"She's not talking about fame, money & drugs so it's the real her"

They equate these things to Gaga's early fantastic weird image that was not relatable to the GP.

Because I don't care about fame, fashion, the applause, etc. I LOVE all those songs but it's so much better for me at least that now her songs are about topics that I can really relate to like heartbreak.

For example I know what Judas is about but you need to really think about it to get it and that's not the case with PI, you instantly get what the song is about, and let me tell you that becoming relatable it's not basic at all.

That's what I'm referring to though. You're saying she's becoming "more real" now, then what was Dope, So Happy I Could Die and Bad Romance then? 

Again, no one is denying that she was completely real with us in previous eras. However, this album and overall era is going to deal with those personal experiences/stories. Dope, So Happy I Could Die, and Bad Romance are all wonderful examples of her realness and openness.

However, those albums and eras didn't necessarily showcase deep, personal issues. Dope, for example, is a deeply important song. However, ARTPOP wasn't a hugely, deeply personal album. It was about the philosophy about putting "art" in the front of everything.

LG5 will be full of personal songs and experiences that she's had, the overall message behind LG5 will be more personal than previous eras.

I mean this is not me being like "Oh, this is the real me, surprise!" Uh, this is just um where I am in my life right now, how I feel right now. I always change whenever I make a new record,

I can take my work and my life in a completely different direction every other year, and still be just as REAL every time I do it.  It's called change.  If we are lucky, we experience a LOT of it in our lives.  

I don't think she's going back entirely to Red and Blue, nor The Fame, nor Rave, nor Jazz, nor Rock....this will probably be something different, which is good because different is necessary!  We need to get as much difference into our short lives as we can!!

We all know she's been real , otherwise I wouldn't be a fan .(at least I do)  Every album has been 100% her . And that's why I love her . But not everyone can see that . A lot of people think she is an illusion . And sometimes she is kind of an illusion to the public she's like a magician that can shape shift and form . Which I think is the art of show businesss . That's what made her a superstar because she was so good at doing that . But what makes it better is that she has solid talent if u take all the illusion that away there is still a star underneath . That's what I feel Gaga wants to show with lg5 she is like everyone else she's not a "alien" 

in the Past Gaga used fantasy , imagery , methophors to express her pain . It was real but it was disguised in many chameleon forms  because maybe she wasn't  ready  to let it all out raw . She's an artist she wanted to create these fantasies for the world and her fans that's what set her part from everyone else . But now I feel she wants to just let it out UNFILTERED . She's not showing a new side or stripped she's just talking a new perspective .shes older now she's not the same person she was at 23. That's a good thing . 

but now she is stronger and completely wants to open up like ever before . She's had so many new experiences , she's gotten time to spend so much time with her family and friends for the first time since she became famous . How can u expect her not to change and grow as a person .

I can't wait to experience a more wiser Gaga this era 

I love this post and I can definitely see your perspective. 

I'm not denying anything you're saying because of course you also get my point. I'm just afraid Gaga will become to "down to earth" for those who can't "see her" because of the things you've mentioned. I think the beauty of Gaga (one of) is she uses those metaphors and imagery, it's like a great added touch for who she is and her incredible talent. It's like she's someone who's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't it. 

I love her ever-changing spirit but I just don't care for people saying she's becoming real/raw because I believe she's always been that way (just expressed it in her own way.)

Great post.

And not everyone was willing to take the time to see that she's always been real.  They saw her surface image and that was that.

Older people like to see her down to earth.  Younger people want crazyGa.  Her fanbase has aged a bit, so we'll see what happens next.
