It’s been a long week for Lady Gaga. Amidst much gossip about the strange naked yoga video in a forest the artist posted, now not one but two songs have been prematurely leaked from her upcoming album ARTPOP.
First was "Aura"/"Burqa". Its cryptic lyrics, found on Rock.rapgenius.com seem to refer to an Islamic woman behind her veil. The Charlotte Observer described the singer's voice as "Nancy Sinatra" in the clip.
Then a second song, "Applause" leaked. And Gaga was not happy. She shared her frustrations on Twitter.
YOU JUST COULDNT WAIT THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ONE SATURDAY

Misery loves company. Gaga tweeted Katy Perry, who’s song "ROAR" from her upcoming album, Prism was also leaked.
Wanna grab some shovels and fuck up some hackers? @katyperry excited to hear your ROAR, sorry to hear about your truck!

And after Mother Monster showed her teeth, fans didn’t know how to handle their tireless leader being angry at them, so they seemingly wreaked havoc on Katy Perry’s fans. Gaga had to bring back the peace and tweeted what she really wants is respect for artists, their talent and their fans.

The official release date for Gaga’s song “Applause” is August 19 and hopefully no more songs will make an early debut before then for Gaga and her little monsters sake.
