They may have more commercial success but no impact

'All these other artists only have trendy hits or viral videos, buy they have little to no impact/influence. Also, is is quite obvious that no other artist right now has the overall talent and artistry that Gaga has. Gaga is still once in a lifetime kind of artist.'

sure enigma sure...

anyway you shouldn't really care about success or impact. just stan for the music and let the music speak for itself instead of numbers. really hate when this **** happens, because i just don't get why so many people are obsessed with success... gaga already has lots of $$$ and at this point she can flop forever and she'll still stay rich so success really doesn't matter anymore tbh

I don't care about success. That is exactly the point of this thread. Impact/influence>>>success.

you do, that's why some comments about success made u so hot and bothered to make a thread and saying impact>>>>success? like you're just being the same as people with 'x > y cuz x sold more' but you'll be like 'x > y cuz x has more impact', and for me that's not how it works. but you do you

All I am pointing out is that there is no reason to be jealous of other artists when Gaga is very talented and when she has done so much more than most popular artists today.

Um, Rihanna won the first ever AMA ICON award and the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon award. And, uh, Britney? Madonna?

​If you think that by impact the OP means "winning an AMA Icon" (most of the time bought by the labels, it's just a coincidence they won these awards in the middle of a new era), then you really understimates Lady Gaga.

Also what really defines impact in today's current pop culture and not just trends? Yeah around TF/TFM she definitely influenced people to be more out there and different, but what about now? Can we really see any of her influence in the past couple of years? Even with Adele who made ballads the next big thing, you don't really see that much anymore either. It's weird how we can still cite influences from decades ago, but nothing really seems to actually stick in today's pop climate

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

That is because most artists today don't really try anything different. Its all very safe. Gaga and many legends of the past are risk takers and very creative people.

Right but that doesn't necessary translate to impact. Most members in this thread keep discussing 2009-2011, but for how much longer? We're already almost halfway through 2015 and nothing seems to to be a definition at this point. I mean there really is no standout at this point, everyone seems to just be doing their own style with no regards to trends.

But there is still an overall trend that everyone follows. Now being urban and minimal edm. Anyway, most of impact and influence comes from fresh ideas, it comes from artists that just want to express themselves regardless of whether or not they are going to be popular.

I don't think I am. I am just stating the things she has achieved and done.

​Why not Gotye tho? Even him showed that it's possible to make an alternative hit. There have been a lot of them in the past. I got to go to school right now so I can't give you links. xD YOU said that Sia "had an impact because everyone knows her voice".. Now you change it lol... Anyway both obviously had an impact but it's that small that it's almost pointless.The music industry would be pretty much the same without them

​im not talking about hit im talking about careers 

and  me changing the sia comment was a joke 

seriously u never understand my jokes and our argument is always stupid :rip:
