Elton needs to listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBrzT5SAH-s

 

Mr Jon rates this track called Williams' Blood as "[expletive] amazing" I only mangaged to decipher bits of the lyrics. It is weird it is totally different to gypsy where lyrics are very clear but you can check them here. It has gems like "You can't save a wretch like me", "he womanized
Staying up all night" and "I've got the William's blood in me" repeated. Seems a bit of a dodgy track certainly not to my taste. Definately can't see how this is ******* amazing and ARTPOP not good.

The critics seem to favor Rebel Heart more (68) and I would like to see Gaga do similar numbers like Madonna with her 13/14th album. 

You are saying this as if you knew for SURE that there is no chance of Gaga ever being able to pull this off. :toofunny:

Your subtle jab and shade doesn't bother me at all. Im proud of what we did on Radio ARTPOP. Im just saying something that is very true... ARTPOP had massive commercial success compared to Rebel Heart. RH was a huge disappointment from a quality and commercial standpoint. 

 

Furthermore back to the Radio ARTPOP thing, I am really sick and tired of people like you using it as a derogatory slur or something negative. You live your life as a fan on a forum, I lived my life as a fan outside the box and got closer to Gaga than you ever will because of it. 

This is exactly why people trash the show because the majority of you have your heads so far up your ass because of it. You aren't better than any of us and I can't believe that 2+ years on you still have such a holier than thou attitude about it. That is completely not what Gaga is about. Get off your pedestal.

Time will tell I guess. Actually from a quality standpoint I think RH is better but this is all irrelevant. I was just comparing the albums for other reasons. Both albums were huge disappointments coming from musicians held to such a high standard by themselves and by their colleagues and fans. 

RH is actually an improvement on Madonna's image. She wasn't exactly trying to be hip and cool unlike MDNA. Many fans seem to enjoy RH way more, the lyrics seem much relatable and better music.

Most people in the world agree with him.

Everyone except die hard stans agrees with him. Nobody listens to ARTPOP except gagadaily members.... If ARTPOP was such a good album people would have listened to it and it wouldn't have died out as soon as it was released.

I'll never be able to deal with all the ARTPOP hate when it's better than 80% of the mainstream pop albums that have come out in the last few years.

Believe me, it's far from perfect and it isn't my favorite Gaga album either, but it isn't "bad" by any means...

He probably just doesn't like the album at all it's not rocket science. 

And all the science, he don't understand. It's just his job, five days a week.

You can look on the applause video on youtube the statistics it is something in the region of 100,000 views a day and that is just one video. ARTPOP lives in reality.

Could be Elton John doesn't know what it is nor a lot of possibly former musical critics. What is ARTPOP? that is the question.

I think he's right, ARTPOP was her worst album but I can't blame her. She had poor management at that time and she had so much struggles. I rediscovered TFM this week and I feel like those songs are timeless just like BTW will be remembered as one of Gaga's classics. When it comes to ARTPOP, I feel like the first half of the album was coherent and genius but the the other half felt rushed, uncompleted and random. We can only hope that LG5 will trully show her potential and explores her maturity and creative side.
