What countdown design means…

[GerMonsterNotta 824]

Ok so we are counting down era by era …. taking a moment, what are Gaga / her team’s thinking on delivering the LG7 announcement in this way to the world.. 

 

1) 7 (LG1,2,3,4,5,6,6.5,7..) eras -> roughly ~7 days - works well for a countdown… plus reminds world of legacy

2) a cute nostalgic way for fans to reminiscence on each era as we wait for LG7

or something a little deeper:

3) Gaga is in a place in her life now where she is ready to reflect on the journey as a whole… through all the pain, she’s now ready to accept who lady gaga is and has become across the full era, through the highs and lows. LG7 theme about embracing all these identities? 

4) LG7 complete some kind of journey…. 
 

5) Are we headed for a greatest hits or eras tour / residency kind of era …

I feel like LG7 will be primarily a reflection on fame (not The Fame).

It feels like a continuation of the Museum of Brutality theme of TCB. Bad Romance starting with Gaga in a "cage" and the show ending with the monster claw outfit which then got used for the first LG7 tease. 

I just get the sense she's ready to do a reflective album on her career path as we've seen with some of the Happy Mistake lyrics & Disease. 

Which then naturally leads to a tour that is also heavily focused on her career as a whole even if its not a traditional greatest hits tour.

We also got this OLD OLD tweet

It’s a reach but the teasing on her web site and the countdown moving like a clock…. And this tweet including the emoji marks 7 ”words”

honestly, she has so many hits now, her setlists are going to be quite greatest hits-ish

even CBT was missing plastic doll, SFA and love me right

[PartySick 147,272]

Does anyone remember if it was Joanne or Chromatica that she called "the end of the beginning of her career"?

If it was Chromatica, then LG7 is the first album that's coming from what she considers to be the main chunk of her career. Her first "mature" album, if that makes sense.

I'm still not ok with her labelling an EP as an entire album. TFM was literally an extension of The Fame... Should be LG 1.5.

She could arguably skip most of them without much pushback if she wanted and just use seven or eight real hits:

Poker Face*

Just Dance*

Bad Romance

Telephone*

Born This Way

Shallow

Rain on Me*

Die With A Smile

*Means a song would/should be shortened. That's, what, 15-20 minutes of a 2 hour show? If that?

Chromatica, but she meant it more like she let go of old fears and concerns and she's ready to embrace her art again with a lighter mindset

It doesn't meet any definition for an EP. It's too long, it has too many tracks, and she and her label both recognize it as a standalone album regardless of the rerelease of The Fame.

It's time she retires The Edge of Glory and Love Game...

Honestly  

I don't wanna see a repeat of TCB where the first 15 minutes almost are just ten+ year old songs  and LoveGame, while a bop, really didn't need to be full and even extended  

She was right to finally cut Paparazzi and Alejandro though.

If she wanted to be real brave I'd say cut Bad Romance to the length it was for Coachella, cut Just Dance and Poker Face to their artRAVE lengths (get both songs out of the way in just under 5 minutes), axe Telephone entirely, cut Ariana's part from Rain on Me, cut Bradley's verse from Shallow, and leave Born This Way as the only hit that remains full length.

DWAS is a new song so it'll be in full for the LG7 Ball but afterwards she can cut Bruno's part and maybe find a way to do a medley with Shallow.

I would agree but it's one of her biggest hits so she won't  without Bradley's verse it's just over two minutes of the show so it's not so bad.

Unless she does that "hey, play the guitar melody for five minutes while I slowly walk to the piano and stare at the crowd" thing again
