Are you trolling? :huh:

Barbra, Cher and Celine have had careers that have spanned DECADES, Gaga wishes she could achieve 50% of their success.

Cher was getting a #1 on the Hot 100 in her 50s. Celine is effortlessly outselling Gaga with her last French album. Barbra's album from 2014 has outsold Gaga's past 3 albums in the US. 

"I don't want Gaga to be a legacy act."

Then you have a big storm coming :poot:

No, I am not trolling, I just think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. 

The music industry is drastically different than it was 10 years, especially almost 20 years ago...like when Cher had her last hit, back in 1999. And again, this is not tearing down any of their successes. But as someone else on here pointed out just hours ago, there is a difference between a Cher legacy act and a Madonna legacy act. Madonna remained relevant and commercial almost her entire career (up until recently anyway :selena: ). Whatever happens with Gaga's career, I will support her, but as a person who is allowed to express his personal desire for what he would like to see from Gaga, it would be nice if she could continue to innovate, be commercial and put out continued high quality music versus performing the same 10 songs over and over until she is 50 years old.

Yes, their albums have sold a ton because they have had careers that have spanned decades and decades. Gaga has not. The point I was making is it occasionally feels like she might be sliding into a legacy act when she hasn't finished making her legacy. Cher didn't just have a ten year run :laughga:

If BloodPop could make this song 10x better I have hope for what he can do for Gaga

 

I disagree. The original has a certain industrial, cinematic, melodramatic, in-your-face quality that fits so well lol

ya 1989 came after but makes me more excited if she was actively pissed and trying to create THAT album lmao the ambition yass

look what they made ha do :firega: and Gaga next :sis:

yeah I think she mentioned it actually! she said not winning Red sort of made her think about pushing herself some more or something like that. Hope it has the same effect on Gaga :firega:

I might sound desperate, but i would not mind if bieber was feature on that bloodpop collab, that guy has more youtube views on all his collabs outside his channel then gagas whole vevo :sharon:
Would be amazing to help her streaming power before LG6 :lolly:

I would say yes but tbh it might feel a little desperate. Gaga might benefit from a Cardi B or different Dj collabs instead. A collab with such a youngster like JB might seem a little too offbrand and maybe even desperate or something sadly : /

What are everyone’s predictions for LG6? Like, let’s be realistic and not just post what we want, post what seems plausible based on her career thus far. 

I think more or less the same as Joanne commercially. 

I think the album will go Gold in pure sales and maybe platinum if there are enough singles/mvs for those streams. However I don't think she will dominate radio or spotify. I think we will get a top 15 hit but no top 5s. The industry has changed drastically and I think it will only get harder for Gaga to have smash hits. However I do think the era will be successful as a whole.

I am just kind of concerned with whether or not it's going to be the type of commercial material we are all hoping for. Even if you take the sales and charts aspect out of it, part of me just feels like she is setting herself up to be a Legacy act of some kind, like Cher/Elton/Streisand etc. And that sorta makes me sad because she is only 10 years into her career. Beyonce doesn't rule the charts, but she is still fresh and relevant, you know?

I just hope LG6 has the same level of wow factor and innovation that I have come to expect from her work. The Cure, while it is a decent song, IMO doesn't reflect the quality of her earlier material. If the music blows me away, I don't really care about promo. She can sit on a couch with Christian and just CHILL.

Yeah I absolutely agree and get what you mean. She needs a few more hits to add to her catalog. She can't rely on the hits she has now forever. It would make her feel like a legacy act. I just hope her team has a grand plan...all she needs is a few Applause sized hits here and there. Expecting #1s is a bit of a stretch I think. Like I LOVE your positivity @ryanripley but to think that Gaga can have a Havana sized hit now a days even if she releases a bop banger is a little bit of a well intentioned stretch. We need to keep our expectations a little lower when it comes to the singles front don't you think? Gaga has been there and done that but a #1 on the Hot 100... It seems so un attainable right now... :/ More top 15/10 hits? That is deff possible though!

she needs to bring visuals for lg6, great music videos (jwt interludes, yesterday's fashion were steps in the right direction) and she needs to solidify her upcoming legend status with more ww hits tbh. yeah we get it she is an extremely talented vocalist but people will soon get tired of her if the only songs she's singing/being remembered for are all 2008-2011 (7 years old already).  

I hope so. Her visual game is probably the only thing I am really disappointed in simply because I know she still has it in her. Hopefully since the new era/album might have some more pure pop songs that we might get visuals to match.

You're 100% right on the last part.

That being said, I think you have the wrong impression about Barbra, Celine and Cher's careers. I would rather see Gaga following the footsteps of the women above than Madonna.

I really hope the Bloodpop collab is credited as "Bloodpop & Lady Gaga" since everyone is taking equal billings now a days!

I just don't want Gaga's album being sold for 4.99 next to the register at Walgreens :selena:

Tbh top 15 only for gagas lead is very low expectations. The Cure stayed 1 on itunes for a whole week but it lacked the full week to debut any higher. PI also would have gone top 10 pretty much any week expect the one it was released, it was very crowded that week. 

If the song is liked  (MR, the cure) and debuts with video and radio deals like leads usual have then i see it debuting as high as top 5. I just hope it will have longitivity like MR but if radio keeps supporting it then it should be fine. Also the lead should have MR kind of promo instead of nothing like PI.

I genuinely believe she’s working on radio friendly music. Specifically because they need to have something new to promote and use for her residency shows, so yeah.

We can only guess, but it would be nice tho, I don't think you need anything more to prove for Vegas residency, it's like cemented your legend status and capability to sell tours and attract people, so she does not really anything for Vegas promo, but it would be a nice for her fans and her expose as well :)

If that's the case then I truly have no idea what the timing will be. If she wants to release a full length album and promote and carry out an entire era before ASIB is released, she needs to release pretty much now. If she waits until late spring/summer, the era will be immediately cut short by ASIB, which I'm sure they plan on launching at least one single from in September. 

On the other hand, if they have nothing planned until ASIB the "blackout" could really hurt her. Meanwhile, by the time LG6 is released in 2019, it will most likely sound dated. It's just a mess with ASIB. Either LG6 era will be cut short or we'll have nothing till September.

ASIB is making the LG6 era scheludle messy, but we don't even know yet how much they will push the soundtrack. Maybe there won't even be any push for a single from it and she will just keep promoting LG6 singles even though ASIB get's released.
