Hejira Pronounshe/him The Fame Popster 305 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think MANiCURE could’ve been a decent hit. It’s a song that sounds like it was featured in a movie or in a commercial. Adele herself said that MANiCURE was one of her favorite tracks. With an edit or a remix, MANiCURE could’ve performed well on the radio. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG PronounsHe/Him Moderator 6,288 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think MANiCURE would’ve been a great single choice. It’s a very catchy song and perfect for radio. I still believe it would’ve been the perfect cont. to Telephone but that’s a whole other conversation. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown Away ARTPOPster 1,514 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Not really imo. I think the main issue was Gaga's image at the time. No song on the album could've changed that. Look at G.U.Y. for example, which was a great single but people weren't interested in Gaga anymore back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle For Your Life Pronounshe/him RIP Angel 1,992 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) DWUW is the perfect 2nd single. It just featured the wrong artist. If only it was with Bruno, it would've been a bigger hit. Edited December 14, 2020 by Daylight Oreos 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsGenuineGuy09 A Popster Is Born 13,475 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 no not at all - appluae and dwuw were the onyl single worthy songs on that album, the rest didnt make noise. dwuw was bigger in europe than applause - r kelly wasnt as bad back then, but it needed a MV and she also could've done even more promo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilMunster2008 New Popster 2 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 i feel like it wouldve been a way better single than do what you want. as the vibe of the song is almost like a self impowerment anthem. which was what was popular at the time. as well as edm. but madonna wouldve probably said she was copying give me all your luvin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Pronounshe/him Kindness Admin 8,383 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I love Manicure, but DWUW is a better song and single. It's a pity the song is forever cursed because it SLAPS so hard. I really think if it was a feature with ANYONE else and that video had come out, it would've been a massive smash in her career. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly. I think the song topic, title and lyrics along with R Kelly is was an incredibly stupid choice. I’d say she didn’t get as much hate as she could have. People could’ve easily seen it as her and R Kelly discrediting his victims. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradox ARTPOPster 1,158 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 MANiCURE would've flopped haaaard. DWUW feat lit anyone else + a great video would've done better. Still have no idea why out of the many popular male artists of the time, she chose R Kelly... especially for THAT song. Still find it so suspect that she and her team didn't put 2 + 2 together to realise how truly awful having him on that song was... I don't want to say it was done for ~shock value~ but... it was shocking lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bijon Pronounshe/him The Popster 13 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 manicure def could appeal to the general public, it was catchy and one of the less intense tracks. dwuw is a good song but the promo, collaborator, and mv killed it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast PronounsShe/her/hers Popstanne 5,076 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 MANiCURE is used on Jazzercise sets, and it's a great work-out song, so yes, I think it would've made a terrific single, though I'm not sure that it would've impacted ARTPOP's overall performance.
