Economy 50,183 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I agree about the BTW era...I wasn't a huge fan of Gaga back then and it made me really over her. I think people's mentality after that era has negatively impacted ARTPOP (in hindsight I actually love BTW, my favorite album of hers, and most of the era, just some stuff was so forced). But I think getting G.U.Y. radio play is harmless. Regardless, if G.U.Y. is in the lead, they're going to feel compelled to play it even if it is just because of fan voting. Philip Phillips is dominating the other poll by more, it's not like the Gaga poll is out of the norm... well im not saying trying to get it more spins is a bad idea... whatever success it gets it gets At the very least tho, TV performances and promo i think should be kept to a minimum. If people are over Gaga i really do think this will just make them hate her more and get more over her If i was her or her label, i think id release one more single but whatever success it gets, it gets... she can always make a few new fans with people who find it online and like it without annoying the GP Once ACTII comes out and shes been low key for a while, then id try more promo again and see if she can be revived or not... If ACTII fails yet again even with promo, then its fair to say shes done with the GP and she should just be a touring artist for her fans Another possibility is that shes like Taylor Swift... Her 1st and sometimes second single are hits with the hype, but shes more fan oriented and less GP oriented so the 3rd, 4th signles etc always flop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop stars always fade in and out and even if ARTPOP ends up being underwhelming, Act II or a fifth album can always bring her back. Pop music is constantly evolving and it's all about how you play the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lairofhk 935 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's just not THAT good of a song. Honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,583 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's impossible to actually say for sure why it hasn't taken off. I think it has more to do with people's view/attitudes towards Gaga herself rather than the song. But then again.. no song goes #1 without a tonne of radio play.

Valextra 58 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 First of all the radio of course, and in general people are over this project, the blackout didn't help the situation, and now Gaga is in a phase in which she's not cool for the media in general.

tokyodisko 0 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Because the era leading up to GUY has been bland and few and far between by GP standards and backlash from DWUW probably pushed her opinion down with the GP, so people are just not willing to give her a chance right now. She pushed too much too soon with ARTPOP and her "message". If GUY had been the first or second single this era would have been completely different. Poeple just don't want Gaga right now. Radios are not the problem... how many people even listen to the radio for music anymore? They don't play it, because people don't want it. It isn't gaining traction. It still might, but unlikely without promo. Sure some stations might actively hate on it, but it isn't like there is some secret radio cult who decides that every station should boycott a song. It's not some anti-Gaga conspiracy- if you believe that then you need to get a life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HORRORHOLIC 109 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 GP doesnt like it end of story Pretty much this. Just like I predicted it doesn't stand out enough to really catch the GP's attention. It was a bad choice as a single. If GUY had been the first or second single this era would have been completely different. Poeple just don't want Gaga right now. I think if GUY was the first single the album would have done much worse. Applause was a better choice but Aura should have been the 1st single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Good now if I was interscope I would discount it until the tour kicks off and immediately make the radio start spinning it more It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if GUY was the first single the album would have done much worse. Applause was a better choice but Aura should have been the 1st single GUY is more classic Gaga than Applause though. I think the only reason Applause was successful is the music and how catchy it was. A lot of people were annoyed, because the song sounded too egotistical. GUY with the video we got would have had the Applause level of coverage, if not more. It would have stopped the Roar/Applause nonsense. The whole era was just marketed and managed poorly and that is where part of the downfall was from. Her and her team were NOT on top of anything at all. I don't think Aura would have done well at all. The verses are the downfall there and would completely turn off the audience. Aside from stans the song isn't really that well regarded at all.

With discounts ended and new songs from today slowly falling it should grow more or at least stabilize Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
