Gaga already #3. She might clock Katy today.

 

[Nemesis_]

She's doing it slower than Katy though, isn't she?

[Matt_]

I have awoken and it's STILL not on UK itunes
Itunes popped and said I could change my store location though, does that work or will it fuck up all my billing shit?

edit; Not that it means anything, but Applause has surpassed Roar with Likes and comments on youtube

Spoiler

Dislikes too but I'd be more surprised if she didn't

 

[Partition]

Err no, much faster so far

Also Katy debuted like in the hundreds as opposed to #7

 

[Matt_]

Katy Perry accused of stealing Thiefonce and her influence

Spoiler

The claim is a load of shit

edit; Detox attacking Gaga when filming She looks petrified

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE

For what it's worth, they weren't fighting they were apparently reenacting a scene from Orange Is The New Black

Yeh I saw on ATRL, but then I saw on his twitter that he has no time for her so I don't know whether he was just being shady :L

edit; UK DJ gushing over applause with a hugely positive response through texts. I wonder if she will beat out Ellie to get #1 this week, BTW peaked at 3 here

TWITTER EMPRESS CHER laying the smackdown on the Little Munsters, I cannot

 

[twobear]

I'm done. No matter what I say someone is going to derail it again and again and again and again to make it seem like Beyoncé had no part in anything that happened in Pop Culture.. I saw exactly what I need to see to prove my point as always.

Moving on. I'm not going to continue this argument.. It's like 5 against 1..

There is literally no point engaging them sis. Keep your enjoyment of Beyoncé to yourself in PopGAF, you will only receive shit for it.

 

[Supermanisdead]

this ban on beyoncé 'propaganda' to 'protect the children' is clearly a diversion tactic to keep the popgaf general public unaware of the reality that gaga sucks. the current regime is so transparent.

Spoiler

boycott sochi

 

[twobear]

The battle has been decided. I woke up with Roar in my head this morning. GG Gaga, you tried.

 

[Nemesis_]

Poor pressed Bey stans.

In case you're not following the OT:

It's finally up on on Spotify. :__:

I've been using Youtuberepeat to listen to the song. ;__;

 

[Nemesis_]

Is it on iTunes for you yet Stef? I swear she's punishing us for keeping MTN below 80 =/

 

[Styles]

Nope. I've been refreshing the damn iTunes page every 10 minutes.

She tweeted this 2 hours ago:

Lady Gaga ‏@ladygaga 3h
ITUNES IN AUSTRALIA HAS APPLAUSE + ARTPOP PRE-ORDER NOW AUSSIEMONSTERS GO!

 

[twobear]

nnn why am I laughing

 

[Poker Face]

Applause is #2 on the iTunes charts. Keep climbing the charts godga

 

[Supermanisdead]

the first verse and chorus are good. the second verse is too lyrically dense.

 

[Artemisia]

@ Applause being #3

I thought it would easily hit number 1 by the morning.

 

[Vashetti]

but waiT

So thirsty

 

[Supermanisdead]

"we r nvr evr gttng bck tgthr"

 

[Artemisia]

Oop at ha misinformation, the current record is held by FloRida's Right Round, not WANEGBT.

 

[twobear]

So are we all agreed that the verses and applause applause applause bit of Applause are the best parts? The make them touch bit sounds like generic euro pop the more I listen to it.

 

[Matt_]

That picture looks an awful lot like Prince

In other news, Applause still isn't on itunes, so I've momentarily transitioned to Ellie Goudling - Burn and it's slaying me all over again

I wont even be pressed if it retains the number 1 spot this week

I felt those were the worst parts

 

[twobear]

What.

Also it's not euro pop, I realised that the choruses sound like slightly generic big beat a la early Pendulum.

Good Morning America ‏@GMA 11m
.@ladygaga will be on @GMA Monday premiering her new video! Who's tuning in?

GMA is pretty big right?

 

[twobear]

.

Kiiiii, who thinks the leaks weren't deliberate now?

 

[Matt_]

Kiiiii, who thinks the leaks weren't deliberate now?

She was planning to debut it on the 19th anyway though

 

[twobear]

She was planning to debut it on the 19th anyway though

And I'm sure GMA just cancelled whoever was supposed to be on there this morning to make room for her, yesterday.

 

[Matt_]

And I'm sure GMA just cancelled whoever was supposed to be on there this morning to make room for her, yesterday.

I am really confused as to what you're trying to say
GMA have just announced that Gaga will be on their show on the 19th and they will play the music video. 19th was the original release date and Gaga said the video was coming the same day, so this would have been booked ages ago
GMA haven't canceled anything today there show is going on this morning like it normally would

Oh, I misread the tweet. My bad.

[edit]Pathetic disgusting 5th grade education strikes again etc.

#NVAY

UK music channels making their own video

edit; So if the actual video is coming monday, and she was filming the lyric video last night, does that mean it will have three versions on youtube? Should help with ha streaming

 

[twobear]

I have no idea how anybody could think the bridge isn't the best bit of Applause. Every time it hits I sing along, and then get a bit disappointed by the chorus.

 

[Artemisia]

Applause isn't on UK iTunes according to Kworb, so Ellie is safe for now

 

[Courage]

The disappointing chorus of Applause is still ten times better than Roar. Seriously curb stomped Katy.

Not even close though, Roar's chorus is a massive singalong. In fact the songs are the complete opposite for me, Applause fails to deliver on the promise of the verse and bridge, Roar overdelivers on value in the chorus.

[edit] Paging Mummei for a singing analysis: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/universe/black_hole_sound.html

Astronomers in England have discovered a singing black hole in a distant cluster of galaxies. In the process of listening in, the team of astronomers not only heard the lowest sound waves from an object in the Universe ever detected by humans, but they've also discovered an important clue about the formation of galaxy clusters -- the largest structures in the cosmos.

Using the piano keyboard's middle C note as a reference point for the middle of the piano key music range, Fabian's team determined the note is a B -flat. On a piano, the B-flat nearest middle C is located midway between 1/8th and 2/8th of an octave away. In musical terminology, this B flat is 1-1/2 steps from middle C.

But are they as Emotive™ as Rihanna?

 

[Courage]

A massive singalong that is a poor derivative of her previous successful hits and with lyrics that a kindergartner would cringe at.

@ a 'poor derivative of her previous successful hits and lyrics that a kindergartner would cringe at' are better than Lady Gaga's best effort

"I overheard your theory, nostalgia is for geeks/I guess, sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read."

 

[Courage]

At least I can hope for the rest of Gaga's album to be better, I already know Perry's new album is gonna sound just as bad as this shit single.

 

[Matt_]

I did my bit and bought ha this morning, even though the album is just round the corner
Hadn't realised that she only released last night

 

[Nemesis_]

Courage is spilling the partial truth tea and I'm here for it.

I'm not here for Applause still not being on fucking iTunes.

 

[twobear]

At least I can hope for the rest of Gaga's album to be better, I already know Perry's new album is gonna sound just as bad as this shit single.

Six great singles from Teenage Dream pegs it as a better album than Born This Way though; so I would say the evidence for your statement is lacking.

 

[Phreaker]

welp

HAHA, classic tweet from the Goddess. She'll probably be getting a colonic Friday for Madonna's Birthday. I also love her WTF is a Cher Llyod tweet.

The bridge is fantastic.

Preach. 15 seconds of perfect pop music.

 

[Soulscribe]

Preach. 15 seconds of perfect pop music.
