Americano 31,061 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Why does the radio shy away from playing Gaga's tracks? Is there too few people requesting it or is it too taboo for them for some reason? Â Probably a blend of both. I don't know. I thought the video was nice, and that the song is good.

Shadow 6,039 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 they should have released the short version right after the long version. and no, the 1st version will have more views for a long time even if it's longer Well, Dark Horse is like 3:44 in length and Guy was about 11 minutes right? So roughly, three people could have finished watching Dark Horse by the time one person finished watching G.U.Y. the whole way through. Does Vevo count partial viewing, like those that cut to the Guy part? I know a lot of people who don't watch Gaga videos anymore because they are always longer than her peers'. The short version will definitely give G.U.Y. additional streaming points, but won't make a huge difference, imo. Do you know any other pop star who consistently employs lengthly videos?

Americano 31,061 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well Gaga hasn't had a stable US presence on radio, TV, or anything in years at this point. Fleeting interest is probably an issue in terms of US viewership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonahKing 1 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 There has been negative attention from the media during the ARTPOP era, this is why the radio is hesitant in playing Gaga! They don't pay attention they just go with what they think is hot. However this was during Gaga's break, now that she's back she is gaining hype and the radio will be playing these songs. Mark my words G.U.Y is a huuge hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 6,039 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Michael Jackson Indeed, but wouldn't you agree that Michael Jackson had the advantage of having a career just before music videos became a major platform and channels like MTV and VH1 broadcasted videos to millions who were interested in watching? These days, those channels may still have videos here and there, but now the major viewing is from the online community. If we know anything about this generation, they are very impatient and are less likely to watch lengthy videos on their mobile devices, at home, or wherever they work or study when they might be more inclined to see short videos or something that gets straight to the point. So, it might be an unfair comparison to compare reactions and feedback to lengthy videos from Michael Jackson's era to the one Lady Gaga is currently treading through.

SummerGirl21 780 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I feel so pressed. It is so unfair that a ****ty video like dark horse (sorry, not hating on katy right now but it is the truth) gets more atention than the masterpiece that is G.U.Y. But it is its first week so great! Maybe people are watching it because it is so awful...like to laugh at it... Â and I'm not hating on it either. Â I think they thought they had a good idea, but it went terribly wrong.

notamember 664 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It makes me so sad to see such a great music video below a God-awful one like Dark Horse. :/ I know it's the AI that supports it's streams but still.. Isn't it a bit unfair to compare G.U.Y. and Dark Horse? One of them being a huge hit already and being played on the radio almost every minute, when the other one is not even on the radio yet and hasn't gotten any major promo?! This though. G.U.Y. Has no radio support yet. (Hardly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
