Transition vs Proper Goodbye

[Twitter 14]

Based off all of Lady Gaga’s eras. Do you like when Gaga transitions from one era to the next? Or do you like when Gaga gives a proper goodbye and not knowing what’s coming next? 

Transition Example: 

Proper Goodbye Example:

I like it when the line gets blurred, it is funner

So I prefer the former than latter.

The transition goodbyes were cool, it’s nice to see her style evolving and knowing a new era is about to begin

I’ll never ever forget the end of the ARTPOP era, I cried so much cause it was such a rough year for both Gaga & me. I almost felt like I could relate to her so ending this era in Paris (where I happen to live) was such a great coincidence. 

Anyways, ARTPOP has one thing the other eras don’t, it has a perfect ending.

i prefer the goodbye

i can see why transitions can be appealing cus it means the train never stops but the train has to run out of fuel at some point  

anyway, the Joanne MV made me cry because it was the perfect goodbye. it's been one of gaga's healthiest eras in terms of drama with only a few hiccups and i had great almost 2 years

ugh, i miss the Joanne era so much, the excitement that PI brought  it's like DRUGS

Transition I think. It feels more organic and non GMO to me.

This. I cried when I watched the last few minutes of the ARTPOP ball in Paris

I prefer proper goodbyes.

I still can't say if the meat dress belongs to the TFM or BTW era

But I'd say that one doesn't exclude the other. For example, it's obvious that ARTPOP had  a proper goodbye in the very precise moment you said there. But at the same time it'd make no sense to say that there wasn't a transition towards CTC, because she stated wearing the black curly wigs, etc. And when the ARTPOP era finished the album was already released so there were some months of superposition of one and another.

Regarding the question honestly I don't care, both have its good things. However, I don't think she'll be able to do two eras back to back anymore with no rest in between

As @Andreu said, transitions are the majority so far in Gaga’s record, with the most isolated being Joanne. TF transitioned into TFM which went into BTW.

ARTPOP started on its own, but it can be argued that the BTWB was a starting transition. Obviously ARTPOP had an explicit goodbye, but also melded with C2C very heavily. Even that transitioned into the tribute/AHS/TIHTY phase.

I think Joanne might have been the first complete start and finish. It felt very different, but in a good way. Very complete.

Yeah, me too. I personally say that the Meat Dress/VMA’s 2010 night was the exact moment of intersection.
