Hey guys.

I always loved Gaga, since 'Just Dance'. 

I only started stanning her like a month into Applause and after I heard 'Venus'. I wasn't really aware ARTPOP was a flop until I realized G.U.Y is not getting many views on YouTube.

I wasn't aware of this site and I didn't use Twitter or gaga pages.

I see all the love for 'Joanne' on this site from the fans and I'm really happy to see it so well received by everyone. I remember I loved everything on ARTPOP but 3 years later I actually think many songs on it were not good.

What were the reactions to ARTPOP when it came out? Did GGD look like what I am witnessing today?

I'm really curious :)

Well, I listened to it when it leaked like a week before its release and honestly I was in love with it from day one; I feel the same about Joanne

I think a lot of teh flop comments and running to Born This Way didn't actually start until it appeared ARTPOP was a commercial failure. It only got worse as time went on.

But I do remember the forum actually being mostly positive of the album as a whole.

I can't remember a single person disliking it. Then mid November came, and the fanbase was spiteful of the management failures. Then it did poorly critically and commercially, and a lot of people decided that they disliked it after the fact.

So do you think we can expect lots of negativity if it turns out Joanne is another flop?

I think people are expecting that now. ARTPOP was supposed to be TFM 2.0. It was her comeback, Gaga was supposed to be #1 again. People at the time considered Born This Way to be a flop. Post release, ARTPOP was a nightmare for the chart obsessed. No one here really expects Joanne to do well on the charts. It'll do okay, and that's fine.

I liked AP and still like it, some people dislike it after the lack of commercial success, i just wish there hadnt been so many troubles with her staff resulting in a messy era tbh

Seriously? People felt BTW was a flop?

It sold more than 1m copies in the first week, had successful singles (BTW huge success, Judas, TEOG, You & I), her tour was MASSIVE.

I know all these facts now but I wasn't aware of them back then. Why was it considered flop?

I'm so curious omg :giveup:

Gaga was overexposed and generally hated by the GP at the end of the era. The entirety of 2012 was only headlines bashing her. Weight gains, scandals, health issues. Marry The Night 'flopped'. Judas 'flopped', by Gaga standards at the time. Then Gaga broke her hip and disappeared for a few months. The fanbase decided that the end of the era went poorly and that ARTPOP would be Gaga's return to the throne. I remember people posting the Paparazzi screengrab when Applause came out. "We love her again". A lot of fans from The Fame era were bashing her as well, for being too different, too weird.
