What would you do if Gaga goes through a career destructive era in the future?

[Serendipity 7,821]

how could i forget this

 

now that i think, how could i not include Blackout in the list

Brit was on a complete breakdown during 2007

stay til the end

 

[Bad Bromance 5,809]

​Except good music

Which should be the reason people stan for an artist...

And her sales weren't too bad. 

​This!!!!!     On topic, I will always stan for Gaga because she is my # 1 artist.  In MTN, Gaga married the night, right?  Well, I am married to Gaga spiritually!  I love her to death and anything she releases I'll buy because I absolutely adore her beautiful vocals.

Lol yes how are we even worried for Gaga after ARTPOP, Britney's Blackout was a sure end to her career but then came Circus and Femme Fatale to save ha life. Lets act like Britney Jean doesn't exist I don't think the GP are even aware of it's existence.

​don't worry Brit's gonna have her second comeback(so will Iggy) with B9

​Hope so I care about all those 3 Queens you mentioned. Gaga and Brit collab could slay me to shreds tbh, I don't see why it hasn't happened yet both have claimed interest in the idea and have even talked about it when Gaga went to Britney's Vegas show.

​yeah, i remember so many troll threads

"Freak like me" my ass

my queens deserve a smash not some flop

[HANZ 4,380]

Yet Erotica is legendary , so is Bionic tbh. Some albums destructively flop but their impact is timeless both albums I mentioned come with a s-xual sensation that gives pleasure to some listeners that itself makes such albums addictive. Side note , a destructive era doesn't also necessarily mean a flop album see Britney's Blackout.

​britney was aleady in a destructive era even before she released Blackout and Gimmie more

[Kacey Elizabeth 900]

​She had 2 huge hit, Applause (soon 3x platinum in US) and DWUW. And the album sold 2,3M only in 2013, so yeah she had "nothing"

edit: and ****ing amazing music

 

ARTPOP SHIPPED 2.3 million in 2013. It did not sold 2.3 million. it was reported by IFPI and IFPI almost all the time reports the shipments of an album, not their actual WW sales. ARTPOP had sold 1.3 million copies in 2013 and sold 700,000 more copies in 2014 while shipped 400,000 more copies in the same year. Applause was a hit, but I'll argue that DWUW (2.2 million WW & 1.2 million in the US) was not. I mean, even with a remix, performances, and other kinds of promo, it didn't even made it top 10 of Billboard Hot 100. And really? Applause was a hit but not a huge one. Is that how low you Little Monsters place your standards for a huge hit? Even though Teenage Dream has sold 4.6 million copies in the US (8 million WW) and is certified 5 times Platinum by RIAA, we KatyCats still don't consider it a huge hit. let a single that has sold 2.5 million copies in the US (4.3 million WW) and 3 times certified Platinum by RIAA alone. By the way, I am not trying to discredit Gaga. Half of artists today wish that they could sell half of that. 

[Kacey Elizabeth 900]

She already had her destrucitve era! It's called ARTPOP 

[ARTPOPchamp 292]

Define "career destructive". destructive by who's definition? Monsters? Just because Monsters don't like something Gaga does, doesn't mean the work is bad. Monsters really need to stop being so overly critical of what Gaga does. She doesn't have a number one for a while? BFD. B...F....D. 

[Alfonso 1,551]

If the music is good, I'll remain unbothered.

I'm totally here for an era where's truly the embodiment of Creative Rebellion.

​many examples of artists with such eras have been cited across the thread

so, no it's not only gaga

[Creyk 17,876]

Impossible Princess was critically successful but a commercial failure.

If Gaga released something that was of a high caliber but not mainstream I would praise the heavens. A truly experimental and bold album from her would be incredible. Even better if she followed up with some truly avant garde performances and pushed herself even further.
 

​Just because something is mainstream, does not mean that it's poor in quality or "low caliber". I can't with some people, why would anyone want her to do super experimental music? She is a pop star who wants to be relevant more than ever lately, not some indie artist singing for 20 people. Besides, if she did an unsuccessful yet "experimental" album we wouldn't even see her perform. Promo spots are booked for acts who have something marketable to promote
