You Don't Know What She Has In Stock For Future Singles. Most Basic Singles To You, But She Really Only Had One Major Underperforming Single So Far , And She Has Yet To Have An Underperforming Album.
If This Turns Out True, You And Me Both Know That Gaga Showing Up As Jo Calderone As Host Of The 2011 VMAs Will Get MAJOR MAJOR Headlines ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif) And Honestly That's What Her And Her Label Are After. It NEVER Was All About The Music. Theatrics = Gimmicks As Well ![bat](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/3f73a955.gif)

My expectations were not too high. Four million in three months is all good and well, but look at the bigger picture and is it really that surprising when she's following an album that sold 13 million copies? No, it's not. If you take a closer look and realise that she opened with two million copies in her first week you will note how front-loaded the sales were and how fast they fell off in the coming months due to a lack of hit singles to sell the album.
It doesn't matter what her next single is going to be. Judas was supposed to be a huge smash, it flopped. TEOG was supposed to be huge, it was an average top ten hit. You and I has yet to enter the top 100 on iTunes despite considerable airplay and substantial buzz. It has all the makings of a flop.
It will create major headlines, but if it doesn't sell albums then what's the point? She's not going to come out of it looking good.
I know theatrics and gimmicks are the same thing. I like to vary my vocabulary, dear.
