Ouranos 827 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Artists release singles/videos all the time that don't even make a dent on the charts. So, why does Gaga have to stop an era EVERY ****ing time she flops? It becomes the general consensus within the fan base that she needs to stop and make a better album. Born This Way is overexposed blah blah blah. ARTPOP is a damaged brand blah blah blah. Stop. An album is an album. Why is everyone always waiting for a comeback? If you don't think it's good, that's fine. But this is the state of Gaga's music right now. Accept it or for the love of god move on. The general mood these days was the same as after the Born This Way era ended. "She needs to make better music." It ****s me up that people are actually still here but saying **** like that. Whether there's a 4th single or the next album is ACT II or we have a completely different concept coming our way, it's unrealistic to expect Gaga completely switch gears for the sake of popularity. Her music is not a cure for cancer. It doesn't need to put her on top again. It is what it is. This has just been a Gaga Thought brought to you by Fading. Stay bothered, cause I gotta go to sleep.

djBuffoon 12,130 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I don't like the music of ARTPOP, i'm not 'angry' or 'pressed'. I'm just dissapointed. F**k me for having an opinion right? Stop shaming fans who don't kiss Gaga's ass 24/7 The OP is referring to users who keep harping on this board with ways that she "needs" to adjust in order to appeal to everyone once again, most of these threads are asinine and go completely against what she stands for as an artist. You, and others, didn't care for the music on ARTPOP. And that's fine. But that's not necessarily Gaga's fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to try to force my opinion of 'good music' on Gaga, she can do what she wants and i'll like what i like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,515 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 I don't like the music of ARTPOP, i'm not 'angry' or 'pressed'. I'm just dissapointed. F**k me for having an opinion right? Stop shaming fans who don't kiss Gaga's ass 24/7 I'm not shaming fans for not liking the music. I'm calling out people who are insisting that she change her direction in order to fulfill her role as a popstar. "Crazy outfits are boring now." "EDM is so 2012." "She needs RedOne." "The art references are pretentious. She needs to shut up already." There are certain things about Gaga that cannot change or at least can't change within now and the next album cycle. The crazy outfits? The high art references? Unconventional and arguably unrelatable lyrics? These things are intrinsically Gaga. They're part of her core value system now. Actually, half of ARTPOP is not to my liking. But I'm not making threads asking what we can change about her or her music. I studied it. I understood it for what it was. I understand this whole era for what it is. The next step is up to her, not us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy scheisse 22,368 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Seriously! Like, why stop? Rihanna puts out like 5 singles from all of her albums and ssometimes 3 of them wont even crack the top 20. but she keeps going, and nobody wishpers that "Rihanna is over" cause she just keeps going. and sometimes she hits and sometimes she misses. i wish that gagas fans would realize she cannot win every time. not even the invincible katy perry wins every time. sick of this "flop" talk, bring on Gypsy I want a mofugcking music video!

I think it's even worse that people are insisting that she change her direction in order to do what they want to their tastes, rather than let Gaga do what she wants.

AbuHassan1992 766 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It's already hugely apparent, but nobody's talking about it. All people keep talking about is what song will "slay" or what direction she should take to win back the GP. Both are hella old subjects that run back to the BTW era. The more it persists, the bigger the stage will be for her to fail to meet expectations once again. That mindset needs to change. It's ruining the experience of being a fan of music. Fans are expecting the next album to be her ~true comeback~ either by her own will or by the will of her label, which both are highly unlikely considering the stance she proclaimed at SXSW. She would rather leave the commercial music market than to be put in a position where she can't make the music she wants to make. but what's wrong with wanting her to put out better work? I'm not gonna lower my expectations and accept something mediocre from her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,515 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 but what's wrong with wanting her to put out better work? I'm not gonna lower my expectations and accept something mediocre from her Because it's wrong to expect someone to change their values and beliefs for your own satisfaction. She values the music she has done with ARTPOP. She believes an artist should write and produce their own songs. This is will more than likely result in music that is less polished and more raw. This is the road she has chosen and her aesthetic will develop in that direction. If you think that results in subpar music, YOU are the one that needs to switch their focus. Not her.
