I feel like we are getting Venus as a single at one point or another. I am hoping, like Drag said, that they end the album with it. I would be happy with DWUW, Gypsy, and then GUY. Then end with whatever Gaga wants because at that point the album is pretty much over anyway. That would be a GREAT set of singles that shows off a lot of different sides of her and different subject matters with significant sonic differences. Venus would flop (and maybe even GUY a bit :( ) but oh well.

I'm sure she's pushing it as a single, since she produced it and it's her baby, and seems to have at least SOME pull with the label on these decisions. As long as we get G.U.Y. before the end of the era. That power bottom anthem needs to be heard by the world. |

I definitely agree. Venus would probably not be a traditional hit (not generic or universal enough to be #1 on every format or anything), but a CRAZY video and some really epic over-the-top performances would be worth it. It could become one of her signature songs even without it being played every five seconds on radio.

Or maybe Venus will be an international single?

If they already have deals for companies to play "Venus", it's likely gonna remain a single and they aren't gonna change plans. Ugh then it needs to be the 5th single. Bitch can't screw up this era with shitty single choices. |

If "Venus" is going to be in H&M adds, it would make sense that it's an international single.

Oh well :( If "Venus" flops, we always have "Gypsy" to fall back on. #positivethoughts

Last night was Glee's "A Katy or a Gaga" episode. As expected, they obliterated "Applause" but I personally thought Adam Lambert ROCKED "Marry the Night"

I feel like there's not a lot of talk about "Aura" which is one of my absolute favorites on the album! G.U.Y. is a little overrated to me.
Also, Sexxx Dreams reminds me of a song Kylie Minogue would do!

The "Venus" performance is absolutely okay. It shows so obviously that they planned the whole "Venus" single era with performances etc and then had to mess up something for DWUW quickly. Oh and it seems she enjoys performing it, just look at her.

i'm actually onboard for a Venus release 3rd before Gypsy, because it's clearly the theme for the album. And it's going to be weird whatever she does, so might as well go balls to the walls. |

She seems really proud of it probably being she produced it by herself, but also very invested in it. I can't wait to see a video for it.

And we're up to a 68 on metacritic thanks to this review: exclaim.ca/Reviews/PopAndRock/lady_gaga-artpopPerhaps understandably, Lady Gaga has had a hard time making music that matches the size of her persona. Debut LP The Fame, led by run-of-the-mill singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face," was catchy but unremarkable, seeming more interesting in the glow of Gaga's fashion-forward look and art school background. Her formidable vocal chops got their due on the diverse, melody-driven The Fame Monster EP, but follow-up Born This Way — anticipated by fans and critics as a grand statement — felt oddly complacent, recycling the sound of the EP and seemingly favouring the performance of Gaga over songwriting verve. Enter ARTPOP, on which opener "Aura" asks, "Do you want to see the girl who lives behind the aura?" It's a tantalizing line, if a bit of a red herring; as its title suggests, While ARTPOP is as much about the performance of Gaga as ever, this time, she's finally matched her outsized personality with the dynamic songwriting and production they demand. "Venus" is an updated, superior "LoveGame," on which Gaga confidently struts from hook to hook as if relying on just one had gone out of fashion; "Sexxx Dreams" starts hesitantly, but as the lyrics describe mounting sexual tension, the pressure builds to a chorus that explodes with panning synth stabs and a funked-up, slapped bassline; "Swine" finds Gaga screeching "Squeal, oh, you're so disgusting" with such palpable repugnance that you feel like the target of her righteous scorn. Like all good pop albums, ARTPOP is defined by tension and release, but unpredictably so; rather than hanging entire songs on a single hooky chorus, Gaga distinguishes each song with a series of captivating moments that draw the listener in and then linger, culminating satisfyingly in a memorable heap by the end of each track and demanding another listen. ARTPOP's few weak points stem from a lack of editing: Gaga is utterly insignificant on the T.I.-, Too Short- and Twista-featuring trap banger (and album flow-disrupter) "Jewels n' Drugs," while the generic, Katy Perry-esque power ballad "Gypsy" interferes with the dramatic one-two of "Dope" and perfect closer "Applause." Still, ARTPOP is a dynamic, memorable album that, while it fails to unveil the girl behind the aura, reveals a performer who finally sounds as invested in her art as she is in her image.
