Support NeoGAF

[Nemesis_]

Now that the hype has died down a little bit, I think the only part I really hate is the first chorus. Everything else is really fun. I'm not sure how this will do on mainstream radio however.

Will fix the links when I wake up ;_;

 

[twobear]

This will be great for Real Music Lovers.

Lordt I hope not

 

[Hige]

I love the buildup at 2:45. Not feeling the weird Bowie accent in the verses though.

 

[Matt_]

I am thoroughly slain, they best be snappy with that itunes release

 

[Mononoke]

I don't think it's bland but it could use a bit of clean up. You can't really hear her and the production is kinda all over the place.

I guess I just don't find the hook to be infectious/catchy at all. But that's just me.

 

[JJDinomite]

Now this is REAL MUSIC. Gaga has taken inspiration from the past and combined it with sensational production. It makes you feel both refreshed and nostalgic. It's a real shame more artist out their don't take the time to craft real music of this caliber anymore.

I can never tell if PopGAF is trolling, or just plain stupid.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

PopGAF scares me

 

[Angelus Errare]

So this album is going to bomb too huh?

Gaga stay holdin those Ls.

 

[botty]

Are you saying this song isn't good?

 

[peaceiscloser]

This song is ... something

Maybe the rest of the album will have something bigger, this didn't thrill me too much.

 

[OchreHand]

I like this, great production and the chorus is wonderful. Watching a giant crowd clapping to this will be epic.

Her Bowie esque impersonation put me off at first but it grew on me.

Her VMA performance will be one to remember

 

[Ties]

Born This Way with EDM production stapled on it.

Moderate hit at best.

 

[Kisaya]

Just heard it on the radio, and I'm mad that they decided to play it twice in a row -_-

I don't like it. The chorus is kinda catchy but ughhhh...

Still looking forward to the video, I guess.

Real music? This is new stuff is terrible compared to Fame Monster, so was that album fake music?

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

The "hoo-hoo-hoooohoohh" before the final chorus and the crowd noises in the final chorus are a thing of beauty.

I'll withhold my opinion on the rest of the song.

 

[botty]

no that was REALER music.

The post is sarcastic.

 

[Krev]

It's okay. Usually I love pop songs with this sort of chorus, so I feel like I should be all over this.
Verses sound awful.
I don't think this will be a hit.

 

[Lebron]

*listens*


She kept us waiting for that? Stay struggling

 

[Matt_]

That shady ass title change

 

[MIMIC]

This is probably the most elaborate OP I have ever seen for an artist's single.

Nicely done (even though I don't understand the "Katy won" part)

 

[Robot Pants]

This has to be the most confusing thread title ever.

Mods trying it

 

[Soulscribe]

Welcome back Gaga. It's been shit without you.

 

[botty]

Welcome back Gaga. It's been shit without you.

 

[paperheart]

Katy won what? Please. Wait till after the VMA performance. GaGa will have everyone mesmerized then.

I love "Applause" and I think it will do well.

I didn't know it was possible for a leg injury to reduce the amount of appeal a person has.

 

[Aguila]

Lady Gaga APPLAUSE Lead single from ARTPOP [OUT NOW. QUEEN HAS RETURNED] [Katy won]

No she did not.

 

[Servbot24]

Seems like a bad song. Was hoping I would never have to say this, but Katy did indeed win.

Yes Servbot, clock the deluded stans with your flawless taste in music.

I am perched for your imminent return to PopGAF.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Love the new single. Much better than Aura

 

[Feep]

I'm not a big Gaga fan, but this song is pretty good.

 

[gofreak]

Between Katy and Gaga, I know for sure which one Europe will prefer. And possibly go nuts for.

 

[Beerman462]

Katy won this round.

Rihanna?

 

[gofreak]

Rihanna?

Well it ain't going to be Roar, that's for sure. Sorry Katy.

 

[Ragnarsson]

I wasn't expecting this after listening to the snippets, but I loved the song. It's fun and catchy. Then I gave Roar a listen, too... I dunno what the hell happened, but somehow Katy's voice sounds incredibly annoying in that song. Round one, Gaga wins.

 

[3phemeral]

I've had this on repeat from iHeart Radio for the past 30 minutes or so. Everything about the song is catchy as hell, but those damned Bowie-inspired verses are a mess. I will use this though.

I love almost both equally but I had the same reaction. I ended up liking Applause alot more.

Updated the links, we only have one so far haha

None of the links work including the blue one. I'd like to listen.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I like the hook but that beat.........

She should've took Timbaland up on his offer and let him produce for her.

It's steaming on iHeartRadio, but I don't have an account there so I've used streaming links from blogs:

It's growing on me more now that I've heard it in HQ. Lyrics are awful though.

Spoiler

...and Katy still won

 

[Kisaya]

God it's growing on me now too... Godga T_T

Although I don't wanna compare, I like Applause a lot more than Roar.

Aahhhhhh what am I going to do ;;
