Aura would've done a terrible job selling the album tbh, and the general public wouldn't be here for it and probably not radio either so it wouldn't have had the longevity Applause did. The album would be in a worse situation right now, believe it or not.

After Aura leaked, it gained airplay on Australian radio and TFM went back up to like 50 on UK iTunes (more than the discount helped Artpop recently). It's the smash that never happened.

Eh I don't think so I only loved Aura cause of that chorus

Aura could have been one of her biggest hits with actual pop verses/BR or PFish verses. The loud ass EDM beats don't help either but oh well.

Aura is perfection as it is, I love it and it's my second favorite after Gypsy on the album but it would've been another Judas or worse and we know it. People are not here for the intro or the verses, it's a nice album track though.

songs like Aura or MANiCURE had so much potential

Gross really I can't remember the last time I listened to it

Am i the only one who prefers born this way to artpop. I hated born this way first but now love it, Artpop apart from a couple of songs is kind of tame in comparison

And then she purposefully sabotaged them.

At least in the case of Aura.

No. BTW is one of the best pop albums of the decade, and I'm not just saying that as a blind stan. Buying that + Applause made me a stan in August.

the way she growls those verses in MANiCURE
She loves that song too

[Skywalker]

MANiCURE has potential. In fact, so does Gypsy and Fashion!. Venus could have worked as a lead single but I don't see that happening now. Shame how she sabotaged her promo for the album and then killed it only to try and revive it. There's a ton of filler but there are some truly wonderful songs.

No, Born This Way is her best album. ARTPOP is not

[Brunette Ambition]

After 6 months of ARTPOP I came to the conclusion that Born This Way is her best album indeed.
In future it will be remembered as her best album by most of her fanabse, tbh.

[jayyyxtee]

Even though I have no faith in her anymore I seriously do pray that the tour does not suck. I wanna have a good time

I agree. But it is also important to note that it came out at the forefront of the beginning of the gay rights crusade and you can bet that it had a great influence. Telling a whole new generation that they are "perfect" and to accept yourself because God made you perfect and you were "born this way?" Does any current artist have that level of impact? I think not.

True.
Born This Way era was really something else in success, art and impact.
It's so underrated on ATRL tho just because it only had one #1.
Her Magnum Opus. Fame Monster who?

I think that's more the single than the album tbh, even though the album had a few empowering anthems like Hair and Bad Kids I believe she didn't actually do the whole "empowerment" concept all throughout. Not saying I wanted an album full of self-empowering hymns but I'm saying I love the variety she had and how she played with concepts like "religion" in Judas, Electric Chapel, Black Jesus and death with The Edge Of Glory and also included the concept she wanted about living between reality and fantasy giving us songs like Highway Unicorn and Bloody Mary to a certain extent.
