Is Gaga doing a 'Beyonce'?

[Riot Poof 2,236]

She's just not gonna overhype the upcoming album. That's a good thing.

[FGGrayson 9,670]

this:  A) Gaga is not really working on the album and she's hardly done any work on it

[Jester 6,306]

I think there's still no plan for LG5 right now, Gaga is obviously working on it, but they'll probably wait till AHS and public reception of her as an actress to decide about the new music release schedule

[StrawberryBlond 14,840]

I do think she's pulling a Beyonce, but not in the sense of dropping an album suddenly. She's pulling a Beyonce in the sense of she's reintroducing herself to the public in the most postive light in a variety of ways, with the end result being that she'll come back stronger than ever. After 4, Beyonce disappeared, she didn't even tour with it, and her career was called into question: would she ever have hits again? Would she come back from this flop? Well, suddenly, out the blue, she was doing the Superbowl, a Pepsi ad, had a speaking role in a movie, did a feature on Jay's album, her random tour consisting of some of her biggest songs, etc. The demand was off the scale and suddenly, everyone was desperate for new Beyonce music. When the album came along, its success was a foregone conclusion. It was a very clever marketing move and I think Gaga's totally copying this concept in the hopes of making a similar comeback. Her album with Tony, her Oscars performance, her role on AHS and so on, is showing the public how talented she is and the range of her talent as well as proving how natural and gimmick free she can be. By the time the next album comes along, she'll be in a much better place with the public and they'll be willing to welcome her back with open arms. If it works, you could see more popstars do this the next time they have a big flop. Xtina needs this plan desperately but RCA just can't be bothered putting her out there.

I have nothing else to add other than Gaga loves promo and spectacle so we are sure to get that in spades when the time is right.

i remember when i was new i made a thread in a wrong section and everyone jumped on me as well

------------------------------

i think it's good that shes not telling us anything

but i doubt that shell do a surprise release :) 

[Yanko 9,860]

I hope for a Gaga + Madonna album in the near future...maybe 2018..."Bitch to b---h"...here for it.

Also Beyonce managed to film the videos for every song on the album on top of her tour and making the record itself. So it's not IMPOSSIBLE but I wouldn't be surprised if Gaga's taking her time especially considering that she really needs a good break. It went TFM->MonsterBall->BTW->BTWB->Surgery->Coupleofmonthsbreak->ARTPOP->artRAVE->CTC->CTCtour->AHSFilming. All that on top of music video filming, private performances, interviews, (kinda) Eau De Gaga release promo. Like GURL. CHILL THE HECK OUT!! 

[Hurem 17,800]

I don't think she's going to do a surprise release, but she's definitely doing what Beyoncé did before the self-titled album. 

[Riley 1,342]

I have to think she's waiting for the Cheek to Cheek shows to finish, she's gotta film American Horror Story this summer, she's probably gotta do some promo and touring for the show when it finally airs in October - but I mean she's not one to not be able to multitask so I'm sure she's probably been working slowly but surely on the album this entire time but hasn't said anything cause she knows it won't come out for a while

However it's hard to multitask when one of the tasks is promoting a new album - so she's probably waiting for the end of this year/beginning of next to release album so she has ample time in her schedule to promote properly 

[RegiRey 443]

So obviously we've hardly had any news about #LG5. I mean not even a title. ARTPOP wasn't released until November 2013 but still even 1 year and 4 months before, the title was revealed. Now I'm in two minds about this A) Gaga is not really working on the album and she's hardly done any work on it - B) She's doing a 'Beyonce' on us and not telling us ANYTHING but is cooking up something real good. But then I think Ahh Gaga's busy, but tbh Beyonce was on a world tour and was recording the album at the same time and Gaga's done that before too so it's possible! But maybe she's just attempting a different approach by working on it and trying to make another 'Fame Monster'

Also Interscope may have told her to not promote the album like she did before by hyping it up only to let the general public be disappointed.

 

What does everyone think?

I'm sure Interscope/Gaga don't want to hype it so early. Its kinda fu*ked up when they do tho

[Nazscar 4]

She IS working on the new album but the reason that we don't know anything is that she want's to do it right this time. Take her time and see that everything is just right, do the promotion right, see that she doesn't promote a new album while still on a tour for a previous album, which she would be doing if she dropped the album now as the Cheeck 2 Cheeck tour hasn't finished yet.

plus, she probably isn't releasing anything because she realised how judgemental some 'Little Monsters' can be before even knowing the full story and stuff.

She told me during the meet in great after the artRAVE in Antwerp, Belgium, that she will do things diffrently with the new management she has and that she will leave everything from the past behind that has to do with her old management.

[elijahfan 26,123]

I think she's definitely working, but she's taking her time tho. I also think - hope - she's learnt her lesson and she's keeping the thing under wraps. I don't think she'll pull a Beyoncé - I assume this will be a regular release, with an announcement several months before. Everything is being organized for the next record to be her true smash comeback.

[barcodemonster 3,525]

I don't want Gaga to do a beyonce. 

A year full of image rebranding and surprise release your album only to forget its existence 2 months later
