Doctor Dick Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Kimi said: no one wants jazz music from her. NO ONE. we are neither buying nor streaming. idk why haters try to make it into something bigger. a fanbase is giving a clear veto on that career path, when the music is pop, like die with a smile, people tune in. If the haters went to a restaurant after weeks of no food to eat a steak but got a candy bar instead they'd be mad as well and would probably be hesitant to go back until the steak got served.

Popular Post Stunnah Posted October 1 Popular Post Posted October 1 I can already envision the contortions of logic liddos are going to use to justify this. "actually it was a jazz audio book album because in several songs she sings kind of slowly and it sounds like reading and is therefore the highest peaking album of its kind" "the tony stans are SABOTAGING her because their DUSTY fave is PUSHING DAISIES in some cheap plot in the bronx" "she ate bad gabagool at the trattoria joanne" 16
hallucinate Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) this was a passion project she released this for HERSELF, not the fans hence the low streams and sales Edited October 1 by hallucinate
Kimi Posted October 1 Posted October 1 6 minutes ago, UseYourIllusion2002 said: Monster's keep saying "covers!!! 2 day announcement, not LG7!!!" -Taylor has literally surprise released Folklore and that album almost hit one million first week sales -The Gift doesn't even have Beyoncé on the majority of the tracks, and the somgs that she's on are literally filled with other artists, and still peaked at #2 -Madonna's I'm Breathless (which is literally a jazz album AND named after the films character, just like Gaga with Harlequin) spent 13 weeks in the top 10 alone of the Billboard 200. Plus this album was sandwiched between the massive smashes that were Like a Prayer and The Immaculate Collection and still did well. This is a SOLO Lady Gaga album and still bombed. She herself even called it "LG 6.5" - meaning it is (or was now) an important part of her discography. She didn't call any of the Tony collab albums this. this is like top 10 dumbest comments made this year. tony albums are not LG cause they are not solo, LG means Lady Gaga, and the fact that its not lg7 but some random 6.5 indicates that its not equal to others, even in her head. and yes, jazz covers do make a difference. its a best selling jazz album this week, that genre is dead. 4 10
Popular Post Galah Posted October 1 Popular Post Posted October 1 I mean, it's a terrible result for Gaga. But the fact that DWAS is smashing alongside this project's flop really highlights the magnitude of said flop. That song really is 100% entirely only successful due to Bruno, and good playlisting. This is irrefutable evidence of this. It's not like that song's sound is any trendier or more modern than anything on Harlequin. Just bizarre. I was assured Gaga was Taylor Swift, Beyoncé tier? Could I have been misled? 1 5 23

Also that's not true, I think A Star Is Born was mainly a smash because of Gaga not Bradley, for example. I never said it wasn't a bomb. So was The Gift. Stans don't support side-projects as much as regular albums and they certainly don't support albums with covers either. I just think it's funny to see the Beyhive latching onto this narrative of Gaga's status being responsible for this when it clearly has nothing to do with that 1

UseYourIllusion2002 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 7 minutes ago, Bey_Rihstan said: Eh you can call this flop a flop without all the extra to jazz it up. The gift is really the only comparable example here (soundtrack adjacent side projects). Gaga should've done more based on her name alone. you know this isn't a real Gaga album or The follow up to chromatica tho Wdym The Gift is the only comparable one? I'm Breathless and Harlequin are one in the same. Both are "side albums", aren't the official follow ups to Chromatica/Like a Prayer, not the official soundtracks of the film, are mainly jazz, and are literally named after the characters Madonna and Gaga play. Literally the same 2
Mrnoniee Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) Excellent for her standards. I would say AMAZING for a Washed-Up Early 2010s Pop Landscape Relic Hasbeen. Her fans should be PROUD for her doing such numbers in such an ageist and misogynistic industry Edited October 1 by Mrnoniee 1
Lady Claire Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) Bad numbers unfortunately. I was expecting 40-50k but it didn't had months of pre-orders so i kinda "understand" those numbers but still... thankfully it's just a side project but Bobby/Interscope has a lot of work to do with LG7 when it comes to multiple versions, promo and pre-orders. I love the album so whatever though Edited October 1 by Lady Claire 4

I am NOT a Beyhive , but there is a difference from #2 and #17 or wherever this bomb is going to chart 2.) True, not everyone could have their I'm Breathless

Could I have been misled? The problem is that Gaga fans just want her to do dance/pop. They are kind of weird considering they hate when she makes rock, they hate when she made country and I know if ASIB flopped they would hated that singer songwriter vibe. They seem to be by her side just waiting for her to comeback at TF to BTW eras but the reality it's that she loves to experiment with genres and be more than just a bop maker. I think she deserves better fans tbh because her jazz projects aren't even bad at all but by these numbers you can tell that they are only waiting thirsty on their plates to have her singing about riding a disco stick and speaking German sounding gibberish. It's like their humid wildest and biggest dream. instead of waiting they should stan someone else like Ava Max or whatever. An artist that it's as ambitious as Gaga doesn't deserve that kind of fans. There's a reason Taylor can pull numbers with any genre, Madonna and Beyoncé also has shown that they can also sell and debut decently with side projects/albums with genre shifts that could alienate their bases.

Could I have been misled? DWAS is nothing like the show tunes on Harlequin, both in composition and in chord-progressions which is why DWAS is considered safe for radio while the songs on Harlequin aren't. Also, you're basically implying the LG7 lead will be a certified bomb as well

Do you want me to post all 12 versions of chromatica vinyl? Evermore debuted with 350k with no physical and then repeaked at #1 when the vinyl were shipped. Same with fearless TV. Can we expect Harlequin to repeak at #1 when they "reship" the vinyl that were already shipped and delivered? 4

I'm literally 20 years old, I'm not "suffering" because some weirdo online disagrees with my point 3.) Look at the reactions to my original comment, people are clearly agreeing with my points, so no need to "turn my suffering into better points"
