AlbumOfTheYear Posted November 7 Posted November 7 23 minutes ago, Disconnect said: The reason why Disease (only the song) was such a disappointment for me was because it just sound like a bunch of her old stuff mixed-up together. IDK why y'all don't want her to move on tbh. We already got her Pop Classics, she needs to do something different now. Disease sounds nothing like what she's released, please. That you and certain people conflate black outfits and flannel with Born This Way and ARTPOP is something unrelated. Iit sounds like Gaga because it has her signature and that's it. The rest is just an issue of taste. Honestly, she doesn't "need" to do anything for braindead pop fans rather than her own artistry. 4 1

Gurl bye, Disease sounds NOTHING like what was on ARTPOP, Chromatica, BTW or TFM AT ALL? Do you have ears lmao? That said, those albums were amazing. She's given us some of the most iconic and legendary Pop songs of all time, nonetheless, that "signature" you're speaking about is what the GP doesn't want anymore and that's the article's point. We've already seen it multiple times and it's iconic but it gets tired at some point and it's been literally years since she debuted. Only hardcore fans like you, who think her "signature" style is the best way to go crave that, the rest of us want something different. All great artists evolve. Beyoncé didn't smash in 2022 doing the same R&B she did in the early 2000s. Whatever tbh, keep defending her and she'll keep flopping as long as you don't demand anything different from her and are always begging her to go back to her "cool and edgy dark style".

chaklux Posted November 7 Posted November 7 In the streaming era , anybody can make a good come back. With a decent song , goes viral on TikTok and Bam! It's a hit. But to be sincere, the days of her solo megastar power are kinda over. Disease is just a reflection of how strong she is solo with no movie or any other buzz attached . Ariana was coming off a very bad press , and we can't be friends wasn't the typical catchy pop song , but with her star power, she was still able to make it a hit and the album successful. 3 1

Doctor Dick Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) Gaga's brand is doing well. The only problem is that her recent solo songs don't click with the GP, that's all. If she releases a good and catchy song according to the GP then it will smash. The Disease thread had equally as many members browsing as the election thread. When talking about celeb endorsement on the news they mentioned Taylor, Elon, Bey and Gaga and mostly ignored or mentioned the others far less. She's still a major A-list star regardless what OGHs spray. And because Disease was what her fans wanted the next single will still be anticipated and could go Top 20 or Top 10 on day one as well. If Disease had the video and physicals released on the day it premiered like other acts do she would've debuted Top 10 or very close to on the Hot 100. Continue yapping but we all know you'll all be there for the premiere of her next song any way. Edited November 7 by Doctor Dick 4 4
imabadkid Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) Girl, it's 2024... why are people still obsessing over a pop girl and her ability (or inability) to make a huge hit. It just feels so dated and antiquated of a conversation tbh. These conversations have been happening since 2010, 2011... people need to grow up and touch grass and I'm genuinely not even saying this because I like Gaga. It's just so tired and boring atp. We're living in a world today (well at least here in America) where women don't even have their full rights, discussing this in 2024 feels redundant when there's far more important things happening. Gaga is successful, rich, beautiful, she's had #1 hit songs around the world, #1 movies, etc. At this point let her make music and do what she enjoys without people hyper fixating on H0w bIg 0f A hIt WiLl thIz S0oNg BeE? like grow up.

rickycabello123 Posted November 7 Posted November 7 who cares solo no solo, die with a smile is the biggest song in the world

I'm not a hardcore fan, but go off 2. Way to misinterpret what I said. Gaga's "signature" is not tied to a sound, but her vocal delivery and her flair. Not a genre. And 3. You have all these other artists to pick from if Gaga is sooo stagnant and sooo samey. Like, you can go home if you're not having fun? 1

Like, you can go home if you're not having fun? I think Gaga's signature is very much tied to a sound. Otherwise, when she makes pop music again as she is now or did with Chromatica, there would be no fanfare or reason for people to remark that "Gaga is back". Her signature sound is dance-pop, and deeper than that it's dance pop with an edge, a dark and/or mysterious quality that may even be a bit sombre offset by a pristine and euphoric chorus (Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Alejandro, Born this Way, Judas, Bloody Mary, Applause, Venus, G.U.Y. etc.), not to mention her penchant for repeating syllables ("pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-poker face", "ra ra, ro ma, ma" that also manifests itself in her non-dance pop songs like Shallow). This is why Sweet but Pyscho was largely described as being influenced by Gaga despite having no markings of her vocal delivery. Instead, it was a dance pop song with the repeated syllables (I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"), the dark mysterious qualities and the incredible catchiness of her signature songs.

You're not wrong! Sadly I think the takeaway is that the venn diagram of being a fan of pop music and wanting to have interesting conversations about it is very f*cking small. This particularly forced hate train towards Gaga of all artists is just so boring and exhausting, but at the same time has show me that ATRL isn't a place that is based in reality or substance lol. At the end of the day, these losers have done me a favour and made me realize I'm too old to waste my time here. After the election this week, Gaga's most dedicated haters on here seem so unimportant now. It is very telling that they're still at their hate parade for her despite society crumbling as I type this. We should all take that observation seriously and maybe find better ways to engage with our interests. 2
