VANTABLACK 7,787 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 so I was just watching old Gaga performances online with excitement for her upcoming Grammy performance and I stumbled upon this, and I realized how much this performance makes sense now , see below 1.the intro with the guy talking about she has 5 number one singles, and she's like a new doll out of the factory, she's the new girl, and how she has no soul(basically what the gp though of her when she was started out big) 2.everyone is going goo goo for gaga(2010,TFM), but he says her mindcontrolling pop music is ruining his business, and to take her away (born this way, and ARTPOP basically) all the hate she got from critics and gp 3.she comes out on the other side all dirty and torn up, with elton john on the other side. This kinda represents cheek to cheek, and all of 2015 basically her connecting with the classic artists that have inspired her, and she's stronger than ever and she's more then just the clothes, make up, and theatrics, she has her voice and piano and thats all she needs. sorry of the lq video, none other was available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It's kind of scary how true this is. Literally her career up to this point summed up in one performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Gaga has been predicting her career since she started out, if I remember correctly. This is a perfect example. I remember an interview where she said something like "people want me to fall down. [...] We want people who have it all to lose it all, and then work their way up again." I wish she would have dedicated an album to the whole decay of a popstar theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy 5,686 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'd like to think that. Making mention of this will get criticized, however, because not many think Gaga is capable of something so conceptual. With the GP and Gaga, it's in one ear and out the other. The reason why many of us are fans is because we've invested energy in scrapping past the surface and investigating the core. While I don't think it was some grand planned-to-every-detail conspiracy, I do think Gaga understands the concept of the demise of the superstar quite well, and she knew it would likely come for her at one point. During ARTPOP, I think at times she knew what was happening, and played along with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenusBlackStar 1,301 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 An interesting comparison!! Her 2009 - 2011 viewpoint on fame and how superstars rise and fall was so fascinating. It weirdly reminds me of Jesus Christ Superstar, like the way the musical portrays Jesus: as literally a superstar that people loved while at the same time there were those who wanted to tear him down (and also I guess, like, the actual biblical account too, lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrocketing to fame, sitting at the very peak, coming crashing down, and then rising from the ashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just now, bayonse said: ARTPOP ? ARTPOP does portray what it is like for a popstar to be put in a box and to be held to ridiculous expectations, but the music doesn't discuss the decay of a popstar per se. Remember Princess Die? The whole fandom was expecting ARTPOP to sound more like that particular song and have that vibe to it. We had all kinds of crazy fake song titles and while I do love ARTPOP (sonically, it's my favorite Gaga record ever), I sometimes wish she would have released her true decay album.

Her life parallel's Jesus Christ. Jesus is born in Bethlehem = Gaga releases The Fame Jesus is baptized and the heavens open = Gaga is accepted by the GP as a mainstream pop star Jesus performs miracles = Gaga reaches unprecedented levels of stardom. It's Gaga's world and we're just living in it. The last supper = Gaga releases BTW, sharing a last taste of her music before her 'crucifixion', and tells her Little Monsters to "love one another as I have loved you" (i.e starting the BTW foundation) The crucifixion = ARTPOP The resurrection = 2015/2016 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Heart 7,382 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I wonder what happens after that... They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
