That's a translation of "I'm just going by my intuition" which means you don't know ****.

You literally would have to be deaf and/or blind to not have heard/read about ANYTHING she did for the last two years and whatever people might have heard, it would have been directly opposed to the image she enjoyed from 2011 to 2013, maybe only excluding AHS.

 

I can't prove anything and you can't too. So everything we're basically saying here is 'going by our intuition'. Let's put it right there.

I didn't hear about Gaga in a mainstream way ever since Bad Romance or the meat dress. How do I know? Simply because you can hear it around you, on the radio, on the news. The Oscars performance didn't explode as much as the majority of GGD thinks (or wants to believe) it did.

You mentioned the C2C Tour but that has nothing to do with the fact that the mainstream's perspective on her hasn't changed. I'm not talking about hundred thousands, I'm talking about millions of people. 

Adele's comeback and 25 was received by the public in a very mainstream way. Beyonce's surprise album release was basically everywhere too. Katy Perry had several radio smash hits recently. Gaga has been gone and it's very clear. 

I honestly don't get how you guys want to believe it was the most productive year when Bobby and Gaga both said that it was more of 'a year off' and a year of 'reflecting'. It was definitely an important year though, I won't argue on that.

I've just bought and listened to 25...

To be completely honest, with the direction of Gaga's management lately, she shouldn't be afraid to drop the album 2016 and compete with Adele. She won't snatch EVERY single award but if the music is genuinely good then she should have no issue. 25 is just straight up a good album based on good songwriting (stemming from a long hiatus) and straight up amazing vocals - something this b---h is completely capable of. 

(I just pray that Gaga has some legendary dance tracks because, frankly, Adele is snatching any sort of ballad awards) Losing some to Adele would just have to be accepted at this point, unless LG5 is literally a masterpiece.

I can rest at night knowing that Gaga is safe in Bobby's hands. Now this is a manager who cares!

[PaperIz 7,346]

He's an excellent manager! Love ya Bobby  

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

I like Bobby. He is doing what a manager should, let the artist be in control of her artistic vision, but guide her into the best means to achieve the full maximum effect of her art. He is allowing her room to focus on one project at a time. That doesn't mean of course that she can't multi-task (like I'm sure now when the mood strikes her, she might scribble down a melody or lyric or two, for instance) but her primary efforts are being guided in a way that doesn't overwhelm her, so that she can be in the best creative mindset (relaxed and focused). It must be a real relief to her, and in addition she is having such wonderful support, from Bobby, Taylor, Tony, etc. All people who believe in her and what the best possible outcome for her. 

And the results have been great!

I can't wait for LG5. No need to stress about sales or charts or be at the top of some trend, just focus on making the best damn album and let the cards fall where they may.

- Was Gaga’s Oscar performance a strategic move?
I don’t think it was so scientific that we sat down and said okay, the big goal for 2015 is to change perception of her. But from the time I began managing her, I saw that there was a vocal minority that did not respect her for all that she brings to the table. I wanted to change that and set her up to be the icon that she is.

 

It was a little bit out of context.

It was more a natural development...i' m sure he appreciates her as a musician, singer and artist sincerely, that's the most beautiful . Also he seems to be a very good a--lyst and career planner ...but he seems to be with the heart in it.

"How soon? We don’t know. But next year, I think we’ll show a new chapter of her as an artist and as a musician."

Inb4 2017 and major meltdowns

There was a comma. So that's right 

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

I'm glad he's managing Gaga now. 

[gagzus 15,847]

Ok so after these Billboard interviews my thoughts are;

* We'll get the album and lead single in a similar timescale to BTW

* Bobby keeps up to date on all that's happening so he'll know the perfect time to drop the album & fight against/clear up any backlash she may suffer

* I feel 100% the album will be Disco-Dance Pop with some Funk and Electro-Pop

* She will release an album perhaps once every 3 years or more now if she wants to act more or she may even take an extended break after LG5 and be an actress, mother and wife for a decade or so

* She will most probably have an album full of love and s-x songs on the next album

* We haven't been told or gotten album title hints yet

* Bobby knows the right balanc between freedom and Gaga's job. Gaga understands it now too

If he made her release an album in 2017 I think he should re-read the internet people reactions 

Seriously, I still think LG5 is coming sooner than we think. At least first single. I can't believe he talks about new music coming next year, and nothing is planned. Things take time to plan for sure. You can't release new music on the next year without having any idea of how to promote it and when. He probably knows but it's just his strategy to keep it secret (great to me). 

+ 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...).

Yes, i love that...But still, i think they mean it like, when she's on set, she's only doing that. It's not like actors don't have other things focusing on when they're filming (well those high profile, usually). Well there's always the Meryl Streep's and Daniel Day-Lewis's, living the character everyday. That's not needed in here, tho, and she can't simply put everything on hold.

I bet that compared to her previous schedule with Troy Carter, this looks like she's on part-time.

 I can still see her in pop music but maybe toned down and conservative.  Gaga did mention stuff about her age and how she wants to mirror that in her new music.

I don't think she will be conservative, that's not her vision and it's not the one and only aspect of her character and gaga persona. I'm sure she wants to show all her facets as an artist, musician and singer. For sure she will also use traditional elements, but graceful and artistic...not in a generic way like manufactured plastic. There will also be gaga-esque moments and artistic expressions and impressions, but in high-premium version, smart artful way.

That was my opinion on where Gaga should take her career.  But I got that from when Bobby said they wanted to focus on Gaga also as a musician.  Additionally, there's a reason why he and Gaga are building this new vocal artist persona.  I'm just saying that it would seem odd for Gaga to back to generic pop after she spent a year and a half doing the complete opposite.  I can still see her in pop music but maybe toned down and conservative.  Gaga did mention stuff about her age and how she wants to mirror that in her new music.

Gaga stated in that Billboard interview that she feels more s-xual than ever when she's nearing her 30's. How can s-xy and vocal powerhouse not work? Beyonce made it work and to a certain extent Mariah did.

Again, ask any person (Not Gaga stans but any random pop culture consumer) you know what he/she thinks about Gaga, the answer will remain the same since 2011. 

This isn't as true as you might think. And this was confirmed to me some months ago when meeting new people at a birthday and we talked about concerts and many kinds of artists. Let me tell you that i was a bit shocked when all the praise to Gaga happened. Well, this has happened other times.

And what Troy Carter did wasn't in vain. Her stamp is engraved in everyone's minds, even if you didn't want. It'll be hard to forget about Gaga, and even with less sucess, she's present in culture because she had a wider impact that transcends music.

And the general public isn't as stupid as everyone likes to portray it. It's a passive audience, but when the product is really good, even the dumb and numb can tell the difference. But its mostly important to get the media on her side to explain to those that are dumb, "This is cool and has quality, deserves your pennies!!", and so on.

I wish she'd met Bobby earlier in her career. You can tell he really respects her and her artistic vision. 

I can wait for LG5, tbh. I don't want her to rush anything, I want her to take her time and make the best album she can possibly make. 

 

I also think the failure of ARTPOP humbled her, if that makes sense. 

Not excusing anything that was done to her but I think she's had success right from the get go that maybe failing wasn't a bad thing. Failures are just as helpful as successes

Thank you Bobby
