Do What U Want - Single Cover

[Weasel 12,525]

Album cover, single cover..... it's almost the same.

You're missing the point.

It's not even a single though, she just made this cover for fun.

As much as i'm a dedicated advocate of the BAM I highly doubt you can call this cover a masterpiece.  

It all boils down to sales, if she sticks to the same formula with her covers (all having the frame) the general buyer is going to find it a struggle to differentiate between each and therefore less likely to sell.  Each needs to be different and tailored for the photograph/art and i'm afraid the frame doesn't match the cover at all and should be gotten rid.  :reductive:

i cant at people who speak only of how much they want her to sell... thats not the point gurl ... the point is to listen to quality music instead of thinking how much people like u want her to reach out to the GP i dont care what the GP thinks i only want her music to pierce my soul and shake my arse to her jams .. not to be rude or something but i just find it quite annoying when im reading them theoretical-homemade-jibberjabber.. if u like the song ull buy it and dance ur a** to it and not care

It's cool but the handwriting, I wish it would be like Applause :cry:

I'd hardly call her album cover s-xual   It's a sculpture of her with a big blue ball clearly covering her vag.  Her point with that statement was that she didn't want to sell her albums because people look at the cover and say, "Omg, she's so s-xy *buys album*."  And I don't think anyone would think of doing that by looking at the album cover haha.

Secondly, DWYW sounds like a song about people abusing and/or using her body for their own means.  So it makes sense. They can't use her body anymore since she's put it out their herself. I think it's a statement that fits nicely with the song.

 

I agree with this so much.

I like it even tho all this nudity is really making me uncomfortable But I understand that the cover looks like that when the song name is Do What You Want (With My Body)

I think it would be naive to say that sales aren't important.  Gaga herself is trying to get those sales, see her Twitter bio for one example, she is aware of what she needs to do so I think discussing her marketing technique is definitely a point. 

And i'd prefer it if I wasn't lumped into one category of people who "speak only of how much they want her to sell" when i'm sure you've only ever seen this singular post.  Let's not judge people on one opinion.  I agree, it is all about the music, however I also aren't going to buy into the "sales aren't important" opinion some may have. 

Whilst I love the snippet of DWUW I find the cover to be quite ineffective and generic in comparison to Applause in particular.  I mean no negativity but I can't love everything Gaga does.  :megaflop:

...........

Not even gonna comment.

[Brooke Candy 3,970]

I love it!  :whip:

[Mariann 301]

I don't like it.   

I admit that it seems to fit with the message of the song but she seems to be showing off her body so often this era and I really don't think that I'm the intended audience for this.

That doesn't make really sense to me, cause its her first Album Cover where she is naked on it, so it would indeed mean "look at me, im naked, by me"

 

That's a fair opinion! But, if you look at Ancient Greek culture (which she's been clearly referencing this era) all the statues are pretty much naked. It's not a s-xual thing, just a pure and honest thing.  To me, looking at the album, it doesn't look s-xual in the least.  Actually, the opposite.    Personally, I think she's trying to attach the ART (a Ancient statue) with POP (Lady Gaga with her signature wig).

Only thing I don't like is FONT! Why didn't she kept the applause handwritting? 

 

[DirtyRichHooker 352]

I'd like it if the text was the same as that of APPLAUSE

[Interludicrous 15]

This...still takin' dem pervy photos I see...I'm just happy the single cover is for a PROMO song...

 

Inb4 the Venus cover is the same kind of picture, but instead of ass she's showing her ... 

[Phoenix 17,395]

And it's just a promo single cover, stfu! + she didn't do this to get people to buy it, if the cover of the song is naked girl/boy that doesn't make me buy a song if it's bad. 

I buy I song if I like it. And you complain about her, but when the pic of zac efron laying fully naked on a toilet is out on the internet you all worship him. Done!
