HDD: Respect the Gaga

[PlasticHo 700]

More praise for Gaga. Sorry if this has already been shared elsewhere. 

"Industry folk agree pretty resoundingly that Lady Gaga is about to have a very big moment. A Star Is Born already looks gigantic as both movie (scoring a terrific $43m opening weekend on about 3.7k screens) and Interscope soundtrack (dominating at iTunes and a contender for #1 on our chart with a likely first-week total north of 150k). Both, it need hardly be added, are supercharged by Gaga’s charisma and talent.

In fact, this chapter is only the latest in a string of successful choices she’s made—none of them obvious. The idiosyncratic, glam-pop trailblazer who once rocked the meat dress claimed a whole new audience singing standards—and very much holding her own—beside the legendary Tony Bennett, snagging a Grammy. She had a riveting Oscarsmoment in 2016, performing “Til It Happens to You,” joined onstage by victims of sexual abuse. Then she made a splash as the vampiric lead on American Horror Story and earned a Golden Globe. In 2017 she offered one of the most satisfying Super Bowl halftime performances in recent memory. Now, with Star, she combines her superb singing with an acting performance that is an odds-on favorite for an Oscar.

Clearly, no matter what field Gaga competes on, she’s a champion."

like we can say it again and again as fans on GGD but Gaga truly is one of a kind... like literally you can't compare her career to any of her peers, not in terms of success necessarily but just what she has achieved, all the different things she has dipped her toe into and made completely her own. ughh i'm so happy I became obsessed with such an amazing human lmao like whew my taste in pop icons

Talent wins, Im so proud of how she has shown that she has control of her career. Being humble and constantly evolving has made her the legend she is. 

Like Neptune said Gaga's success cant be compared to others. Look at how she cemented herself as a legend 10 years into her career. Just imagine her all her achievements 30 years from now. She will always be an essential cultural icon, her artistry and humanitarian work will never be forgotten. She builds her fans up and inspires them to chase their dreams. When her fans reach their dreams of being stars she supports them instead of feeling threatened. Generations of future stars will continue to respect her because of the wonderful person she is.

I'm so grateful to have been obsessed with and tracking Gaga's career for the last 8 1/2 years. It makes moments like this album and movie have such magical impact. 

And yes, nobody can compare her career trajectory to anyone else's. She is a master at evolution and endless transformation, which is the reason why she is endlessly fascinating.
