She deletes the audios so they don't take away attention from the real music videos! Gaga doesn't care about views, she just wants her art and vision to be seen by many! The audio for Judas had nearly 70 million views and the audio for Born This Way had 100 million but she took them down when the music videos came out.
GAGA YOU SHOULDN'T UPLOAD APPLAUSE AUDIO ON YOUTUBE BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN DOWNLOAD IT ILLEGALLY. I GUESS THAT'S THE REASON WHY APPLAUSE CAN'T BE #1 IN ITUNES US.
i thought the same. i checked out other artitst (for example katy perry - roar audio) is also deleted i think if therse a lyric video they delete the audio
NO ITS NOT DELETE ITS ONLY LOCKED, YOU CAN SEE IT IF YOU HAVE THE LINK. AND THEY DID THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO US TO MAKE VIEWS ON THE LYRIC VIDEO AND THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ;) that's all
