Lady Gaga's ARTPOP is certainly a slow burner in terms of likeability. It's taken me over a month to appreciate some of its quirkier charms, but it's still no masterpiece and it's still more than half shit. However, Lady Gaga is herself a likeable entity and a damn good popstar. Do What U Want was released late last year with R. Kelly laying down some smooth vocals, making the song one of the best of 2013 as well as one of the best Gaga songs of all time. A couple of months move by and she's gone and re-released the song but this time she's roped in supposed one time "copycat" Bionic star Christina Aguilera for an exciting rendition. The lyrics in the second verse are different and of course Christina belts out some raspy high notes, but honestly the whole song loses some of its sass & sexiness without R. Kelly and Gaga's chemistry. It's still very enjoyable though, particularly the "what you want Lady Gaga" bit.
3.8/5
