Is Gaga's team too calculated?

[Battle 4 Ur Life 6,721]

lol

LMAO, PLEASE FAM! @Jester  

Most of us have been waiting for her new management team since Troy bailed in 2013 to act up cos they have all been pretty lax and messy.  

Gaga's team were calculative since the beginning. Why do you think all of the past campaigns from The Fame era to Born This Way era were so successful and took her to this superstardom? You cannot be famous just by your sheer talent alone, fam. You also need to calculate how to sell it to the masses.  

So it is actually good they seem to back to get their groove on now tbh

I attribute her disdain for doing features on her artistic integrity. It's crazy that all 14 of her Top 10's on Billboard are lead songs by her. Many artists easily pass her number of hits because they do features and I don't see why a Calvin, DJ Snake, or Zedd feature would hurt on an off year (2012, 2015, late 2017/early 2018 etc) but she clearly doesn't like the idea of features.

I think it’s because there’s less control and she’s very used to being the boss. Not a bad thing just a thing.

I think they're doing just fine.  I think the real issue is her fans being too impatient and greedy.

i think Gaga chooses what is being released, because she is in charge most of the time. and i think she is just has very high standards

yes, considering the release of live performances, I think we have had plenty of juicy stuff being released, like The Cure at the AMA's, the recent Lush Life performance, very raw (even the mic hiss thrilled me) ... Plus there is so much hype already considering all that we know about the future. Why don't we just enjoy the summer and listen to the other artist in this world instead of greed over one single one ? (sorry to insist)

'Gaga is constantly working on new music that's often super trendy and ready for releasing, but it just never happens.'

Apart from The Cure, since when has Gaga made trendy music?

And Gaga has consistently put out albums over the last decade, she took reasonable breaks in between but never for too long, in fact she hasn't gone on a musical hiatus before. She's always been active in the industry, working on something, so I don't see what you're complaining.

The only thing she doesn't do which everybody else does is do features in between eras. I mean we all don't want her to be the new Nicki Minaj, who puts out like 30 songs in a single year.

You have to know that Nicki wants to stay relevant and popular at all times and she doesn't care if some of her songs flop as long as one or two of them grabs some attention. Gaga is not the same, Gaga has strong artistic integrity and she wants every song she puts out to be perfect, to have a strong identity (she even said she doesn't like doing features where the artists record their vocals separately and send them to each other, she wants all the artists to write music in the same room and interact with each other), and that's why she only puts out quality music where every track of hers is a gold gem.

In fact, the fact that she has such a meticulous personality makes everything she does so well-crafted and worthy of attention.

Her team is very relaxed compared to the pre-2013 one. She's the one who's too calculated, changing idea after idea because she's a perfectionist and wants things to be just like how she envisioned them.

[socotra 3,329]

I definitely think one of her weaknesses is simply the lack of music she puts out. I understand her and her team might be weary of overexposure, but in trying to avoid that, I think they've gone in the opposite direction and taken her too far from the spotlight.

It appears that since Born This Way, she's been releasing albums in roughly 3 year intervals (excluding C2C). I honestly think she'd benefit from throwing up material, seeing what sticks, and taking a chance on some of her stuff. I felt like Joanne, while I thoroughly enjoyed it, was a very conservative follow-up to ARTPOP. 

While her team might've been messy for the ARTPOP era, I really don't think that was the case for TF through BTW, and Joanne had virtually no hiccups (biggest thing I can think of is switching A-YO for Million Reasons as the second single, and that was definitely the right call). 

tl;dr - she should release more material

Maybe "too calculated" wasn't the right way to put it, but I think you all can see what I meant...
