Seven Things Lady Gaga Needs Her Next Album To Deliver

Yes, but here's the thing, you mentioned the ERA, and how it was handled. I don't need a f*ucking era to enjoy music.  There doesn't need to be music videos or high fashion or anything. I just need music. There's nothing else I need. Please don't turn around and agree with me if you're going to use the "the era sucked so the music sucks" argument.

Yes, but the the good lyrics outweigh the bad, unless you want to take an entire song and album completely serious. Though Venus, Donatella, and whatever other songs you'd want to mention are probably not to be taken seriously. This argument would be much better if you were, I don't know, talking about The Fame Monster, which had a lot of serious songs. or were ment to be taken seriously.

And what's wrong with using something that you've used before? I've drawn things I've drawn before. I've recycled. I've reused lyrics. I've rewritten sh!t. I see nothing wrong with Aura being bought from other artists or Zedd and Madeon reusing their old crap. That doesn't make it automatically awful. Plus, Gaga saw something in these instrumentals, and wanted to use them.

And if I remember correctly, people were PRAISING Gaga like a goddamn Goddess for reusing Earthquake in FoHL.

 

You are taking everything out of context. I said the era was consistent with the album, MESSY.

It's totally different to recycle 4 complete productions to referencing a cute 8 second fragment of a song. And who cares if it's serious of not? I've seen well written lyrics in light hearted songs too. I know Gaga is a messy writer but I wouldn't like her to come up again with "slap honey on my pancake" or "im rich as piss".

Uggh. I'm not even gonna bother.

But so you know, I enjoy both of of those lyrics. Very very much. Because they're fun. Especially the build up to rich as piss.

Yes. As long as her next album pleases you and you only, it's okay. Forget making everyone happy, just only you. 

some people here are so selfish with her music, it's gross. Stop acting like Gaga loved when ARTPOP made her career and world crash down. She can be complex and chill at the same time. 

Hahahaha SPOT ON

Wasn't that what she just did though? Created her vision, not critically acclaimed, not succesful AND was watered down and basic 

[Sakrai 4,759]

Remind me again how many number 1 albums has this writer had?

Right. What the **** do they know about having a succesful album. 

[Koreku 2,387]

I personally feel that she needs to make an album with music that's different from what's currently on radio. She's done so just fine until ARTPOP.

I enjoy ARTPOP, but I would understand why people feel that it doesn't have as much personality as the previous albums. EDM was extremely overused at that time, and so the album may not have felt much like a breath of fresh air like TF/M was for pop culture in 2008/9.

The next few months are make or break for Lady Gaga.

actually they aren't.  She is a multidimensional artist that can span her career in multiple ways.

1. All killer, no filler

This has never been true,  and it's stupid to artificially limit the music anyway.  For every piece someone calls "filler", other people love it.   I love the album  tracks almost always more than singles.  If anything, Gaga should put out as much as she can.  There is no limit to album sizes these days and she always records more than she puts on albums.  Are people incapable of skipping songs they don't like?

2. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel

Even more stupid.  Repeating formulas is not what Gaga should be doing, she should be setting trends not following.  Pop music generally sucks, it needs re-invention and people pushing the envelope.  

9 hours ago, boobtank said:

3. And on that note, embrace the mainstream

No.  Write what she feels the need to, and the mainstream can like it, or not.  An artist doesn't pander to a pop audience that is largely musically clueless.  There's nothing wrong with wanting to write a good pop song, but that doesn't mean that you should bend yourself artistically just to find acceptance.

4. Deliver on the promises you make

sometime **** happens.

5. A consistent album campaign - and more specifically, look

once again, treating art like a marketing campaign.  This entire article is clearly written by a Little Manager.

6. The return of unforgettable videos

sure, can't argue with that one.   ARTPOP and GUY were not bad though.

7. For her to come out of her arse

If people want a safe, non threatening pop star that doesn't think too hard about their work and doesn't engage in social issues, then Katy and Rih are ------> that way.   Sorry that Gaga actually takes her craft seriously.

 

The attitude in this article is a good exposition on basically why the pop music industry sucks.

The praise AP gets astounds me. Aside from a select few songs, it lacked cohesion, heart, and soul, the 3 things gaga has brought to every aspect of her career. I would never want her to do something like that again. I don't care if it sold as much as her contemporaries at the time, the fact it sold as much as girls like Katy and Miley should only prove further it was a step down from where she was. 

I agree that wanting an artist to be someone's personal music slave is selfish, but it could be looked at from both sides: the ones who was AP 2.0 and the ones who want TF/M 2.0. The only ones who are truly being unselfish are the ones who say they don't care what direction gaga takes. (I for one am here for TF/M 2.0 because for me that was the best music, visuals, and videos she's ever produced). 

Yes at you being sensible. Most monsters couldn't even explain ARTPOP, and they like that (which is messy). Well she has The Fame Mons†er producers back so I'm so exited excited.

Lesbireal Gaga is at her best when she emulates somebody

inb4 gagz does all of the opposite thing as they advised her to do in this article  here for the mess tbh

I think its good the media is hyping lg5...i would be worried if they didnt..they want gaga back

In my opinion this person isn't hyping it. They're already creating the illusion of mass pressure so that if Gaga does anything in the slightest differently (which of course she will), that she is going to be a failure, when for ****s sake she has never been a failure. Sales don't = success. Popularity doesn't =  talent. 96% of the media is conformist bullshit. Oooooh bring back your former glory TFM/BTW style/music. Jesus Christ she's a living legend and creative genius which these days is rare and getting rarer. You're hilarious if you think you're going to try and tell Lady Gaga what to do. She cares about longevity and art, not mainstream bubblegum overrated success. 

I have a feeling LG5 is going to blow the world up. I really believe in her, because it's impossible not to. If ARTPOP wasn't to your taste, or you couldn't immerse yourself just in the world of it and its meaning and its healing power on her, and if you're upset that she's living so she can create and vice versa, and you're annoyed that she isn't devolving instead of evolving, that is your own problem. Not hers. And it is certainly not her responsibility as the artist of her own life to please silly mainstream musical requests. 

This article says "the album we all want and deserve." DESERVE? Honestly the self-entitlement of some of these people. The public honestly seem to think they can smugly shake their head, walk up to the artist, snap their paintbrush in half and say "You're over." No bitch, switch the radio station. Just because your maniacally egotistical intellectually deficient brain doesn't like or agree with it, doesn't mean the artist cannot create her own work. If you don't like it GO HOME.

Lady Gaga is in the music industry. It's a business. Business need to do well or they're fall. This isn't an art wonderland we are talking about, but Gaga can suffer her world and career falling apart with an ARTPOP 2.n0 as long as you're happy, right? She pushed the envelope and it fell off a cliff with her along with it.

 

This article is full of suggestions on how NOT to flop. Again. This album will define her legacy as a musician, and if you're not going to take it seriously, then the door is -------> that way.

Everything about this article is on point. Can Gaga please read this?

Lol this article is about being a pop star not her legacy as a musician. Don't conflate the pop industry with musical respect. 

Any industry that lets "work" be number one this long deserves all the disrespect it gets.
