Lady Gaga has never been a "proper popstar", though. She has never had a glam team of dozens dedicated to making her look perfect, she has never had a social media team, she has never had a PR team ready to swat down any negative article. From the get-go, and even during her peak in 2011, she has always been "home grown", old-fashioned, or "hodge podge", and most of what she does or has done was/has been thought up and crafted in hotel rooms alongside her closest artistic team. It has been 15 years and it is strange if longterm Gaga fans have not noticed this?

 

This just feels very hyperbolic to me, and these meltdowns always happen after another popstar does something because Gaga fans are incredibly insecure about a woman who has sold over 200m records, has an Oscar, and is one of the highest-grossing and selling musicians of all time. And that is what it all comes down to, no? Comparing her to others, wanting her to be and do what others are and do? Do you think it is a bit ironic coming from fans of a popstar whose entire identity has been based on being different from the others?

 

Gaga is not and has not been on a hiatus. Since Chromatica, she has done a bevy of things. It is just that Gaga fans are not happy with anything, ever. She can never do anything that makes them happy because they want someone who is #1 on the charts so they can live vicariously through her. That is just not her fault. And I get that I sound like a delusional fan, but apart from the Chrome Tour Movie taking TOO long, she has genuinely not done anything bad to warrant these type of posts. 

 

Bobby and co. had a ton of stuff scheduled for Chromatica, but COVID stopped everything. They had an all-out assault planned and then they just could not do it. Gaga clearly moved on because of whatever her reasons were and it is not on Bobby to force her to do stuff. If Gaga woke up tomorrow and was like, "Bobby, I want to be everywhere," he would truly make it happen. People want to blame everyone for everything, but it is Gaga who does not want to do certain things. But that does not mean she is not interested or wants to retire? It may mean that she is not interested in going through the same traumatic bullshit she did ten years ago. And that is fair to me.

 

BTW, I mean this post with sincerity and I am not meaning to be shady. I love talking about this stuff with fellow Gaga fans so please do not think I am being disrespectful towards you.

 A "bevy" of crap her fans do not want, correct. Another jazz album (which bombed as - again - her fans did not want that), a never-coming tour DVD, Chromatica getting practically zero promotion, 20 dates for a tour, another jazz residency and an AC ballad for boomers which also bombed as her fans are not interested in that. Pretty much all she's done this decade is promote ROM and green light a remix project. Her film career is obviously her priority now, which is great except she films one movie every 2 years.

I smell an Onion Girl

The way Chromatica is doing 600k streams daily on Spotify  

I hope you know what's the reason for this. That evil cheap song called Stupid Love. 

If you are a true Lady Gaga fan and hate the damage that evil song did to Gaga's career ( destroyed Shallow 's hype, Gaga and Tony lost the Grammy cause if that song, Gaga lost the Oscar nom cause of that song, Chromatica flopped) , then enter this thread: 

Hating this song might heal us. But I don't know if we will ever get healed from this cheap scrounge that destroyed Chromatica era.

she had very intriguing song titles that era between Partynauseous ARTPOP, Swine & Onion Girl

Can y'all come up with something else other than trashing Stupid Love like it's a member of the Taliban?

when you think about the fact that Blackpink is disbanding, Ariana is having a semi retirement and Elton is done with his farewell tour all after this 

collabing with gaga is a career peak, so they have no choice but to pack it up 

Joker opening wk record safe

 

 

 

Rolling Stones sending an email saying Sweet Sound of Heaven vinyls are delayed.

 

They must be SWAMPED in orders. Shallow is quaking.

 

The Fame Monster is #42 on the weekly album charts on Spotify Austria 

 

The fact that this 14 year old masterpiece is actually out-streaming more recent hit albums like Afterhours, evermore, Speak Now (TV) or SOS is INSANE, but so well-deserved

oh now godga can be the one to smash it

I Like It Rough is one of her best songs, it suffers being at the end of the fame, an album that feels underappreciated by her own stans. Y'all should listen and talk about The Fame more.

Bloody Mary getting over a million would be great

It's definitely crossing that mark!  Unfortunately, Halloween boosts are not like the Christmas ones (starting weeks before and lasting a couple of days after the Holiday). Halloween songs rise a lot only two or three days before the actual day. However, Bloody's been rising a bit weekly since last week, which is a great sign!

 

The fact that they are also randomly releasing that glow in the dark vinyl makes me wonder if they have something else planned. Gags, please. Do something! A Gagaween live performance would be awesome to have.

Imagine a Gagaween performance at the Sphere in Vegas 

 A Godly Mary music video please
