She will slay with her MV.

Sorry to burst your bubble but based on what we've seen, the video will be really simple and not impactful enough to make a turnaround. The promo images and the clips we've seen all show her performing the song in the front of an audience. The aesthetic will probably be good because the directors are photographers, but that's it, tbh.

We just have to accept that this is not going to do good and remember that she doesn't care about the charts so we shouldn't either.

I knew what it was as soon as I saw it. Almost like looking it right in the face.

FourFiveSeconds was a hit. Wasn't a smash. And certainly an underperformance from an entire career stand point but did it really matter when Work - the first single - smashed anyway? Weird comparison.

Gaga is a different musician and you'd be right calling her that instead of popstar.

Cheers ladies. Lost a battle but we shall win the war

Well in the end of the day you can't do anything to help the song's itunes position so I don't see why are you so emotional since it's not up to you. Get over it.

Interesting how the stanbases of Beyonce, Adele and Taylor are generally confident in their favs and so aren't obsessing over Gaga's stats.

Why are the haters in the PI thread?

[Sakamoto]

a mod needs to come clean up this thread, trolling and flamebait all over, why are y'all so insecure that you can't just take it to SYG or to the multiple flamebait Gaga thread instead ? or do y'all really need the wp's ? because that's all that y'all be getting in here

the 20th feel so far away yet it's literally 3 days from now

PI isn't a pop song.

a real excuse would be calling this a buzz single like y'all did to 45S once it plummeted down the charts and failed to garner enough commercial success so Rih along with you disowned it as a lead single, I mean THAT is what I would call an excuse, saying a song doesn't fit the pop mold by having unfiltered vocals and heavy rock influence now that's a fact sis, but you are free to believe whatever as long as it makes you sleep better at night

4/5s was a bigger than anything gaga released since born this way single tho..

You said it's a Heavy Rock song and I corrected you. It's also listed as a Pop song on iTunes.

No shade but are you ESL? That's not what he said at all.

Can we all acknowledge the fact that Bobby is not the manager you all made him out to be

He (and whoever else are making the decisions) is extremely shortsighted. He should have took a page out of Rihanna's/Ariana G's book and kept the album release date unknown, to gauge how the risky lead does first.

Amateur mistake. And could be a costly one.

Edit: or is it interscope who decides these things? Whoever it is, dropped the ball.

Talent doesn't need to drag talent, it seems. Plus the Hive specifically know what it's like to stan for an authentic, acclaimed, highly respected artist with little to no charts success (for some time.)

I don't have time to argue with Jessie J chartfreak stans from up here. Idk about the rest of y'all and your Grammyless favs. We're busy discussing music, not our faves next line of jewellery

[RT Air]

I love how suddenly it's "bad" and "not quality", yet y'all praised it to the heavens when it shot straight to #1 on iTunes.

Just keep streaming the song so it eventually reaches 100 million on spotify so it's not remembered as a total, monumental disaster

No offense, but judging on GP reactions, and the way it's performing now on Spotify. We have to bring out the candles to hope it hits 50 million. It's probably not even going to see the top 50 anymore after tomorrow. Unless the video really sparks interest again.

I agree. If they do ever push back the album, the media will have a field day and everyone will be calling her a flop.

But then again, if she says she doesnt care about the charts, this shouldn't be pushed back and she/her team has to EXPECT not so good numbers if PI continues to underperform/flop like this in the next few weeks.

Pretty sure he knows what he is doing. They knew what they were getting themselves into. Otherwise GaGa would have been at theVMAs, Ellen, GMA, Tonight Show, and more. It was a calculated risk, probably to help usher in the fact that this likely won't be your typical pop era with GaGa being thrown into every medium
