LaLuna 12,732 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 People have complained about how she is just a gimmick and dresses up for attention for her whole career. People just got oversatturated with Gaga. She can't be on top 24/7. This tbh. I think the overexposure during the Born This Way era is what really did her in, and yes, people have been talking sh*t about Gaga since day one, it's just that now instead of saying she's a gimmick and an attention *****, they talk about how ARTPOP supposedly flopped.

Essence 232 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 You guys act as if she had no critics back then and make it seem as if nobody called her gimmicky or tried to tear her down... She's always been a polarizing artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderLipstick 44 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's not really the GP who have negative opinions about Gaga, it is more the stanbases and the media. The GP was here for Applause and DWUW. They are here for anything "catchy" and "good" that Gaga releases that receives proper promotion and spins on the radio. We are acting like Gaga is more important than she is. She is everything to us, just another voice on the radio to the GP (pretty much). The GP doesn't keep up with popstars the way we do. We aren't the GP. I agree that the media does seem to hate on her so much. And this just makes me wonder again because the media used to praise her! It's so odd You guys act as if she had no critics back then and make it seem as if nobody called her gimmicky or tried to tear her down... She's always been a polarizing artist. This is true. But a few years back if you were to type in lady gaga the news section wasn't the way it is today. All I see is "flop" and "she's over". It's all so hateful People believed the negative comments made by some people in the media, even though the critics and journalists were mostly making stuff up. The public doesn't follow Gaga like we do, and they rely on the media for information. The negative things they read changed their attitude toward Gaga. People have no idea that critics were twisting Gaga's words and taking them out of context, and were giving Gaga bad reviews because they had decided to stan for other artists. It's just a bit ridiculous. I don't see any other pop star or celebrity for that matter who gets bashed on a daily basis. It's despicable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all so hateful Well to be fair, all polarizing artists have these phases where the media turns against them. Madonna, MJ, Britney, and pretty much every controversial but talented pop star out there. Gaga isn't a special case...in fact the kind of media "hate" she is getting doesn't even compare to some of the other people I mentioned. I'm not surprised and the media can just as easily change their mind in the future now that she's become a kind of underdog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer 9,227 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think it's a lot of factors: 1. Born This Way (single and album). It was a huge, brave risk but people were put off by the religious themes and strange new sound. It narrowed her audience significantly. 2. She kickstarted the avant garde/"crazy" fashion trend in 2008 and didn't evolve from that. Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Kesha started dressing like clowns because it was popular. Then society changed, as it always does, and those pop stars changed their styles, too. But Gaga didn't change because she wasn't following a trend; she was just being herself. And the majority of people don't "get" that, so they think she's still stuck in 2010. 3. The media decided to make her into a public hate figure and this became a whole lot easier when her popularity declined and her controversial antics became more frequent. It also didn't help that she started to respond to the negativity, which is something she hadn't done before. The GP started to think exactly how the media wanted them to think. 4. The enigma disappeared. Gaga started showing everybody the "girl behind the aura". She opened up about her boyfriend, her private life, her family; she went from befriending the living legends to fraternizing with Katy Perry and One Direction; she lowered herself by responding to the negativity of talentless celebrities, which resulted in public spats and feuds; she publicly admitted she was mismanaged and acknowledged how unstable her career was. And in doing all these things, she lost the mystery that made her so interesting in the first place. She became the "celebrity" she vehemently denied she was. 5. She disappeared for half a year. Even while on tour with BTW, the media talked about her semi-regularly. Then in Feb 2013, it was as if she stopped existing in pop culture. We saw no sign of her for months and she rarely kept in contact with her fans. Obviously she was going through a very hard time, but I believe this blackout was a big reason why she's just fallen off the radar. It didn't help that she came back with a lukewarm, safe lead single that was unfortunately pitted against a more popular song. 6. She released an album called ARTPOP. With a name like that, it was doomed from the start, no matter how good it was. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

idldte 2 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 When Gaga first emerged on the mainstream market, she exploded. People liked the catchy and fun music, awesome voice, and probably the most significant of all, her fashion and visuals. She would walk red carpets with the most avant grade and crazy fashion, and people commended her for not only dressing extravagant for her performances, but that she would be like that 24/7. Another characteristic they loved was how artistic her shows were. She wasn't just some manufactured pop star. And now, all we hear is how she is just in it for the attention. I honestly don't understand the change in attitude. What made people contradict themselves? Because she's not as good as she used to be. Her fashion used to be brilliant, but isn't anymore. Same with her music. I love Gaga but she's not as good as she used to be. That's why. There' no contradiction. Just a decline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Gaga but she's not as good as she used to be. That's why. There' no contradiction. Just a decline. hmmm... No. Honestly the media holds more power over someone's image than I thought possible. I've never heard the word "flop" used more often than when the media started going in on ARTPOP before it was even released. However, the negativity and backlash started during the Born This Way, so people like Joey can blame her latest album as much as they want, but there's a lot more to it. It's not the music, it's not even her. It's just incredibly easy to tear down a woman who is ambitious enough to go against what is considered normal or expected of a pop star.
