[RAMROD 110,098]

Her greatest enemy is herself though.

Troy, he ****ed up a whole era.

Troy dropped her because she wasn't selling the ARTPOP like her previous work?   am I right?

I don't know, he left her because of artistic differences, they had an argument and they wanted to do different things.

Angela is basically the same person as Perez Hilton tho and they help so much in destroying ARTPOP and Gaga's public image

I can't at people choosing Troy... I get that he milked her and he is bad, but he was at least trying to sell her music, he didn't act against her

FFS, people, he didn't try to sabotage her project and whole persona like Angela / Perez did in 2013, what are you even choosing in that poll

MESS

Troy used to be her worst enemy and out of that list he has been the most destructive, but now that he's gone there's no more problem. Perez is a big pain in the ass, but he doesn't have the professional or personal relevance anymore to be her "worst enemy". Same more or less goes for Fusari.

So I'd say some of Gaga's fans are her worst enemy, but also her biggest blessing. There are continuous poisonous sources within the fanbase that are - in multiple ways - expressing their love for Gaga in the poorest ways. Disrespecting privacy, constantly focussing on charts, being hateful towards others, and being too demanding and possessive towards Gaga. The fans have a lot of power, and are sometimes the least capable of using it the right way.

I guess Troy... he had to hurt her pretty badly for her to make a music video about it, go on a "CREATIVE REBELLION" rampage, and cockblock his credit for Backplane.

Pigrez is up there too on the list, but I think she has better things to worry about than a fading celebrity blogger these days.

I don't know about enemies, but I would say her biggest problem to overcome in her career right now is her fanbase. 

 

I think it was a short-sighted decision to "brand" her fans as Little Monster's, and create this online cult of teenage superfans. Not only did it alienate fans who don't identify, many of the kids who she's endorsed with this nickname are immature and reflect poorly on her. And because she's vocally established this dynamic where she is their mother, leader and what not, they indirectly represent her and her brand. And its hurting her image.

 

Another problem with Little Monsters, is that these kids grow up, and they grow out of wanting do identify as Little Monsters in the same way. They may still love her music, but they don't want to participate in the whole cultish frenzy and still be perceived by others as who they were when they were 14. As it stands now, Gaga doesn't really accommodate well enough for casual fans, mature fans or fans who don't want the fact that they like her to dictate their own image. 

 

So yeah, Gaga's big challenge now is to rebrand, and become accessible again to more fans, and not be an "exclusive" artist for the Little Monster club only. I'm sure she can and will do it. And that she'll be on top again.
