Sheep Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) People are saying that Gaga isn't doing the rehearsed crazy interviews this time but I think this is her most calculated movie campaign yet. Between repeating the anecdote of Joaquin forcing her not to sing right but saying she still did for some takes anyway to give Todd more to work with, the comments about Joaquin rewriting the script, the way she looks more uncomfortable around Joaquin than the interviewers she's snapped at in the past, getting members of her music family on-set to surround her(in a potentially hostile environment), and putting out a FULL album from the perspective of her Harley she's very clearly trying to air her grievances with Joaquin and making it known that the whole mess is his fault and not Toad's.

But that would be around 2.7 million WW units if I just add 400k to last week's total (though that seems low tbh). edit: especially since Billboard had the song at 4.6 million WW units last week using the RIAA formula.

I think the Chromatica era really drew a lot of fans away. Too many broken promises, lack of enthusiasm on her part, all the brand deals, etc. I think her core fanbase has weakened in power and the shadow of LG6 will forever linger. I don't doubt LG7 will have a good first week, but I think we'll be LIMPING to 200K. 11 minutes ago, bitchfit said: things are lined up for her, even if JFAD bombed She's the type of artist that can get away with long waits between albums, but this time, she does't have an ASIB or an Oscar moment to generate the hype to maximize the potential of an era. Again, she will sell well first week. She just needs that special moment that truly brings the hype for her next project and push first-week sales. JFAD bombed so what are we really left with? That combination of DWAS, a few media appearances, Harlequin, and her newfound virality is not enough in my opinion. She had the world's eyes on her with ASIB's success and her Oscar moment. She hasn't captured that attention, not even close. Combine this with a weakened core fanbase due to her own apathy for her pop career and well...I have to temper expectations. For me personally, it seems the hype for LG7 isn't what it was for LG6. The current hype she's generated is not enough for 200K or 200K+. 3

I actually feel LG7 hype is bigger than Chromatica, honestly, especially seeing how that album turned out. If she's passionate about the album and has a lot of promo/fun stuff lined up, the rest will follow. Like when she said she'd fight to make fans love Joanne in Five Foot Fad - that's the energy we need again. 4

So thanks for contributing to the box office numbers. Every little bit helps JFADCinemaScore. 3
EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Also re: the "she should take a break since Joker flopped" discourse, it literally makes no sense to me? 1. Between the main faces of the film, Fraudd and Whacking are clearly the ones most affected and literally no one is putting the floppage on Gaga? 2. She literally just had a 3 year wait between Gucci and Joker, which had the same between it and ASIB. If she were to do a third, it'd just make expectations for her next film sky high. The narrative would be that it has to be a smash hit to see if she can truly come back from Joker. It'd be better just to move on quickly with another film, even if it's just a moderate success. I really think that filming something after the alleged tour next year would be smart. And maybe do another (bigger) project in 2026. 3 2

Why not stick it out if you've already handed over your money? 2
Ricardo1993 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Saw the movie last night and its definitely not as awful as the GP (mainly incels) are hyping it up to be. My friend and I thought it was somewhat decent. Gaga nails it as Lee. The first scene we are introduced to her character is easily my favorite moment of hers throughout the film. 2

Why not stick it out if you've already handed over your money? It's like when fans destroy their cds/vinyl when an artist does something they don't like. You've already lined their pockets. The joker is you indeed. 3

It would fit her "juggle multiple projects" statement super well. I don't know, I feel her next film project is being finalized right now and we'll hear something sooner than we think.
FameIsForever Posted October 6 Posted October 6 The silence between JFAD and LG7 lead is so awkward. In a few weeks she's gonna come out & act like all this never happened 3

Aston Martin Posted October 6 Posted October 6 I think that however much hype she does or doesn't have going into LG7 won't matter as much if the material is correct (ie they pick a strong lead). People who have no hype behind them can blow up with the right material, people with hype behind them can blow it if the material sucks. As long as the music is great (and what we've heard of LG7 does) she'll be fine. Just pick a strong lead! 11
Anthinos Posted October 6 Posted October 6 I think it's best if she just carries on now and releases the first single soon and focuses on that. Personally, I'm very hyped for the album, as the snippets we've heard so far have all sounded good and interesting, especially NB. I like Chromatica, Joanne wasn't my cup of tea but the last time I was really hyped was with Artpop. I just hope this era will be interesting, experimental and enthusiastic. 3 1
Jack! Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) I don't think the Harlequin live show is getting anything more than a quiet release, maybe on her YouTube or as a Max special as a push. She might still be in contract with them following on from GCB, so to me that makes the most sense. It's only really going to be of interest to die hards and people who really enjoy that record. They might think putting it to network would be good promo for it and Die With a Smile since we know she performed it, but it's a long-shot since she's launching a pop era in less than two weeks. Although she did say many times during her press junket she wants to be doing "multiple era's at once". She'd be beating a dead horse though. Edited October 6 by Jack!

That is all it needs.
oinkamaraj Posted October 6 Posted October 6 tbh how much hype she has rn or not doesnt matter much as long as the material is good and it hits with audiences, like all she really need is a strong lead and build up for the album. Like imagine if chromaticas lead single became a hit + smash 2nd single the album would've pulled even bigger numbers than it did (which were already decently big at the time, especially on spotify)
