They're both beautiful, but they're really the same song, just different versions. As much as I love "I wanna be with you", I prefer Dope. I think the way she really opens up there is so touching. Dope, to me, is a more personal version of IWBWY. :-)
i am a fan,, but i personally believe gaga is exploiting addiction for publicity. if she is a "recovering addict" as she says, she would NOT be drinking and smoking pot. addicts cannot use anything in moderation. and i am personally angered by this. i also don't see why no one else feels this way,,
OMG no! Its still about her fans! When she sings 'I need YOU more then dope', she means with 'you' us, her fans (plural not a single person) and she needs us more the dope (=in this case dope is a kind of addictive drug). She need needs more then a addicted needs his DOPE, wich is a very deep thing! ITS STILL ABOUT US!
There's a reason why she sand IWBWY to us during the iTunes Fest. She wanted to give us a song to tell us how she loved us and then tell us how we saved her from drugs with DOPE. We have both songs instead of one. Why still complain?!
It still holds the same meaning to me. I love the both of them equally. I Wanna Be With You and I Need You More Than Dope both kind of say the same thing. I think it's supposed to be about the people she loves most, only different words for different people. She doesn't love us any less, Dope can still be ours :)
