What happened to this fanbase?

[moonboywow 3,136]

Am I wrong when I say we used to support and applaud Gaga for doing something different? Remember the transition from paparazzi to bad romance and then to alejandro? Are some of you just going to support and applaud her when she's on top and slaying everyone? Are some of you going to complain and want "another song that slays like poker face or telephone". Why do you constantly reach back into the past instead of dreaming of what could happen?

I think our fanbase is okay. 

[jorgeropero 345]

Excuse me? You shouldn't generalize. :P

I think the majority here are up for anything Gaga has to offer

 

[Giorno Giovanna 3,178]

why is it so important how other fans "evolve" or "change" ?

I think there is no constant transition or change. I guess a lot aren't that interested in the Jazz era and thus there is not much to talk about or things that you can support.

 

I guess there is pretty good feedback about her looks/outfits and future plans about AHS and LG5 right now

[GloZell Green 11,723]

I think that the fan base is okay. 

the only problem is that some monsters only love the bling, not the music

I think it's because in past many things were happening, slayage after slayage. Now as you said we are left with dreaming what can happen. Grammy for C2C and Oscars did make a huge impact on her career and stuff, but we all came here for pop in the first place.

While I agree that there a lot of complainers, I'm not one of them. I firmly believe Gaga's best works are ARTPOP and Born This Way and a hundred twinks obssesed with Paparazzi can't tell me nothing.

[Iwontell 7,312]

Well, I can only speak for myself when I say I love (almost) everything she has done so far, I get it...as for the others, one can only lament their lack of...vision...

because not all of us have to agree or like everything she does currently or in the past, much like you don't agree with her doing her traditional pop with stutter lyrics and want her to do rock , we all have different opinions, perspectives and goals based of of what we do and don't like about her career and sound in the past to influence her future, some of us prefer her older sound, some prefer her latest and some want something new. Like for example I would like a more TF era sound with 2012 looks but someone else will want her to be like 2013 Venus era looks with TFM's industrial pop inspired production.

It's subjective and a good thing for us not to "YAS' at everything, but lets be real, when TFM arrived i'm sure many didn't like the sound at the time and wanted more of the sound of TF and the plastic pop meets avant guard looks that were replaced with pale skin and strong colour palettes and high fashion Like she said before "you won't appreciate me now you'll appreciate me in 30 years time" which is accurate, what you may dislike at the time you may love and understand at a later date tbh.

One man's trash is another man's treasure and what not.

but those songs were better than some of ARTPOP's tracks. TF and TFM singles were chart toppers for a reason. It's not about the bling it's about what sounds better

[Miley 5,006]

We don't have to like everything she does, right? I mean, at the end of the day we as her fan base are her audience, we pay her with applause. We make her "relevant". We're entitled to have different opinions, I didn't like ARTPOP (the album) nor the era, but I loved everything that had to do with C2C, some people feel the opposite, some loves both and some don't like either. But as a fan base I think we have mutual respect for each other and that's something beautiful. 

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

This fan base is, in my opinion, no worse than any other pop fan base out there. Lots of funny, cool, creative types, and lots of shallow, whiny, b---hes. Everyone is entitled to their own views and such. Overall though I like this fan base, because overall I think we have a lot of good people here, even the ones I disagree strongly with (my opinion isn't everything). The only thing is is that this forum (or any pop forum) is by no means an accurate representation of the real world. The things that people obsess over here no one cares or talks about outside of pop media blogs and mags. But it is what it is. I really like most of the people here.

[TiphEret 1,320]

I love this fanbase, I think it's one of the coolest, that's why i come here daily while I barely know what's going on with Gaga, actually I barely listened to ARTPOP. 

Here you will find so many people, hardcore fans from the early days, people who joined for the pop, some for the look or craziness, for her views etc... so of course everyone is different because Gaga has so many different facets that she is exploring and no people can't love everything she does because that's life. It's ok to be a bit critical and have your own opinion as long as no one feel entitled to anything and don't whine because she doesn't do whatever whims we have.
