He doesn't work with billboard so his opinion is just as valuable as mine . He's an everyday dude now. Can we stop posting his opinions?

"Venus" is quirky. "Aura" is quirky. "G.U.Y." is almost as straightforward as the album gets, to my ears.

The videos are for the fans.

The album is pretty much done. I don't see the single making people buying the album. He has a point. ARTPOP is pretty much done

Kinda agree with him, GUY is the weakest of the better single choices (Venus, Sexxx Dreams, Gypsy). And it's a weak feminist track, Scheisse was a LOT better and catchier.

I just don't find it easy for straight males to sing, it screams bottom anthem.

The GP doesn't even know what a power bottom is. I didn't know what it was until I joined GGD. It isn't a universal word, so I doubt when the GP hears it, they will say this is a power bottom anthem, because most don't even know what the hell that is.

I do value Bill's opinion, since he worked at one of the highest positions at Billboard for so long, but I think he's wrong on this one.

 

With a killer video, choreography, and good live performances, G.U.Y. could do very, very well for the era. Although, we have no clue about any of those things yet. (But I guess you could say that about any song.)

 Yes trap is a subgenre, but is not derived from dubstep. Recently it has been mixed with some electro genres including dubstep, but this genre is actually derived from southern Hip Hop music. Also Madeon did not produce Fashion!, it was Will I Am. So if you are going to get defensive about this, you better make sure you know your stuff first.

Ok buddy I dont mean to offend you but somthing tells me your not exactly familiar with the electro genre. I appreciate what your saying but if you use the term EDM you almost automatically dont know what your talking about. Trap music is NOT it's own genre. It is a subgenre of Electro derived from dub step. The conundrum of ARTPOP is that all the sounds and sonic pallete is derived from things we have all heard before but that are placed in strange configurations that make is fresh and unique. such as madeons synth line in Fashion! Sounds very much like Daft Punks digital love, but is handled and arranged differently than it was back then. I'm an Avid electro fan have been since the early 2000s, MANiCURE is simply a rock/punk song mixed with girl power pop. Makes me recall like patty smith mixed with the Rockettes ;-p Sorry for my Tangent I just get SUPER defensive when people think they know electro music and use the word EDM

Still, even the girls I work with who have the album just don't get the song. They ask me,"why does she want to be a guy??? Like Beyonce song If I WeRe a Boy?" It's just an odd song to sing along to. But who knows.

And straight guys don't want to be a girl under you.

BYE

I just want Gypsy as a single eventually :cryga: 

If it doesn't get time to shine solo, this will be a DITD-level letdown for me

My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3
