Divas of the Fall: Part II

Lady GaGa and Katy Perry continued to amp up anticipation for their upcoming singles and albums with music leaks and teaser videos.  Earlier this week, I posted about both ladies prepping their first singles in the coming weeks.  They certainly aren't slowing down.

GaGa released the above picture as a tease for "Applause."  What really had Little Monsters foaming at the mouth was the leak of a demo for a song called "Aura" or "Burqa."  The track received mixed reviews and I have to say, I am more than a little "meh" upon the first couple of listens.  The verses sort of sound like "Government Hooker" from "Born This Way."  Also, the verses are pretty garbled, which could have a lot to do with it being an unfinished demo.  Once the chorus hits, it's a big EDM party and it's pretty catchy.  It's hard to really judge this, since it isn't complete.  I also remember that when the demo for "Bad Romance" leaked everyone was hating on it.  So, who's to say what will happen?  Have a listen and decide for yourself.



Katy Perry continued to drop inventive, sly teaser videos for her new single "Roar."  In the first we are treated to a funeral.  There are two girls in the front row wearing lavender wigs.  The camera pans the mourners and Katy herself looks up and gives us a smile.

The second is probably the best of the three that have been released, featuring a carnivorous white cat.  At the end of the second video, you'll get a taste of the hook and we may have an earworm on our hands.

Check out the videos below and let me know which is your favorite and tell me what you think of "Aura/Burqa."
