when i heard aura in august 2013 i really thought artpop album is about to be the best ever. The song (old version) sounded so futuristic modern and agressive, i had the best eargasm ever.
Aura would have been the most fucking perfect first single. Seriously would've been the next Bad Romance. Pisses me off. Applause seems to pander to the crowd while Aura is so AUTHENTICALLY her and where she is now. It screams at you and has an ENERGY like Bad Romance did, it's never passive.
See, this is why she should leave mainstream "pop" music. They don't care about her voice and opinion, they're just using her as a product and I hate that, she deserves so much better. She's paid her fame dues during the fame and fame monster, I think by now she deserves to make her own decisions for her career rather than having some label trying to control her like a puppet.
And she blamed her fans for it! Remember how she exploded about "Aura"'s leak? If it's true that she leaked it herself, then she has no one to blame but herself. But *nooo*, she never blames herself for anything -.-
Interscope didn't want Alejandro as a single neither. It was succesful and is one of Gaga's best-selling singles, and one of her best singles. A lot of people that I know love that song, and they're not monsters or fans
I always am skeptical on whether the posts on LM and twitter are true about what she says backstage but it's not bogus accounts on her future plans this time I truly believe what they said was true ! Aura would have been great! It still has time to shine as another single! Honestly I think between aura/Venus/gypsy would be great as singles! With the right promotion radio play and video they'd be just as big as her other singles! I just hope that check to check isn't her last album. I honestly do want artpop act ii it's just a matter or promotion this time and with live nation part of her management team I think it would do just fine!!
I think Gaga was right with Aura for a single, look at the point that Aura was the most spoken of 2013 with 6 million Google searches in 10 minutes :) I think she proven Interscope that Aura is huge :D
