So now the two worst songs on the album are now being considered to become the next single? 'Dope' won't ever see the light of day, at least I hope. Anywho, she needs to come up with a concept for the video and think it through this time around. I want a well thought out video that will actually see the light of day. My interest level in this project has depreciated a helluva lot. I am beyond disappointed w/this era. I truly don't see things turning around if there is still conflict between Gaga & her label w/single choices.

I'm still really into this project since I'm still loving the material (it was much more instant than Born This Way was for me). I am so ecstatic that I'll get to see all of these songs lives and vocally speaking, she is at her best. But we should bring this back to Gypsy. I'm guessing we'll get an adds date in about 3 or 4 weeks?

They need an immediate add date like they did for dark horse once it was decided as a single. There no point to waiting she has nothing selling the album right now

Oh snap: Lady Gaga News β@operationgaga 18s Interscope has removed "Gypsy" from their Top 40 Playlist site, proving that the 3rd single is still being decided. playiga.com/playlist/

If it has to be one of the two, I'd prefer 'Gypsy'. How does anyone know that Gaga is actually pushing 'Dope' for the next single? Did she say so herself or is it just a rumor? Where are the receipts?!

Well, if 'Dope' ends up being the next single, this campaign is truly over.

"Dope" is the most obvious bomb on the album, so there's no way she genuinely believes it's a hit. If she's really fighting for it now, I feel like she's doing it because she's fed up with the label.

...I thought 'Dope' was the way it was explicitly so it would never be a single?! Yeah pretty much. I remember her commenting about it somewhere that her label was really happy with "I Wanna Be With You" and it was likely to be a single because the whole ballad sound was in at the time, and she basically said f**k that and changed it. I highly doubt that it'll ever be a single. Maybe the single will be the original version of the song - if it was originally recorded? I appreciate Gaga sticking to her guns when it comes to things like this and I have always been adamant that she never bow down in the face of mainstream expectations but that was before she was on the verge of flopping. Certainly I love Dope and if that were selected as a single, it'd be interesting to watch and see how it performs but I also know what the overall sentiment will be about the song if it were to receive airplay and subsequent attention with a video and performances and that would be annoying to me. I wouldn't protest against Dope being the single but I do think Gaga should perhaps stand down for the rest of the era because it's a losing battle. If she gets her way with singles that ultimately don't perform, her chances of reaching the masses for future eras are lessened and I think Gaga is more interesting when she receives the attention she craves than when she doesn't.

They need to release Fashion of His Love to resuscitate this era.

I love Gaga and all, but the bitch is clearly so far removed from reality at this point if she thinks Dope will save the era. At this point I wish Gaga's say so in her career moves were minimal at best. It would be for her own good.

I'm all for Gaga being different and standing her ground - it's what got her here in the first place. I actually love the story of her changing "I Wanna Be With You" to "Dope" just to be defiant. But if she is actually pushing "Dope" as the 3rd single, especially after that letter about the fact that this is the 'beginning' of ARTPOP, one of two things is happening. 1, she has absolutely lost it and needs some serious time off/re-evaluation or 2, she is at f**king war with her label.
I love ARTPOP and this is disappointing to see it play out like this.

Idk if it's the label so much as her desire to be different. Like, she changed the lyrics of the song to make it seem less mainstream-- nothing on the album, in her mind, was supposed to be really. She probably just wants to put it out there because it's her favorite or some shit. She's done it before with other albums. Success probably isn't what she's after now.

Dope is so much better lyrically than I Wanna Be With You, the latter feels like a parody. "I wanna be with you". "I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone". "I'll write hit songs about you". Good on her for changing it

she is at f**king war with her label. In one of the letters she posted recently, she said that everything was okay with her label. I don't think she would pretend everything was fine if it wasn't because she's the type who would spill the tea. Given the recent departure of her manager, things are in obvious disarray right now and they are just figuring out what to do next, and we are just not privy to all that. It's understandable that many of us fans are out here wondering why nothing is happening, why are they so quiet about what's coming up, where is the DWUW video, etc., but DWUW isn't exactly flopping despite the lack of a music video so maybe they aren't as worried. I do hope that they will announce something concrete really soon.

If she releases Dope she'll technically have 2 Hot 100 top tens this era... but the song won't do anything post-promo single week.

I'm one of the few that doesn't harbor a deep hatred for "Dope," but it still doesn't sound like a huge hit nor would it be able to regain much momentum.
"Gypsy" or bust.
