Was Joanne made for the SuperBowl?

[Stef 60,763]

I still cackle at how Gaga told us that the SuperBowl execs gave her the slot once they heard the album, and then she paid absolute ****ing dust to it except for MR  

Like, no sis, they gave u the slot because ur the rah rah bitch xxx

Not when she only played one song from it and acted like the lead single never existed  

And Perfect Illusion would've been such a fun song for the Super Bowl...

Except half of the time, Gaga's struggling so hard to hit those banshee-wailing notes when singing it live

You say you don't want to enforce stereotypes, but you fail to explain what was so "gay" about Katy's performance.

also how was her performance gayer than Gaga's, when Gaga sang "no matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life" and Katy did nothing obviously gay?

Still mad how Perfect Illusion, a stadium anthem, got snubbed.

I get why it's a "stadium anthem" but the Super Bowl isn't just a live performance it's a televised one, and therefore It's less about the live experience and more about vocals visuals and choreo. PI would have been boring to watch on TV and also she doesn't sound super pleasant singing it live, sorry but it's the truth

Not speaking for the OP but my opinion is . Gaga's halftime was more "epic", with space towers and metal and explosions and fire. Katy's was more colorful, bubbly, girly, and "gay". I think that's what he meant

I wouldn't say Katy was gay...more like family friendly with all the vibrant colors and fun costumes. Family friendly is definitely something the SB would want. And all the straights thinks shes hot.

The SB surely cares about the artist's image. Joanne shows Gaga was going to market herself as a country pop white girl, which I'm sure the SB execs would love and prefer over something like ARTPOPGa or whatever image and sound she was going with on the RedOne album.

I edited my post to clarify more of what I meant: she made Joanne to get the performance slot for the SuperBowl, not to play at the SuperBowl. She played all of her biggest hits at the SB (besides MR), and they all happened to be RedOne produced.

Her changing her mind and scrapping the RedOne album last minute just because she wanted to do something different is also believable, I agree. It's just the possible Frankenstined single is making me revisit the idea of Joanne being made to get the SBHT slot.

Oh I know what you meant, but it would be odd to make an entire album to secure a performance spot but then only perform one song from it, ya know? I see where you are coming from, I just think it might be a reach and that the NFL had their eyes on Gaga after her rendition of the National Anthem the year before. People actually talked positively about the anthem performance which is a first in awhile for those performances lol Plus, the availability of other pop stars was slim when they chose Gaga so I think a lot of disparate circumstances just came together for it to happen. I don't think this is a case of Gaga being calculated, though she certainly can be.

I do not enforce stereotypes but we can't deny they do exist, unfortunately.
