Y'all shan't mess with Sir John, he has more of a taste in music than y'all do. If he says ARTPOP was a bit of a bad album, he was right.

 

Now sit back, wait for the next stuff, and enjoy.

 

I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

"Slap honey on that young pancake"

The Queen of Pop can do better as evidenced by "Do What U Want" and "Gypsy."

Tbh, I don't know about Elton xD first he says he loves the album, then he says it's a bad album... that could mean two things, one, he can't make up his mind and switches opinion like it's a pair of underwear, or two, LG5 will be so goo that it makes all the other albums look like ****. :3

No he doesn't he is saying she should make a carol king album. How is that respecting her to be herself or respecting any of her work? It is a massive insult imo nobody has even heard of carol king. this is just some cant live without you song as if that hadn't already been made over and over again and we have seen where that sort of music got us. some of these tracks i have actually heard but it is not particularly outstanding there were better stuff in the 70s and worse aswell but if the 70s were so great then we wouldn't be in 2016 with one of our best artists being pursuaded by a senior citizen to reproduce someone elses work from  the aftermath of 2 of the biggest wars and disasters in history. do you think just maybe the younger generations might be better placed to have a rational idea of how terrible the 70s were and what is good music? Maybe Gaga should be left alone about her ARTPOP instead of going on the radio and saying your "friends" work was bad and you know better coz you sucked up to old liz. this is turning into a rant really mr john went on the radio and said ARTPOP was a bad carreer move and he is supposed to be friends with gaga and he said tapestry is what she should make. you really couldn't make this **** up.

You know who really needs to get back to the quality of his earlier work? Yeah, that's right -- Elton John. Only in this case, I'm talking like 1970's, 1980's.

ARTPOP really wasn't a good album. If Elton has went on record saying this about ARTPOP, don't you think Gaga herself has shamed the album to Elton? 

ARTPOP is Gaga's worst album to date. Ya'll act like she's put out a hundred albums, the woman has released 4 plus Cheek to Cheek. ARTPOP failed critically, commercially, and the only people in the world that listen to it are die-hard fans. The album was an all around failure. It's not Gaga's fault. It's not our fault. It just didn't work out. 

For the life of me it makes me want to vomit all over my keyboard when I see the delusional "OMG ARTPOP SLAYS" messages on here... like get with it already. I hope she does finally come out and say that she hates the album. There's too much baggage there for her... I personally know if she could have, she would have quit the album when everyone in the fanbase ripped her over picking DWUW over Venus as the second single. People have no clue how that devastated her. I personally swear to it.

If I were Gaga, I would hate ARTPOP too. 

Except the album did not really fell both commercially or critically. At least not for the most part. Applause was very successful as its first single, DWUW also did very well despite of bad promo, and the album itself has sold about 2.5 million albums. Critically, it has a 61 in metacritic, which indicates mixed but mostly favorable reviews. If the album had failed it would not have sold as much or it would be under the 40s in metacritic.

He's not "wrong", it's his opinion. The sooner you come to grips with the idea of subjectivity the sooner you'll stop wasting so much of your time with these endless and pointless discussions.

I'm pretty sure Elton John knows a little more about music than you do, anyway.

Opinions can be wrong and misguided.

Most people in the world did not listen to the album. Plus ARTPOP has a 61 in metacritic which indicates mixed but mostly positive reviews. So I would say otherwise.

Elton John, Lady Gaga, most fans, every awards committee, the critics, and the GP all agree that ARTPOP is a terrible album. We don't need these silly threads like these; they'll never take away even an ounce of its terrible reputation, inconsistency, vapidness, messy production, bad lyrics, and 62 Metecritic score.

I guess you don't know what 62 on metacritic means. But let me tell you, it means "generally favorable reviews".

With your knowledge, Britney Jean is a good album.

ARTPOP is a little bit Messy but it has strong songs such as Applause, Do What U Want and Gypsy. Average/regular songs such as ARTPOP, Fashion!, Sexxx Dreams and G.U.Y.

Spoiler

And messy songs like Aura, MANiCURE, Swine, Donatella, Mary Jane Holland, Dope, Venus.

Spoiler

Worst song =Jewels & Drugs. :saladga::rip:

Spoiler

I think Dope needed more time to become a really good song, because the production it's not HQ.

 

It's true honesty it's not her best album, but we have to give her a lot of credit for working on this album in a very dark time in her life....

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to Britney, so I wouldn't know.

You're using metacritic as validation that ARTPOP is a good album when many mediocre albums have received high metacritic scores.

Then how do you base your opinion that most people in the world disliked it? Did you ask everyone? I mean, I feel like most negative reputation came from under performance and bad promo decisions from Gaga. The album itself wasn't all that badly received. Some songs like DWUW even made it on list of best songs of the year. Plus, I don't really need metacritic to know that the album is good.
