MonsterMum 2,532 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 you're right, but i think it's still too soon to drop it. a lot of songs takes time to really do well. i mean she just finished Roseland, Bobby must have something planned for the promotion of G.U.Y..... no? Well he better stashed some coins somewhere to pay them radio stations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The fact her new manager let her new single slide so far on iTunes concerns me, lol. Who knows, maybe he's a secret miracle worker and I'm going to be proved wrong. I'd LOVE to be proved wrong this time, I want her to succeed because she deserves it/works really hard on her material. But there is absolutely no excuse for how this single is performing. Its adds from major stations are lackluster, the AI updates are low, and she continues to freefall on iTunes (gradually). It's just not a pretty picture. Am I saying it's her fault? No. But perhaps it's just not connecting. The entire project since November seems to have just been one big struggle for her. I want to think they have plans to turn this around, however I am very discouraged.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 And as much as I don't like the song, I do think Gypsy would have already gone Top 10 with a video/etc. I wanted G.U.Y. to be a single over Gypsy, so I'm not saying "I KNEW IT," but probably would have been a better choice. Gypsy just fits radio better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado 2,439 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 i dont like Gypsy at all but i know it has to be a single ( if she's going to keep the ARTPOP era alive) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 One thing I'll say that I'm sure can be interpreted as "negative," I don't get the late radio add date. Sure, people said it'd make no difference, but it has. I'm sure that Z100/KIIS would've added the song right away if the impact date was paired with the video buzz. Now the song is in the 500s, why would they add it? And if they don't add it, the further she falls digitally. It's a vicious cycle. I'd get it if she had promotion lined up this week.. But she doesn't. That's what makes no sense to me. I thought they were surrounding April 8th with some TV and that's why they were waiting weeks, but nothing is announced? Just seems like a bad strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre 10,480 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not being 'negative,' I genuinely think she just needs to drop this album era. G.U.Y. is not doing anything. I agree with this. Maybe Gypsy as a fan single, not a very big video and move on to next era, the jazz album, not here for act II very soon. ❝Is not blue, not turquoise, not lapis. It's actually cerulean❞.

Why would radio even give a song that has a music video a chance if they see it in the 500's and plummeting?.. Sigh. They wouldn't. When I checked radio adds and didn't see WXKS (Boston), WNOW (NYC), WHTZ (Z100), or KIIS-FM .. I knew she was in major trouble. She's not a new artist, she doesn't have an excuse of needing to be discovered and radio won't accept that rationale. I don't know. I'm trying to avoid being negative. But huge stations she even interviewed with did not add the song post-impact. I'd like to see someone paint that in a positive light. I agree with this. Maybe Gypsy as a fan single, not a very big video and move on to next era, the jazz album, not here for act II very soon. Maybe Gypsy should just get a tour performance music video and just throw it at radio for the hell of it. If it goes Top 10 on pop, great, what a nice surprise. If not.. it's not like she has anything to lose. Point blank, I PERSONALLY don't think she should invest energy further into the project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if she's going to VMAs this year, I know it soon, but I think G.U.Y. is winning best female, Katy wins pop and Miley wins VOTY. ❝Is not blue, not turquoise, not lapis.

Arturo 40,746 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 She has a tour date. The VMA's was basically the reason Applause didn't leave the Top 10 2 weeks after release... It'd be nice to have that kind of promo again.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
