shoful 13,304 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yes she was meant to create explosive experimental orgasmic music like the ARTPOP album! Anyone who says that isn’t her best and most inspired album can FIGHT ME! "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCpro 14,846 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I disagree. Her ballads are amazing, but so are her pop bops. Are y’all forgetting about Bad Romance, Scheiße, Alejandro, Sexxx Dreams etc, all of which are bops and also genuinely good songs. Also the way its looking now is that LG6 will be VERY electronic/pop, so don’t get too comfy 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlejandroooO 515 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Her ballads are good but not even close to Bad Romance and Born This Way. She also lost a lot of creativity doing mostly some boring ballads as some of them are great some are boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,127 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I get what you are saying and respect your opinion, but I disagree to an extent. Pop Bops & Ballads are so different. They are from both sides of the spectrum. Gaga does both very well. Pop Bops is what won her awards, and made her known as the wild and crazy pop star who can write clever and catchy lyrics. Now that she showcased she can do Pop well,it shows now that she can do ballads very well. If it weren’t for the pop Bops, you truly wouldn’t be able to see just how AMAZING she is at ballads. It gave us (and the public) a better insight on what she truly is capable of. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% appreciate her more for taking control of her own career and doing what she WANTS to do rather than what her fans THINK she should do. If she spends her life making others happy at the expense of her own then she would be wasting her life. I enjoy what she is doing now and respect her for putting her own interests first, it really inspires me to do the same This post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILENT HILL 1,715 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks Gaga's past pop records don’t consist of “Basic Pop songs.” I’m so confused on why some of y’all are comparing these ASIB pop songs that were meant to sound basic to her past discography. I fell in love with her because she was daring and different, and not because she did basic pop music. She made her own version of pop that always kept people wondering what she would do next.

This, if you can listen to something like Born This Way (Government Hooker, Electric Chapel, Bloody Mary etc.) and use a term like "basic pop songs," then girl... "Electronic" does not equate to "basic." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 8,994 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 22 hours ago, OG Gaga Stan said: Oh, so now we’re out here claiming that Gaga really should just abandon pop music and that she wasn’t ever really meant to do that anyway? That she’s not really all that talented at it and should make more music like what’s on the soundtrack, all of which is... pop music? You young fans... I can’t with you all pretending that 1) you don’t actually want pop music from the woman you started loving for her pop music, 2) that ballads are not, in fact, pop music or are somehow inherently more high-brow or have some sort of depth that a dance song supposedly cant have. It’s sad that you’ve embraced the elitist, superficial, dismissive attitude towards pop music that Gaga has been fighting against her whole career just because Gaga’s been in ONE movie. It’s almost like you never understood her as an artist at all, this entire time... Pop music will never be low brow, hunties. 13 hours ago, OG Gaga Stan said: I'm sorry... I just have to comment again. This is, hands down, the most ridiculous thread I've ever seen in my entire time on this cult site. Gaga gets a taste of massive mainstream success again and you all abandon everything she stands for, begging her to make big, cheesy 1990's ballads for the rest of her career while discrediting all of the experimental, challenging, intelligent, radical work she's produced over the course of her career? The work that changed the face of the music industry for a decade? That garnered her three Album of the Year nominations? That helped change the way the public perceived queer people and women? That intentionally subverted pop clichés, filtering normative conventions through a postmodern lens? We're just going to dismiss all of that work as the superficial musings of an immature party girl, in the service of some old-fashioned ballads that echo countless other artists that came before Gaga? I just... Damn, sis. First of all, I'll start by saying I'm 27 years-old and have been a fan since the first time I heard Just Dance on a reality tv show in 2008. Age and "OG stan" status have nothing to do with this. YOU are succumbing to the biggest "Gaga sin" - not allowing her to change, shift, and be reborn because you're stuck in the past. Yes, we fell in love with her because of the pop music that subverted cliché and shifted radio. She utilized new technology, basically reinvented music videos and brought new life into award shows. Yes, yes, yes. This was how her career started, and continued for years. BUT, these same principles are ultimately led her to physical and mental health failure, depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. Enigma is shaping up to be a big pop show, but let's not forget that Gaga has also moved on to jazz, country, acting (and now Broadway) in order to seek fulfillment from what pop music didn't give her. She needed to move on, and is still taking on non-pop projects to fulfill her. Calling this a "taste" of mainstream success is honestly underplaying it. She's getting acclaim and praise like NEVER before, and seems the most purposeful and self-aware that she has in years. And rightfully so! She put out a beautiful film with beautiful music, period. It's tackling issues a lot of people relate to, and need support with, and the public is responding to it. And I will say, if you don't understand the importance of this movie/soudtrack, or why the fans are responding to it in such a way, you may lack the emotional awareness and experience that others have. Supporting this and her does not equate to embracing a superficial attitude, or make someone any less of a fan. You saying that favoring this is "elitist" is incredibly hypocritical, as your pessimistic view of the current state of her career has enabled you to saddle up on your high-horse and look down at anyone who doesn't see 2009-2013 Gaga as "superior" in intelligence, artistry or activism. Lady Gaga is STILL doing everything that you have stated, even if she is having mainstream success and released a soundtrack with more conventional music. The best thing about stanning this woman is that there is an era, an album, or a piece of art for everyone. Some people love Joanne's stripped back sound, others prefer Born This Way's massive bops, and a segment that is loving seeing her as a massive Hollywood actress. I would even argue that some of her best projects have been the non-pop ones. None are wrong, or inferior. By saying so and criticizing members on here, you're stifling her, and ultimately turning your back on her overarching message - togetherness and love. So with all that said, I suggest you take several seats and allow the stans to stan as they please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't stan a balladartist, because i'm not sad, I like life and want to dance.. Gaga has the perfect voice for pop, every popsong with her voice sounds so freaking good.. Not everything has to be "lyrically professional" or "intelligent", enjoy life and dance on HBF I don’t think Gaga has a “perfect voice for pop” at all. Her early hits don’t showcase her singing abilities at all. If her singing is going to be hidden by layers and layers of background music and some autotune then she doesn’t need that good of a voice. How many people do you know that said “woah, what a beautiful voice” after listening to idk, Alejandro? I think her voice which is kinda “textured” (raspy? Raw? Idk how to say this) is much better for ballads or rock, although I agree that I prefer listening to pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondheartxx 176 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Gaga's biggest pop hits weren't necessarily generic. She was unique and saved pop music + changed the game forever with her hits. She's a master at pop music, and yeah I'm not happy w/ the pop on the radio atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
