BB: Gaga Raised the Standards for Pop Ambition

Stars like Beyonce and Rihanna were beginning to push at pop's walls a little bit, but weren't yet at the place of completely breaking the mold. The EDM boom, and accompanying explosion in festival culture, were still a couple years away. Something big really needed to happen. 

It didn't take long for Lady Gaga to prove that she was the asteroid pop music was begging to have crash through it. Debut single "Just Dance" topped the Hot 100 for three weeks in early 2009, and "Poker Face" made her two-for-two a couple months later.

Gaga celebrated her coronation as the franchise player of 21st-century MTV (and YouTube) by wearing a meat dress to the '10 VMAs, and finally Millennials had a pop star who could hold her own against Madonna and MJ.

She and her team during those days deserve all the praise.

That was such an incredible time to be a fan.  She absolutely ruled the world and changed the game.  It's too bad that she became so over exposed and copied by so many other pop artists at the time to the point of being a parody.  I hope that we get the groundbreaking visuals and the fearlessness that we all love so much about her with this era.  Regardless, she is and will always be my Queen!

That's why I'm so sad now, because back then EVERYONE wanted to be Gaga because she was bold enough to do what she did. Every artist now is trying to come up with ways to 'reinvent' themselves and be 'artistic' but it always comes across washed out compared to Gaga's rawness. I'm hoping she does that once again on that Super Bowl stage.

Hats off to her and her team back then, she was phenomenal and she truly did change and raise the standards for being a successful artist.

The three of them are doing it again though. Rihanna and Beyonce almost broke free of the current mold in EDM culture but Gaga's asteroid will come through and blast through again.

Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊
