The13thNote 1,390 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Should Gaga make a "Fight the Power" kind of record based on feminism, trans equality, the future, climate change awareness, #MeToo as it could potentially resonate as her defining what "Gaga" means? (I think she has to make this type of record one day....an unapologetic record stating and defining who and what GAGA means). A sort of "this is me defining what and who I am and what I choose Gaga means". Gaga is intrinsically political. I think she needs a record where she gets to champion what she has fought for. Or should she make ear candy for the charts and score some more commercial success, saving this record for maybe LG7 or LG8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastiscGuy 21,293 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 No. Would it be nice? Yeah. Would it flop? Absolutely. I think she should stay out of it. A track or two could be nice, but not an entire album. It won't work, look what happened with Born This Way. She finally gained the GP back, let's not lose them (Music not the bling doesn't matter anymore. No sells, no new music, that's how it works now) PG.

And it ironically paid off. Madonna's first true "comeback" from a decline was Ray of Light and it was a deep, twisted, risky journey into how she felt about the world and her life. It would be seen as courageous in the long run. Do we want numbers or respect in 2050 at this point? I just think about it and you know....Debbie Gibson and Olivia Newton John were massive chart topping artists in the 80s but people remember Madonna and Cyndi more (who were riskier).

RoverLoader 1,254 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 No. It would be enormously predictable to do that. Also she would destroy any momentum she has got with ASIB and the goodwill towards her. It just needs to be a great pop record. That's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it ironically paid off. It would be seen as courageous in the long run. Do we want nunbers or respect in 2050 at this point? I mean, it's a VERY sensitive topic. And sadly, if it doesn't pay off, we won't hear from Gaga in a very long time, why? Interscope only cares about the money, if Gaga flops, they will start with the nonsupportive bullshit again. She'll have no support, once again and it's not just about charts, it's about the way she's going to get treated by the media again, by her own fans! We know how that affected her in the past. Yes, she has the voice and platform to do it, and perhaps make it work. But what if it doesn't? Would the 2019 Gaga take another risk, at this point? After everything she has been through? I don't think it's a good idea... PG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Madonna and Gaga for their edge, their commentary and world issues and for taking risks. If Gaga loses that, she will lose me.

Taking risks is good, but it has its cons. I'm here for Gaga to be political again, I'D LOVE TO! She's amazing at it. But I'm absolutely not here for a possible backlash again. We've been through that during Born This Way and post ARTPOP era and she was NOT doing well. So, even if it sounds shallow, I'd rather her playing safe, or taking minor risks. PG.

HoneyB 27,926 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yes! Convert all the str8s she attracted with ASIB into hunties! I would be ok with one song being like that not an album though, but it needs to come off as good because those kind of songs tend to be considered corny or cringy as long if it’s treated like a Born this way 2.0, we good!

dynamite 60,494 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 In a metaphorical way like BTW sure. Everyone's suddenly fighting a cause these days, which is great, but it would be nice to have something that's all about the music. I use it to escape reality I don't want to be brought right back to it lol. Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
