MadMax12 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 ARTPOP is Gaga’s third album and most legends go strong until their fifth or sixth. Her first two were massive, then it just crashed because of the handling of the era. The album itself is classic Gaga, and there were a few songs that could have been massive hits if they were singles like Venus and Gypsy. From picking the wrong lead single and abandoning the era after the album dropped with no more visuals except a random side project G.U.Y the year after, did this become a stain on her legacy? She was still so young and should have been dominating, and you could see the underperformance of the lead single and album affected her while Katy was having all the popularity, success and high budget videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarysunflower Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Wouldn't it be an integral "part" to her legacy though? It's not a stain per say.... It's her major falling from grace. Her bottom rock. A test to prove she wasn't just another EDM fad. It opened an opportunity reinvent herself and try multiple avenues via film, cosmetics and philanthropy to expand her celebrity figurehead. Having success since then through AHS, Tony Bennet collaborations, Joanne image reinvention, Superbowl performances, ASIB, Chromatica singles, Haus Labs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaunzie Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hun, learn to accept it happened and move onward. Hell.I occasionally go back to able for fun. It is only as bad as you want it to be, and as far as I am consider ARTPOP is most definitely not a stain on Gaga's career, only DWYW ft R Kelly.

PrudenceHCharmed Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yes. The way it spent like 16 weeks on the UK charts and 30+ weeks in the US and never re enter despite the 'repeak'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EriKills Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It’s such a fun album and SO much better than Joanne and Chromatica….. + it’s floppage is ICONIC, Chromatica will be forgotten (I mean Gaga lichrally swiftly abandoned it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroom Vroom Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The music is as wild as Born This Way. The only stain was her working with R. Kelly, but she has deleted that song and it is forgotten by the GP. The Koons statue on the album cover will be in an art museum one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 No it's literally her best album. Even as a commercial underperformance, the era itself was a pop culture juggernaut. Some of the best times on ATRL were from those days! I think its for the best that ARTPOP was received the way it was. It now has this slightly meme-ish cult/underground following. It's an album that somehow lives in between total mainstream obscurity and yet pop music dominance. A reverse Warholian expedition indeed. It'll be remembered as a cult classic; something camp, hilariously over the top, messy, and full of genuinely great pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negev Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It's a great pop album. Peak "Gaga" with the wack lyrics, messy rollout, unreleased scrapped material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon Schiele Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think it was her last good album (not counting the jazz ones) Everything else she has done since artflop feels soulless, derivative and dull. Chromatica was the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
