I would say it's her fault for not listening to her fans and releasing Scheisse, but... fan-voted singles for Rihanna and Britney flopped, so it seems like the fanbases really don't know what's best anyway.

Marry The Night was the 2nd most voted song only after ScheiBe.

It was also supposed to be the lead single.

Other than Stronger, you'd find it difficult to name another of her tracks. To the gen pop, at least

Oh, I am glad that You and I was released. It's her best song in my opinion. The "fan single" this time around I think was Marry the Night, because even though she wanted to have it released as the lead single it really wasn't being reconsidered until there was a **** ton of unwarranted praise form the monsters.

Marry The Night is her best song and should have been the second single. Any other song would have performed worse.

Lyrically a good song, but Mutt's production on it wasn't good. Not to mention, Brian May could have been left off if he wasn't going to get a featured credit. I'm sure many rock fans wouldn't know he was on the song, other than the VMAs performance, and that's where the appeal could have gone to.
(I'll take this to your wall to avoid OT...  )
And Starships doesn't seem to want to leave the top ten. Interesting how it's just... sticking around like Super Bass did.

Also, I don't see Carly having much of a problem creating a large lead if she snatches #1. Kelly gained a 30%+ lead when she was number one, and Stronger wasn't a hit the size of WAY or STIUTK either.

Because it will. Even if today's updates were the same for each for another week, "PP" will stay ahead. She won't be overtaking them with four formats support, while she primarily pop. And "Stronger" was still a fresh, new song when it went #1. Carly is already going to pass 2 million downloads this week.

227k ~ 221k ~ 221k ~ 210k, is not really almost 300k. And still "PP" is over 100% combined, so my original point stands, she won't be getting far away enough from Gotye/M5 to hit the top.

No. It's a terrible song and lucky she didn't push it earlier as the era would've sunk even faster.

I liked Marry the Night. The release strategy was bad though. Marry the Night should have been the 2nd single. But not with that horrible video.

Amen, sista.
Amen.
And I'm already seeing the little monsters having orgasms all over this song. I guess I just don't get the hype. To me it's just an overproduced mess.

I'd say people are likely to bring up "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and even "Because Of You" as memorable Kelly singles in addition to "Stronger".

Since U Been Gone was one of the biggest songs of 2005, so I'd be very surprised if people forgot that.
I think Lady Gaga's single choices last year were good. The only bad choice was Judas (for the US at least, it was a big hit in my country). But Judas came before the album. It's different then, because you don't know what the public think of the song until you release it, whilst with songs that come after albums you get a general idea of whether people like the song or not.
I'm not sure if Scheisse would've been a big hit. Maybe bigger than Marry the Night, but it sounds similar to Judas, which the public didn't seem to like, so I think Scheisse might've also missed the top 10 tbh.

She should've just taken the risk and gone with Heavy Metal Lover

That's the thing though...the production is better than the production + her vocals.

Judas flopped because she "insulted the Catholic religion" with that song and radios were too scared to play it. It was a bad choice, but not because of its sound. Scheisse would have been better as a second single, but would have missed the top 50 after Marry The Night.

Yes, I agree with you. The instrumentals are amazing, but they don't blend with her voice too well.

Ikr? With a little radio edit it could've been the biggest hit of BTW, it's like a Bad Romance 2.0
