I AM THEATRE 692 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Okay.. so. Gaga and her team made some choices in the past about singles. We know some of them was absolutely right, while others.. well.. not that much. Name 5 singles that (in your opinion) improved Gaga's carreer and 5 singles that (on the contrary) wasted it. You must list them CHRONOLOGICALLY and tell the reason why you listed them. I start. 5 singles that IMPROVED Gaga's carrer: 1) 'Poker Face' (2008) A smash-hit single. One of the most-sold songs of the last 20 years. It had a great impact on the media too and made Lady Gaga famous. 2) 'Paparazzi' (2009) Thanks to the amazing videoclip and the VMA's performance, which is still one of the best performances of all time, Gaga proved to be not only a one-hit popstar, but a talented, smart and theatrical artist that probably gained a place in the charts and in the media's eye for a long time. 3) 'Bad Romance' (2009) Rah-Rah-Roma-ma. Gaga Ooh-La-La. Just like 'Poker Face' , this song suddenly became iconic in the music industry, and of course it still is. It is one of the most recognizable Gaga songs and won a lot of awards, that year. 4) 'Born This Way' (2011) This song absolutely consecrated Lady Gaga the one and only queen of LGBT's community. A song about love, self-acceptance, pride. Fans and the media probably never waited more for a Gaga's comeback, and fortunately the song did not disappoint. People talked so much about the song, also for a started comparison with Madonna's Express Yourself. 5) 'Shallow' (2018) Fans were sured she would never have a #1 hit, anymore. Well, that was completely wrong. 'A Star Is Born' and its most acclaimed single 'Shallow' really improved Lady Gaga's carrer in a while. It really was like 2009 again. People started to talk about her again, and finally remembered what an amazing and talented artist we are lucky to have: Lady Gaga, guys. Therefore, this time was different. While ten years ago Gaga mostly had an impact thanks to her strange-theatrical style and persona, now she is appreciated only for her talent. And we couldn't be happier. 5 singles that WASTED Gaga's carrer: 1) 'Judas' (2011) People started to think Gaga used blasphemy to sell more and more. This also happend with 'Alejandro', but here it was clear. She was losing credibility as an artist. In addition, fans and the media noticed the song was structurally very similiar to 'Bad Romance' and thought Gaga used the same formula to make pop songs. 2) 'Marry The Night' (2012) The song was so unsuccesful if compared with Gaga's previous singles. Moreover, the song was nothing relevant and the concept behind it was not clear for the people. No doubt 'Marry The Night' signed Lady Gaga's decline also in the charts (it was Gaga's lowest position into the Billboard Hot 100, until then). 3) 'Applause' (2013) You could say this should not be in this list, but the truth is that it should. This was officially the beginning of Lady Gaga's worst era . People waited so much for Gaga's comeback, but that time it was no good at all. Confusing lyrics, a strange and ill-posed concept. A song clearly made for the charts, but that (on the contrary) did not have a great success. Moreover, the single was completely destroyed by Katy Perry's 'Roar', which was released the same day, taking pop queen's crown away from Lady Gaga and giving it to Mrs. Perry. 4) 'Do What U Want' (2014) It apparently seemed to have a moderate success in the charts, but after its official release it never truly had. Moreover, Gaga never published the videoclip because of some too dirty scenes and recently the track has been removed from every platform due to some scandals about R. Kelly (featured in the song). Better not to have included it in the album. 5) 'Perfect Illusion' (2016) It was Gaga's umpteenth flop. People were hyped for her return, but after that they lost any hope about realeasing a song that could help her carreer. Fortunately, the subsequent single 'Million Reasons' was more appreciated, also by critics. What about you?? Do you agree with my lists? Comment below, and tell me your opinion!

KatieJudasGaga4 67,907 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Shallow should be at least #2 or #1 on the improved list imo. I love Judas, but it did really hurt her in a way, even though some people over exaggerate it as a flop when it was still quite successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list follows a chronological order, that is to say: how songs succeded in time. This is why Shallow occupies the fifth position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
