and oops

I literally said that I wouldn't have had a problem if it were only 8 songs long, but some people would.

I actually don’t have any criticisms? 🤔 Not that I blindly love everything she does, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything she’s put out in recent years. ASIB especially. I hope she does more acting.

I wish she'd communicate with us more often. And do some live concerts from her home

the reason she doesn't communicate with us is because she'll post a photo saying how much she loves us, then a fan will write something like "okay but can this bitch put on a wig and give us a new music video thxsomuchqueen"

This thread is so opposite of constructive. Y'all are just complaining about her not feeding you what you think you deserve.

I think she should proritize her own physical and mental health above all else. Get herself as well as possible first, and then see about her art.

I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive. I don't like that line. If you find yourself writing that line, I think you may need to start being more honest with yourself.

There is no such thing as "Well as possible" once you have depression, PTSD, all sorts of mental illnesses, it's day to day. And sometimes hour to hour. 

On Friday I was completely fine until I took a shower. Then I wanted to kill myself. I mean there were something's that lead up to it, but like it's not something you can predict. 

And I think that's a great line. Gaga's writing on this album is simpler, but still rather rich in simile and metaphor. Plus also, it works so well with the visuals.

Mess.

But here, I want her to look to the future. Create her sound and not be inspired by the 80s or the 90s. I want to know what would she like to be her sound that would influence the future. Like how Bruce Springsteen inspired BTW and how 90s Dance inspired Chromatica. I do think she needs to push boundaries again. I guess that is not her priority now but it would really be nice if she could do a genre-defining album or two more. I don’t mean that in a chart way but in an artistic way. At this point in her career as long as she’ll deliver a cohesive, good album (like Chromatica) she’ll get the sales. She’s building her legacy and I think she still has more to say.

This thread is more like ‘Gaga Complaint thread’

I have so may opinions on this thread and the demands users are making but I keep on seeing that people want her to be more experimental and weird again. Why? She is growing up and changing and maybe she doesn't want to do that anymore and that is okay. She still makes above average pop music. I wouldn't go as far as saying they are genre changing but there are some very good songs in her discography. Also, her team is smart and I am actually glad they are playing it a bit safe for the Chromatica era. They needed to do major damage control and revamp her image for a new generation of pop listeners. Weird Gaga might not work today. Chromatica had a good balance of craziness to it, which I think helped make the album successful. And let's be real, it is still very unique aesthetically and thematically. 

So, the only big criticism or recommendation I have for Gaga is to remix her songs for tours - especially her older songs. Madonna in comparison always puts interesting remixes on her songs and even new choreography, as seen in her tours videos. Gaga can do this if she hires the right people to help her out. She has a humongous amount of resources and connections and it did slightly disappoint me that in the Joanne tour, the choreo and sound was pretty much the same for so many of her hits as it was in the Born This Way Ball.

I dont know if this is a criticism really because i get where she’s coming from having traumatic betrayals and experiences years ago but she should keep work and friends a bit more separate. I get it though i would want to elevate and employ my friends if i was in her position. It can be argued the “lady gaga product” was better when her team wasnt also her friend group but thats not what i mean. It’s a recipe for disaster and i worry that bobby or sarah or ricky is gonna screw her over like so many in the past have and if that happens she’ll be hit worse than when it was troy or boomcack or whoever

ROM is a song about alcohol dependency. She is saying she would rather be dry (not drinking) however she is still drinking however thankful she is alive

i think she purposely uses lyrical ambiguity (a la “f*ck her face) in the chorus. it sounds like she’s saying i’d rather be drunk. genius

I think having a fanbase feedback is bullshitty pretty damaging. Stupid. Useless. Ungrateful, bratty. Boring, the problem with our modern art world. 

If the artists starts thinking how am i gonna please my people, there stops the art. 

If you have any suggestion put it in your own creations instead of telling a talented Lady or "her team" what she shall do. 

Then if you're not pleased with her artistry, just stop listening. This is truly the best thing to do.

I didn't read your arguments, it's not an attack. Don't feel attacked it's just my point of view after years of being a fan. 

I'm using harsh words only because I wanna rebel against the idea of having expectations towards the artists. Because in the end if that matters that much, you must make sure your life matters as much. Trust me I'm like ... So much into trying to be a better musician those days. If I could sound half as good as GG... Omg.... Well hope I made a point that will be heard.

Just 2 things. She should go back to making long videos, and the hits should be reinvented for each tour, example is Bad Romance, it feels like the same performance in every tour

[brucee 1,690]

by the way Stupid Love movie was so funny and cool. I love it so much and I loved the song so much. I think it's great and it's an illusion of minimalism but truly it's perfect. I think the movie is 'cool' 'funny', a metaphor of a simplified vision of the world. And also there is a lot of emotion, with the interlude, and in Gaga's face.. 

I would never change a thing and I think people who were disappointed just lack sensibility.
