It's okay to miss those eras, just don't let it cloud your judgement of the next one. It's also okay to dislike the current direction, you don't have to be "loyal" to her because she is just an entertainer at the end of the day. Don't let anyone tell you you're not allowed to feel how you feel, but also don't get hung up on it! If you don't like it, find something else to enjoy.

It is kinda boring to see her with the same outfit in twenty colors and hear 10 radio interviews about the same subject, but I will withold my judgment until the full album comes out. I was complaining too much in the past and people told me she will change once the era starts and now that the era has started everyone is complaining about Gaga. Ironic.

Let's wait and see.

actually, to me this looks more like an act than those eras before

I think this too, without disrespecting Gaga, but her movements are so unnatural lately. She was much more herself in the C2C era.

she does it to please her fans and the public

I disagree strongly with this :oprah:

I saw a user post something similar a few days ago. Something like "we're the customers, she needs to satisfy us". I don't agree with that at all. She's an artist. She evolves. Her music isn't just some product on a shelf, it's an expression of something about her. There's a little bit of her in each song, ya know? If you don't like it, you're free to take your business elsewhere but don't ever feel like it's her job to please you or anyone else but herself.

Spoiler

That got less directed at you and more generally speaking towards the end btw :hug:

OT: Of course I miss other eras. I miss the LGBT themes of BTW and the crazy, kooky styles and expression in ARTPOP but I'm also excited to see what kind of ride she's going to take us on this time :flutter: the era's all but a week or so old, I don't think we can really judge it yet.

we have videos and music to bring us the memories from the past. i think i am only salty because i was not fully involved in the btw and ARTPOP era. i was aware but i was not a stan like i am now. i was too young to be involved and now i'm just wishing i could go back in time.

While I don't think she needs to satisfy us, her music is for her fans and we pay her to see her perform songs we love and we expect entertainment. What she wants to express with the music is just a part of her artistic vision.

This. It's been just over a week since she started the era. The amount of meltdowns I'm seeing from the fanbase is unwarranted imo. Wait to see how PI does, wait to see what you think of JOANNE. Then you can decide if this era isn't for you and you need to take a break from her

Honestly. I like the new era so far because it fits with where I am in my life. Actually all of them did at the time.

Yes, I see this too.... all of this seems too much like "look at me, I'm a human being just like you" just in time for the new album

I really don't want to be negative about her willingness to change in every aspect of her life. She's adapting as a performer and no longer feels the need to create shocking performance art, whether that's her actual performances or her outfits or the controversial things she does. And that's fine.

But at the same time, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the 'normal Gaga'. This era just doesn't excite me so far. I want to love it, but I just... don't. And that deeply saddens me. I'm not being a hater, because I'm still keeping an open mind for the album. I just can't hide the fact this Joanne era is really boring so far. Hearing her say Joanne is "just a bunch of songs about my life" feels very wrong. Where is the passion, where's the creativity? It's upsetting, I'm not going to lie.  

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!
