Monsterious 26,867 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 when we say Lady Gaga we somehow think about the outrageous videos and the epic looks that she serves in, what about now? since 2013, Miss lady gaga seem to have lost the appétit to shoot or even to manage their release here is a recap : - way before 2013, the video for The Edge Of Glory is truly a disappointing move coming for her compared to her previous ones, the original video was scrapped because of a misunderstanding between Gaga and her dancers -2013 maybe the most painful tragic event that ever happenned to the little monsters: the DWUW music video, DWUW had E V E R Y T H I N G to be a hit, but unfortunatly due to the "shoking" contenant of the video, Gaga and her team decided to scrap the video (daily reminder that DWUW peaked at #13 on the BBH100) -2014 the release of the ARTPOP film out of nowhere: yes the visuals were gorgeous and it grouped 3 of the best songs of the album, but why ? it has like no meaning after months of no promotion and the album was already dead in the charts, the video performed poorly on youtube, the "single" GUY came up too late in the video and appareantly it was VERY expensive and Gaga herself had to pay it. -2016 the release of Perfect Illusion & Million Reasons : both of the videos came up VERY late, (PI would have been a top 10 single if she released the video the same day as the song especially that the video was already shot), lets not talk about the hype around Million Reasons when she said that a surprise was coming and when it came out... we know the story #Meltdowns lets not forget that these 2 music videos are considered as the worst visuals of ther videography (Million Reasons is obviously #1) -2017 the release out of nowhere of "John Wayne": it was truly TRAGIC, well the song was not the best choice especially after the super bowl and all what she build with Million Reasons (joanne the song would have been so much better), the exclusiveness on Apple music leaded to the leak of the video all over twitter & facebook, a lot of fans diddnt have the acces to AM so they went on twitter searching for it illegaly, 2 days after and when the hype was dead they released it on Youtube... conclusion ? 20M views ONLY in months for that cute music video -2017 the lost hit "The Cure" : what did happen ?? the song went immediatly #1 on itunes and stayed there for days, it opened with good numbers, was a moderate hit in the UK & AUS but W H Y ? a music video was really needful for this kind of situations in the US, i undrestand that she doesnt want to promot it or whatever but come on a music video is the LEAST she can do for a single. do you think that Gaga lost her magic with music videos or its just a matter of time ? discuss below Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,479 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yes. She has lost her flair for MV visuals and her team do not know how to edit. John Wayne was an attempt at trying to capture oldGa's visual essence but it did not completely deliver. It still had poor editing and even some bad scene sequences, angles and point of view shots which surprise me because the director is usually top notch. Also the fact that we only got 5 pop music videos in almost 6 years also indicates that Gaga herself has lost her taste for music videos. Maybe it can get re ignited? Maybe she only likes making great interludes for tours now? idk...but receipts don't lie and her visual game is just slipping through out the years. Her music is still great, her live skills keep getting better (vocal wise) and she is on her way to legendary status but those visuals...girl...

babs 5,093 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I feel like she just doesn't have the motivation to be a pop superstar anymore. otherwise her own itch would make her go for promo. I mean you just did the superbowl and then allowed your momentum to die. What's up woman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga Lazuli 8,654 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 She didnt lost the magic she just needs a new team that tells her whats wrong and right not a team that say yes to everything just cause theyre close friends.

JustaMonster 4,909 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah, I think she just doesnt have the drive to make big MVs and have good promo. Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 JW video was flawless. Her best in years. She needs a team who has the guts to tell her when she's wrong, when she's making a mistake, a team that chooses the right singles etc. Do you think her old team would've let her release MR video? I think the **** not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delulu Rogers 7,251 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I don't think she wants to be famous anymore. I feel like she released Joanne cause her contract says she has X amount of albums to release. Hence why Joanne took so long to come out, why it's not pop or radio-friendly, the lack of singles, lack of promo, lack of visuals and the overall negligence of the era. She does need a better team and as awful as Troy was to her, he did know the difference between good and bad career moves. On a side note, I think Troy and her old team was the force behind her creative side too. Ever since their split Gaga has yet to have any creative, theatrical, shocking moments but hopefully she'll prove me wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I hate this "her new team is letting sh*t slide through" attitude because it implies that her current team are some set of newbies that have no idea what they're doing, when in reality, everybody that is currently working for Gaga, has worked for her since 2008/2009. The only diffrence is that the people who left Gaga's team were either toxic assholes (Boomkack, Troy) or wanted to pursue their own happiness rather than Gaga's (Nicola). She has mentioned several times that her team is actually really strict on her, Zedd also mentioned in one of his interviews that it was strange adjusting to Gaga's way of working, because on the one hand he was so thankful for her being responsible for his record deal at Interscope but she did not want to be showered in compliments and he had to straight on tell her "that was a sh*t take gaga, do it again." If anything, she just struggles with the weight and expectations her fans put on her, every video is supposed to be the new Bad Romance, but when the consensus comes to the conclusion that it is not, it's a steaming piece of garbage that everyone while sh*t on for the rest of times. Like.... Gaga's "bad" videos are better than some other artist's "great" videos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion its what Gaga was going through that made her change the whole concept of the "original LG5" as deusional fans call it. I kinda agree in that she seems suffocated by all the fame she accumulated. The fame Monster truly went after her. And yes I agree that she needs a new team. The old Gaga is still there she just needs to be pushed in my opinion. Little Monsters Torture Me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
