Madonna (Music, Hung Up, Don't Tell Me, Ray of Light, Frozen, and so on) and Cher too. If they can do it, so can Gaga. Also, Gaga can still re-peak. Madonna was 40 when Ray of Light came out.

Ariana and Shawn gained prominence because of their youthful looks, and kids run the charts these days, not adults. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum 5,164 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 People why these meltdowns? If Gaga retained her past persona she would definitely end her days in 2013. She had to change. She earned respect. And... Excuse me but Lemonade is an overrated album. No hits, just good strategy & marketing. They elevated Beyonce to the kingdom of icons and we ate it up from the press 24/7. That's why she got that praise. Gaga is definitely far away from being a legacy artist. I think her next effort will be the return to prominence. Mariah, Madonna, Cher etc. rebounced with huge albums in their mid 30's - 40's. SBHTS gave her everything she needed to know about how to move on from now on. We will learn asap ASIB ends. End of story. Let's hug now. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga will definitely release music, but without it girl status and radio play it'll be hard to get a ton of top 5 hits. I mean Madonna was played at 50 with 4 Minutes and throughout her 40s "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids run the charts, and the adult audience who buys music gets smaller, as does the percentage of the Hot 100 affected by sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but neither will: Madonna, Britney, Mariah, Celine, J.Lo, Cher, etc. etc. Beyonce's singles don't even go top 10 anymore, Rihanna's down, Katy is just.......... Anyways, It's a different time and I think looking at this list says a lot about whether it's the artist or the state of the industry. Gaga is cemented as a pop culture icon through and through.

And when digital sales became the leading force in music, the icons of the past medium needed to figure out how the new one needs to be handled. It has always been that way. Right now we are in a time like 2006-2008 when pop was on a huge low and **** needed to be figured out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How pessimistic.. the half time show was clearly the beginning of the "We love her again" era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but as a stan who lived through the ARTPOP era I'm extremely skeptical. I've been jolted by the GP one too many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 just enjoy what she does, or not. People need to quit obsessing about her "pop power" or "relevance" or any of that bullshit. Just goes to prove that Gaga was right when she said "**** pop music." The industry and fans are too superficial. When you find yourself on the same side as the business side of an art form and wanting commercial success as much as the labels, then you are playing right into the industries fingers. You are their perfect customer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
