    Marry The Night was released in November of 2011, and she broke her hip in February of 2012. It was supposed to be the lead single of the album, but she changed her mind after writing Born This Way. Scheiße was also supposed to be the second single, but I don't know why they changed that spot with Judas + Heavy Metal Lover was supposed to be the final single, but it was canceled after Marry The Night underperformed on the charts. Gaga even performed HML on New Year's Rock Eve 2012. Another fun fact, there are pictures on the internet of the set of the original TEOG music video. They re-used some of it's concepts and ideas for You And I (the mermaid) and Marry The Night (hospital set) music videos

      that is so wrong she wanted born this way to be the lead single her label didn't so she sang it on vma or grammys or idk .
      and i'm sure judas was planned to be the second single it was made to be a single.
      and she didn't broke her hip in 2012 it was in 2013 on her tour

    Gaga wanted 10 singles on the album including Heavy Metal Lover, Government Hooker and Fashion Of His Love, but after Marry The Night underperformed they cancelled them.
    Scheiße was meant to be the 2nd single but was replaced with Judas. It was then going to be one of the 10 singles but the remaining 5 were cancelled after Marry The Night

    • @EljohnMacaranas
      @EljohnMacaranas  4 роки тому +4

      10 singles was way too much for a cycle, even imperial Gaga can’t. Though Fashion of His Love would have been an easy Top 10 tbh.

      @@EljohnMacaranas Not necessarily. 5+ singles were a successful strategy for Pop albums a few times this century, most notably 2006-2008 and 2010-2012:
      FERGIE: The Dutchess (6)
      NELLY FURTADO: Loose (8)
      BEYONCE: B-Day (7) / I Am... Sasha Fierce (9)
      RIHANNA: Good Girl... Gone Bad (6 + 4 [Re-Release]) / Loud (7) / Unapologetic (7)
      KATY PERRY: Teenage Dream (7 + 2 [Re-Release])
      Gaga was so huge in 2011 that ALL 4 songs released pre-album peaked on debut: BTW (#1), Judas (#10; only 3 days of tracking), EOG (#3; only digital sales), Hair (#12; only digital sales). They were so sloppy that it killed all momentum.
      BTW > MTN > EOG pre-album + Y&I > Hair > FOHL > The Queen (the last 2 with a re-release) could've gotten her ~2 #1 hits and ~5-7 Top 10s. Government Hooker and/or Scheisse could've been released as Euro-only singles..

    My favorites of Born this way:
    Judas: it's a amazing dark song and it is simply the best.
    Bloody Mary: I miss Gaga's scary songs, it's simply a master-piece
    Scheiße: the instrumental is so weird that you can't ignore it, it's wonderful
    Eletric Chapel: the Rock n' Roll vibes of this song is wonderful
    Americano: this is SO underrated, mixing Spanish and English just made this song better
    Government Hooker: this song is so funny, it's really nice to see the way that she can make a really childish voice than turning it into a evil demon saying "UNLESS YOU WANNA BE MAN"
    Bad kids: I really see myself in that songs, talking about how parents out expectations over their children and than being mad when their expectations don't happen because you can't decide how someone is

      I think this era was Gaga’s continued domination over pop culture like The Fame and The Fame Monster everyone remembers but BTW some ppl had tuned out because she was just everywhere. I also blame this era for why ppl wanted Artpop to fail like she’d grown too powerful for some and her advocacy for the gays had turned off middle america. It was a tragedy.
