Do You Think Expectations Are Lower This Time? If So, Is That A Good Thing?

The lower the hype the better the performance, i.e. the sound of music performance and the national anthem

That's true, and maybe the lack of promo and performances have made it feel stagnant, but maybe the Superbowl and what comes afterwards will reignite everything for me 

Honestly, I believe the SB is a great strategic move for her. She knew going into this era that it wasn't going to be the most popular or most widely expected. She even mentioned in previous interviews that she didn't want to make this album "radio friendly" or "trendy". Using the SuperBowl to really kickstart this era would be amazing.

 yes, it's better that way and i think some people will be disappointed..they're expecting gaga from 2010 to perform and obviously gaga is not the same person anymore, she's evolved , i think the show will be very Joanne

Do you think if we have lower expectations overall that we have a better chance to enjoy it?

definitely yes... it's always better to expect less than "too much"

I feel we will still be surprised though... We should trust Gaga, she is know for her amazing shows so, even if this era has been very different, she'll still slay

I will cry from nostalgia (cause nostalgia are for geeks) if I see her old imagery. 

The bubble pianos, the geometric dresses, the bangs and the hair, the deadly heels, mechanical things or anything Gaga and her avant garde theater self. 

I hope to see a bit of that in there and Joanne hat will join in the lot.

Also, let's just mention the elephant in the room. A lot of why people may not seem as excited this time is because of the MR video. People expected more, and they didn't get that. 

true... If the video wasn't that disappointing I would still have so much faith and I wouldn't be scared at all 

[Teri Hatcher 2,053]

my expectations are at -5% and so is my hype for it. I'm just like rn "oh okay lets see what she'll do" 

 

The album is GREAT but I'm not really expecting much at the Super Bowl because like lmao meh idk 

[Lucas 28,677]

Of course. Having low expectations is almost always an insurance to not get disappointed!

[Delusional Aura 5,129]

It can't get any lower than it is right now following the MR mv (I'm still pressed).

Thank god tbh, the hyope for Gaga has always been surreal and it was that factor that got us on the edge of the seat and craving for knowing and following her. Thank god things don't work like that anymore, cause i want to have a life and some others here do too. Though she used to deliver.

Anyways, i know she still has it in ha. I've understood that she's not as incredible as i made her to be, it's sad but the spell has been lifted, but i tell you, girl, if she gives us that drive that makes me remember those days and how she is important in my life, oh boy we're back.

She doesn't need to gain the General Public, she needs to get back with us. But first i hope she's a bit less down in the damps. Sorry but i'm here for Gaga going hard for it, hope she shows that awkward side of her and does something way crazy while giving us that fantasy

ARTPOP and now Joanne made me have zero expectations. If anything i expect her to cancel the suberbowl lol

[RochesterJoannster 3,607]

Musically: My expectations are as high as ever. I've loved each album more than the one before it, and as of now Joanne is my ultimate favorite.  But that could all change with the next album!

Commercially: I don't expect her ever to regain her status from 2010, nor do I want her to. 

[QueenTam 311]

I don't know, I am hyped up and I think the GP is expecting SOMETHING HUGE.

Literally every media platform reported that Gaga is going to sing on the roof, I think people are expecting something big like this

[The Fame Joanne 5,985]

I'm happy with BR and no guitar. So I will probably be disappointed

I saw her perform her biggest hits millions of times before, so I am not that excited. Like...wow, yet another Bad Romance performance. Definitely didn't see that one before! So it's like whatever I'm not hyped but it would be nice if it helped her commercially

 I feel the same  Today I'm not excited but curious for 3 things: SB51, Joanne's Tour aesthetic and LG6
