Gaga Under Pressure with LG5?

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

Being that LG5 is Gaga's best kept secret, this has made some fans extremely frustrated and also having high expectactions for what her next sound will be. With Gaga expressing the album will be "worth the wait" and it being released later this year, do you think this has all added extra pressure for her to make this her greatest work to date and release it soon?

I think the extra pressure will have a positive effect for sure. To an extent, pressure can be a great motivator of course, but aside from that, if she's feeling the fans' pressure, then she knows we're all still here and eagerly awaiting the album's release. I don't know if the pressure is going to make the album come sooner, but it's probably enough to make Gaga give us her best effort.

I think she doesn't read a lot her fans comments now.  Imo, she's currently enjoying the direction she is taking and is happy while working with these talented acclaimed producers.

Just wait, dont ask OK

I think she feels pressure when she thinks about it, but when you're actually making music to the best of your ability I don't think you really care. She's obviously in a good place rn and compared her work process to that for TF and TFM (time and a good, healthy environment), so I don't think that's gonna influence her so much.

For sure, seems like she's praying harder than ever to deliver because she's lost

She has less toxic life matters this time around. And although the pressure is there, it doesn't hurt to have a bit of eustress (positive stress) to keep your goal in sight.

tbh being totally still about LG5 is the best way to cope with pressure of this nature.

Yeah she has pressure for sure : from fans, from Interscope (which probably still wants a big return with a lot of sales), from the GP and radios (which wants her to return to her roots) and from herself (yeah Gaga is a hardworker she likes doing things perfect and let's be honest she likes being successful)

I think she's learned to not overhype or tease us because it raises the bar so high need I not remind you all of phrases such as "album of the decade" and "album of the milenium."  In that regard, I don't feel she has an unbearable level of pressure because she hasn't riled us up.  Where she might feel some pressure would be in the fact that she has provided us with a deadline, the end of the year.  This however I feel is a good thing because it will motivate her to put pen to paper and get into the studio to hash as many song ideas out so that she has a lot of tracks to choose from to make the album.  I think giving her too much time would be detrimental to her because we all know what happened with ARTPOP.  She had to go and ruin the Aura verses, the Sexxx Dreams song structure,  MANiCURE chorus, etc., etc.  If she has too much time she'll nitpick and change things too much she needs to realize her initial instinct--her gut is usually always right.

When Gaga talks with anticipation, she's hyping and making fans have high expectations. When Gaga doesn't talk about her next album, she's frustrating her fans, and giving high expectations. 

I suggest Gaga to doesn't talk about her albums, but comunicate with us with mimicry, or cripting dance moves while being silent, giving us clues about her upcoming album.

she's a musical genius.....like how many songs is she writing??? 200?

rn she's not Michael Jackson to take years and years between albums

[Killa 17,481]

Under the pressure, ofc Bowie and Queen influences together. That's the only true answer

I don't get why she cares that much! I mean look at TFM? 8 GREAT songs, critics in heaven, half of the fandom and the GP call it her best record.....

She cares too much and wants it to be perfect but the perfection lives in the imperfection....

I think she just wants to be sure about the album and she is still scared of flopping. Thats a fact. So of course she is under pressure.

She will release it when its done, she won't leave it to chance Little Managers.
