Why does the GP act like Bad Romance is the last song Gaga has released?

The Edge Of Glory almost sold 3M copies in the US (waiting for the update)

so let's not

It's true, The Edge of Glory really is her last relatable chart slayer. But, I'm talking about impact, not the events of the single's impressions as soon as it came out. You could use that point for any single she has released. My point is people should think of ARTPOP Gaga as soon as they hear her name. 

 

They don't. 

 

and it's frustrating.

THIS. ARTPOP was still too artsy, and not GP friendly at all. A LOT of people felt Applause was a cry for attention. "Gimme the thing that I love!" 

 I did too, until I got the back story, but then I again, I couldn't really relate to it because I never broke the hearts of millions of kids who adored me.

I am not saying that every song she has to release must be a relatable smash, but lead singles? Yes. Yea they do. Leads are the *bang* that draws the attention to the potentially more serious stuff on the album.

Also, to answer what you thought changed, I feel like she lost her ambition. It was so noticeable she wanted it so badly. She wanted to be famous, and she became famous. Then it understandably went away, but it made her badass. I think this is the element the GP can't place their finger on when they are asked why they prefer the "old Lady Gaga."

I agree. Her ambition was so inspiring back in a day. She was stressing that kind of 'I CAN DO IT' philosophy. Now she's more about building her legacy and supporting art blah blah no one cares about that stuff.

But from her perspective, I think keeping so crazy ambitious attitude would be kind of fake because how can she want any more from life. Her peak happened extremely fast so now she is still young but it's like she achieved everything.

well, the ARTPOP era lasted 2 months after the album was released x)

My friends act like she never released anything.

Gaga became too weird, political and LGBT focused after TFM for the mainstream-loving public to handle. I think she and her label thought by that point that anything she did would be loved by all without question. Turned out that they weren't as accepting as hoped. It's a shame because BTW was her best album to me and her potential got squashed afterwards because nobody wanted to hear a song with biblical connotations or a country-esque song on the radio. But people definitely know BTW and TEOG, unquestionably. They just need a bit of reminding. It gets to me when they need reminding, though because TEOG in particular is still loved and alluded to by many members of the public all this time later, it shouldn't need to be dragged out. Mind you, even with some of her older stuff, you'd be surprised how people slip up. I had to do this little Guess The Song Title exercise once and the lyrics of BR were there. And before I could get a word in, the 2 girls with the pen start singing the lyrics and go: "It's that Gaga song...what's it called...I Want Your Love!" And no joke, they started writing I Want Your Love on the paper and I had to correct them. This was in spring 2011, when BTW and Judas had come out. I mean, now I could understand maybe forgetting the real name, but just 2 years after it was released and Gaga was still cool, getting the name wrong? Really?

But the reason for the most part as to why her new stuff hasn't done as well is because the public didn't really know it existed. Post-TEOG, Gaga's singles just stopped making a proper dent in the UK because her promo here pared right back and she released a country song and just didn't make herself important to us anymore. And obviously, we know Australian promo was put on the backburner. Lately, she's just become more of an American-based act and that isn't good for someone like Gaga, who's always had a large overseas following, in Europe especially.

Yes yes yes. Thankfully today, uses them appreciating Born This Way Gaga after she pushes LGBT issues to be disscussed and eventually lead to LGBT acception. 

I really need her to promote LG5 in Europe, Australia (my GOD they don't like her music there) and Japan (who stanned ARTPOP so badly there). She's become too American, and while that slays for sales and success, I really love her international appeal.

No other American gurl has it, and it's quickly slipping away as we speak.

Gaga was still #1 before the release of born this way. People were still interested in her and curious what she's going to do next. I still remember the amount of views on Youtube for the audio of born this way. It was like 70 or 80 million views for the audio alone and I think they took it of youtube before the music video dropped. And that was in 2011 and for just an audio.  She was A PHENOMENON back then. 

That's why I hate born this way so so much 

I feel you T.T

 

I hate it so much too

I want her to have ambition to become and icon, and rn I don't see it. Lemme wait for LG5 tho.

 

do you realize that era is the era that will cement her legacy on the world? It's such an important album, and I'm terrified lmao

It's true - no one else at the moment has that international appeal that Gaga has, not even Rihanna (after Unapologetic, she's really slipped off the international radar), Beyonce (hasn't had international hit singles for over 6 years) or Taylor (still a lack of major international hits and a huge lack of international tour dates). Gaga could change all that when she comes back, slaying as she does with her tours of Asia and Latin America, which isn't really done anymore. I can't wait for her to come back and show people what she's made of and how to do a real international tour instead of just focusing on America and Europe which most artists seem to be doing right now.

also, I can still see the Born This Way audio and it's stuck at 30 million iirc lol

#artRave didn't even touch Latin America tho. Guess "come to Brazil!" has finally pissed Gaga off 

[Robo Ga 15,297]

I can't speak for other places, but I would say the GP in Canada would consider Gaga's last notable song to be The Edge of Glory. TEOG, Judas, You and I and Born This Way were extremely popular on radio here (especially Judas for some reason). I would even go so far as to say that Bad Romance wasn't as popular as the BTW songs. Applause was actually decently popular for a while, but was polarizing, since a lot of people didn't like it and it seemed to fall of the radar when compared to Roar. You're right about how most people just ignored ARTPOP as a whole, and it's annoying, but honestly understandable...the public just couldn't relate to it. I really believe Gaga is poised for a huge, iconic comeback... and I think she wants to be back on top of the charts. Mark my words, her "phenomenon" days are far from over.

[Sister 9,907]

I think that it is more of a case of Gaga becoming more of a "regular" pop star after her Telephone video or maybe up until the very premiere of her Alejandro video. Before this time, Gaga was everywhere whether or not you liked her, you knew almost her every moment and outfit and that having been going on, it made everyone kind of at least want to or pretend to like her or to at least be swept up into the momentum. After this period, it lessened and you moreso had to look her up or care to follow things as extreme, that she DID keep on doing, but it just lost that "it girl" status.

I mean when she comes back. Obviously, you can't go to Latin America with every tour unless you're Shakira. Or even do an extensive tour of Asia either. But she's had her cooling-off period with AP in those regions. It means she'll come back to slay next time. I believe that's why the tour missed out some really obvious places, so she can make them hungry for her next time, to increase demand and she'll have more hits to entice people to go.
