Artur Posted April 17 Posted April 17 3 minutes ago, Aden said: I don't think Gaga is releasing a studio album before Joker anymore but here are my takes: Gaga wouldn't perform better than Taylor 100%. Her base is just not as big as her cult. Gaga would likely not perform better than Ariana. Gaga might not debut as high but could perform as well as Cowboy Carter if it's really looking front-loaded dddd. Gaga could fart onto 13 tracks and outdo Dua. No shade to her, Radical Optimism has only been an event to gay twitter. Gaga could fart onto 13 tracks, reveal that she indeed murdered Lina Morgana, endorse Trump, and still outdo Katy. Billie is a wildcard. Can't really tell. Overall, this base tends to underestimate Gaga. She may not be as trendy as the likes of Ariana or The Weeknd but she's still an established force and the JFAD trailer reception proved that. My expectations for a hit era are so low. I'm sure the music will be great, but I don't trust her team after the embarrassing rollout for Stupid Noise, and for picking it as the lead. 1
Lil Mxnster Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I don't expect LG7 to be finished before JFÀD premiere, so let's not even talk about releasing it this year 1

The roll out for Stupid Love was her best one yet, easily. It's just the song that didn't click.

The more I think about it, the more baffled I am by Stupid Love on all fronts. Ultimately, the onus is Gaga to put out her best and not offer up something like that in the first place. I love her, but our queen has got to stop putting out cheesy tunes like that. She can/will do decently with a bad lead single, but needs a hit lead single to do great. I get the sense that people (normies, not music snobs & stan twitter haters) want her to do well. She's talented, not overexposed, and people remember her music fondly. The Indie Sleaze nostalgia is eminent (and has lowkey already kicked off), she can benefit majorly from that if she wants to. I mean, she's literally the poster girl for it.

Like she's not even underperforming, she's doing good and definitely Chromatica did better than her previous two studio albums. Not that I disagree with the fact that Gaga won't outdo Taylor.

Why must we reverberate this OGH'd logic? She smashed with ASIB and then underperformed with Chromatica. Cheek to Cheek was also a good performance, especially considering the project and the state of her public persona. I'm not saying she flopped with Chromatica but it very obviously didn't reach the full potential of what Gaga could've achieved (and can still achieve) after her game-changing rebrand that culminated in ASIB.

It's not a OGH's logic, not at all. If anything, I think fans should move on and stop calling her latest studio efforts underperformances because she's been doing those numbers since 2013 and BTW wasn't exactly her best era longevity wise (back then at least) and she's doing just fine, if not better. ARTPOP, Joanne, C2C and Chromatica did very good, ASIB in between was a smash no one really expected but we got it and it's great, L4S was just a cute addition that didn't really flop but it wasn't on par with all of her most recent releases and it's the only album of hers that could be called out as a misstep in terms of commercial success (if we're counting jazz albums).

I mostly agree - her career is healthy and consistent (& she has potential to be 'bigger', which frustrates many in the base). However, I think that C2C only did great because post-ARTPOP, her hardcore fans really rallied behind her. With L4S we didn't have to do all that, she was in no danger of being Xtina-d. 2

I've always maintained that the public has been somewhat patient with her having bared Artpop, C2C, and Joanne. She also still has tremendous respect even after Chromatica didn't click too hard. The goodwill is there for Gaga to smash again. She just has to tap deep in her songwriting abilities that are still there and make great material again, and thankfully all signs point to her moving in that direction for LG7. 4

The fact that Gar fans consider Chrome an underperformance just goes to show how delusional this fanbase is (not you, just fans in general). Number one album with her biggest first week sales since BTW, Grammy winning, #1 single with a billion streams, sold-out tour, and her most acclaimed per Metacritic. By all measures, it performed the way her fans wanted it to, but fans can never just be happy. 1 hour ago, Artur said: My expectations for a hit era are so low.

Gar once said she lets the label choose the singles, right? Gaga fans want her to stop listening to the "yes men" but in this instance she is listening to the "no men". IDK why she has always been okay with the label choosing. Edited April 17 by Sannie 5 1

SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted April 17 Posted April 17 First Ozzy, now Watt. When will we hear from Gags? 2
Sannie Posted April 17 Posted April 17 2 minutes ago, DonnieDarko said: Couldn't agree more. And she did it all without the onslaught of promo fans demand. It feels like Gaga fans want her to perform commercially the way Taylor is, but not even acts like Beyonce can do that. It is an impossible goal. 1

So thinking a bit on this and... he's claiming he recently finished and album and that he's in the middle of a project right now. We know he recently has started following Madonna (or Madonna's manager, maybe both?) so this could the project he's in the middle of. Or it could still be Gaga, but in that case, do we know whether he was working with other artists these past few months? If it was just Gaga we could assume the album is finished, but we probably have no way to make sure of that. 1
Miracle Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Okay maybe he's finished with Gaga and that's why she isn't posting new studio pics 4
Miracle Posted April 17 Posted April 17 (edited) Gaga's last studio picture was like 25 days ago...I think she's probably finished, at least with Watt, not gonna lie. Edited April 17 by Miracle 2
