Gaga to let fans pick second single

I'm over the holier than thou notion that Lady Gaga is somehow above a chart topping single because shes better than that and makes substantial pop music that exceeds commercial expectations.

 

If you want her to continue making grand commercial pop music her way she needs to also be successful on a grand scale.

 

you really don't have to be psychic to be able to tell that MANiCURE would not fare well to todays top 40 listening audience.

It's not holier than thou to say we should focus on enjoying the music more than her charting. Gaga herself has been trying to get that message through.

"I try to sell myself but I am really laughing because I just love the music not the bling."

Im blonde, I'm skinny, I'm rich, and I'm a little bit of a bitch.

I do enjoy her music. However MANiCURE reminds me of Hair, its cheesey and I don't think it will appeal to a broad audience. Besides, Applause utilized a similar stomp track. Something more chilled out for the second single makes better sense.

To anyone that thinks Sex Dreams wouldn't do well because the verses are "too dirty" or whatever, this is lyrics from MANiCURE..

 

"Touch me, in the dark

Put your hands all over my body parts

Throw me, on the bed

Squeeze, tease, and please do what I said"

 

How is that any less s-xually explicit?

 

I cannot relate to the first verse in MANiCURE at all. I am not a cross dresser. I will be sorely disappointed if it is made a single, and like others have said, it reminds me of Hair, which is my least favorite track off of Born This Way tbh.

omg at all the people saying the GP would eat MANiCURE up. :wtf: :wtf:  Ya'll have no idea what you talking about.

 

Adele approves.... Her diamond-selling "21" album says hello.  :ohwell:  Plus, the song is so much fun and the lyrics are not pretentious at all, which is one reason I think "Applause" is not connecting so much with the GP.

I think MANiCURE would make a good single eventually. Maybe not the second single, but it's definitely very catchy and would sound good on radio. It's probably the safest track we've heard so far.

Sex Dreams would not be met with heavy criticism nor would it flop.

Swine hardly sounds radio appropriate.

 

It's a song about wet dreams and masturbation. Instant flop.

 

Now don't get me wrong... I love the song. A lot, actually. But some songs are not meant to be singles. Just as Heavy Metal Lover (one of my favorites from BTW) would have never made it as a single. The world isn't quite ready for that **** yet. I mean, ****. Applause we being censored on many radio stations at first for crying out loud. You think Sex Dreams wouldn't?

 

Swine is radio gold! It's fun and super dancey. It's not too vulgar or obscene and it's intelligent enough to live up to the ARTPOP name.

Duly noted. I think all of the options she gave us are great in different ways. I just don't think it's a life or death thing even in terms of Gaga's career. Even after hearing only right half the album, it's clear that there's plenty of great material on ARTPOP and if her second single didn't smash, there are still lots of other options for future singles.

 All you queens who think MANiCURE will be "eaten up by THE GP" have NO idea what you're talking about. The song is gay as hell. Most of the population ISN'T gay. :wtf: The first verse is cringe worthy - "Put some lipstick on, perfume your neck and slip your high heels on"... what the ****? :eww: :eww:

I personally think that Swine would be one hell of an amazing single. It would be strange, yet ultra-catchy, addictive and infectious. Just like Bad Romance shocked, amazed, and impacted the world, so could Swine IMO.

If the second single doesn't do well she will be given no more chances on radio and the third single would most likely go relatively under the radar or as under the radar as a Gaga single could anyway.

stop staying which song will flop for godsake, you are not psychic that can predict future :fail:

This.

 

Those I hope for are Aura, Sex Dreams and ARTPOP. But I guess AP isn't an option since she only gave us four options? :/
