When did Gaga lose her commercial power?
After she kept releasing flop after flop (Artpop, Joanne, C2C) everyone thought her career was over like Christina Aguilera. Then she did ASIB and she managed to become successful again but that was mainly pushed by Bradley Cooper's name and because it is a remake of a successful movie. After that, she released Stupid Love (a solo song) and she flopped again. Then she got saved by a collab with Ariana. Because of ASIB and Rain On Me she managed to do stadium tour. Then her next movies were disastruous underperformances. She was nowehere in the media anymore and not taken seriously until she was saved again by a collab, this time by Bruno. But her next lead solo single barely managed to chart and get streams and she had to move from stadium shows back to arena shows. Monsters claim she has the biggest song ever. But why is her commercial power diminishing year after year? What happened? Did she really lose her power after DWAS or did she never have much since ARTPOP? She can't get solo hits, her movies don't do well, and she keeps relying on other artists.

Gaga's Abracadabra receives Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tribute...
This looks so cheaply made. The camera work is awful. They're barely synchronized.

Teddy Swims admits to using AI when making music
I wouldn't be surprised that other artists do it too. For example Gaga with Mayhem. Every song seems like she asked AI to produce a song belonging to a certain genre and gave up songs as guidance for what the song should sound like. That's probably why they sound so similar.

Lady Gaga can't sell out stadiums in Europe & US anymore, why?
Then why did she do arenas instead of stadiums? In Chromatica Ball it wasn't even all sold out (I could buy tickets on the day if I wanted)

Lady Gaga can't sell out stadiums in Europe & US anymore, why?
Mayhem Tour is almost ending, and this tour proved that Gaga can't sell out stadiums in Europe & the US anymore. What went wrong? She had a huge hit because of Bruno Mars. Besides that, most of her singles flopped: Happy Mistake (nobody has ever heard of this), Disease flopped, and only Abracadabra made a little noise on TikTok (not the charts). She's now an arena artist and her ticket prices were ridiculously expensive: $600 for nosebleeds, $2,000 for floors. They paid a lot for what basically is spectacle over substance. The tour and album are fully made of recycled ideas. Gaga lost her it status after releasing Joanne. The monsters pretending it isn't happening are delusional. She could do stadiums during Chromatica because Shallow was a very big song! Her concerts are now mostly attended by boomers who know Shallow and DWAS only. I know because I have been to the tour, and while it was okay, it was not fun to be at. The section I was in was not even dancing. They were shushing me to sit down when I wanted to dance to her older songs (I was drunk). But during all the other songs, I sit down just like all the boomers. They did stand up during DWAS and Shallow, but those were boring. And in her speech, she said she wants to continue releasing music for 20 years. But will she even have an audience? The boomers will be in retirement homes. So she is gonna be performing in theaters then? Is she going to be releasing music with popular male artists until then? Why can she not sell out stadiums in Europe & the US anymore? She still has some fame in Australia, Asia, and Mexico though, but that luck won't last forever.

Why all these hateful threads about Abracadabra/Gaga these days?
Because monsters were very confident about her 'success'. DWAS only became a huge hit because it was Bruno's comeback song. Lady Gaga's joker movie failed, it was a huge commercial flop. She was bad at acting. Abracadabra was nice but it was a moderate flop. The tour is overrated. Gaga gets too much appreciation when she doesn't deserve it. She is not an artist but a commercial product.

My boyfriend won't stop being a Barb and lied
My boyfriend has always acted like he is just a regular fan of Nicki, but recently I found out that he actually has a secret Barb stan account on Twitter. I was so frustrated, because I really don't want him to be a Barb at all and be invested in the Barb online community. A few weeks ago we were talking about Nicki's recent tweets and all the MAGA and pro-Trump stuff she's been posting. I told him that if he really cares about being decent, he shouldn't be a Barb anymore and stop supporting her. He agreed at the time and said, "Yeah, I don't even want to be a Barb anymore. I'm done with Nicki." I felt relieved and happy. I even told him that it makes me feel better that he might stop, and I adviced him to delete his Twitter so he wouldn't get tempted. Last weekend he met up with his twink friend who is a Barb. I told him, "Please don't talk about Nicki too much to me, I don't want him influencing you back into being a Barb." He said okay. I believed him. But the next day, he admitted that he reactivated his account after seeing his friend mess around on his stan account on Twitter. When I told him that he promised me to not be a Barb anymore, he laughed and said, "Don't overreact, it's just memes haha." I felt so frustrated and betrayed. I told him he is untrustworthy and that I feel like he doesn't care about my feelings. I even started crying. I don't know how to trust him anymore. How would you react if your lover said one thing but did the opposite? I feel so frustrated.

Has any of your friends or family turned into a right-wing jerk in the past few years
Me, I've gotten more right. My country is getting more homophobic because of the recent immigrations. It has been too lax. Too many homophobes and woman haters have arrived here. We already have enough as is. Let's not make it higher percentage wise. Openminded immigrants are welcome though. The left is too scared to call a spade, a spade, so I left it and became centrum.

Do you get asked if you wear makeup?! Im tired of being asked this.
No but I always get asked if I douched, and when I say no they always look surprised because it tasted sweet and was so clean down there.

Lady Gaga: The Mayhem Ball 2025-26 | 93 shows | $420 million gross
The concert was cute, but she barely interacted with public and the things she said, she says at every show. Also the staging was cute, but compared to Katy's Lifetimes Tour it lacks a lot. At a certain point I was cringing at her saying 'put your hands up' 'paws up' 'monsters hands up' for the 100th time. It was a cute show, but sadly very overrated. Still it's nice to attend. And a lot of boomers attended the show. They were barely paying attention until Shallow started and then it lasted one more song. After DWAS they were just sitting there uninterested. I understand it though. She is a very niche artist and the staging was a bit boring. There were almost no props, besides a skull, sandbox, and stairs. Come on where is the budget? Also the speakers are in the way of the whole screen so I could barely see her. And some parts were clearly lipsynched. Just Dance had a huge portion lipsynched at my show. I was cringing because she doesn't sound like The Fame-ga anymore. Her voice got older and a bit weaker.

Meghan Trainor doing a Barbie-inspired concept for new album. Is it hypocritical?
No, people grow and are allowed to change and change themselves.

YouGov data shows Adele, Bruno and Gaga are the most popular artists this century
This questionary was made after DWAS got released! So it makes sense Gaga has a more positive view because she attached herself to Bruno Mars. Without Bruno Mars, Tony Bennett and Bardley Cooper she would have been viewed negatively. She is smart, leeching off successful loved musicians and artists.

BOAF streamed more globally than DWAS, why?
Birds Of A Feather was released months before Die With A Smile, yet it's outstreaming the latter without payola and without Bruno Mars attached to boost attention and streams. How is it that Gaga's biggest single (thank you, Bruno) is being outperformed by an album track turned single? DWAS had all the hype, the playlist pushes, and the marketing machine behind it but yet it's still getting outcharted and outstreamed by an older song. DWAS had its success on Bruno's name recognition alone and is already fading. Meanwhile, BOAF just keeps growing every day. Is Billie Eilish bigger than Lady Gaga? I fear yes, Billie could sell out multiple stadiums in every big Western, Latin American and Asian city if she wanted. Gaga would have trouble doing that.

Britney appears to drive whilst intoxicated; restaurant owner defends her sobriety
Exactly, or in the car in the parking lot. I truly don't understand why everyone is defending Drugney, when it's clear she needed an intervention years ago. If this was my friend I would not let her go on like this. And I doubt any of you would. The paparazzi mistreat her, but so do her fans by not holding her accountable and looking away from her self-destructive actions.

Britney appears to drive whilst intoxicated; restaurant owner defends her sobriety
Sure, let's trust this man's word and not her family, ex-husband, ex-manager or ex-bodyguard who have confirmed Methney's drugs and alcohol abuse. She needs rehab. I love her but she has gone off the rails and I won't be surprised if in one or two years she will OD.
