He's contradicting himself saying Gaga is only focusing on AHS until she's done with shooting. We all know it's not really true, Gaga is still shooting and she has done plenty of other projects while she was on set (recording sessions with RedOne, Nile Rodgers and Ronson, IWYL, B&N commercial, Sinatra's night, Interviews and photoshoots for Billboard and V Magazine and so on...).

Mess that's actually true Forgot about that.

I don't know. I really like Bobby but you must care about the business if you want Gaga to succeed in the long term. 

2015 has been a great year for Gaga in all aspects but business wise? Not really.

I really hope he knows what he's doing and I hope Gaga and Bobby won't compromise on aiming high commercially again despite ARTPOP's under-performance. It's important to keep Gaga relevant in the pop scene because otherwise, radio will not support her next material. 

Great interview though!

Gaga needs a Grammy for a pop record. Since Adele will take them all in 2017, I'm here for LG5 after September of next year to run for Grammys 2018. 

one second gagadaily don't care about Success and chart numbers, suddenly they don't want her to release something because of adele.

I'm writting this not only because of you  

I really think GAGA can deliver as great, qualitative album as adele did, so i don't think adele or someone will outshine gaga (if gaga really tries her best and she will do everything Properly). IN my opinion grammy isn't as important as safe release date.

I don't buy that they "don't know when" she'll release the album at all. This is the same woman that started planning ARTPOP before Born This Way was even released. Watch in a few months when the era finally start, Gags will do an interview saying she's had LG5 and its release date meticulously planned out for 13 years since before she release of TF. I'm glad to see that they're taking things slow and gauging the public's mood this time because I think that is the key to having a rapturous come-back and I'll be damned if she doesn't deserve it after the slayage that 2015 has been thus far.

The past year has been the most strategically finessed and business minded of her career. Team Bobby all day long.

I just don't want Gaga to compromise with her upcoming era. Truth is...she's been gone in the mainstream scene since 2011, pretty much. Don't get me wrong! I'm all here for Gaga to deliver musically according to her vision but it's Bobby's job to aim high.

She can still have her mainstream comeback and I personally want her to have one. I mean...why not?

 

And if you think 2015 made people change their mind about Gaga, ask any random person in the street what he thinks about Gaga. The answer will remain: "Oh that girl who wore a meat dress and sang poker face? Where did she go?".

An Oscars performance doesn't change the mainstream perspective.

I really don't care about numbers, but I do care about Grammys. Winning Grammys is a way to become a legend. It's all about achievements and legacy. Personally, I don't care if Gaga doesn't beat Adele's selling numbers or something, but important awards are something else. I don't want '21 vs Born This Way' mess over again.

That's not true. I mean, I get what you mean regardless, but this is not the way to put it.

This is not really logical. I mean, if everything from 2011 to 2015 didn't change perspectives, then why do you even expect that her next era can change things in a hot second? Gaga's career unfolded the way it unfolded and there's no going back to a golden era, which never really existed, since she has always had to face massive amounts of hate since 2008.

I do agree that it would be nice if she was on everyone's lips again like she was until 2010 but you can't possibly "plan" such a thing. It's not Bobby's job to make her popular again. It's his job to work together with Gaga to translate her vision into a workable and profitable business plan. 2014-15 has been one of the most rewarding time periods we've ever had and she has successfully worked her way out of being a fan service act in these two years, branching into a lot of different fields and defending her worth to a lot of different audiences. If you don't consider that progress then you can only be disappointed in what's coming next.

So does this mean that Gaga will transition into what she's been doing for the past year now?  It would seem like a waste if she went back to doing ARTPOP type stuff.  That's what I got from the article at least.

Lady Gaga is still considered to be a fame-hungry manufactured hot/weird popstar that has dumb gay little monsters as fans for the gp. The Oscars Performance/ C2C/ AHS weren't things that EVERYBODY heard about and it didn't make people "love her again" or anything. The next era will change things if she plays the right cards, otherwise, it won't be a major success but you know what ? Who the f cares ? even she doesn't ! She's going to release the music she loves making without label restrictions and slay everything because it's obvious that she's kind of going to have a rebirth. She'll be this "mature singer who completely reinvented herself" with the next era. Just mark my words. That's what the gp will think.

What I meant is that an Oscars performance is not what's going to change the mainstream's perspective. It's not a Jazz album either. It's something that will turn into mainstream and frankly, none of the things she's done since 2011 have turned into mainstream. 

I'm very positive in re-invention but to say it happened this year because Gaga released a jazz album and performed a medley at the Oscars? That's a reach. 

I know Gaga has the capability to make the music she believes in while making it top the charts. She doesn't need to feel forced to make music she doesn't want to make (as she clearly confirmed in the Billboard interview). 

There is a deadline for that like anything in life, though. Her comeback relies mostly on radio and when she's going to be gone from the public eye for awhile, radio won't feel the urge to play 'The New Gaga Song' because Gaga will be a has-been.

She went on a tour with Tony Bennett.

That's all I need to say. How dare you
