mrlemon 562 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 no it's just that ARTPOP was lacking so much promo that it seemed like ppl wanted it more Gaga, Ke$ha, and Ava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 And this is the problem. Fans cared more about the promo, than the product. They are the ones that let the promo overshadow what is most important. I think a lot of us wanted the rest of the world to appreciate how amazing the product was too though, all that is impossible without a good promo strategy and execution. We're just used to her being in this top positioning and (for the most part) flaw free when it comes to the roll out of her chart dominance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So is not possible to enjoy an album without anything else? For a pop album from an established visual artist? Yes. And same goes to all products. The excitement for an album alone, a movie release alone, a TV show premiere alone will be short-lived no matter what without the added extras such as promo. Promo's the one that keeps that interest, excitement going. And these are the things that make the experience more enjoyable for the consuming audience. The keyword here is "more".

What is bad is that the promo is sometimes the focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mast 980 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 well during ARTPOP the music was overshadowed by how bad the era was handled compared to her other eras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that even though promo was not the best, people here act like she did nothing. And then the focus of discussions becomes the promo and not the music.

Mast 980 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 An entire album of songs, 3 music videos (counting ARTPOP film), At least 7 TV performances, 2 festivals, and the artrave. Girl, we got 2 videos. The ARTPOP Film is the same as GUY. Exact same video except with a long ass into and credits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark 7,016 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 That is because you chose to make the promo the focus of attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mast 980 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 That is because you chose to make the promo the focus of attention. Not really. I enjoyed the music, but there is no denying the era was poorly handled. The TV performances, like the early ones, were poorly rehearsed (X Factor) or just bizarre (SMAPxSMAP). Plus, many of the TV performances were no in the U.S., where she needed the promo the most. As for the festival performances, we don't any have HD videos, most of them are poor, and the performances were just part of the ARTrave, so we saw nothing new. You can like the music by itself all you want, but there is no denying that in the pop world, your public appearances are also important and can enhance or tarnish the experience of an album.

FameHungry 146 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well it's good to see an album you love do well and when things don't go to plan, it can be a bit frustrating. But some here were affected by that and decided they didn't like the album for that reason. But there were a lot of ideas/concepts with this album and era and I think Gaga tried her best to show all of them. I think as a whole, the implementation didn't seem put together, a bit messy but maybe the reason is because ARTPOP was a very huge concept for her to get across. And she did say it could mean anything which would explain why the direction of this era was constantly changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gurl an album of songs I hope an album has songs Am I forgetting something or am I the only one who's counting 2 music videos Festivals = ArtRave or is it not I'm not complaining but what YOU said was a bit... messy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Is not bad to want her to succeed. What is bad is that the promo is sometimes the focus. Unfortunately in this day and age promo = success, as such a lot of us want to harp on the whole situation that worked out against her and how things weren't handled in a way that is seemingly simplistic to us (although I'm sure there's more in's and out's than we would ever know).
