The team that landed her the deal to make a song for the year's biggest blockbuster that will most likely end up in another Oscar nomination is horrible because they didn't pointlessly push the song to Spotify and Apple Music?  The logic. 

 

I don't get why this is so hard to understand, but maybe, just maybe, they never saw any point in pushing this song like an actual big single. They did the bare minimum because that's all it needed. This was not a lead single. This was not a huge hit-sounding song. It's literally a soundtrack song for a movie, and soundtrack songs rarely get any kind of promotion because the point is for the movie to do the promotion. What is it with fans wanting her and her team to waste money on things that are pointless? These meltdowns would make complete sense if we were talking about an album's lead single or any of its subsequent singles, but we're talking about a one-off soundtrack single. Do you really think a song like HMH had any chance of being a hit with payola? Really? Not even being in the year's biggest blockbuster was able to push it past top 50 on Billboard, but if the point is to make it into the Oscars, Billboard does not matter.

 

Stop needing validating from charting. Gaga is pushing 40 years old. That doesn't matter anymore and they're not going to focus on that anymore. Just accept it.

We all know Bobby is amazing when it comes to keeping her booked and busy at the best shows, with the best movie directors, getting stadiums, etc, and this matters a lot.  We love her team for that.  However, they are *horrible* when it comes to promoting music on streaming. 

 

If they didn't care that much about the song, why pay for a pilot to fly Hold My Hand smoke trails through the sky?  Why do radio payola?  Why film what looks like a semi-expensive music video?  Why wait an entire month to add it to TTH and increase playlist reach?  If they didn't want to waste money on streaming promo, then why did they eventually do just that (but a month later)?  Why spend so much money on this song? 

 

It's not that they don't care or don't want to spend money, it's that they, once again, fail to understand how streaming works.  It's not a meltdown, it's calling out what they consistently fail to do.  I never even cared if this managed to chart at all tbh, it is, like you said, a soundtrack single, but if you are going to put effort into promoting a song (like they eventually did) then do it RIGHT.  This is why her team sucks.

I'm actually surprised by the fact that there are no candids of her in London.

 

Where are the paparazzi when you need them?

Boys Boys Boys was …. Interesting in DA 

Brown Eyes is a TOTAL SERVE in DA holy **** 

Her web site collapsed...maybe merch is coming?

Its doesnt look like her

Hold My Hand never would have smashed on streaming so them not focusing on Spotify makes sense even if it hurt the song before it was even released 

Miss Cynthia needs to go back to brunette.

 

look how good it looked here. (granted, this is 50 years ago but still):

That sounds like at least 7 missed opportunities imo 

 

Honestly she should have kept it for an eventual album visuals.

 

 

so I've two observations about Gaga:

 

1) 'i could be your girl girl girl...' from HML is one of the best hooks she's made

2) 1000 Doves Piano is the most personal, vulnerable song Gaga has ever made about herself.

 

the fact that in 2011 we got insanely confident Gaga and basically putting on a costume, to "I've cried more than I ever say."

Overall I can agree with your argument and especially about the chart thing, it's not a big deal at this point of her career and very likely the song was never going to smash either way. However it has to be said that they didn't release a song in the way of 'Be Alive' for example, just the audio and call it a day, they still made a really great video (not cheap) and lately put the song on TTH, the thing I don't get is why they haven't done all of this all at once when the movie came out (or one week before release when the hype was bigger) instead of releasing just the song without a video on a random Tuesday one month before the movie, releasing the video later, putting the song on TTH after like 1,5 month from release, these things to me don't make sense, because I can understand not pushing a song in the way you said but at the end they still did something just in a confusionary way, oh well.

The Hershey date continues to sell very well and will for sure be sold out as well. The only looming flop is Houston, and that's on her for scheduling two dates in a state that hates home essentials.
