nnn at every single big lead single being underwhelming
Roar - Brave/Kelly Clarkson rip off
Applause - Grating, loud and obnoxious
and now Eminem's sounding like every other pop crossover song ever. Only Britbot and Pepce have yet to reveal and we can't really expect anything exciting from either of them.
Didn't "Bad Romance" also peak at #2 on iTunes its debut week and then launch at only #8 on the Hot 100? I remember there was discussion then about whether the chanting was just too weird for audiences to get behind. Maybe "Applause" can be saved by a great video as well. (Whether Gaga is capable of producing one anymore...)
