Billboard co-director: DWUW- an obvious top 10 hit

Watch Venus drop next week and blow all our socks and the GPs socks off!!!

 

We'll see if Interscope backtracks on DWUW as the 2nd single if Venus outperforms it on the charts.

 

Not here to hate on DWUW but I'm really hoping for meltdowns. Interscope-sized meltdowns. Otherwise, what's the fun in it?

uh the word "obvious" tho. meaning, its a safe choice and people will eat it up. i expect this from katy's team, but not from gaga, someone who so willfully pegged ARTPOP to bring art culture into the non artistic space that has become the pop landscape.......

I agree that it is a safe choice because of the change today. But I don't agree on the second part. Why would Gaga put a song like this on ARTPOP if she knew it did not portray the message of the album? If it portrays the message as an album track, it does as a single too.

Tbh it sounds like an unfinished demo

That's funny because it actually sounds like a perfectly balanced studio production. Probably one of Gaga's (DJWS) greatest productions ever.

i guess it could serve its purpose with the message, about the media, and addressing that the public doesnt own her, but i still group it with the rest of the complacent songs ARTPOP seems to be rittled with; g.u.y being the most pointless, Jewels N' Drugs, MANiCURE, which i love to death, but it does nothing for the cause of ARTPOP, fashion will probably just be another flip of the coin to donatella, like, really, she couldn't fit those two into one song?? gypsy is about loving someone, etc etc etc

i actually do really love dwuw, its catchy, i like the message behind it, i find it kind of empowering, etc etc. im just really upset about how it became a single in the first place; on a whim, strictly under the influence of success. venus was chosen as the 2nd single for a reason and she was preparing a lot for it, so stick with it! its such a spineless move. had dwuw been the 3rd single after, i wouldnt care. 

for some reason...I don't believe you lol...it seems ppl always find something to complain about in this fanbase...

 

nothing personal :hug:

It's not that I don't like DWUW.  I do. A lot.  I've listened to it on repeat since it came out. I just don't like the rushed/unplanned switch to an official single when they already had an official single chosen and ready.  It's just messy.  

sometimes life is like that...

Some of you baffle me really. You wanted a hit, you wanted Gaga to be back and make fun music.. and you're upset over this song being the second single when it's #1 on iTunes? :wtf: We haven't even heard Venus.. all we know the song could be utter crap. (Which I know for a fact it won't be) Enjoy the slayage Gaga has on iTunes WW.. jesus christ. This hasn't been the case in a while. And if Venus slays, it could be #1 or #2 while DWUW could be #1 or #2. Either way the Queen is winning..

 

Other than that, I love the song and R. Kelly being on it. The urban influence is making me love it. I wish Gaga would dive more into R&B, similar to Bedtime Stories. She would be good for that sound imo. I love how people outside of the fanbase are really loving it! 

yes! THIS she is bringing all kinds of new listeners to ARTPOP...possibilities :party:

ahaha i do love the song, but with my rollercoaster of emotions this past day i havent been listening to it as much lol. i just dont like how dwuw became a single over something that sounded like a more interesting song, i mean, serve the planets, earth serve the gods??? that sounded much more compelling to me.

True, which is why I think it won't be long before news that Venus won't be a promo.

I am excited for/semi-stanning for VENUS, however, I doubt it will have the mass appeal the DWUW is having..just a hunch

IMO "Do What U Want" are some of the best lyrics Gaga has ever written. There is an evident double meaning throughout it, which makes it fun for the GP and super meaningful for fans. It will slay charts especially now with airplay involved. I want a real video though, not like TEOG which I feel wasn't very well thought out.  

true...I want a chill, aesthetically orgasmic video...classic gaga style...but a little champagne popping/and club scenes would be nice too...like videos from the early to mid 2000s...giving me high school teas :flutter:

VENUS sounds like a religious experience tbh...but sometimes it's just nice to sit back and silence the haters, no? I want DWUW to catapult gaga into a positive light, she deserves it. 

 

Give it some more listens..have a glass of wine while you're at it ;) it is sooooo nice

It's number one everywhere and just got played on KIIS for having the most votes. Meanwhile, Katy's album came out today and no one seems to care.

Worst day ever for KP fan base.

hehe...whoops :creepflop:

Hmm..not sure I agree with this either. I think the artist knows their work better than the person viewing, am I right? (Not insulting you I'm just making a point)

no i totally agree, and leading up to this era i have been nothing but open minded and accepting to gaga's creative decisions, but right now im a bit skeptical. i feel ive earned that right to be skeptical though, i've done nothing but stay behind her decisions, but that's when i thought ARTPOP was gonna be more....ARTPOP than what it seems at the moment. ill give it time tho.

Hey, I remember Gaga saying during an interview that she was open to the idea of releasing two singles at once, similar to what Beyonce did with "if I were a boy" and "sweet dreams" which were both majorly successful. Think she'll do that with Venus and dwuw??

ahh yes! I want something s-xy and smooth, and there should definitely be some scenes with r kelly and gaga in it together I think that would be epic.

But it doesn't matter if no one's listening...
