'Dope' is probably one of Gaga's biggest rylical thriumps, has some of her best studio vocals and is amazingly produced, whilst very deep and emotional. Would you say that she should release it as a single? Since, she has never released a balad and it would be a totally fresh route for her?
It would be hard to get radio ads with the heavy hitting nature of the song.. but I don't know.. it has by far been the most popular song with my circle of friends. The day after the YouTube Awards everyone was posting it. It's my third favorite song on ARTPOP. I'd love for a music video.
I was just wondering, cause a friend of mine who doesn't really love Gaga inboxed me with the Dope performance and she toldme that she couldnt believe how fresh Dope made Gaga seem...and that it is also a perfect ballad. I know it's nothing, but made me wonder
I love Gaga to death, but the only way for this o smash is for her to drastically tone down her antics and go around wearing simple and plainly pretty clothes and haircut and try to at least cause the appeal Adele's simplicity caused during the time SLY smashed. It does have the potential
I've always loved the lyrics of the song, especially the 2nd verse.
Toast one last puff,
And two last regrets.
Three spirits, and
Twelve lonely steps
Up heaven's stairway to gold;
Mine myself like coal,
A mountain of a soul.
I love Dope, but...
