Is Gaga Making A Mistake?

[HANZ 4,380]

If the C2C tour finishes by the end of summer next year, I'm certain she will use the next months after to make the final preparations for her next album

There is no reason for an album to not be released until late 2016, she's already writing and recording songs!

I'm expecting a lead single at the end of 2015 tbh

it's still so late

[RainingOnMe 7,280]

The next album is due early 2016. Not late 2016.

Unless she adopts my idea of dropping random standalone singles that eventually fit the theme of a future album therefore starting out an album era with several long term established tracks already out.

then 80% of her fanabse would be gone

 

 

but the 20% left would be even more dedicated and allow Gaga a lot of freedom.

 

In the OP, you give too much credit to the GP, especially the way pop fans define "GP".   By pop stan definitions, the GP is only pop fans who listen to pop radio.  Those people have an attention span measured in minutes.  If someone is on radio with a song they like, they pay attention.   If they aren't, they don't.   Gaga could wait 5 years, and if the GP decides they like the music, then it wouldn't matter how long she was gone.  Top 40 is fickle and populated by what's trendy, and many pop fans simply take whatever radio gives them, especially if clear channel runs a song at the top of every hour.

 

The only people who care how long of a break Gaga takes are Gaga fans, who of course are always going to want to listen to new Gaga music, and also Gaga fans who are afraid of other stanbases making fun of them if Gaga disappears for a while.

  So much truth in one post. thanks. Gaga should just take her time, i even think that late 2016 would be a good release date, with VMA comeback like ARTPOP and then lots of promo. She could release the B sides and some stuff for the fans in 2015 tho..

things are different now than they were 30 years ago

 

we live in a digital era now where people can use you one year and completely forget about you the next one

 

we have seen many cases like this in the past 6 years  and there's A LOT of competition right now

 

plus most of those Madonna's eras were nothing but SLAYAGE unlike ARTPOP and C2C

You are totally wrong though... Madonna had less successful eras than ARTPOP like American Life or Erotica (which was equally successful with ARTPOP)..And Cheek to cheek is actually SLAYING for a jazz album

but why does she have to wait all of that?

 

she can easily make a masterpiece without trying too hard

 

she made The Fame Monster aka her best album in six months and had a amazing concept for it that wasn't try hard

 

sometimes the more she waits and trys to make her music better and better the worse it gets

 

look at ARTPOP, the swinfest versions were perfect and so much better thant he studio versions of them

[Morphine Prince 105,627]

Yes, it's a mistake. Especially after how horrible the management for ARTPOP was. But the delusionals won't think so, don't even bother to convince them.

Imo 2015 is the year to release new Pop material, not 2016.

she was already the ultimate queen of pop when she released American Life tho

 

and Erotica is something that you've never seen again in this world

 

all the controversy gaga and other popstars have done are baby plays compared to the erotica era, she mades songs about s-x in a time when people were not as opened minded as they are now and made a s-x book with of the gossest **** you could ever imagine, she predicted and kinda wanted all the attention and she got it unlike gaga with ARTPOP

I'm not even discussing this. The album versions where as we know them LONG BEFORE the iTUNES ones, she just daid she changed them to be a little different. And she didn't write TFM in six months. She had some hits like Telephone or Bad Romance written already.

finally someone with common sense

 

yes ARTPOP was released in 2013 and we have C2C but she needs to release a new pop album as soon as possible to fix her image which couldn't be more damaged right now the last thing she needed after an underperforming era like ARTPOP was a jazz album, now for a BIG part of the world she is still the try-hard girl who flopped with ARTPOP and underperformed with Born this way and hasn't done anything shocking or interesting since then and blah, blah blah.....

 

and again and big part of the world is not aware of C2C existance

 

she should release a new pop hit in february or march tbh 2016 kinda sounds like a career suicide

 

but oh wait C2C is slaying the world   :toofloppy:

That's out of the topic though...Gaga did get attention with ARTPOP too and at least ARTPOP has a globally known hit (Applause) .Even my friends who don't listen to pop at all know the song..Erotica didn't even have a big hit single..Erotica (the song) peaked high only because of the hype,the song wasn't popular at all.. Comparing Gaga's career to Christina's is really wrong anyway because Christina was not only late 4 YEARS to make Bionic,it was also a terrible album lol... Gaga is making albums really fast compared to other popstars and her next album is probably going to sell well too

I can't tell if sarcasm...

Are you high?

C2C is exactly what was needed to rebuild her image.

the erotica era is iconic tho and has influenced the new generations including gaga and it's still remembered, I don't really see the same for ARTPOP and applause in the next decades

 

and gaga got the worng attention that she didn't want, people called her a flop and laughed at her and all ot hat, meanwhile the Erotica era was Madonna's plan since the very beginning, she knew exactly how the world would react and people were SCHOKED with it and now Erotica has the praise of the critics and the world for being so ahead of its time

nope it wasn't, it was just tea

 

sometimes the tea hurts tho

[Glory 2,247]

ARTPOP > Bionic + Lotus 
even Applause >>
So you can't really compare them and their flops..
