has, on first listen, said they thought it sounded "thin and generic". BUT - they all have wanted to give it a second chance. Upon second/third listens, people keep singing it...but what's more than just singing it in their heads....they want to actually hear it again and again. The song is pop perfection in that it has multiple brain sucking hooks...(to-UCH, applause-plause, put your hands up, turn the lights down, the chord progressions)...it does NOT leave your head. But it's not INSTANTLY likable...it takes a couple listens. And radio is and always has been behind Gaga because she's so nice. For example - take Britney's "Hold it Against Me" - huge smash in the first week, crashed otherwise....because it relied on Britney nostalgia to sell it rather than actual pop hooks. "Till the World Ends" did better because it was slowly infections and had great hooks. One of my co-workers pointed out "Paparazzi" today...which he thought we terrible and generic upon first/second listen but the video drew him in ad the song stuck in his brain after that. "Applause" will rule. The song is a huge smash. It just needs time to nest. And the video will help too. So much tea here :trootea: though you can't blame us for trying to speed up the "nesting" time, it's just a marvelous showcase of how genuinely we want her to succeed.

heavymlover 340 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 "growing" ? its declining!!!!!!! and honestly i dont hear any revolutionary sound in applause! i like dance in the dark, and Alejandro better. i dont say its not a good songs, but after listening to the DEMO of burqua, im sure gaga has some better songs on ARTPOP that could smash us Her lead singles are not necessarily her best songs. TF's fan favorites are Poker Face and Paparazzi TFM's fan favorite is Dance in the Dark or Alejandro (Although in this case, Bad Romance is arguably one of the favorite songs). BTW's fan favorite is Sheisse or The Edge of Glory. I'm pretty sure there are better songs than Applause in ARTPOP. Gaga pretty much confirmed that during her interview with Ryan (when she said that Applause almost didn't make it into the final cut). However, even if Aura might be catchier than Applause, we all know that it's not as radio friendly as the lead single. I'm not saying that I don't feel bad for Applause not being #1, but at this point I'm pretty aware that America is not ready for Gaga as much as other big markets like Japan, for example.

chiuga 1,967 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I thin u guys are overestimating Japan. Gaga is without a doubt the most popular foreign singer in Japan but in comparison with local artists she still not as big and a foreign artist getting a number1 single in Japan is very rarely heard of Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward T 2,146 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This is too much craziness for day 1. I'm done. It's time to just enjoy the music and stop worrying about the #1s. If the song is that great, it will hit #1s naturally. If it doesn't, at least we have another great song by our lovely Lady . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomastheMonster 288 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 ugh this whole situation is stressing me out tbqmfh. idk why it bothers me so much that gaga is not number one. 2 of the other people i stan for are NEVER on the radio unless it's a **** remix. i just want her to be #1 in America or at least be #2 without declining!

You just said if a song is great, it'll go #1. But then again, even if it doesn't it's still great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
