That doesn't mean to say that the charts don't have quality songs on them, but people aren't actively searching out quality and analysing things when they listen to the radio and so on, if they like a song for whichever reason then that's that You can work extremely hard and not land anywhere in the top 1000 or you can basically have everyone do it for you and get a top 5, it's just the reality of the charts and I think after the fickle and unpredictable nature of it is accepted and gotten over then mentally and emotionally we're already in a much better place We stop giving importance to it and getting upset/angry over it. If something we like performs well then yes it does feel good and it's great to celebrate, but getting down over percieved underperformance doesn't do anyone any good or help anything either All we can hope for is that Gaga continues making music that she wants and that she's enjoying herself and that what she releases falls in line with what we enjoy as well because then it's even better for us If other people are liking it enough to make it a smash then that's awesome, but if not then whatever, we're still getting the music at the end of the day It seriously pisses me off that Gaga is disrespected, called a fad and only experienced 2008-2011 making legitimate hits. It hurts a lot when other fanbases make fun of us because there's no receipts anymore. I can't use singles, albums, critical acclaim. It's all just my opinion. It's terrible.

Actually, 1) there is no evidence that Gaga works harder than other people, or that all her peers don't put in the hours that she does; that's just your bias because you follow her every move, and 2) people do not judge music quality according to the charts. No one thought higher of the Black Eyed Peas because of their string of hits. Again, just seems to me that the people who want Gaga to have massive hits are just trying to live vicariously through her success because of some sort of weird self-validation kick. Not everyone shares your taste, or needs to. Gaga's massively successful and will continue to be, #1 or not. Beyonce says hi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bragging rights aren't worth the worry. In the grander scheme of things it doesn't mean anything.

It's terrible. your own opinion is all that matters anyway. Everything else is just stupid stan war bullshit. You want to quit worrying about how Gaga is respected or what other fanbases say? Don't participate and recognize that it all stems from a childish need for validation from people that aren't strong enough in their own selves.

People here can try the argument that the music just isn't good, but please, what Gaga produces is at least better than most of the unimaginative dreck that floods the charts. the sheer number of GGD users that claim that if Gaga releases "good" music she'd be popular just points out how many fans are really the "GP" in disguise in terms of their music taste.

Okay no offense, but if you need to censor names of pop songs I think you need to get your priorities fixed.

It's like the tenth time this has happened. ask yourself why it is so important to you to be considered "cool." Gaga never intended to appeal to the "cool" kids anyway. I'm assuming you are young...eventually you will grow up and realize how banal all the drama about pop stars is in terms of the real world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
