Dope is so underrated, I still think it's one of her best ballads

No!

 

ARTPOP should’ve been planned in July 2013 the same way chromatica had been planned and finalised with the single choices rollout etc .  Applause-DWUW w/ better feature + MV, and then IWBWY should’ve come in February 2014 and been used to sell the album, and start a transition over to HAC and be a palette cleanser. Grammys 2014 performance was originally booked for ARTPOP. the fall months and that song would’ve matched perfectly. Also Wrecking Ball had just been smashing hard, so there was a place for a relatable ballad like that. Especially with the big Gaga performance rollout that she cracked perfectly with how music used to sell, 

 

Looking back at it, AP wasn’t a total catastrophe people said no to (like Witness). It was never going to be a smash but I think with a plan before release they could stick to, no R Kelly, no manager fallout, a proper planned third single it’d not be such a downfall for her and it’d have hit 2xPlatinum in the US now 

ARTPOP was a 65% decline from BTW whereas Witness was a 78% decline from Prism, you are right. ARTPOP was saved from being a total flop by “Applause” being a hit with longevity, and “DWUW” was a moderate hit too, whereas CTTR fell down the charts much faster and the other singles bombed.

It really is. And personally I feel like it would’ve made the best third single from ARTPOP. Nothing else was going to be a radio hit so may as well give some variety.

I WONT LET GO TIL THE END

IWBWY is a HORRID cheesy Disney "I love you my little monsterzz!!1!!!" lyrics'd ballad. The way we were that close to her ME! moment with those kindergarten lyrics, I always shudder even thinking about it 

 

Dope was the right choice and will ALWAYS remain superior.

this is the biggest spill I've ever seen in this base WHEW

I'll Never Love Again is also a hit, 400m on Spotify and 600m on YouTube should be considered a hit

I know some Taylor swift fans are britney and katy stans hiding behind taylor's success but some taylor fans are genuinely so bothered by gaga's existence. No shocker with Britney fans though since they basically attack any female artist that's a threat to their fave. 

 

*Gaga gives a heartfelt message in support of Britney*

 

Britney stans "Fake *****! She's only speaking out now because she has a new movie to promote"

 

A lot of Britney stans are also hybrid Madonna stans so there you go.

ARUTW is beautiful but come on this just shows lack of faith in her songwriting capabilities lol. She is only 36 years old I am pretty sure she will release more ballads in the future that will top ARUTW. 

Her Grammy winning song list really shows quality when you think about it

1. Poker Face

2. Bad Romance 

3. Joanne PV 

4. Shallow

5. INLA 

7. ROM 

Dope is great and has amazing production, way better than I Wanna Be With You
