What I have an issue with Gaga's team is promotion. #2 Still I'm going to say when she performed in Dubai, the only record she was working on was Cheek to Cheek and it was a platinum certified Grammy winning success acclaimed by critics. Do you think he was talking about C2C? "Rat Boy's a nasty, trashy, sleazy, classless"- River Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way people viewed her changed during that album cycle. The fanbase was divided by the album. She was no longer seen as 'cool' by a lot of people. I think it didn't have that much to do with her album but the way she dressed. I mean the album was kinda positively reviewed by critics and audience alike, almost acclaimed, her fashion was however unappealing to the GP.

The record was a success but it did rumble the foundation of the "Gaga brand" in the eyes of the GP. She could of "bounced back" from the increasing dislike for her though but there were too many things working against her at the point that were out of her hands.

The tour will help it push past 1.5 m WW as well. All in all this era has been good so far.. MR being stretched out over a 6 month period really helped repair her image They flopped because she didn't push... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she took a different approach to the visual/marketing side of things who knows how things would have turned out.

Agreed. Jimmy seems to have his time frames messed up because C2C is an unarguably successful album and era for Gaga. In my opinion it's success trumps ARTPOP's (though I love ARTPOP personally but objectively speaking C2C was a career changing successful era).

The Dubai thing is pretty specific. I mean what other big star who fits the profile could he be talking about?

What other artist was considered massively successful, was signed to Interscope, had commitments that would be valued at up to 50 million dollars (as he mentioned on the interview) and later on "under performed" in his opinion? I literally can't think of anyone else. The Dubai thing is also specific. I think Gaga is the only massive artist signed to Interscope to have toured there fairly recently. I think he has his time frames way off but his examples and stuff are just too specific for them to be anyone other than Gaga at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some parts of ARTPOP were also made on the road but most songs were made after her hip injury. Americano, Highway Unicorn (Road to Love), Marry the Night were recorded on her studio bus and the writing process of other songs happened on the road. Half the album was created before this She re-recorded and slightly re-wrote, yes, but the majority of songs existed before then. Aura (Burqa) G.U.Y. Sex(xx) Dreams Jewels N Drugs MANiCURE DWUW ARTPOP Donatella MJH Gypsy Applause + more (Partynauseous, Temple, Tea, Onion Girl, Tinnitus etc) all existed in some form (at least concept demos) before this point I know this is off topic but just wanted to make that clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The label's best-selling artists include Eminem, U2, and Lady Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
