My suggestion is that instead of whining and predicting how this song perform on iTunes, you should save your energy and comments until we get the first week sales report

Where have you seen me mention anything about itunes or sales? Heres the thing, the demo leaking caused an immensely negative backlash from social justice teams online which bled into everyone elses psyche, now when it gets released on a massive scale imagine the kind of backlash it will receive then? she doesn't need that kind of negative attention. Its stupid to release it in any form in my opinion but alas theres nothing I can do about it.
Heres where one of you say "shes a 'risky' artist and you cant expect her to be safe, she pushes peoples buttons, blah blah, etc etc" but the song isn't provocative in a way thats intelligent or well crafted, it sort of tip toes around provocation with her use of the word burqa and with her implications of burqas which was done on purpose to cause a stir with said social justice warriors. But its not actually provocative and all the controversy will be in vain. I don't think any of you quite understand the impact social justice has on popular culture these days and regardless of your own personal opinions on whether or not this song is actually offensive, it is seen as offensive to many and their voices are loud especially when it comes to being given a chance to tear down Lady Gaga which people seek constantly and that will affect not only the songs popularity but her own already scarred reputation.
On top of all of that though, the song really isn't even worth it. Of what we've heard she has better (Sex Dreams) and im sure theres better of what we haven't heard. Aura lyrically is kind of dumb regardless of its use of the word burqa "to hide the gorgeousness of my face" I mean really? Gaga can write better lyrics than that.
