I don't think it would be scrapped, but at this point something needs to be done.

Idk it's just really bothering me today, this is only hurting her even more (not charts, her hate mail etc)

She's also setting herself up. If the video doesn't live up to the hype, even more hate mail

I don't know how to post a new thread, so I'm posting this here. The Director of Charts for Billboard Magazine had this to say about the Christina version of DWUW.

Β 

Q. will the Xtina version get an official adds date? How about a mediabase title change?

Β 

A. Unclear if label will ask radio 2 switch. Would depend on listener feedback not 1st wk of sales.

receipts? that's no sense by february 19th (which is also a sunday, so get your facts straight) the song will be dead and gone, if it doesn't come out on monday than it shouldn't come out at all. Move on to next single, perform it at the grammy and get the video ready for early february.

If we ain't getting the video, she better just announce the third single.
And she could have released Venus's video (if there is a Venus video at all) to keep us hyped.
I feel like DWUW is lost. She should just move on....

Hey guys.

Β The music video is scheduled to release by February 19th :party:

Β 

Yeah, I don't think so. Wouldn't take longer than a month at this point

This though, the longer it takes the higher the expectations are. She should tweet about the video already. Her last tweet was almost 4 weeks ago which made it seem like it was going to be released that particular week.Β

I agree Gaga has some blame but a good record label and a good manager could have marketed BTW better and made it more accessible/likeable to the public and picked better singles

Not picking judas as a second single just before Easter

Or releasing YAI or never releasing Scheiße

And now they are doing the same with ARTPOP

Β 

Because of her previous success, Ms G had unprecedented freedom of choice during the BTW era. A lot of the choices were, indeed, hers. Judas and its proximity to Easter was a calculated risk which didn't work out.

Β 

Anyway, yes, without Troy to negotiate and pull his weight with the label, this era is a bit awkward in terms of choices, timing and promo. I am hoping a new power management team steps in relatively soon. Normally Lady G would not need that edge, but without charting in top 10 she does need someone to muscle things for her until she does.

Well one can argue that it's not the end of the world, it's just a music video.

Β 

My acquaintance, who on occasion has had some interesting info, is keeping mum, so I don't think he knows either.

Β 

It's also possible that the original cut of the video was deemed too risky by the powers that be (that was my original info) and they are also waiting to see how the single does on the radio. You would be surprised at how often a video is ready to go, or close to it, but if the single is not being embraced by the radio, the label scraps the video completely and moves on to the next single. I know this doesn't make sense, but I've seen it happen over and over.

Β 

But let's hope for the best! :)

If this is the case then I say move onto Gypsy for single #3--it's practically The Edge of Glory of ARTPOP. But yes I agree with you that this era has felt a bit awkward after everything was said and done with Applause and that part of the era phased out. The fact that everything has been in the dark over the last several weeks is very questionable. I wouldn't be surprised if the video had to be re-done to include Xtina

How long ago was the single release on itunes :smh:

Β 

The original track with R. Kelly was releasedΒ on October 21st I believe. Each week was a different promo single leading up to the album release on 11/11.
