Stef 61,452 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I feel that the Xtina collab will benefit the song more commercially Signature loading… 👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristessa 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well... no. I mean, I like the version, and I suppose she could give it some promo for a sales boost, but she's supposed to still be promoting the official single, right? Xtina's is not the official single. I don't think she should outright stop promoting it... Wouldn't it be amazing if she is making us wait for the video because she is going to surprise us with Christina being in it instead of R. Kelly? ^_^ No. :crossed: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Kunst 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If she doesn't believe the allegations against Kelly, which I don't think she does, then she shouldn't be pressured into letting them control her decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Kicking him off entirely is just gonna come off as gaga trying to save her own skin. Subtlega need direct the attention towards the other version but let the original version be. Distanceing herself from him a bit but without kicking him out. Gaga is probably gonna get some **** for this whatever she does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayum 240 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think the best is to have the original + a few of xtina's lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Since there are way more Xtina than R Kelly fans, and they are more open to liking Gaga, and since over a million of Gaga's biggest fans already have the R Kelly version, seems promoting the new version makes sense.

Cerny 4,126 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nah, i prefer DWUW ft R. Kelly and i want R. Kelly on the music video, i mean that was the original concept/idea, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 YES i honestly am now over R. Kelly and his new album.... Thats it All here for XTINA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristessa 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Either version's sales would count towards the overall single's billboard sales/streams. Either way, my answer remains. Your question suggests that she should simply not promote the original version anymore at all, and it's my opinion that she should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luffy 25,402 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 yes, but only because I like the Xtina remix more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I just don't think young American white girls that Gaga needs to support the single, are here for some middle-aged black guy with scandalous past humping her in a video. You tone down the original s-xy concept of the video, you just get a boring video. Hence the delay to work up someone better. The only "promotion" left, I think, is releasing the video and schmoozing radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenrealm 1,238 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 To be fair, she better release video for both version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJH07 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Either way, my answer remains. Your question suggests that she should simply not promote the original version anymore at all, and it's my opinion that she should. I know. I was just making the point that it wouldn't be like she is promoting an entirely new song when both go towards the same sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesToStart 2,128 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Regardless, it's clear that the MV delay was due to one of two reasons. a) they're adding Xtina to the video b) they wanted R. Kelly issues to die down over the holidays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
