Cruel Summer Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I guess I was unaware that they had? 1. The women you named as being streamed more than her aren’t all actually being streamed more, as another post in the thread pointed out; literally all of them have released more recently than Gaga. 2. You mention touring, but fail to note that the Chromatica Ball tour was a sold out stadium tour that grossed $112 million in just 20 shows. 3. Chromatica did perfectly fine on the charts - it wasn’t as big as Future Nostalgia, sure, but that’s because like 99% of 20s albums also weren’t as big as it? It has good streams, it had a hit, it had two great videos out of three - it was fine as an era, and great for one that was hampered by the pandemic screwing things up majorly. I’m honestly not even sure what you’re talking about at this point. If Gaga dropped a record today it would go #1 on the Billboard 200 and various other charts worldwide, she’d probably get at least one hit single, and then she could tour enough to make more money than you and I will ever see in our lives several times over and be home in time for the Joker promo cycle. The gays who like Gaga are happy to show up whenever she’s ready. 9 5
Lady Claire Posted January 12 Posted January 12 This thread is beyond stupid and i don't really know if y'all are slow or bored. Or just straight up dumb. Chromatica went #1, had her highest score on Metacritic, a Grammy win, a #1 hit, a top 5 single and a stadium tour. In what world is this considered a flop? Lmfao Also she's currently on a break, so what exactly do you want us to support if she's not releasing anything? Even so, her daily streams + monthly listeners are higher than some girls who released after her so i fail to understand what do you mean. Do better at trolling! 4 2
Rotunda Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I don’t think the gays have abandoned Gaga, or vice versa. She’s doing the elusive movie star thing right now, so there’s nothing for folks to latch onto rn. And not every legend is going to be pulling Rihanna catalog streams. She’s fine. 2
Dante Silva Posted January 12 Posted January 12 It’s half and half. Baby gays were never going to be terribly interested in jazz standards and once Gaga received affirmation from the industry that she had talent as an actress she spent her time exploring that path instead. Into that void, enough gays grew to find the parts of Madonna online that Gaga ‘borrowed’, after her initial eras were over and made the connection between what Gaga sold them as kids and the Madonna content they only discovered later on with time codes attached that pre-dated their childhood memories of Gaga. 1
Gladiator Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Gaga herself abandoned GaGa, when she officially started going as Gaga instead. 2
retrophysical22 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The vast majority of gays that “abandoned” her were bandwagon & fair-weather fans to begin with and she is better off without them. 1
Archetype Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) She lowkey abandons us every few years so what is there to be surprised about? The difference is that we love her as a person outside of her work and we’re always there to support her Edited January 12 by Archetype
Mikeymoonshine Posted January 12 Posted January 12 You understand that gays are not responsible for the majority streams and sales right? A lot of the GP started abandoning Gaga after born this way and she's had some recovery since then but still declined on the whole (apart from the asib repeak). All a big fanbase can do is make you go number 1 release week Gaga's fandom is still capable of that, her last album hit number 1. I think Gaga could get a lot of the public back with more accessible music but she has a habit of bad single choices and releasing stuff with niche appeal. 4
ImpressMeMuch Posted January 12 Posted January 12 You can’t ask about the gays and then complain about a lack of mainstream success lmao 2

dawnettakins Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) The gays are fickle and lame, why would you want them anyway? She was smart and went for a broader audience a la GP, and is more revered and now a legend and acclaimed actress because of it. Edited January 12 by dawnettakins
Tovitov Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) They haven't. Not sure what fan fiction you've been reading. Edited January 13 by Tovitov 1
liquiddiamonds Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Her main fanbase is clearly older now, so they are more lowkey about stanning. But once the music is out and the tour is announced they are always there for her and Chromatica was quite successful for an album that only appealed to us in the middle of a pandemic. If she plays her cards right after the Joker 2 exposure she can have an even bigger era after it 2
IBeMe Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Gaga is doing ok yall stop making it sound like she is in the trenches with Katy Perry 2
mael Posted January 13 Posted January 13 The last time she made a decent album was ARTPOP, after that she lost me.

OT : she exchanged the gays for soccer moms, old hollywood farts and senile nursing home occupants ofc gaga and beyonce are peers in the industry "peer" doesn't mean "debuted at the same time as" 1
MadMax12 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Because she allowed her last leaked lead single to be played in clubs for a month before she released it, and by that time they moved on 1
