eclipsed

She gave me a bit of a scare in the beginning I remember when Disease dropped she disappeared for a few weeks and then we got the Antidote live version and I was getting Chromatica era flashbacks thinking I knew how this era was going to go. But from like February onward she kept us fed with content for what felt like every day. I have a lot more patience waiting for LG8 now, it feels nice. Even the MAYHEM Ball special I'm just like it'll come when it comes.

Amazing but did she really have to say "of all people" she better watch her tone when quoting Prophet Godga

It's a good album. It's just not an album full of singles, just some fun solid pop songs.

She loves that quote, she's said it before lol

I mean did you want her to lie? Even if we put aside the fact the song is terrible, it deserves an F for Fadty thinking it was cute to make a women's empowerment song with the alleged rapist of one of her old friends and peers that was highly publicised. Genuinely what the **** was she thinking

Maybe she never will and that's okay. She has 16 Grammys and is widely celebrated. Some artists just can't do something for example Taylor Swift cannot sing, dance, perform, act or make good music and in Gaga's case she's always been a divisive artist she needs a majority body of people to vote for her in order to win a general field Grammy but how would she ever convince a MAGA person to vote for her when they think she's a satanist. Just like they would never change their beliefs on same sex marriage, they would never change how they feel about Gaga. I'm not saying Gaga hasn't been gp friendly throughout her career but she's always been insanely clear about where she stands no matter if it costs her a bag or means someone will not like her. It's one of the many reasons that sets her above your average popstar, like a Taylor Swift.

Not surprising at all. She obviously knew when she put out Born This Way that it would be divisive, that's why we love her.

I doubt if they offered her to headline she would have said no, but someone pointed out that she's doing it in the tent where she did her first Confessions album so I guess it works as a mutual thing from M and Coachella's ends. It also means she can just have a party rather than plan something massive, but I don't see why she wouldn't do that? Its strange to have an artist at her calibre not at least headline once in her career, I can maybe get Coachella audiences not necessarily resonating with Madonna in 2026 but its kind of like put some respect on her name. If Michael were alive he wouldn't be a sub headliner lets just say that. Then again even in death it seems the newer gens use him more than they do Madonna.

Many reasons but both are genre specific. Dance music doesn't really resonate with the gp as much as it does with the gays and I doubt a lot of her fans like country music. Also its not like Bey is a huge streaming force when it comes to recurrent streams, but if she made music that was more in tune with what her fans want from her then she'd probably perform better. CC looks bad because its 27 tracks, and quite frankly 27 tracks is one of the main reasons CC had very little longevity for me. It seemed like that was the trend around that time to inflate initial numbers and longterm it backfires. I'm never going to invest in an album that long.

I agree with this I love her, but her performances kinda suck at least in comparison to her peers. During her peak especially her breath control was also atrocious, so any moment that was supposed to be a moment always ended up feeling unpolished. The Save Your Tears performance she did with The Weeknd at the iHeartRadio awards was the one time she gagged though.

I'd actually rather a hoe anthem like Christmas Tree than have Gaga make one of these stupid jingles made by Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson etc. It feels so tacky when a mainstream artist tries to make Christmas music, I think it begins to feel more like consumerism rather than creating music because you are an artist.

Before the first chorus on the "lets have some fun this beat is sick" you can hear her sampling Fashion, its the "ooh bop" part at 1:38 very subtle but I love what it adds. She used the same mix on her Rove performance of LoveGame as well. I could be totally crazy but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Anyone who lip syncs during what should be a gag worthy performance immediately loses 10 points cuz if you aren't singing live at that point you're just a dancer and if you aren't a dancer then most likely anyone could do what they do if they had the backing support and budget

I really like this but why does her vocals always sound so drowned out in the production of her songs, its so distracting. It was one of my biggest issues with Brand New Chanels. Also the effects on her voice, can't even make out what she's saying half the time

I live for stunts, give me controversy but maybe consider time and place. I wonder if she would have still gotten as much backlash had she used pasties or nipple tape cause planning to show whole nipple infront of families is kind of wild.

I never knew any of this but my guess is it was pre-recorded way in advance then because I think Ellen usually joins the guest after the performance and this time she didn't so Gaga probably wasn't really there during the taping of this premiere episode and they didn't have Ellen come in for continuity. LoveGame is such a good song, why is it so underrated compared to her other hits? Everything about it is perfection and LOVE this performance she was so locked in, also love the Bowie sample in the pre-chours, the way she says "maybe three seconds is enough for my heart to quit it" is such an earworm here. I actually wish for LoveGame to spawn some little baby sisters on LG8

When I was younger I would have said Adele but seeing Gaga's full potential over the years Gaga is definitely the better vocalist.

I remember they said randomly they didn't like Perfect Illusion but I forgot this happened wth

She posted about Gaga several times

So impressive that Gaga remains around the top 20 most streamed artists in the world even during a hiatus and no real viral moments.

Neither honestly but both are clearly talented. Raye's music just isn't for me and this Ashe song is okay, parts of it are nice but then other parts kinda just feel like a TikTok soundbite.

IDK because as the OP mentioned the song blew up during an EDM craze so it was already a big swing to be pushing out an 80s rock Bruce Springsteen inspired song. It's not like it just sounds like it was inspired by the 80s like what say The Weeknd or Doja have done, it sounds like it was plucked straight out of the 80s sax solo and all. Despite that it never sounded dated. It was a huge hit for her and I hear it a lot yet it still feels underrated in comparison to her other hits. If we need the TikTok audience to give TEOG her flowers, I don't know that a 5 minute arena rock song is the type of music gen z clings to tbh.

I remember her saying she never thought You and I would be a single which is why she performed it prior to the album being released and she used GH in the VMAs teaser so I wonder if there was a world where GH would've been the fourth single before You & I was ultimately chosen. I don't think Government Hooker would have done well though, if radio was iffy about playing Judas how would they have played GH.

Need her in a horror movie so she can be a scream queen of music and film.
