craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 3. Marry The Night - August 22, 2011 #3 No way. It's a sure flop regardless, like Uncle or Run the World (Girls). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMum 2,532 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I don't get why everyone on here seems to think floptina will save DWUW It's not about Xtina saving her career. It's about 2 fanbases buying a song and perhaps a few cross overs because they see their star being friends with another pop star. Which means that it's more likely they will buy a (future) CD of them as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang 2,262 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 ARTPOP would have smashed hard if everything leading up until now happened like this: BTW Era: 1. Born This Way - February 11, 2011 #1 2. Scheibe - May 9, 2011 #1 Promo Single: Heavy Metal Lover - May 16, 2011 #12 (I'm guessing it would have performed similarly to Hair) 3. Marry The Night - August 22, 2011 #3 4. You and I (US Only)/ Bloody Mary or Heavy Metal Lover (Depending on how HML did as promo single internationally) (International Single) - October 24, 2011 #6 for Y&I 5. Hair - January 2, 2012 #4 6. The Edge of Glory - March 19, 2012 #6-10 ARTPOP Era: 1. Applause - August 19, 2013 #1 (It could have reached #1 with MV same day and the BTW era like this) 2. Do What U Want - October 21, 2013 #2 (I think The Monster would still block it but DWUW would still have A LOT of momentum) Oh the slayage if her team was smarter :cry: *Mary The Night would have been a flop regardless, and so is Hair. *Applause leaked, how does that make her team any less smart?

Luc 4,775 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Look, it's quite simple. Songs are like this: 1) I feel pretty awesome/hot, I wanna dance catchy (Just Dance for ex.) 2) Inspiring/uplifiting 3) I feel you (feels, general stuff, love, heartbreak, hope etc) I never said Applause is a bad song. I said, in pop terms, it's the most commercial song on the record, and is closest to #1 - BUT - in terms of the subject matter, it's just not that relatable. It's a song about craving, yes, Applause. It's something you release, IMO, as your last single. It's going to be the last song in her live set, probably, too, and it makes sense. My point about 7 year olds was not that she should make songs for them. My point was to explain why it was not a huge hit like Roar, and those are just facts. A lot of people I know who are not fans were a bit puzzled by Applause, even though they liked the song. Just a question, but where would other big hits like Poker Face, Paparazzi, Telephone and Alejandro be? They're not that relatable tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado 2,439 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I don't get why everyone on here seems to think floptina will save DWUW ... well she made DWUW enter the top 15 again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodo 733 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah I'm 29 and still have meltdowns from time to time. Just because people age doesn't mean they have to lose their emotions and passion for something I am 30 and hv meltdown too 😳 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for parents loving their kids, and romantic couples marrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMum 2,532 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yup, I hate Interscope I don't tbh. I think the only problem that Interscope and Gaga have right now is the HOW to do stuff. I'm pretty sure they want both to do well but can't agree on how to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEANUS 15,893 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Mary The Night would have been a flop regardless, and so is Hair. Applause leaked, how does that make her team any less smart?

That's for parents loving their kids, and romantic couples marrying. Only partially true. Teen and preteen girls are a huge market for such things. Soap Opera songs. The truth is Unconditionally just isn't a great song, it's that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she needs to know the world in all it's ugly and glory before entering it herself. The truth is Unconditionally just isn't a great song, it's that simple.
