Nothing wrong with writing on the road, but i agree with him that the recording of an album needs focused attention.

No reason to be sensitive over what is good advice. 

Good albums including Joanne ... as a collection of songs come together quite nicely as most of the songs were developed in a continuous stretch of several months. BTW and ARTPOP, while solid albums with some really good songs didn't quite have the same cohesiveness.

this isn't about gaga. she didn't make ARTPOP on the road...she spent forever on it during a break. How can y'all forget that. Born THis Way was made on the road and it was a huge success.

Joanne wasn’t made on the road ctfu :air: 

also that album exceeded by far probably even interscopes expectations based on the dire performance of Perfect Illusion

Where is the shade ? Jimmy Iovine loves Gaga and is one of the reasons (if not the sole reason) that Gaga is still going STRONG.


She went against her label and her manager in 2013.  If it wasn't for Jimmy believing and loving Gaga, they could've ruined her.  Instead, they believed her, they were on her side when she wanted to split with Troy and so on. 

 

And ARTPOP is a catastrophe.  Not that much in the sense that it didn't sell well or that it didn't havea hit, but moreso that it was that huge BUMP in Gaga's career that everybody talked about. 

Gaga could have been seen as Beyonce level right now, but she isn't.  And it's solely because of ARTPOP. 


To conclude, Gaga recently sang at Jimmy's wedding etc.  they are still in great terms and it should remain like that, because Jimmy is one of the most important people in the music industry.

Yes and I distinctly remember when he was an American Idol judge - he convinced one of the contestants to cover You and I before the album was even realeased. He obviously believes in Gaga. 

He's also with Apple now, a huge supporter of Joanne with the Apple Music ad and the rumored Apple Music exclusive (until her record pulled the plug on all exclusives thanks to Frank Ocean)

Stop dragging him please. It's embarrassing. This man did a lot for Gaga's career and what he said was sensible. 

It doesn't matter if it's Gaga or not, but sometimes she needs to listen to people who constructively criticizes her. Part of me believes that where Gaga now is is the result of being surrounded by people who are yes-men. Thet thought they all could do it on their own, but maintaining a megastar is a collaborative effort, not just doing what you want.

So Joanne was a disaster? Most non-fanatical little monsters said that from the beginning. :emma:

 Why is it a surprise that an industry person is saying it?:lana:

He is not say anything about her talent. He knows she is talented. He is talking about a rushed album made on the road by a super talented superstar. 

Joanne wasn't written on the road. You know that. 

The album wasn't rushed and it wasn't made on the road. If he was referring to Gaga, it was in reference to BTW.

I said 'he is as relevant' implying his current status in the record industry. I'm very well aware of his written and produced songs last decade (lol) 

Timbaland and Dr Luke were also very influential producers and impactful in the music industry. Would me questioning their current relevancy mean I'm completely disregarding what they achieved in the past?

Ok.... then I'm even more confused by what you're trying to say. Are you shading him or not? And to answer your question, yes. Questioning someone's relevancy does disregard what they've done in the past cause you're saying it doesn't matter anymore. All those producers have impacted the way pop music sounds today. You'd feel the same if someone brushed off gaga as irrelevant

BUT HE IS 100% CORRECT...after ARTPOP Gaga was NEVER THE SAME...and right now its like she is slowly recovering from that injury of that era... what he is saying about the behind the scenes of the music business is really making sense. if people can buy Beyonce who in my opion is same level Gaga in creativity and talent (different directions of ocurse) they surely can buy Gaga. theres a whole list of decisions that affect how an album rolls out.. if i was Gagas mananger i would also not have let her do ARTPOP as a complete era, as a delux edition,yeah sure.
