Quark 7,023 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago o<(0_0)>o You can say what you want about Gaga's success with her music and movies (which is all over the place) but is there is one thing Gaga has proved is that she is still one of the best and most talented artist around. Joker Folie a Deux: Gaga is one of the few aspects of the movie to receive praise and acclaim by EVERYONE who watched the movie even from people who hated the movie. Many people were even saying that Gaga was underutilized and they should have added more Gaga scenes. Die With a Smile: both Bruno and Gaga received acclaim and success with this song. With both artist being praised for their vocals and emotion in the song. Harlequin: Gaga receives a strong positive reception from fans and critics alike with a 73 metacritic score. Gaga receives acclaim for her vocals and versatility. Disease: both the video and song receive acclaim from critics and fans. The song is being praised for Gaga's vocals, its unique sound, and overall almost everyone is saying that this is Gaga's return to form. Who else can be acclaimed in a movie, release a classic ballad, release a strong jazz/soul album, an great industrial pop song, and horror themed music video, in a matter of a few months and still receive praise for everything? I don't think any current artist can. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,273 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Multiple of her peers could do this easily. The fact that they don't doesn't mean they can't. That Gaga has underperformed with all but one of these projects means they probably shouldn't, either. Your description of the praise she got for Joker and Harlequin is very exaggerated lol. Non-fans could easily rewrite this situation as: who could star in a legendarily flopped movie, release a no-one-cares second soundtrack to said flopped movie, and release a long awaited comeback single to crickets at the same time, the only glimmer of hope being a duet with Bruno Mars that, aesthetically, has nothing to do with your artistic direction What is impressive is that her commercial underperformance on almost all fronts rn is not affecting people's regard and esteem of her. Her flopping is no longer news worthy like it was a decade ago. She's here to stay, and people will commend her based on her talent, even if they show less interest in what she's doing. That is a remarkable flip of the situation we had a decade ago. That means it's finally time to stop freaking out about or mind-bendingly excuse her numbers and start enjoying the art for what it is.

OP was reaching in some aspects but i don't think they exaggerated the praise gaga received for joker. The underutilisation of gaga is always mentioned in every credible review if not the focal point. And No, "multiple of her peers" cant do this easily because no artist in the industry today is as versatile and well rounded as gaga in terms of Talent, Artistic credibility, critical and commercial success, recognition amoung her peers and cultural relevance. She's not No.1 in every list but she damn well represented in every facet of entertainment. Even though it wasn't your intention, it's confusing how your point is to "enjoy the art for what it is" yet you couldn't help but parade stan twitter rhetoric that discredit credibility or reception of gagas work. Part of enjoying the art for what it is is recognising the wins that everyone disregards when it comes to gaga but overhypes when it comes to other artists.
