The most underwhelming Gaga era ever?

Honestly, it's like she and her team don't even care anymore. I'm loving the music, but I'm missing everything else that once came with it when it came to Gaga.

Gaga has been with us through thick and thin. She basically saved our lives. She defended us. She did not shy away from potentially destroying her career for us. Now, isn't it our turn to be with her? She did a lot for us, but what she failed to do was do something for herself. Instead of killing the artist, we should breed compassion, remember? The only thing that is underwhelming here is us little monsters. We keep on complaining on what mother monster should be, and shouldn't be. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS BASICALLY THE REVERSE OF ACCEPTANCE THAT SHE TAUGHT US. She accepted us "freaks". We should also accept her for being a freak country-indie-rockerchick-gangster-cowboy-weirddeadauntjoannestefanihybrid bisexual bitch she is!

Absomutha****inlutely!!!!  I'm a monster for life for the entire package. Her music, creative vision, heart, maternal caregiving, politics, faith, views on life/morals and everything else! I love the Lady, The Gaga, Stefani, and JOANNE, and when get we get LG6 down the line, maybe we'll be introduced to the CHAOS ANGELina next lol 

Can't wait for JOANNE 

PAWS UP 10/21

The John Wayne snippet gets me Dancin in Circles I'm AMPD :woohoo::rockstar::heart:

Xoxo :hug:

I feel super disgusted by the posts here. :wtf: Is it really all about the promo and performances?!? If a fan is ready to stop being a fan due to the lack of promo that is just sad. 

Um, yes? I refuse to believe that your view on Gaga is this myopic. She's so wildly successful and praised by so many people because she's a jack of all trades. She writes good pop music, she's one hell of an entertainer, she's a fashion icon, creates incredible imagery, has one of the most versatile voices in pop music I've ever heard, has such an intimate connection with fans, etc. Need I continue? Just go watch the DNC performance (the last proper performance we got, not including the dive bar performance). Give her nothing more than some skinny jeans, a wife beater and a piano and she can captivate an audience with her vocal and performance abilities. Now look at what has happened with this era so far. We got what I believe is her best lead single since Bad Romance. The music video was unmemorable (I haven't even watched it more than once, and so many others haven't either, because the camera work is shaky and changes every 0.5 seconds, so I just get a headache). We've got one (one, ONE) video performance so far. We've seen the same outfit in 50 different colours. we've had no interaction with her other than the million radio interviews (which is fine, it's better than nothing). We don't even have Gagavision or Monstervision anymore, so I don't even know what's happening in her life.

So far, the only thing I like about this era is the music; it might even be better than BTW. But other than that? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Now can you honestly say that all fans are like you and love Gaga for her music? Anyone who likes Gaga for reasons other than her music is going to be bored to death if the era continues like this. And I'm not saying it will. If it weren't for the Graham Norton and X-Factor being cancelled, I wouldn't be worried because I like the idea of not having front loaded album promo. But if this trend of cancelling performances continues, I can easily see myself listening to Joanne like a casual fan, but not visiting GGD because nothing interesting is happening. I understand that doing all the things I mentioned earlier are exhausting, and it's her prerogative to choose what she wants to do, but it's also our prerogative to stan accordingly. Gaga's not my friend, she probably will never be my friend. I am under no obligation to stan her.

So while we should be sensitive to extenuating circumstances that may be causing her to cancel performances and not call her "lazy" because we don't know what's going on in her life, I am absolutely allowed to stop being a fan if I damn well please without it being "sad".

Honestly the best part of this era so far has been the Dive bar performance and that was BARELY even a thing. Like I was super excited when watching that and I felt so much promise for the era. This is so bizarre that she's not doing anything right now, like wtffff?! Something MUST be going on in her personal life.

Just enjoy the album...

It's not 2008–2012 anymore...

The album is not bad, and if you think it is, it is alright to have an incorrect opinion...

People complaining about this promo, but where were you when ARTPOP sales tanked and was flopping...

Let Gaga actually do the music that she wants to do and has wanted for a long time...

Buy Cheek to Cheek on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cheek-to-cheek/id909514735...

Let the girl just breathe, she's not even really the one in charge of promo or her budget...

Better buy this album, because LG6 is gonna wish it had this much promo if not...

2 months ago I had such high hopes for LG5 and a lead single called Perfect Illusion being this epic, psychedelic, pop masterpiece and Gaga's coming to slay pop music again.... :flutter:

Instead we're getting a country album with her weakest lead single to date and ZERO TV promo...just lots of radio, a mini dive bar "tour", and canceled promo slots... :awkney:

Where is the passion from Gaga and Bobby for this era like they had for C2C? Where is the promo? Why the cancelations? Why country? Just...why?!?!!! :saladga:

 

Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify!

Sad but true. We'd all be like "Remember the dive bar tour? Iconic!"

Reading people's comments I can see why Gaga wouldn't want to come on here and see what fans think. Let her do her thing. Yes, I agree, it's being pretty underwhelming. But it's her damn career, she should try to please herself before anyone else.

I don't care, then don't come on here. Stop trying to be a little hero.

So far we have SNL and the SB! Don't be so down! I am 100% sure there will be more, Gaga said herself in one radio interview: "I'm gonna do more TV promo when the album is out".

I'm positive about this era.

Tbh. Prepare yourselves for an awful analogy but it's like you've been going to your favorite pizza place for 8 years and one day you go in to order a pizza and they just serve you a plate of lettuce :madge: 

And when you get upset a Little  Pizzaster pops out from under your table screaming "the pizza has changed!!! Can't you accept that??? If you really liked pizza you would eat that lettuce and enjoy it. Stop complaining!!"

Hunny if I don't get my pizza I'm out :madge:

Yes I just compared Gaga to a pizza and the Joanne era to lettuce. F i g h t  m e  

You're right! that was an awful analogy. You're insinuating that Gaga's been giving her fans the same type of material for 8 years. Wrong. She literally changes looks, sounds, aesthetic with every album. Get used to it.

Why does everyone here think there is only one type of pizza :oprah: It baffles and saddens me

I think she suffers from Special flower condition. Where she has taken doing things her way too far. She needs to realize she has fans and she wouldn't be where she is today without them so you need to cater to them a bit. 

I bet she had a whole album complete and then Mark Ronson stepped in and she scrapped the whole thing cause she was feeling this indie vibe and she thinks she's such a special flower that everyone would love it. I knew when mark Ronson came in the picture where this era was heading. I knew it was gonna be so basic. And basic is fine, but not after a 3 year wait. 

In an ideal situation she says "SURPRISE" and releases the album she had made before indie producers came into the picture and raises from the ground slaying the f*ck out of her fanbase with promo and performances
