Unpopular Opinions: Lady GaGa

[flyaway 15,350]

Mine 

1. ARUTW and INLA are way better than Swallow 

2. The Queen is the best track on BTW 

3. She should quit pop and continue a massive jazz career. That's the way to go. 

4. I hate the GUY MV. 

 

[Blackout19 10,583]

1. Chromatica is her best album! 

2. Rain On Me, Poker Face, Free Woman her best songs

3. Bad Romance is just boring

4. Born This Way her best video music

 

[djfreemymind 704]

1. Joanne is one hell of an album.

2. Love for Sale is a better body of work than C2C.

3. G.U.Y. is one of my least favorite videos of hers.

4. ARTPOP wasn't as hated as everyone assumed.

5. Applause is one of her best music videos period.

[Meat 18,962]

1. She’s the biggest artist to debut this century and most likely it will stay that way.

2. She should retire from dance music and focus on making original jazz albums (not covers)

3. I don’t mind if she quits music altogether and becomes a full time actor. 

[Celloo Deng 53,686]

BTW and ARTPOP are her worst solo albums. 

[Putang Ina Mo 2,062]

IARUTW > Shallow

Her hairdresser doesn't deserve the hate

The heavy eye makeup isn't it on the HoG premieres

Chromatica is her most commercial album

HoG > ASIB

Joanne could have been a visual album that dived deeper into the whole "this is who i really am" intentions of the album

that record arguably changed my life for the better but my main criticism is how shy it was... it never went too deep in any of the branching genres and us fans already know her family history. at least 5 Foot 2 gave us hardcore fans some new vulnerability from her! 

[COOOK 76,406]

I never liked Telephone (the song)

[NFRatwell 23,290]

I would rather her focus on jazz than keep pumping out dance pop albums, if those were the only two options 

 

The way Gaga went from a Hollywood is superficial mentality to being one of Hollywood’s it girls is kinda shady to me. I wish she would explain how her thoughts on LA and Hollywood have changed. 
 

The hate on Gaga’s team is unfair because at the end of the day Gaga has the final say in her career and life choices

100% this, she's stated a million times over that she's the boss and is the one calling the shots!

- Born This Way is truly the album of the decade of 2010
- ARTPOP was an ABSOLUTE downgrade from Born This Way (in terms of musical quality, aesthetics and artistic integrity). I think Gaga knows this and has only recently been able to start recovering from such a fall.
- ARTPOP was not experimental, visionary, groundbreaking, but plain and simple bad and outdated.
- I don't think we will ever again witness the emergence of an artist with the same level of stardom and impact as Gaga. And it's sad that, while the recognition is growing, it's not of the magnitude it should be. Gaga was a true REVOLUTION.
- I wish she would stop choreographing and focus on other ways to "embellish" performances (set design, props, costumes, mannerisms).
- I think his acting skills were more polished in his early days (see MTN mv) than they are now.

I’m confused. For years before Chromatica was released mostly everyone in here was b!tching for a dance pop album. Now people suddenly don’t care if she stops focusing on dance pop to make only jazz?

Because now we can see what makes her happy. Jazz is her calling

I don’t know about anyone else but I have always been a fan of jazz Gaga.

The magic of the first three eras could never be recreated not because she is not capable of it, but because she doesn't want to. Gaga can effortlessly be in the top 3 of all lists and certifications that matter, but her heart and soul is no longer in it.

Gaga's team are her biggest saboteurs. Hair, makeup, producers, creative directors, almost everyone except Bobby to an extent. This is not an insult to their individual work because they've done incredible things, but the fact that almost everything since 2011 has had an issue whether minor or major is astounding to me.

This is more-so for the GP, but Gaga shifted the entirety of the entertainment industry during her peak. I truly dislike how a lot of people today do not acknowledge her as a trailblazer, legend and the last pop star.

Little Monsters are not 'getting older' (drag used to comment on losing polls, fan awards and social media hype). Gaga pretending they don't exist killed a lot of the hype the fanbase initially built with her as one of the main artists who treated her fans with humanity, and not just as cash cows. I've made threads about this before so I better not be quoted with the "what else do you want" wails if you can't comprehend the critique.

All in all I will always remember Gaga fondly for being a support system and idol to me during my teenage years, but somehow even with all the critical acclaim as of late I can't help but feel she is a shell of her former self.
