we really did dodge a bullet with this c-list stunt casting we'd probably have gotten jennette mccurdy as glinda :deadbanana4:

The superior Sam and Cat protagonist? I would've seen the movie then

I agree, thankfully the same happened with Beyoncé's role in A Star Is Born. 

I agree...I am thankful Beyonce was not in that film

God is good. There would've been no Oscar noms and less than half the BO if she was in it.

Lady Gaga was objectively praised for her role in JFAD.

Y'all still trying it with the praised in a panned film argument. :rip:

I mean, objectively speaking, the acting in the film was not the primary point of criticism :rip: Why do you guys keep trying to make it out that she killed the movie? 
 

Why do so many of y'all have a hard-on when it comes to bashing Lady Gaga? It's not like she's cozying up with sex predator music producers in 2024 or paying Proskauer Rose millions in Insertion Orders to distance themself from accusations of assault and battery like a ton of Hollywood A-listers do :rip:

 

There are worse people in the entertainment industry, and some of y'all stan them :rip:

The implication from the article title that Shawn would be Glinda is so funny even though that's obviously not what they were going for :ahh:

I mean maybe we can get that version on wicked.com! :suburban:

Nope! Reviews that panned the movie praised her, that is reality. :sorry:
 

No amount of hoops you jump through will change that.

ATRL users have Stan war brain rot and think that since the underperformance of music is on the shoulders of the artist, that must mean that underperformance of a movie = on the shoulders of the actors. 
 

JFAD's acting was praised, the plot/pacing/writing is what was panned and unfortunately for users like @vuelve88, neither Lady Gaga or Joaquin Phoenix had anything to do with those things.

Gaga's a fine singer but she would have sounded strained on the climax of Defying Gravity.

Highly unlikely (read impossible) that it would do any worse than the last *actual* lead role Beyonce had ($68 million box office) :celestial:

 

Especially when you consider this was in development at the same time as ASIB. :celestial:

Facts are facts, Beyoncé's last movie where she actually played the lead only grossed ~70m total. :sorry: 

 

I fear 20 minute voice cameos carried by Disney do not count.

No Gaga fans allowed acting like the thought of her playing the green witch instead of Harley hasn't been on their mind the past month
