This is why I wish the Lady Gaga Movie that she was filming since 2012 wasn't cancelled, I bet there was so much behind-the-scenes footage that they captured
SHICD being fresher than anything on ARTPOP Great song. DITD is overrated but I can understand why people love it. Telephone doesn't belong on the album at all and I don't buy her reason for putting it on TFM...but it gave us an iconic video and iconic never performed live collab
Telephone was definitely the label's work though. They forced it on her to give her some kind of collab. It also seems like back then they were always trying to push her for a bigger urban/rhythmic appeal and that didn't really end up happening.
