Nope  they don't lip sync 

I imagine by then they won’t be able to move as well. Busted hip and kneecap jokes galore.

Don't bash MC. In her early age she slayed us with her voice!

She cried when they told her Joanne is #1 so she does care and it is perfectly normal that she cares. If she puts months and months of hard work into something, she wants it to be successful.

I just don't think she cares that much about making music videos, visuals in general as she did back in the day. Maybe not because she doesn't want to but because now she has SO MANY other things to worry about at the same time, while back then her only 'job' was to be Gaga all the time.

I agree. The question is if she will continue to do different stuff. I bet her disease limit her chance to do many different projects at the same time. Will she put her pop music career in the rear to focus on other projects or will she again focus more on her pop music career and will put the other projects on low flame?! I am curious how she will decide.

Music videos/youtube counting to bb 200 will not be a problem for gaga as long as she does time things right and doesn't release 15min  long videos. All her videos have been good to amazing, some like TEOG and MR was just more simple and could been better. She just need to release more of them and maybe a ft or standalone single with video like the cure during her album making breaks so it doesn't go 2-3 years of no videos then like 2 videos then another break.

I started talking about why she doesn't have as many views as we wish but it ended up being a long essay on every single era since applause so i put it in the spoiler below 

Spoiler

The main problem is lack of singles the last eras had leading to less music videos. We had 6 videos for the fame, 3 for TFM(only 8 songs) and 5 for BTW and she was good with streaming even though some videos gathered more attention then others. 

Applause was a great start for gagas comeback when it comes to videos and it gathered over 10million views first day. Unfornattelly the single was not promoted as big as her other leads and the song become a pretty local hit in the US while WW the song only become a moderate hit. So the video didn't became as big as it should have but it's views are still decent and it was the 43th most viewed video of 2013. The leak of the song and big competition from katy, blurred lines, miley etc didn't help either and it could been bigger released another time of the year or just like planed and no leak. 

With DWUW everything started to go wrong. BTS mess, troy leaving, no planed video/change from venus to DWUW, rushed video for the song ending up not released. DWUW could been one of her biggest hits and videos and the song was general more liked then applause WW. But after dec gaga went into one of her blackouts and the song died with no more push and no video. 

She came back later in 2014 with G.U.Y and the ARTPOP film, one of her best videos and shoot at hearst castle, i think one of the best locations she have had for a music video. But by then the era was already dead and dwuw had been of radio for months, The video had a great start with 7 million views first day but the views started to slow down fast, both for the fact that the song got no push from the label, no promo from gaga and radio barely played the song. G.U.Y as a single was also a risky choice and i think she could have chosse a better single for radio if she didn't have any plans to promote it. The video being 12min long and then having the short one released later didn't help the views.  Releasing the ARTPOP film during ARTPOP release week instead would been amazing. 

Then we had the jazz era, not really streaming material and the videos for that era was just studio videos, didn't help her vevo in any way, but didn't do any damage either. Atleast some pretty nice live peformances were added here like bang bang and imagine and people could see her vocal talent. We also had a video for TIHTY to you but it didn't had gaga in it and were more about raising awareness of the documentary and the issue then having commercial succes. Still a good addition to her vevo channel and i think we should always have something like this/the cure while we wait for a album and the old one is done on singles. The video has 40M right now, ok for an standalone track with no push except one oscar peformance. 

Then PI is also a real mess to her vevo account . The song was released what seemed like at a random date with nothing to really push it to the world. The song had a radio deal and gathered intresset since it was a new gaga release, the first pop one in almost 3 years but it got mixed reviews from both her fans, gp and critics. It didn't become the smash lead single we had hoped for like BR, Just dance, Born this way or even applause. By the time the video was released most of the hope for the song to become a big hit was already gone and the views showed that. It started with decent 7m first day views but i feel many fans didn't like it since it was so diffrent from other gaga videos with no big set or fashion like we were used to. The video could been a big it could been promoted in way like " New gaga video like you never seen here before!" She looked like any girl with just a t-shirt, ponytail and shorts. But instead it didn't get many views since the song was already doing bad ww and the video also have some lighting and movement effect that could annoy many people leading to people not watching it more then one time. I think the song and video could had a better chance if relased during vma week along with the song and then vma peformance just a days after.

MR had the trouble of not being an offical single from then start and lack radio deal like PI had. Radio didn't support it from the start since they weren't willing to play gaga as easy after the flop of PI and radios WW usually don't play a non lead single from the start unless the lead was a big hit. I feel like the world was waiting for US radios to pick the song up but they never really did until much later on. The song blow up on it own in contries like SW and italy though and become a hit there on it's own. The song also got much attention in US/canada thanks to SNL/Carpool/AMA's and other promo and sold alot of digital sales. But streaming was still a problem since it lacked playlist on servies like spotify so teens/younger adults who watch youtube the most didn't find the song as easy. The video was also really late and when the video got uploaded vevo already had one audio and 3 live peformances of the song spliting the views. When the biggest promo was done the video was still missing so instead giving the audio a boost, that's why the audio is almost at 70M right now. If the video was released with the song it could have been giving alot of views in 2016 already, geting close to 100M before the year eneded. 

When the video finally was out it recived major backlash from many fans for being to simple and just boring. So the usually hype of a new video with a star as big as gaga didn't happen and the views ended up being close to just 3-4m views while other videos like PI/applause/G.U.Y were closer to 10m. It didn't had the fans watching it multiply times leading to things like not treding on youtube or going in the watch next/reccomended spot so instead the views went down to like 1m daily for a few weeks before going down even more. 

After the video was out she stoped doing promo for the song to prepare the superbowl leading to another mini blackout. The song was still struggeling on US/can radio but it was still not yet dead. But since it didn't blow up in the US many other radio stations ww never even gave the song an chance to become big. The superbowl came and gave the major attention that gaga that she needed for people to discover her new music. All her songs blowed up the charts having most of the top 10 itunes but the songs with the biggest boost on youtube was br, pf and not MR. Many of the views also went to the audio since it was still the one with the most views and the first thing to come up when you searched for the song. MR become a a top 5 hit in the US and a radio hit but struggled still on youtube and streaming so only stayed top 10 for one week. WW it was already kind of to late for the song but atleast a few radio stations started to play the song helping it for a bit. 

But after the superbowl nothing really happend. She went on to another blackout until Coachella and released JW on apple music. But it never was a a single and most hardcore fans that would watch the video again and again during releas saw it on apple music and when it got to youtube most fans had already seen it. It got much smaller views then if debut happend on youtube and the video never got big, only with 25M+ views now an half year later. 

and then the cure and no video for that either and an unreadable lyric video 

If anyone ended up reading all this, thank you for reading this essay on Lady Gaga's youtube views 2013-2017 

So to summary my long story, she only needs a single that gets ww radio support along with great playlists on spotify etc with a good planed release with the video for her to have huge views again. Some promo to help people discover the song would also be great. Pretty much the reason why her views are so low right now are because every single since btw have had some problem to it and since her newer videos don't get that much attention her older stuff also lacks behind in views. One new big viral music video/hit from her and the views of br, pf, mr and others would also blow up. That's why rihana, katy, adele etc still get's alot of daily views on their old videos, those older videoes weren't really more popoular then gaga's videos but since they have had new viral videos after that, the old ones are starting to get alot more views in recent years, making gaga's whole youtube channel look small in views. Gaga might not be a streaming force right now but 1-2 singles could make her one again.

so you think a 15 min long video will get her as much views as 3 min one? Many people would think MR or Judas is to long with 1min opening, they just want to hear the song

In my opinion she should work with her old team.

Her old team wanted her to release Boys Boys Boys & Dance in the Dark as singles and submitted Judas to Record & Song of The Year instead of Born This Way and The Edge of Glory. Her old team overworked her AND made sh*t decisions. I'd rather have her current one which may make sh*t decisions but doesn't overwork her and has Gaga's health first in mind. Gaga's not our promo monkey that we can vicariously live our lives through.
