It's very simple; isn't it very enjoyable when your favorite (pop)star having succes in the industry while she is making great music? I just miss her ambition to change the world with statements and a more conceptual look on her artistry. 

Note: I am in love with PI and I don't really care for the succes that it can/cannot have. Its just that I love to see her perform..

" Isn't it very enjoyable when your favorite (pop)star having succes in the industry while she is making great music?"

I mean... It's nice I suppose, but I'm fans of a lot of artists that will never achieve huge success. I see them live, I buy their music. It's just not something I value that much at all.

That's not really what the question is about though too, I mean it's more from Gaga's perspective. Why should she care? Like if I was in her position the last thing I would be worrying about is chart positions - I've made my money at this point I can make whatever I want and play to people who are interested in what I make.

I'd love more performances, for example, but I can't really fault her for slowing down on that front. It's a heavy schedual and pretty hard.

Simply put: she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. She's already proven herself capable of many great feats and the fact that she is an amazing artist, musician, songwriter, actress, and a wonderful human being. I couldn't ask for more, honestly.

Their names are Bad and Thriller.  Beyonce's defining hits also mainly came from only I Am Sasha Fierce.

I can continue to list off LEGENDS with few iconic eras if you'd like. :)

Thats absoluty not true. MJ career is way more that just mere two smash albums. But let's not get ibto that now. :)

Obviously Gaga get there to be a legend (well maybe not MJ&M level). But she has to keep delivering quality artistry for many many years to get there. She is NOT there yet. Those above mentioned are certainly not just a couple of hits artists (beyoncees status as a legend is a bit still in question)

Erm so are you succesting that she has allready achieved everything on The planet and is in The place of a legend who truly has nothing to prove anymore but to enjoy life? Nothing has ever surpassed her work? Shes been true pioneer if everything? Riiiight...

Then you would be very very wrong. She has quite a lot to prove and "endure" to achieve The forementioned status of a legend. As you know, a few number ones don't do it. There are hundreds of artists with those through out history. Yet not all are legends that endured The rest of time...

But like I said in some other thread. She doesnt have to he numbe one to be a legend. However certain degree of success is needed. 

But most of all, she needs to keep proving herself as an artist for another 15+ years to be a legend. So yeah, she has a lot to prove still. :) Ofcourse she can do it! 

 

Ps. Be "proving" I truly mean delivery brilliant artistry that will make ppl want to see/listen to her for years to come. Again, moderate commercial success is plenty enough.

No that's not close to what I am saying?

I'm saying Gaga has already had a spectacular career, has accomplished incredible things, is continuing to accomplish incredible things, has made a lot of money and doesn't need to prove anything at this point. 

In her position, why wouldn't she just enjoy her life and spend it making music she loves and pursuing projects that she enjoys?

Not quite true, he had 5 giant albums. Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory. His last album (Invincible) sold 10M copies with little to no promotion because of a label dispute. He's remembered for his hits from all of these albums, not just Thriller/Bad.

GaGa's career is more than merely two smash albums also. However just like Michael Jackson now that she's no longer on top only those 2 smash albums receive continued attention.

Also similarly to the king of pop, GaGa is widely known for her unmatched talent. Really quite a few parallels to be drawn here actually  :unicorn:

All of those were huge successes but 2 of them are still impacting and being referenced in pop culture today. 

I cant look into the future but with how commonly GaGa is mentioned by my gp friends despite not having a hit in 5 years, I'd imagine she's pursuing a similar route, just not quite as spectacularly.
