Omg this sounds like a great ballad but please Jesus oh please let it NOT be the lead single.
It can't be. It just can't. She has to do something Poker Face/Bad Romance related.

Let's have some fun this beat is sick?
Minus the Ra ra one I'm almost positive she's create a few on BTW that are better than 1 and 3. With Judas Juda Ah Ah being a rehash of BR
|
But there was no hook in BTW that became insanely popular. The whole world knows about "Rah rah rah ah ah" & "puh puh puh poker face"
She has to make insane dance music for her next album. For the sake of her career.

lmao it was a damn panic performance tho! How much can you expect from it?! She probably didn't even plan it. She probably just decide to do it right when she was sitting at the piano.

It was for Vanity Fair. & I was wondering the same thing too.
I wonder how she plans on turning it into a dance song if it does end up being the catchy pop song they were talking about.
Then again, she turned Just Dance into a ballad at Jimmy Lovine's birthday party 3 years ago. So anything is possible at this point.

This is not the song she played for Vanity Fair. Like Gaga herself said, it was the first time ever she sang it.

Here's the tea from Melbourne:
Quote:
LADY Gaga last night raised the stadium show bar with her Born This Way Ball tour - and that included her audiences, hundreds of whom wore garish Gaga-esque costumes and make-up to her first Melbourne show.
In the first of five shows, the pop superstar managed not one, but two spectacular entrances - the first atop an elaborate ''horse'', worthy of the multimillion-dollar War Horse production, as she opened with Highway Unicorn, and the second when she was ''birthed'' via a giant inflatable vagina as she launched into her mega-hit Born This Way.
Oh, and in between she elicited squeals from the rapturous crowd as she sang Government Hooker while a back-up dancer simulated a sex act on her prone body. Perhaps it was three entrances?
The lavishly executed show, which features a four-storey Masters of the Universe-style castle set piece, is the live equivalent of a concept album, described by Gaga as an ''electro-metal-pop-opera''. It's mostly unclear exactly what that concept is, but it certainly looks impressive - even if Gaga's asides and swearing feel stage-managed to the syllable.
Atmospheric music, dry ice and a baffling floating ''head'' filled the occasional gaps as the singer changed into increasingly twisted costumes, part Grace Jones, part HR Giger. The mostly high-powered set included hits Just Dance, Judas, Black Jesus, Bad Romance and Paparazzi, peppered with exhortations to ''sing it, Melbourne'', ''get up'', and assurances from arguably the biggest name in pop that ''she's just like us''.

FIRST REVIEW: IT'S a shame Lady Gaga has inexplicably banned media from photographing her Born This Way Ball. It's spectacular.
It's also spectacularly weird. Think a cyber-gothic Rock Eisteddfod directed by George Lucas and Tim Burton.
Allow us to paint you the picture
Gaga doesn't want you to see. Fog. A medieval castle-style towering over a heaving 'Monster pit'.
Which is just like a regular mosh pit, except full of fans expressing their individuality . . . by dressing exactly like Gaga. And aliens.
Gaga's not like other pop stars. Which is why the no media rule is strange.
It's not like she's vain - she covers her face in blood and body in meat.
For Born This Way she is birthed through an anatomically-correct large inflatable female.
There's your lesson in reproduction right there, kids.
And there were plenty of young kids at the Ball, throwing their tiny paws up.
Which is odd considering Gaga's default setting is odd. With plenty of swearing.
And this is a dark show - with themes of aliens and alienation.
She murders a space creature with a machine gun before the second song is over.
Mama, did she just kill a man? Well, kind of.
The show is performed in character - something about Gaga being an alien invading earth to become our popstar.
How much is contrived weirdness, who knows.
She's certainly visually inspired by late Melbourne artist Leigh Bowery, who was far from mainstream.
Few artists who could fill Rod Laver Arena five times as she has on this tour with a show that encourages them to be as bizarre as possible.
Gaga's delivering on that brief.
Luckily there's still great songs in the often chin-scratching stage show.
The filler from her first album has mercifully been dumped, so Bad Romance, Telephone, Poker Face and Paparazzi sit with new material, the best of which, The Edge of Glory and You And I move her sound beyond just energetic electropop.
There did seem to be more of a reliance on singing live over a bed of recorded vocals than last time, but she was still belting it out.
Although it was hard to see her mouth through the various masks and head pieces donned through the 15 costume changes which included being fused to a motorbike and a Dalek-style robofrock.
Melbourne did get the world premiere of a new song bound to cause controversy - piano ballad Princess Die.
But controversy is good for business and business is very good indeed for Lady Gaga.

Review: Lady Gaga leaves Melbourne spellbound and inspired
The world's most famous weirdo, Lady Gaga, had one message for Melbourne tonight - be yourself, no matter what anyone else might say about it.
Lady Gaga's following is akin to a religion. They call themselves her Little Monsters; some of them were at Rod Laver Arena in the freezing cold at 8am to collect their passes to the Monster Pit, allowing them to be as close as possible to their Mother.
Stefani Germanotta knows it too - her stage was decked out with crucifixes and her regular commands were met with automatic responses. "Say my name," she growled at one point. "Show me how much you love me!" There was a distinct feeling that the crowd would do literally anything Gaga said, and to an outsider it may seem a little strange - but after seeing her perform live, it's totally understandable.
The Born This Way Ball has been one of the best kept secrets in the world, with very little official information trickling from show to show. It's a good thing, too - without already knowing what was going to happen, the spectacle was even more jaw-dropping and impressive from the very second the curtain fell to reveal a giant, intricate Gothic castle set and Gaga rode out on a horse.
At times it felt as though the music took a back seat to the flurry of activity on stage. It felt almost cinematic, like watching a carefully constructed film unfold in real life - Gaga was magnetic in her ever-changing costumes, from a replica meat dress to tribal gear to alien outfits, her dancers enveloping her in the most dazzling of ways. All eyes were on her as she strode around the arena, her body moving as freely as liquid, commanded at times by a floating, talking head.
There were elements to the performance that certainly weren't family friendly - after bursting through an inflatable vagina, Gaga lay down on a table where one of her male dancers pushed his head between her legs and simulated cunnilingus. And yet what was so perfect about it was that in spite of the overt and sometimes overbearing sexuality on display, she's actually an incredible role model - the theme of the Born This Way Ball is, after all, being true to yourself, and no message burned brighter throughout the night, with even the most alienated crowd members addressed in thoughtful and touching ways.
As for the music, it was often easy to forget that Gaga was in fact backed by a live band - they were hidden in the folds of the castle, so the focus was always solely on her as she powered through the hits, including "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and, going all the way back to the start of her massive career, "Just Dance".
When Gaga took to the stage alone, though, playing a piano strapped to the back of a motorcycle, it was like seeing her through a completely different light. The woman is, after all, a classically trained musician and her voice rang out with so much more purity when she had nothing to hide behind. In an enormous moment for Melbourne's Little Monsters, she performed a new ballad, "Princess Die", for the first time anywhere in the world.
These were the moments when she opened up more to the crowd, wearing the clothes they threw at her and really cultivating the connection, making herself seem more human. As cliche as it was when she pulled up a young girl during her finale performance of "Marry The Night" and told her to follow her dreams - well, let's just say quite a few Kleenexes were pulled out anyway.
It's strange to think that Gaga wasn't really born this way, that she didn't come out fully formed as one of the world's biggest and best pop stars. The Born This Way Ball was a celebration of weirdness, a way of reaching out to the marginalised kids that no one gets to say "hey, I understand".
Say what you will about Gaga, but there aren't many superstars in the world who can sweep across such a wide spectrum and affect so many different people along the way. Are your paws up?

What i can't understand is why is she doing five dates of 15k (60k) in Melbourne (Same case in Sidney), why can't she just do one date at the Docklands stadium with a capacity of 60k.. 
It's cheaper and more profitable..
Didn't she announced all the Australian dates on the same day?  It's not like she pulled a Hong Kong and started adding date after date cause of high demand..
All i can think is this bitch is securing her tour audience.
Her next tour won't have problems selling out stadiums, even if her next album flops.
A legend indeed

Live Nation announced the first dates in a few arenas, they did not know that the demand was so high! :/
