Mr Josh 3 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Lol and of course this thread is filled with negative messes. Why are you still coming here tho, when I wasn't really feeling her back in mid BTW I just moved on with my life instead of obsessing on the internet and saying negative **** about her. How about you do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGaga 7,585 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You can't do a sold out arena and stadium tour with a flop album unless you're a legendary rock band (who only play the old hits anyway whereas a popstar will do their current material), therefore ARTPOP is not a flop. I'd like to see other popstars sell out a Greek stadium with an underperforming album a mere 6 years into their career. I'd like to see other popstars perform a sold out world tour where the cheapest ticket is £60 with a flop album. For the record, Rihanna didn't tour with Talk That Talk, despite having its lead single be one of the biggest hits of her career. Every single that followed had the same type of performance as the rest of ARTPOP, and a tour didn't happen. It must have been because her label deemed demand couldn't be overwhelming based on one hit. They must have also deemed her fanbase not loyal enough to support an underperforming album. Beyonce was in the same situation with 4 and she could definitely have had the demand. And Xtina hasn't toured for her last two albums. In fact, most popstars wouldn't have had the guts to tour with an album like ARTPOP for fear it would just end in cancellations and embarrassment, as I've just explained. But this tour has proved that Gaga fans are still loyal and she has demand both from new territories and old haunts. That is the mark of an artist who will be around for a long time and doesn't need massive commercial successes to prove that. :worship2: You slay me with your perfect post.

That is the mark of an artist who will be around for a long time and doesn't need massive commercial successes to prove that. Exactly. I was initially worried when she first announced she'd tour this album and thought it was horrible idea given all the backlash and setbacks, but she's really come through with this tour. It truly is a testament to her star power, her reputation as a performer, and our loyalty as a fanbase. You can tell she knows the album had some issues with not connecting like her previous work, but I don't think it's in her personality to NOT stand by her and Zedd, DJWS, and Madeon's work.

ryhanna 3,507 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 She isn't wrong. Artists would **** themselves for the sales from this album and single. True. Sure, by Gaga's standards it wasn't that successful, but damn, there's so many artists out there who would kill for even half of that success.

Creyk 17,821 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It really depends on what is her definition of success. I guess she does make good money from the tour and the new perfume so she could be right in that regard... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark 7,098 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 let's not be delusional here Specially the "is a wonderful success bridging contemporary art, rave, and love" part made me cringe Where are the lies? She did bring all those three things together with the ARTPOP era in many ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus 1,494 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 When you're filling arenas, you're successful. People b---hing about her "flopping" can't even get 100 likes on a Tumblr post. They just imagine everyone in the stadiums to be die hard fans who are uber obsessed. However, that isn't the case. There are many casual concertgoers and people who are interested in seeing her. Even if her stadiums were just filled with stans that shows how impactful she is to have such a large, devoted fanbase.
