:oprah:

I'd rather her put out music that she loves and believes in than be a machine that churns out hit after hit really.

I didn't say she should be a machine, obviously.

What I meant is that she could do with knowing what her audience and not being in a bubble. It's not just for the money, it's for her evolution as a pop artist as well.

It's not like the two can't co-exist because they totally can. Not every song has to be a single. There are album tracks. If it really was all about the art she would simply leak her songs for us anyway, like she did with Stuck On ****ing You. 

Gotta put food on the table somehow. Especially when you're basically having a Thanksgiving feast with the people you make music with every time you see them :rip:

Just saying, hit making shouldn't be a priority. If she wanted, all she'd have to do is write some simple lyrics with a "ra-ra-ga-ga-la-la" hook over a RedOne track. It'd top the charts for god knows how long. It's obviously something she doesn't care about too much and I think that's great :nick:

Didn't she say that ARTPOP's songs were designed to be radio hits or something though? :confused:

 

Drag her mr moderator. :awkney:

 

It's interesting you don't understand what she means by that. :oprah:

I'm not trying to insult her :duck: I just don't see how those two statements fit together so I'm questioning it and my own memory. If I don't understand what she meant by that and you do then please explain it to me :laughga:

I know she's not gonna see this but I want to tell her to not regret making ARTPOP.

It's my and a lot of fans' favorite album of hers and the performances and videos and music brought us joy no other album have given us before. It's one of a kind and will always be regarded as one of my favourite albums.

It helped me appreciate artistry on another level and I've seen things differently after that album. I'd regard this album as having a bigger impact on me than Born This Way did.

Same.

She is able to design an album dedicated to the mainstream and desing the next one as more "not-mainstream-focused"

REALITY

People need to realize that Gaga's not the type of artist to just create a hit for the hell of it. 

If she creates a hit, then that's just a byproduct of the song's popularity. A song shouldn't be made for the sake of the charts and positions, but instead made because the artist wants it. 

Songs like Poker Face, Just Dance, Bad Romance, Paparazzi, etc. etc. were all songs that she loved and cared about, it just so happened that they did well, very well.

Yes.  This is why I consider Gaga an "artist".  She creates for the sake of the art.

how can I tag everyone that's been hating this era because she isn't making commercial pop mainstream music and shitting glitter? 

Lol 1)I haven't seen anyone blaming her for not making mainstream pop.I've seen people that just don't like the music 2)PI is commercial pop music :p

You usually try to understand every other artist, it's funny how you want to show now that she's contradicting herself. :nails:

I don't see how those two statements don't fit together. I won't bother to say anything else.

I have seen them like "PI is a flop, PI is too rock, Gaga needs to dress weird, etc". PI is NOT commercial pop music now. This is commercial pop musoc nowadays. Pop music changes everytime, please tell me what Pi has todo with this sound

It's called living halfway between reality and fantasy at all times :excuseu:

Imo, and I might be totally wrong, when writing the song itself, she's thinking about the message she wants to convey and the story she wants to tell. The production, however, can be "radio friendly". The production on ARTPOP really took a seat of importance 'cause the whole album (save Dope) was supposed to be this "explosion of my pain in electronic music". So both of her statements are true at the same time, she just had those thoughts at different stages during the album's development :oprah:

You know, planting and growing a healthy flower before you make it presentable :oprah:

As long as that flower is neon green and pink with black vomit on it and little Koons Orb ornaments :oprah:

Spoiler

At least, that's my rationality. We all know the girl's crazy :laughga:
