How big will Gaga's comeback be?

[HANZ 4,380]

I can't say I know how big Gaga's comeback will be... but I hope it'll be the era that solidifies her legacy. I want people 20 years from now to point to the upcoming era and talk about how iconic and influential it was. I want Gaga to shine above the rest in the best way possible, whatever that may be.

true, I hope seh can be ICONIC in the next era, that matter way more than success

I seriously think it won't be huge at all. Sales will be like ARTPOP, if not less

that's not very Born This Way of u

Hurricane Gaga will blow everyone away. She was the "it" girl. Then she showed everyone how much talent she had and "oh, we're so surprised, she can really sing!" so there's no limit to how big her "comeback" will be. I'm so proud of her. I cannot wait for American Horror Story.

I honestly can't believe people on here want her to sacrifice her artistry for chart positions.

Little Managers are the worst. Y'all ain't ever happy.

What's bad is the majority of y'all calling ARTPOP "a flop/too artsy fartsy/unrelateable" are the same ones who were blowing up twitter, facebook, insta, and other pop forums with "GET READY FOR ARTPOP! ARTPOP 2013! GAGA'S COMING FOR YOUR FAVES!" and running around painting your faces while wearing your bed sheets as a cloak.

Messy messy messy.

 

Some of us actually clung onto Gaga because she didn't care about charting. The isn't the norm and that's what we love about her. She's even said herself that she don't care about charting, as long as one person believes in her, she'll be making music from her basement in her parents house. Of course, I paraphrased that, but you get the idea.

Sometimes, I'm honestly embarrassed to be in the fanbase.

Did Gaga sacrifice her artisty for chart positions during The Fame and The Fame Monster? No!  So what is your problem? Gaga DOES care about the charts. Stop using this argument. Before ARTPOP she even said that all the songs were designed to be radio hits. She even tweeted a playlist with like 50 videos of Applause just or streaming points. She even tweeted that the fan with most purchases of Applause will meet her or somehting like that.

you're right! She didn't, but that was because she pushed the boundaries and created a formula that the general public had never heard before and they clung to it. She did the same with ARTPOP, except this time, the general public didn't listen to it because it didn't grab them. It didn't flip, but it wasn't her best selling album either. People already knew she considered herself an artist so they didn't think twice about the concept of ARTPOP. And yes, she may have made the songs more "radio friendly" but that was because she wanted to include more than her fans in this concept of ARTPOP. Taking the power away from the business and putting it back into the hands of the artist. So of course she had to make them radio friendly. Not for chart positions, but to inforce her point. 

 

And ms I don't care what anyone says, she does not care about charts.

her employers still have a little control over her so she may try to get things streaming or on the radio, but that's probably because she is an artist, but she's also a PRODUCT. She has to sell to keep her job.

She did the same with ARTPOP? How exactly? The tired 2011 sound or the messy vocals and over produced songs? I dont think so.

Thats why she needs good songs to top the charts. So she can be profitable and keep her job.

Honestly, I'm just hoping for some good slayage from her. I have a feeling she'll give us what we want. 

The one think I'm REALLY holding a prayer circle for is that she doesn't release the same time as Katy, like ARTPOP. One era of nonstop stan wars and messiness was enough for me.
