giskardsb 12,565 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Nice article in PopCrush: http://popcrush.com/lady-gaga-long-game-comeback-success-pop/ We’re used to being entertained by our pop stars, often enjoying the kind of spectacle Gaga mentioned in 2009: the rise and fall of artists who’ve had a fall from grace. At that time, her contemporaries were fellow female pop titans like Rihanna and Katy Perry. This year has seen both of those women try to push the glittering, pressure-laden successes to one side and figure out where to move next: Rihanna is leading up to the (hopefully soon) release of ANTI, an album that seems destined to shift away from the chart-obsessed streak of her earlier work, while Katy Perry quietly puts to rest the colorful wigs and cartoon persona that has typified much of her output of the last few years. These are performers in flux who want to maintain some kind of profile and connection to their audience, but are still plotting out their next move. This year saw Lady Gaga not only work on projects that showed off her considerable talents, but refine the messages and imagery she puts out into the public. She isn’t just reminding us that she has a talent. She’s showing us the confidence she has to play the long game; to know that if she gets to work in her own time, she can endure as the kind of savvy, engaging (and occasionally infuriating!) pop titan we so sorely need.

Didymus 34,379 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 "The Oscars was the new kind of show-stopper for a Gaga who had to challenge the perception of what she had to offer after the cumulative effect of Born This Way and ARTPOP began to distract audiences from her considerable talent and fatigue with a public persona that was slowly moving from endearing and eccentric to overcooked — and sometimes baffling." Nicely said and very accurate. Though it lacks a strong point towards the end (especially when other female pop stars are mentioned, quite vaguely imo), it was a nice read. Especially helpful to remind you how amazing 2015 really was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
