Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I feel like people here think that if Gaga has a lot of attention then LG5 will be successful etc. But I do not agree.All she needs is good music and good promotion..Music that will be smart,fresh and really catchy.Music that stucks in your head with just a listen. Her image also has nothing to do with her success imo..At least in my country her image was bad in 2009 ,it was bad in 2011,it was bad in 2013 and it is also bad now (Yeah more people think she is talented now but nobody here takes her seriously)...She was never successful at the first place because of her positive image. The "attention wh*re" "man" "ugly" comments were always here.... I think that if the first single is as good and catchy as her early singles like bad romance,alejandro,pokerface etc. and she promotes the album/single like Born This Way. Then the album & the single will smash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieGOAT 5,237 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I personally think that image is a huge part of Gaga's package and it would be missed if she were to quit dressing uniquely. However, I agree that she needs to shift her focus more to music and proper management and away from worrying about shocking people (see the ENTIRE ARTPOP ERA).

Head Empty 25,283 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Image has a lot to do with succes though. Tons of artists are succesful without having "good" music - they're just easy to process for the public - as opposed to a lot that Gaga does. If everyone hates you, you won't be succesful (or at least not the kind of succesful you'd like to be).Gaga has always had a big mainstream following since Just Dance, but also a lot of haters. She's polarizing. Ever since Born This Way the doubt in people started to tide against Gaga, eventually resulting in people being tired of her for ARTPOP. Add some sloppy management to that, and you have the ARTPOP backlash. She lost their attention.That said, I agree that good music should be the base of any succesful era. When the material is good, a good image will follow much more easily. Gaga has already shown the world that she has musical qualities in her this year, so let's hope the next album will bring it to full fruition :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are not the key to success.Afterall even if Gaga releases a single without hyping it at all, it will still get tones of attention because she is Gaga.So attention is not a problem for her at all.
