giskardsb 12,565 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Gaga is not just a pop star. She is an entertainer and artist. She looks at her career as a diamond with many facets. Yes, she started out by polishing the pop star facet really shiny and bright, although in school she also had worked on the actress facet, which she has more seriously been polishing recently. She also polished the jazz standards facet, and undoubtedly there are other genre facets she would like to work on. And of course the Broadway facet is likely calling her name as well. The point being that none of these other activities are side projects to her. Pop fans keep using that term under the delusion that Gagas"real" career is unidirectiona l in a pop direction. But it's obvious this isn't true. She treats all her aspects as equals, takes them all seriously. Gaga is not just for pop fans anymore. She's isn't going to just churn out pop album after pop album every 18 months. Accepting this as the new reality will help you appreciate her music when it is available instead of being frustrated that she isn't as plugged into the pop machine as you'd like.

SlaeUrAnus 15,959 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Can we all just let her do her thing? It is understandable for thirsty fans to be pissed off when she is focusing on side projects rather than (in their mind) the priority that is a new record. Do something else. Listen to other artists, go out, read a book. Time will pass and LG5 will drop in no time. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTGOD 3,266 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Of course, Gaga's talent and artistry is just to big to be stuck in just one medium or genre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel 12,525 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 It's obvious Gaga is recognised as a POP artist though and not a jazz singer or an actress. Just because she released one jazz album (full of covers and featuring Tony Benett) and played the countess for like 2 months doesn't mean her main focus isn't being a pop star anymore.

Arizona Sky 10,913 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Thank you for spilling the tea! These people need to realize Gaga is a true artist which means she's putting out LG5 when she feels it is 100% ready. It's probably Q4, but it will be worth the wait.

I agree but your last sentence also applies to people who are patronizing people that only listen to pop music as well. I've seen people here that say they will lose respect for Gaga if she releases another pop album because she's not "evolving". Let Gaga be. For me I couldn't care less if her album is pop, rock, jazz, r&b etc. If I like the music then that's all that matters. We should just wait until the album comes out to judge. Pop fans and "non pop fans" on this forum battling each other is just silly to me. It goes the same for fans that just want Gaga to release a rock or ballad focused album just so she can get a top 10 hit on the billboard charts Nothing wrong with being a chart watcher but it shouldn't influence your love for a song. The wait isn't bothering me at all since I've waited 10 years for a Sade album Fans complaining about the wait and fans complaining about fans complaining about the long wait are both equally hysterical.
