Fans dragging fans, my thoughts...

[Dominic 11,922]

I very rarely see any "fake fans" on GGD or in life.  I mean I have friends who class themselves as fans but only like her hits, does that make them a fake fan? No. 

The idea that we need to categorise and differentiate between fans is silly as we are all fans at the end of the day. I think people just throw those words around to assert their supposed superiority when really where is being a fan going to get you in life regardless if you've been here since Just Dance or C2C. We're just Gaga fans, I don't think there's really more of a need to explore it further because there isn't anything to explore.

The Fame didn't have 3 recycled instrumentals from previous projects, pitched vocals, only 2 properly released singles... The Fame as a product it's one of her best along with BTW. Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Eh Eh, Beautiful Dirty Rich, all can take a **** on ARTPOP tbh

ARTPOP hasn't been paid dust by Gaga unlike TF, if anything certain elements from it (most prominently DopeGa) are carrying into LG5.

Debatable, of course. I think only three of those choices, from a songwriting perspective, can compete with songs like "Sexxx Dreams", "Mary Jane", "ARTPOP", "Gypsy", and a few others from AP.

Camp #2 want change. They probably loved TF/TFM/BTW and maybe even ARTPOP/C2C but they want something different. They are more into the idea of Ronson rather than RedOne. This group isn't necessarily as chart obsessive as many in the other camp, what they want from her is to expand herself musically. They don't want more electro-pop, they are ready for Gaga to go the Bowie or Madonna route and continue to morph and evolve into completely different sounds and aesthetics. For this camp, Gaga's potential is exciting and they want her to explore all aspects of her talent. They see her cover Sting, Stevie, Bowie, John Lennon and a wealth of Jazz artists and think about how diverse her music could be.

For camp #2, they see Gaga cite these transforming artists as inspiration, see her constantly changing her looks and see her tribute a whole range of musical artists.

It might also be good to prepare yourself for the possibility that the pop product that you fell in love with might not be the direction Gaga wants to go anymore. It's okay and understandable to be upset at that, but at some point you need to let go. The problem with this is that if Gaga keeps steering away from the direction that you like then eventually you will only like a minority of her body of work. You might still say that her earliest work is her best work, but the fans that remain and see something else in her would argue that it's YOU who doesn't recognise how precious her current work is.
