This has always been the problem with her image. I thought MAYHEM fixed it, but clearly her PR team still needs to do better. Gaga is always considered "great" but never "great enough", while others do the bare minimum or put out genuinely tragic music and performances and still get showered with love and awards. It's honestly maddening. MAYHEM's reviews show it too, for other artists they'll hand out 10/10s, but for her it's always an 8 or a 7.5 lol

Yep. But I truly believe history will be very kind to her. We definitely stan a LEGEND.

Now we wait for her fellow snubee collab and Requiem news.

Oh, definitely. That's why I hope she stops playing within pop/commercial rules and actually goes full risk mode. If MAYHEM wasn't enough, then why even bother? Let her be free and do something truly wild musically. I hope requiem and yesterday's abra are indicative of what's next

I want Cirkut & Gesaffelstein to tag team me. I need their holy production all in/over me

It's okay she can always pull a Billie and get AOTY for BTW and SOTY for Lovedrug next year

If the AbraGODabra's rock performance is an indicator for what Requiem and/or LG8 look like, then we are in for massive masterpieces ladies

The way BTW needs to win an AOTY so badly, can she release and submit BTW (Gaga's Version - Even More Compressed) for AOTY?

I just know that she needs to call Miss Welch and ask her to send some siren-esque vocals for a gothic industrial opera track for LG8

I completely agree. Onwards and upwards!

She already did it with Harlequin and we all know how it ended....

How Compressed Do U Want Me?

I don't have good references to draw upon because I'm not the biggest gamer at least not the type of games this Gaga performance reminded me of but I feel a certain crowd of gamers are gonna LOVE this performance of Abracadabra. They even mentioned it in the live telecast that her performance reminded them of a boss from Elden Ring. But I feel the music was giving like Persona 5, boss battle music. It was actually really cool and daring. She personally kind of reminded me of a monster from Silent Hill

Kinda obsessed with her performance

Vanish Into You is getting ROTY 2028 accompanied with Gaga's Best New Artist Award.

Can we all agree that this year was her peak in terms of performances? Like

Whew, when they start to scream enchant their holy vocals over the nastiest industrial beat it's gonna be over for these hoes

I loved it, it gave me that feeling I long for from a Gaga performance. It was weird, bold and felt like something only SHE could pull off. That said I still long for a big pop performance with full production. I watched a little of Tyler the Creators performance and that was incredible.

I love listening to the winner of this year Best Pop Vocal Album. No album that was rushed for the deadline allowed

and if I say MAYHEM is my favorite era of hers in terms of visuals/aesthetics/performances

it's also really interesting how the abracadabra video shaped what the rest of the year would look like

truly an iconic video, and I hope she's realized how much people have connected with that song and reheats those nachos for LG8

Harlequin was a cover compilation tied to a colossal, historic flop of a movie, that's not exactly what I meant. But flop or not, at least let her do whatever she actually wants without worrying about commercial success or critical acclaim.

+ Abracadabra isn't really "commercial" by traditional standards, it was massive, but it still didn't crack the US top 10. She could still have a ROL / Believe / Hung Up moment ahead of her. But if she has to try, I'd rather she go the ROL route and do something new.

All four of these looks eat so hard. Different yet cohesive within the same family of textures and colors. It really does look like a mature and elevated version of the Gaga brand.

Mother fed me.

Left me gagged and gaped

also idc but I'm counting Cirkut and Abracadabra remix as Gaga wins, so that's 4 wins in total for her last night

And how about the Abel collab? When do we except that? Yesterday we found out there was info about Gaga and interscope inside his page code (?), but this fact was overshadowed by Grammies. Is the release imminent?
