AgusPop 4,064 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yes but if it flops, she loses major momentum for the entire era. She's still trying to gain the public back right now so I personally believe a safe single is the way to go. DWUW isn't risky at all, Venus is. Hopefully DWUW will do well so she can give Venus a chance later down the line. :clap: This, I love Venus but is too risky now, maybe later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Mr. Radio 45 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Y'all need to calm down. People don't even know that this song exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaMyBlood95 9,899 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 See, it's not risky and risky at the same time which makes it a 'hit' instead of a 'smash'. The production wasn't risky at all but the lyrics are. yes, agree! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully DWUW will do well so she can give Venus a chance later down the line. For how long is she gonna "gain the public back"? This is Gaga we're talking about. Releasing Venus was a great idea tbh but I digress. It doesn't matter. She's chosen DWUW. I think it will do good but won't smash and with each consecutive single from an era USUALLY getting less success, she might be blowing away the chance of a real massive smash that is Venus.

Luc 4,775 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 :clap: This, I love Venus but is too risky now, maybe later Actually, anything risky released after the album has a bigger chance to flop. Anything released before the album is guaranteed 110k first-week sales from pre-orders, hype and good radio support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I just think the BTW era created a massive wound in her image that is still healing, and I think an R&B song with a popular R&B artist is on the way to recovery. It's something relatable and easy for the public to listen to. Once they're on her side again, it's time for something more risky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupo 201 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Actually, anything risky released after the album has a bigger chance to flop. Anything released before the album is guaranteed 110k first-week sales from pre-orders, hype and good radio support. Yes, the single itself will do better, but--especially for an artist like Gaga who has demonstrated genuine ability to push albums--singles are meant as promotional tools and are secondary to album sales. Thus, you'd rather have that hiccup of a flop AFTER the album has been released and people are aware of it and what it has to offer as a whole.

You may be right but it's because the public wanted more of her older smashing pop music. DWUW is great but do you really see it as a massive smash? Cause I believe Venus can do that, it's fun, extremely catchy (blasting off to a new dimension ) and could just be enjoyed by everyone like the old Gaga. I really hope DWUW can do this cause I love DWUW but I see more of Applause's success or less since it's not the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking risks and playing as safe as possible will hurt her rather than heal her.

Around 100k from pre-orders and only 60k new sales Not taking risks and playing as safe as possible will hurt her rather than heal her. If we don't get one of the album's highlights as singles again DIDT, Monster, HML, Scheisse all over again tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
