Suspiria 10,683 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 My big unpopular opinion is that she should be doing a lot more regarding the climate crisis. Of course she can't dedicate herself to every cause, and she already does more than enough regarding certain social issues. But someone with as gigantic a carbon footprint as her, she could easily be making changes to reduce it. Like why aren't Haus Labs products and packaging sustainable? They could easily afford to make that commitment. Why isn't she vegan? She lives in California and no doubt has dieticians, she could very easily do that. Does she really need to fly in a private jet from LA to Vegas? It's not that far. Why isn't her merch sustainable? Again, her brand could easily afford to sell ethically and sustainably produced clothing rather than that cheap plastic garbage. And as one of the most powerful names in the music world, she could absolutely make some changes in the industry if she wanted to, regarding the environmental impact of tours, merch, physical music etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's great she paused her career for BLM (actually I really respect her for that), but that was like 1 month then she went straight back to promoting makeup and luxury brands. We got multiple new Haus Labs photoshoots during the pandemic, which shows she was willing to do promotional work (it's literally her company, so not like she was forced to do something she didn't want to). I think if she'd actually spent the entire year dedicated to Covid and BLM, people would be a lot more forgiving. But the reality is 99% of that year was just paid promotions for HL, Oreos, Tudor watches, Valentino perfume, LG tvs, Lamborghini, Dom Perignon She definitely could have done a LOT more for Chromatica, that is simply a fact. A lot of people over the past two years have remarked on the lack of Chromatica promotion, but I ask the question, why would she promote Chromatica, what would be the point ? The money is in the concert tour, and the concert tour wasn't happening, so what would be the point in promotion ? Gaga Inc would presumably have been budgeting to make pots of money from TCB in 2020, and when that didn't happen the gap had to be filled. Hence Oreos, watches, champers.

Well given the tour wasn't happening, surely they'd want to shift their focus back to selling the album? I know albums don't make as much money as tours, but it's better than nothing. Dua's mega promo clearly paid off (FN is still in the top 30, almost 2 years later). Chromatica meanwhile, from a far more established artist, didn't even last 6 months, and I think it's hard to imagine that this isn't in part due to the fact there was no promo. The public forgot about it. Also there's the fact she's an artist and a performer lol, I would have thought she'd want to create videos/visuals and perform these songs live in some form. To entertain the public, give back to her fans. But I guess she's more of just a businesswoman and philanthropist now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you factor out the bad planning around the era, the music itself was nowhere near deserving of the criticism it got. What’s funny it was deemed as this overly artistic complex concept album when today there’s an abundance of those celebrated. People loved to question Gaga and make sense of everything she does instead of enjoying the amazing production we got on ARTPOP. If you wanted a club record, this was THE club record to go to. 4-Chromatica is a flawless album. Like even its worst song is decent (1000 Doves). I think fans are not appreciating the fact we got such a well rounded album that so what if the era did not manifest the way it was meant to. 5-Gaga is getting lazy when it comes to her main career or initial career of being a Pop artist. Like this is not me saying I lose sleep over it. It’s just apparent and some fans are deluding themselves from it. I think you know what I mean by this one especially when you contrast it with her career up to ARTPOP. She’s giving bare minimum. I don’t blame her though, she wants to focus her efforts elsewhere like building up her acting career, etc. 100% on everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know albums don't make as much money as tours, but it's better than nothing. Dua's mega promo clearly paid off (FN is still in the top 30, almost 2 years later). While Chromatica sold well, it had a very short chart run, and ROM (and absolutely Sour Candy) did not reach anywhere near their potential, likely due to a lack of promo. Maybe you're right, I don't know the numbers, I'm just working off the general notion that artists don't make much from album sales these days. I can picture Gaga and her team, or any artist, sitting down and crunching the numbers and deciding that it's not worth the effort for the miserable few pennies that they MIGHT make from album sales, and let's give Dom Perignon a call instead.

Not a year dedicated in her pop music big return, which sucks. Ok Covid ****ed up lot of things but anybody in the business with a real love for their own music managed to give something satisfying. The talk is tired tbh. Let's hope Chromatica Ball will deliver something very satisfying. I won't be satisfied if she's just cooking up a 'cheap' pop show à la Enigma. She had two years to prepare something huge for expensive stadium tour. No excuses for low quality this time (especially seeing the high cost of tickets).

Because I think the stand-alone is a no skips while in the deluxe version of TF/M your point stands Oh, I wasn't necessarily saying there were any skips on TF/M. Just that Chromatic had none (to me).

Bella Goth 1,149 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 1. im okay if she leave "lady gaga" persona and focus on her things. it seems people always complaining that she was not "gaga" enough. let this "gaga" live as an enigma that anybody can create whateven they want her to be. its like the idea of hatsune miku. 2. her jazz presence > her pop. 3. sitting with her crazy outfit and crazy piano >>>> 4. first "it's bree bree bree yeah" as an intro on babylon remix is unecessary. should be use only when bree about to rap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
