I thought that was the case! Thanks push! I take it the May 19th single won't be MTN? Interesting. Probably Americano.

Not either of those, but it's one that is a favorite of her team. ;) how do you know so much about stuff? You get SS numbers, and now inside info. What's your deal? I'm curious.

^Does it matter? Thanks for the heads up Push! Not really interested in playing guessing games, Americano just seemed likely from what I had read.
Does anyone have a realtime update for this though, kind of interested if it's still losing spins/AI.

So I was bored and randomly musing.
And I wonder if this would be doing better if they had literally titled this Bad Romance Pt. II, and kept everything else the same except using these lyrics:
Bad Romance Pt. II
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance GaGa Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance GaGa
[Lady Gaga - Verse 1] When he comes to me, I am ready I'll give in to his desires and his needs Forgive him when his tongue lies through his teeth Even after each time he betrays me
Ahhh-Ah Ah Ah Ah I'll bring him down, bring him down, down Ahhh-Ah Ah Ah Ah A man of the town, man of the town
[Chorus] He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance GaGa
[Lady Gaga - Verse 2] I couldn't love a man so purely Even darkness forgave his crooked way I've learned love is like a brick, you can Build a house or sink a dead body Ahhh-Ah Ah Ah Ah I'll bring him down, bring him down, down Ahhh-Ah Ah Ah Ah A man of the town, man of the town
[Chorus] He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
EW
[Bridge] In the most trivial sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooked, pretenscious witch, follows her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense And just kiss me if offensed, Or wear your condom next time
I wanna love you, But something's pulling me away from you Not a man of virtue, But he is still the one that I cling to I cling to
[Chorus] He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby He took me for a fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I still want his romance, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in a bad romance, roman-ance
Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance Roma-a-a, Romance GAGA
Honestly I love Pt II songs usually, so her making a serious Bad Romance Pt II would be awesome imo. This would have been faithful to the original but still unique in its own right and I would have thought it was amazing. lol

'The Edge of Glory' is a promo single. I'm still wondering why they filmed that video and have so many promotional opportunities upcoming if they're giving up on 'Judas' already. It has only been out for three weeks. Gaga was given 100% control over the first two singles. After BTW started to free fall, they were banking on Judas becoming the big hit that would sail through the release of the album. That hasn't happened, and it probably won't happen, thus "The Edge of Glory" was chosen by Jimmy and Gaga. The only way it will be a "promo single" is if it doesn't take off. And for the record, another possible future single will hit iTunes on May 19... I recall you saying GaGa's video would be on Idol and she'd be mentoring but neither happened this week so...

And for the record, another possible future single will hit iTunes on May 19... I really think they have to stick with 'Judas' and promote that. Another point is that there are not going to be that many suitable choices from the album, so if 'Judas' is dumped for something else which manages to become massive, paving the way for other songs but because 'Judas' was originally abandoned, they won't have enough left. If that makes sense. 'Judas' is soooooo good. I could really see that becoming one of the biggest hits of Summer with an extra push. Not either of those, but it's one that is a favorite of her team. ;) I'm not sure how you'd know this, but is it Hair? Gaga was given 100% control over the first two singles.

Mentoring is still hap'ning.

EOG is the third single as of right now. Jimmy had to come in and give his input after the "Judas" debacle. They have Marry The Night at the ready if EOG doesn't have the reception they're looking for. 'The Edge of Glory' is a promo single. I'm still wondering why they filmed that video and have so many promotional opportunities upcoming if they're giving up on 'Judas' already. It has only been out for three weeks. This - that would look ridiculous.

If the album fails to perform as expected, they should fast-release the next album one year from now a la Rihanna Loud rapidly following Rated R. An image clean up wouldn't hurt either..... honestly, prosthetic Gaga is somewhat off putting. And I'm speaking here as a Gaga fan, one who really wants her to perform better than expected. That being said, even if the album doesn't perform that well (like Taylor Swift's latest album, who had huge hype and opening numbers but is all but forgotten now), I think that TF/TFM sales warrant for Gaga to have backing from her label for at least 3-4 albums. Am I the only one bothered by this? Essentially, if this flops you want GaGa to no longer have full control of her career, to "clean up her image" and rush release a pop-friendly album, all in the name of success. So you want her to be another typical pop singer? I can't understand that mentality. Sure, we're rooting for her to succeed but I also want kick-ass music. Good pop music is fun and all but in months, I'm over a pop cd (except for nostalgic purposes) whereas I can listen to a genuinely good record for years and still love it. You're okay with Gaga not being who she is for the sake of pop success? She won't be remembered in years to come choosing that route. What do we remember most about past music? Not the huge pop hits but the ones that stand out as being genuinely good records.

No but seriously, GaGa is in trouble. Her 2nd single already falling just a mere 3 weeks after its release? Better get your next meat dress ready to drum up some press...

Figures... the only Lady Gaga song that I immediately like is the one performing the worst. I have no idea why though.

I really don't want Judas to end up peaking here, I still believe in it, but also, you gotta remember that TEOG could definitely flop (and from the descriptions, it sounds much less radio friendly than this). I would say that if TEOG is given the status of official third single, and it pushes this down but flops too, it would be very difficult for her to see success with a fourth single.

You're right, but with the airplay and iTunes updates, it just seems like it's not clicking, unfortunately. Maybe they should send out "Government Hooker"; that had the most positive reaction out of all the new Gaga songs. It looks like it's time to move on. #18 on iTunes. Yes, wasn't it #29 yesterday? That's true.

I'm pretty sure 'Government Hooker' has been described as very filthy lyrics and something you'd find in Berlin sex clubs etc. I really don't think something like that would work as a single. Countdown/promo would be fine, but sending that as the third single? I don't think so. It would probably be amazing but it'd probably miss the top 20.

Oh well, I suppose the label probably knows better than us - especially since they've actually heard the songs.
