ThatSLAYGUY 68 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. Spill that scalding hot tea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatSLAYGUY 68 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well, if she wants to feel that the album was a success just because her fans with up-close tickets to her concerts knew the lyrics, that's cool :) this post makes me uncomfortable :madge: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 "a wonderful success bridging contemporary art, rave, and love" lol no Anyway, I'm sort of glad she says that, because I'm really not here for always remembering what a ****ing mess the era has been for the rest of her career. Better to patch it up with a half-truth indeed. This shouldn't be a stain on her work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 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. Truth truth truth! I don't know what it takes to show some people here that Gaga has been successful with ARTPOP. She's not the "New IT Girl" anymore, and once she came into the scene and got everyone else dressing in an eccentric manner her style isn't as shocking anymore, but she's done a lot of really great things with ARTPOP. She's been involved with some big names in the art community, which that alone is huge. Imagine, if you were Gaga, how you'd feel about what you've accomplished so far. Would you say "Man, I really flopped...." or be proud of what you've done? Can you imagine what it'd be like to be woken up in the morning by fans singing your songs, music YOU made, after they'd waited for you out there for HOURS just to catch a glimpse of you? Outside the hotel you're staying at in the third city in a foreign country you've been in that week. What it feels like to walk onto stage and see thousands of people there to see and support you? As far as sales go, Gaga didn't dominate the US or Australian market with ARTPOP the way Katy did with PRISM, but worldwide they have sold the same number of albums. And good lord, if selling 2,300,000 copies of something constitutes a "flop," then every person in the world other than the Top 3 performing artists and big CEO executives must be failures.

Mythos 3,199 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This album was never a flop and it will never be, but it lacked other things which she will hopefully improve with her next album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyPrince 237 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 ARTPOP spawned some of my most favourite Gaga songs ever and the haters will deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm glad she is standing by her work. I don't consider the album a flop, it was just a messy era. And it might not be my favorite album but I enjoyed it (for the most part). :) Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

GagaDragon 10 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hmmm i mean it's okay if she feels that way but i hope she realises why the album wasn't a success. Not all her fans like ARTPOP as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
