Adakam 2 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 ARTPOP was meant to fail, and there was nothing she could do about it. It all started with TFM and Bad Romance, a mega successful era, an unprecedented leap to the top, which created an insane overhype for BTW, that was stained from the start with the Madonna thing, but actually earned more hype and popularity because of it at the start, until it became stale a year later with the reductive comment, and overload of support for the LGBT community that set her not just as a gay icon, but more into a gay only artist (was it at jimmy kimmel show, that she said something like "id love my baby more if hes gay"? she lost thousands of ARTPOP sales with that, trust me), and finish it with 20 dates cancelled on her home country? THIS WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN,, even if she had 15 bad romances in there and her whole team from back then, it probably would have gotten 100k more sales, at most BUT, this is good, because people know shes still around, in the background but she still makes noise, next year, with Cheek to cheek, everything is going to change, it will be a brainwash for the world to make them forget about all those things and realize that Gaga = talent, and thats the perfect set up for the next full era. bookmark me, her next era after C2C will be her biggest one yet, ARTPOP is like a free era for her, like an experiment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe 17,094 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 tbf though, I only listen to G.U.Y and sometimes DWUW from ARTPOP now. Even MJH has gotten a little boring. I can still listen to most of Born This Way, TFM and TF and the remix albums and it still sounds fresh. ARTPOP aged fast imo. It wasn't her best work.

Gohan 16,447 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Stop implying that the gay comment was the reason of the "poor" ARTPOP sales. It's not about that. It's just the overhype and the fact that she was EVERYWHERE. Saturation is bad. And Katy will face it just like Miley is starting to feel. Also, the music is outdated. Electronic music is EVERYWHERE :cry: tryna go ask Alice, tryna catch that rabbit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Hoegan 1,018 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 IMO : from the first listen I knew ARTPOP is not 'it' I remember I listened to it the day it leaked, the day after, and then didn't for the next week because I didn't feel the need, it didn't tempt me at all to me, this album is just another good album, a bunch of good pop songs by a pop artist. pop artist. just that it doesn't sound Gaga to me, it sounds like a product... I want Gaga to try better next time, with decent concept : fresh sound, good topics+lyrics, purposive imagary, 1 or 2 distinctive looks and all of it to be toned down, because it feels like her craziness is too 2009-2011 and people got bored of it (I sound like a lil manager so I'll shut up now...)
