Lady Gaga, Pop Music Needs You

The Super Bowl, Grammys, and Oscars offer her a respectability hat-trick, after which maybe she can come back and save pop music.

February is a big month for Gaga, featuring three high-stakes nationally televised performances: first the Super Bowl, then a David Bowie memorial set at the Grammys, then a ballad at the Oscars. By the end of it, she will either have completed her surprising transformation into America’s leading gala singer, or will have left a portion of the world fuming at her sacrilege.

Really she has two choices for how to tackle the challenge before her. She can faithfully cover a few of Bowie’s defining tunes, making for a relatively safe bet as with her Sound of Music performance. Or she can do something weirder and newer that attempts to channel his adventuresome spirit. If it’s the latter she goes with, the risks of blowback are high, but so is the potential for a career-defining moment—maybe even the return of Gaga the pop star.

Gaga-uary will end, fittingly, with the Oscars, where she will perform the only piece of original music she put out in her year of normcore: “Til It Happens to You,” recorded for The Hunting Ground, a documentary about sexual assault on college campuses.

But fans of the ’08-’13 era when she did battle on the Hot 100 might argue that 2016 pop is sorely in need of a Gaga-like presence. The current chart dominators tend to be strained, calculatedly cool presences, whether it’s Bieber in his lip-biting “Sorry” phase or Alessia Cara acting like she’s so over partying or Selena Gomez shimmying blankly or Drake scowling from the top of the rap heap or Rihanna morosely messing around in the studio. All these artists refuse to find joy in nonsense, and to them I say ro-mah ro-mah-mah, Gaga oh-la-la.

You know you're in a good position when the media is basically saying that music is not the same without you.

Someone needs to paste the other pop girls' faces on these guys so that this GIF can become the most memorable GIF in the history of GIFs!!

On Topic:  I loved the article!  :applause: I'm not so sure if Gaga should take any risks with the Bowie tribute, tbh.  I don't want her to be attacked by the media again.  Her hard work on cleaning up her image and all of the praise she has received, as a result of it, needs to carry her through onto the next music era.

I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.
