I don't even care about what others think. This woman is a goddess in the realm of pop music; the Swinefest show and this cover confirm it. Whether or not it sells, whether or not people "get it" - ARTPOP is already set to be epic, and iconic. Call me delusional. Call me what you like. But make damn sure you quote me in two years for me to say I told you so.
ALSO. At this point, I am more than on board for "Aura" - I want it to be a full single, though perhaps after the perfection that is "Sex Dreams". "Aura" perfectly embodies this record as we currently perceive it.
Maybe I'm going off the metaphorical stan deep end, but I want Gaga to just DO this time around. Make her statements, make her music, and have no reservations. I want Born This Way to look like a formal tea party.
I just don't understand why would she post it on youtube but not on iTunes. IF she decides to really post it on iTunes she should had announced it already. Would had been good to announce it with the album cover as a promo single.
