Meat 18,962 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 It’s so weird, because while I enjoy her music, I also feel like she’s a better actor than a musician? Like for her level of talent. We can argue that she’s a great performer but that also relies on her acting skills. Like I enjoy Chromatica and I know it performed well commercially but HOG (despite its flaws), was more culturally relevant compared to her recent music. The same thing can be said about ASIB as well. The movie made almost half a billion dollars while the album is barely 3x platinum. Does anyone else feel this way, or have I just sort of created an unrealistic image of Gaga’s artistry? I can’t help but rewatch AHS Hotel, ASIB and HOG again and again and wonder how more successful she would be if she just focused on acting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLuna 12,732 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Just because music doesn't sell as much as it used to doesn't mean she should retire from music. She's been making music since she was a child, she's not gonna quit. Plus she loves it and she's good at it. She can have other projects and still make music, they're not mutually exclusive. Plus you can't compare music sales with box office revenues, it's like comparing apples with oranges. Two different industries. Also if you think Gaga is not as commercially viable as a musician, may I just remind you that TCB was one of the highest-grossing tours by a female artist, despite being a very short tour? So yeah, she's still very much relevant as a musician. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can obviously keep making music for films. We just saw her become the highest grossing female composer of all time thanks to her work on Top Gun.

Nite 5,588 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I don't think she would. Actually, I'm not sure she could. If you're an artist dedicated to something, it's really hard to quit. It always runs through your head and it's impossible to quiet the voice. I write as both a hobby and as my job and when things have been overwhelming in the past, I've often thought "Okay, I need a break from this" and it just doesn't seem to work because my brain keeps going at it by itself anyway. Then I think about the tattoo she chose, the Rilke quote on her arm, and I tend to think she probably feels the same way about music. Aside from that, I think I'd be devastated if she did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
