Already mentioned, but S&S.

Roar is a pure pop song, not dance. Both songs are generic, yes, but one fits right in line with the times and the other is behind the times. Not to mention, she took a huge hit to her radio power last era, so if anyone needed to keep up with the pace and pander to the current radio trend (rather than something that could have been a hit a year ago when it had already been selected as the lead single

), it was Gaga.
At the end of the day, though, unless she releases "I Wanna Be With You," which would be be better suited for what's going on in radio currently, she may not get a hit this era. "Swine" won't do it, for sure. And too much could go wrong with "Sex Dreams."
