OMG she killed her performance of this on graham norton! everything was amazing, i'm not ready to move on from this yet :'( The majority of it was mimed so I would hardly say she killed it. Why are her performances this era so tame? I miss the giant bath on X Factor and the suicide/murder at the VMAs. The goo bath for Born This Way just completely stunted the performance.

^i don't think it was mimed, i think it was just a loud backing track but you could hear her singing along with it. i have to say, i havent really liked the other performances this era at all but she really did kill that performance imo, even the dancing looked really good and sharp compared to what she did on Ellen and Cannes
BTW was great too

She didn't mime. The backing track was just really loud.

I think it is a cop out to turn the backing track up as loud as you can and then say "i never lip-synch." You might as well if we can't hear you. She has great vocals, as she proved on her BTW performance. No need to hide them. If she can't handle all the dancing then maybe she could cut it down for her promos spots so she can actually sing. I think it also says a lot about Judas as a song. You can hardly sing along to it anyway so no wonder she has a hard time singing this while performing and dancing. I think it is a big reason why the song wasn't a success on the scale of her others.

Perhaps she wasn't aware the backing track would be that loud? Her other televised performances of the song the backing track wasn't that loud and regardless you could still hear her. If she wants to sing and dance simultaneously, let her do it. It's not like she looks or sounds stupid by any means.

Still so bitter that this couldn't even go Top 10 while a lot of the other trash on radio (IMO) can :(

This will fall off the Top 20 on pop after just 4 weeks.

Not sure which Gaga thread to put this in, but Gaga's got all three singles in the top 20 of the Australian ARIA singles chart this week;
11. The Edge of Glory [highest debut] 13. Judas [up 13, previously peaked at #6] 17. Born this Way [up 8, previously peaked at #1]
'The Edge of Glory' is currently #8 on iTunes, while 'Born this Way' is #12 and 'Judas' is #17. It's possible that 'Hair' could give her four singles in the top 20 next week, I'm trying to figure out when the last occurrence of that was.
Sunday morning Mediabase update should come in 15-20 minutes!

I don't know how people can consider this a flop. Maybe by some ridiculous GaGa standards. An example of a flop by a big artist is NMT or RTW.

I think it's best to just wait a few months to determine whether this song has flopped. We can banter back and forth until our fingers fall off and it won't make a difference.

No matter the circumstances, it's difficult to recover. Christina did it well with "Dirty"/"Beautful" but there was no stopping "Beautful" no matter who sang it. We've seen so many flops ruin any chance of a successful era, under MANY DIFFERNET cirumstances. Beyonce better come with FIRE for this secodn single. Here are some of my fav lead single disasters Mariah Carey - "Loverboy" killed any last hope for Glitter, that garbage. Whitney - "Whatchulookinat" filth, nobody could take her seriously on top of all the rumours, etc. Madonna - "American Life" was a POS that rap unforgiveable, the brilliant "Hollywood" never had a chance Janet - "Just a Little While" omg. Horrible lead single. Nobody was checking for the fire of "Don't Stop"

I don't care what ANYONE says, Dirrty was NOT a flop. You can't convince me otherwise so don't even try.
The other examples you listed are fair examples though.

Lukewarm reception and #48 for a lead single is a giant flop. Especially whne your last single was a #1 collaboration. Why is it so hard to say it flopped? I think it's interesting how badly "Dirrty" did and how amazingly well "Beautiful" did.

'Dirrty' may have underperformed in the U.S., but it did well worldwide and the video was an absolute sensation.

Also, Hot 100 peaks dont mean as much back in 02 because it was mainly based on airplay as most acts didnt release physical singles/singles didn't sell well. Beautiful appealed to more formats than Dirrty and was definitely a bigger hit. I still dont think Dirrty was a flop. Pretty much everyone knows that song.
