You know he got one important thing right

"this presentation made it clear why Gaga, even though she's no longer hot, still matters to her Little Monsters"
(Yes I am taking this out of context)

That's really whats important, that she still matters to her fans and makes them happy, who cares if some people don't like it.

She did fade musically with Marry the Night, so he has some grounds to say it even though the album itself sold fine.

If she wants people to overlook it and think of her as a huge megastar again, then she'll just have to release a new single. Until then, expect the criticism and "irrelevant" claims.

wow she faded with her 5th single from an album that outsold everybody in the bussines besides adele.she doesnt need to release new music every single year to be relevant.thats the difference with rihanna:)the fact that she had a massive tour that started over a year after the album release should tell you something.like beyonce is selling tickets to her tour before the album is released in order to sell well and i doupt she ll be anywhere near gaga s gross.

The fact fans are so insecure about her success now is a statement on at least the limited accuracy of the writer's claims.

Everything they said is true.. sorry!

"In America you live and die on Top 40 radio" Its a half assed truth really.

If she doesn't have new music on the radio or old ones on rotation than its like she doesn't exist here. It annoys me that people only consider that being relevant, but shes not Little Boots. Shes a Top 40 pop star. Not being on the charts hurts her. What annoys me more is that they insinuate that shes "done" or that shes not going to return. When in actuality as soon as ARTPOP is released it will be like she never left. The only full truth in this article is the whole "touring for a 2 year old album thing". THAT ****ed this tour up moreso than anything else to be honest. Not that it isn't doing great. Whats wrong with her not being queen of the universe though? People were so hellbent on knocking her down off of her pedestal and now that shes playing on fair ground they want to tear her down to nothing. It stupid.

I mean look at Ke$ha. She had a hit song on the radio but no one really gives a ****. Look at Madonna, her album tanked hard. Thats falling, even if her tour did well. She doesn't have the same pull with new music. Look at Nicki Minaj, her rerelease did so ****ing ****ty as well as its singles. Is that considered falling? No. She's supposed to be one of the biggest pop stars and she cant even fill arenas, she does theatre tours. Gagas filling up stadiums/arenas and hasn't even released new music and everyones acting like she just released an album and it tanked. Until that happens, shes not really irrelevant. If she releases this album and it does terribly than fine. The only reason people like this reviewer are acting like her attendance numbers are bad (which is so twisted) is because she hasn't had new music in forever and everyone wants to compare her **** to Madonna, who is 30 years into her career and always tours well. Meanwhile shes doing better than her peers! Shes touring better than them! How can that possibly make this tour a failure, like I don't even understand why people insist on painting her in a negative light but its being done on purpose.

Not ****ed up in the sense that its a failure, ****ed up as a figure of speech like its not that smart to start a tour so late for an album that was released so long ago, especially one that wasn't as big as The Fame Monster.

The tour is amazing, but it's true that it should have started earlier. Nothing major tho, this article is full of crap.

"What could we expect when she's on tour to promote an album ("Born This Way") that was released in May 2011?"

True though :(

THIS.

The article is mean-spirited, but they got that part so right. It's no wonder people are losing interest. It still confuses me to this day why she waited so long to go on tour.

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

Like Disney-created tween idols (Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus) and TV-boosted boy bands (the Jonas Brothers, O-Town), Lady Gaga apparently comes with an expiration date.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who trusts her career choices. Sure, she's made a few mis-steps here and there -- who hasn't? But I think she's too smart to fade away into irrelevancy.

Everyone's hating on Gaga now, but lets be real, they'll all be kissing her ass as soon as her single is out.

Well said. No matter how much she achieves, it seems there will always be someone who undercut her while she holds her own in the industry. All that really matters is that she has millions of fans aka monsters who find her more than relevant. It is an investment that will be to her advantage in the future.

Exactly. Shes totally holding her own in the industry. They claim shes fading because they think no one paid attention to her (tour, perfume, rolling stones performance, etc). But she got more exposure for all those things than 90% of celebrities would normally get! When Katy Perry was on tour I didn't even know! Who knew Nicki Minaj even toured besides her fans? I didn't. A lot of people know Gagas been on tour. Who knew Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne had perfumes? Unless you shop at Kohls or are a stan exposure for them on that front was dead silent. Everyone knew Gaga had a perfume and obviously everyone bought it. She gets so much exposure yet they're acting like no one cares. To be honest I think the writers behind a lot of these articles are using their platform to make her fade, the more they write that no one cares about her anymore the more they're forcing that to the front of public conscience and it becomes truth. They want her to fade.
