She isn't. LOL.

She has Call Me Maybe, so that's one. She's featured in Good Time, so that's two. And, I Really Like You went to #39 in the Hot 100 so that qualifies as a hit, a three.

I said she didnt end up one lol.......

I don't care one damn about sales either, I'm just pointing out that you're wrong by saying that it's a perfect album.

Pop is meant to be generic and catchy? Ever hear the song 'Don't Sing' by Data? It's a great catchy pop song. Nothing generic about it. Pop music derived from rock and roll, and 'Don't Sing' is a pop song which declares war on the regurgitated soulless generic formula of contemporary pop music. It is an ode to rock and roll, appreciates where its genre comes from. Rock and roll is rebellion, is soul, is heart, is mind. Empty, and, as you put it, "generic and catchy" songs aren't enough to constitute pop music. It's an insult to pop music. The generally accepted societal definition of pop music is music which draws on jazz, folk, classical, rock and the fine arts. Nothing generic about it. 

Pop music isn't "meant" to be anything. The money-grabbing corporations are trying to trick you into thinking that not only is it meant to be something, but whatever that something is, they have it. It's utter nonsense and it isn't so you can enjoy the music, it's to that they can make money. 

I have to say I can bop along to a lot of the soulless trash out there, but it makes my heart sink when I do to remember the impure intention behind it. Am I going to go all out Illuminati and say that Rihanna and Carly are 'puppets'? No. I think that's a tad melodramatic. But they are certainly the vehicles; fresh, young faces targeted to young mass-audiences. It's a constant system and a constant formula. 

Wtf sweety :toofunny: Carly is an incredible songwriter.There is a reason why Emotion got 77/100 on metacritic DESPITE being pure pop (which is something that critics hate)..It's EASILY one of the best pop albums of this decade

This is the direction everyone wanted Gaga to go in but instead she's doing an album recorded on analog with only live instruments. :toofunny:

Disco is largely analog smfh

YASSSSSSSS give us your Confessions on a Dance Floor QUEEN!!!

COADF is not even disco, only the artwork is. Even Hard Candy has more disco vibes than COADF.

Erm just no.... Confessions is a modern disco album inspired by ABBA, The BeeGees etc. Hard Candy is more urban.

And for her! It can be great :)

Only the ABBA sample in Hung Up is disco imo. She's Not Me, Beat Goes On and Dance 2night are all more disco than any song on COADF

Not everyone jumping on the Disco/Funk bandwagon and LG5 still isn't out...inb4 it's also disco/funk and she thought she was on to something...YOU'RE LATE!!! :giveup:

 

Exactly. Keep delaying, Gaga. By the time you're ready, EVERYONE and their grandmothers have already released a disco-inspired album and your LG5 will become another ARTPOP to EDM

What? No, just no. First of ALL The ABBA sample is pretty much just The high pitched quitar Loop. Secondly disco is a quite large genre. Thirdly its not a damn tribute act cover album but a modern disco album. C'mon, everyone can hear The disco through out. Its just not literal 70's disco boogie or whatever.

The mentioned HC tracks sure have some disco/Funk flavours to them but so what. It doesnt make it disco. Its urban.

And I know I f.ed up The quote. Sorry

I am so here for this. She has finally found herself as an artist and she knows what she is doing.

If she can deliver a masterpiece like Emotion, I have no doubts of her creating a great Disco record.

In my messy era.

We clearly have different opinions

Nah. He is trying to get you to feed on his pomposity, by masking opinions as facts to back up his own opinions.

Releasing early in Japan was an enormous mistake. :( She should've released the album everywhere at the same date.

You over analyze too much.

No, I actually don't. I don't 'over'-analyse anything. And for some people, this is their jobs. Had I stated these facts but instead they happened to show the artist in a good light, you wouldn't make the ridiculous statement that I'm over-analysing. You would be happy. 

You can't just dismiss hard fact as 'over-analysis' just because you disagree and are defensive about the artist. 

But then again, someone above me didn't like the artist and you stated that they had no taste. That is not only also ridiculous, but it's rude and shows a weak argument. If you have evidence which counters mine, please share. But remember that music is subjective and one man's bop is another man's trash. 

If you don't have shadows you're not standing in the light.
