CHANTEL 2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just because she has #1 record with huge sales doesn't mean she is impactfull except she is, not only because of sales. Taylor really isn't 'the next...'. She is TAYLOR SWIFT. Artists will be compared to her as being the next taylor swift etc. but she started the whole thing. That's called impact.

SEANGT 4,963 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 She's really amazing. I love watching a pop girl slay! Doesn't matter who it is tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XoXoJoanneGaga 629 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The general public are what will sustain a career, longevity with the GP is VITAL, fans only get you so far in the industry, and trust me they account for VERY LITTLE of the overall sales of albums/singles and even concerts, this applies to the majority of artists, including Taylor Swift. This is true, but Taylor has arguably more GP support than any other female artist in the industry, her longevity and sales are amazing Gaga on the other hand has 2 of the top 5 biggest sales drops of all time, her sales have been completely frontloaded for her last 2 eras and she has very little GP support. I don't see how you can imply Taylor doesn't have massive GP worldwide when she's #1 in 80 countries, and then turn around and say Gaga could have sold 1m first week with ARTPOP if it came out a few months earlier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHANTEL 2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I completely lost it after this... that's like saying 'at this point i don't think gaga needs longevity, she's been so successful up until now she's a success.' that is completely stupid. You could say exactly the same thing about Beyonce's last album? but looking back at it now... was it a huge success? definitely not... did we think it was at the time? HELL YES!!!!!! Did we thing she needed longvity at the time? HELL NO!!!!! Do we think she needs it now? Of course we do lmao... ARTPOP is a lot more experimental and exciting (in terms of sound) than any album taylor has released... Taylor swift in terms of singing, love performance and artistic integrity are all and have always been 'lack lustre' but that's part of her image, she isn't supposed to be a 'pop diva' she isn't supposed to be 'crazy gaga' she is a pop sweetheart. Why so dramatic Don't take things so seriously, there's gonna be people that love her, hate or or just don't care... as long as you enjoy it who cares? i use the same principle when it comes to gaga :) Beyonce is succesful sis. And HOW is Taylor lack luster when Her music has always been praised by her fans and actually got critical acclaim? ARTPOP is lackluster because it didn't manage to reach gaga's usual standards, in every aspect. THAT is Lackluster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy Ezzie 2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The bashing on Taylor ain't cute. Her last two albums have debuted with over 1 million sales in the first week alone and this next one is probably going to do the exact same, how on earth are you still hating on that fact? That is evidently an accomplishment in the music industry today. To say her fan base is only teenage girls is so inaccurate. I'm not a teenage girl and I bought 2 copies of the album yesterday... The girl writes her own music, sings live, plays instruments, what more do you ****ing want? Just because it isn't Lady Gaga accomplishing this, you feel the need to be bitter about it. Pathetic. This so much ! I've never seen so much hate towards an artist tbh (well, except for Katy Perry). When she released Shake It Off and it got a lot of hate here on GGD I honestly thought about leaving this forum. It's so hard to be a fan of an artist when so many people can't stop hating on her for no reason. What annoys me the most is when people say she doesn't deserve all of this because she doesn't have talent. Please people, listen to Speak Now, she wrote everything herself... And that "only teenage girls like her music" argument: yeah well, I'm turning 24 in a bit more than a month and I started loving her when I was 21. Teenage girl you say ? Ugh, if people don't like Taylor and don't have anything to say except "She's trash; how can people buy THIS ?" or other hateful things, why don't they just shut up and don't post ? Rant over.

Rat Boy 41,753 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 And that "only teenage girls like her music" argument: yeah well, I'm turning 24 in a bit more than a month and I started loving her when I was 21. Teenage girl you say ? I'm a straight 18 year old male and I love her! I know tons of other guys that like her music too.

soundwave 193 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So as i said before, nothing against taylor, want her and her album to do well, and i hope she does. Did nobody read this message? It's like you think Lord Gaga is actually trying to take Taylor down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaMyBlood95 9,899 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 except she is, not only because of sales. Taylor really isn't 'the next...'. She is TAYLOR SWIFT. Artists will be compared to her as being the next taylor swift etc. but she started the whole thing. That's called impact. I'm sorry but Taylor hasn't started anything She has a very loyal fanbase, she has that power to sell records, but please - her music and lyrics and performances were always ordinary and reflect whats popular at that period of time.. She hasn't had an impact on anything ever. She is following the trends in the best way possible and you can see that in her sales which are more than amazing, but sis she hasn't brought anything new to the music world It's like saying "Roar" was a revolutionary pop record just because it sold 7M copies in the US, but it's really a typical pop song by a pop artist and a typical mv..

drowning 1 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 i hope she breaks britney's record so her fans can stop using it everytime as a 'receipt' when discussing her latest albums are really low quality :MANiCURE: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. Gaga stans seem to never understand that someone doesn't need to be a controversial artist who does puke performances while dancing in meat dresses to have impact.
