Honestly, I don't think Born This Way was the wrong lead single. I think it was the only choice for the lead single. But at this point, the performance of Judas is alarming. Yes, I certainly hope it's a Bad Romance waiting to happen, but the difference now is that she is the world's biggest popstar, bar none. Back then, yes, that song was hyped. But this is her time. I'm kind of debating whether it's the fact that Judas is a terrible choice for a second single or if this is just part of the public's general hatred towards her at this point.
If something doesn't change soon (and yes, there is still time), they will to some extent be in deep ****. They must have an extremely high charting and VISIBLE single the week before and the week of the album release. If Judas does not accomplish that by then, something is seriously wrong. The only real emergency escape routes are some massive publicity stunt and releasing a third single undeniable and pushing boatloads of promo behind it. But even this would be a disaster and probably stifle Judas and stop it from being a 2x platinum song. I just don't know.

Gorl, I understand what you're saying about Judas but you have to remember that she
just now promoted the damn song. Born This Way got its debut performance at the Grammys and she had the biggest radio songs debut of this era. I mean, there is no
way on God's green Earth that she is going to be able to have the same or even comparable success with the single...immediately. The song will do fineeee because she has a healthy amount of promo lined up for it.
