AmenTheNight 1,084 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm starting to get really pissed at you all for saying that Applause is flopping/underperforming/not doing as good as expected. BTW clearly damaged the way people consider her as an artist, she acknowledged it herself with her "Stop the drama" video. Did you expect her to skyrocket with Applause like she did with BTW ? I didn't. The anticipation for BTW was very high, TFM smashed, she was promoted everywhere, the competition was not very important, and moreover, the date was on everyone's mind and was respected since nothing leaked. She had all the factors to smash like never before. We all know the way BTW era happened. She has almost none of the factors BTW had, that's the opposite actually. Compare the factors I listed before with Applause's situation, and you'll see that everything is different now. But Applause has something that BTW had not ; its commercial appeal. You need to give time to Applause, let her promote it, and you'll see that Applause will do very well. The lyrics video is coming, the real video too, a radio deal will certainly start, the VMAs performance, and countless promotion spots after that. The monsters are the ones building her current lead on the charts, we're waiting for the GP to help us. It takes time and promotion to build a new image that people will love. We'll talk about how Applause is a flop in two months if it hasn't sold more than 1 million copies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khanhle 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) 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. This! For me, it took me 3 weeks to realized how much i love Poker Face, which become my most favorite song (all time) , after that i listened Poker Face for 2 months with no tired, i just kept replay and replay. It the same to other song: 1 week for Tik Tok, 2 weeks for Party in the USA, 1 week for Alejandro, 2 week for You belong with me ....etc :))), all of that become my most listen song (usually after i saw the video, so i think the video will help a lot) But i havent see any one like me, until i saw your comment. Are there just us?. Do you like Aura, scheisee, DITD? Right now, i keep replay Applause slowly, and the good news is it keep going better and better. And if it dont in future, so what, i dont see any problems ( except a little sad, maybe :). Gaga is an artist, she can do whatever she wants, number one pop star, cant you see how success she is? Isnt that enough? Edited August 14, 2013 by khanhle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaOral 1,322 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I didn't know they played lyric videos on TV Yeah it's the first time I've seen a lyrics video on tv aswel.
