Early concept demo of "Applause" leaks online

The world let out a collective YAWN today, as Lady Gaga paraded around NYC in yet another one of her "unique looks". I'll admit that this one is certainly better than the rest of the looks she's been trying to pull off lately, but like most of what she's been doing this era, there seems to be something missing.

But what? Maybe in this case the answer is "a bra".

In other news, an early concept demo of "Applause" has leaked online. It's... interesting?

From one source: "Is this demo better than the finished product included on ‘Artpop’? Hell no. Gaga sounds wasted in this demo. However, there is a certain ‘uniqueness’ in this demo that is quite appealing. It’s raw, it’s ‘different’, and maybe… is this what ‘Artpop’ should have been about?. We all know ‘Artpop’ didn’t really work for Gaga, as it didn’t sell as expected. And when she said she was going to do ‘artpop’ for her next record, the sound of this demo was the first thing that popped into my head: weird music (or art)."

I think the whole world expected a little more from Gaga for ARTPOP, but what do you all think about the leak? Is this the sort of sound she should have gone with? Should Gaga have kept the more 'unique' sound for "Applause", or did she make a good decision when she changed it for the album?
