Mhm, but, I mean, they thought it was a sure-fire hit. Blame TEOG for flop singles. After the reception of TEOG, Gaga thought everyone wanted 80s Gaga, so she forwarded with a Shania Twain reject track and then another 80s track, MTN. Her single choices go against everything she said about the album. She said it was pushing the boundaries and she wanted to showcase that, yet she released all the safe songs. 
She should have released HML, Scheisse, BTW, TEOG, and a few other experimental tracks. |
"Born This Way" is probably the most 80s sounding track on the album; if not, the public would have still perceived as that because of the "Express Yourself" comparisons. It's true that most of the singles are very influenced by older music, but you rarely see the top popstar in the world singing a country-rock ballad with Brian May or incorporate Clarence Clemons' saxophone, organ, church bells in her most personal album.
I would have loved her to release singles in this order:
1. Marry The Night
2. The Edge Of Glory
3. Hair/Born This Way
4. Heavy Metal Lover
5. Scheisse
6. Government Hooker
