Damn, this is way too polarizing to have been a single. IDK why they ever thought to release it to begin with. As much as DWUW is not my favorite, it definitely has more mass appeal and I feel like it will do well as a single. But legit, Applause sounds better than this.
omg how are people hating on this Its makes DWYW sound so basic The fact that this is just the verse and that the chorus is even better than this has hyped me up so much
Venus is the better song
Do What U Want is the better single
I personally prefer Venus over Do What U Want but I can see why they picked DWUW as the next single
And tbh both are singles imo, both are getting videos, but only one will be played on radio (which I don't care about cuz I never listen to radio)
I think Venus could SMASH in Europe, I keep reading how it reminds people of ABBA and 80's euro-pop. I wish she released it here, the snippet totally slays me and I don't want it to become an overlooked gem
DWUW is so safe! I get that's what Gaga need at this point of her career but I don't think that song would keep me (or most fans) interested for months to come.
I totally understand why the record company chose DWUW as a single. It's the safest single she probably has ever releaed and I HATE that. If I wanted safe i'd stand for others.
Venus is different, catchy chorus. I really hope they push it if it gets received well by the public.
