Should Gaga collaborate more with contemporary artists?

If she doesn't want to she shouldn't...

Actually no they don't, they use payola for everything, writing checks to get accolades.

I don't think Beyonce has used payola since she hasn't had a hit since 2010. Plus wasn't it Gaga who had allegedly made a deal with radios to play "Perfect Illusion" every hour for a couple of days to help it become a thing?

P.S. I remember some of you laughing that neither Christina nor Britney were able to get a top 10 hit and now the same happens to Gaga. Guess some users here would foam at the mouth once Katy comes back and scores her next number one hits.

So true

You are right, it is up to her and as long as she is happy, I guess we will be too (or at least some of us) but unless she steps up her game and comes up with some relatable and great stuff, she can't complain that she will not collect another big hit. And for a popstar not to have had a smash hit since 2011 is a big deal whether some like it or not.

I'd be happy if she did that, as long as the collab makes sense and it isn't just a cash grab though

@Bloody @GrandeVersace @gagasgrande @Born To Slay might agree with me.

I do agree!!!!!! I hope there's a Gaga feature on AG4 (which is btw almost finished according to Ariana)

[BloodyJudas 2,758]

What would y'all say if she featured Drake/ Justin Timberlake or Bruno on the radio remix for "John Wayne". The song is relatively short so making it a bit longer and commercial would only be beneficial

When has she complained about not getting a hit tho? And she can get it even without a collaboration imo.

Their collaboration would have slain the world!!! I would love to see that happen

No thanks, I don't wanna hear lyrics like "I'm the queen of rap, old Lady Gaga  run pop" in Gaga song

So why hasn't she scored a smash hit since 2011??? With "She can't complain" I meant if she stays this way and doesn't bring anything interesting to the game, she should not be surprised she doesn't slay the charts Never sad she complained out loud!!!

I would be here for that!!! Gaga used to have the swag and balls and now it seems as if she needs to grow a pair. Now she is afraid to do ANYTHING controversial and unorthodox.

It depends on who, but generally nah. 

It's not about her being above them, it's about her constantly trying to differentiate herself from them. Rihanna and Nicki come from different worlds, it's normal for rappers and urban artists to collaborate frequently.

I'd prefer Gaga to reach out more to more artists like Florence Welch rather than an artist like Ariana Grande. Gaga's brand is 'different', Gaga's brand is more outcast or rebellious. 

A collab with Nicki Minaj or Katy Perry doesn't help her brand, it tarnishes it. It's no shade to those artists either, again it's not about her being above them, it's just that she has built a career on being a different and non-conventional figure in pop music - collaborating with the hot acts of the moment doesn't reflect that brand.

Collaborations with lesser talent devalues your own product.
