Controversiaga 10,571 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Unexpectedly, joker. It should’ve been great. other than that , worst move was bare minimum/non existent promo for previous album cycles , and I don’t really think mark ronson or blood pop understand what makes Gaga Gaga , and how to emulate that through music Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesToStart 3,426 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think, in general, Gaga would benefit from being a bit more agile. It feels like every project she does is years in the making, which just rarely flies in today’s media environment. Not to mention the opportunities they’ve dropped by not seeing that something unexpected of hers has traction and going all in on it. Gaga herself moves from inspiration to inspiration quickly, so I’ve never understood why her releases and projects feel so delayed and set in stone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWantYourLove 1,393 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 23 hours ago, Essence said: Not necessarilly a move she can't remedy moving forward, but picking movies only directed by men that center a male figure her character is integrally attached to. Not sure if it's just because she's been a bit typecast (which is typical of Hollywood), but I would really love to see her branch out into female-led films where she explores dynamics that have nothing to do with a man. She deserves her A24 leading role moment and should make choices accordingly! Give me her in a lesbian movie right f*cking NOW 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper 966 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Regarding the Joker discourse, I mean it turned out to be a disappointment, but honestly as Cate Blanchett said: ”Success teaches you nothing. Making mistakes is the most important thing you can do.” I’m sure she didn’t say this first, but I heard her say it once. She was probably quoting someone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler1992 2,260 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I think not establishing human resource mechanisms for members of the Haus of Gaga sooner (or if at all). It’s refreshing knowing almost all her former team speaks very highly of her, but it’s sad to know there are members within her team who were treated poorly by their higher ups. I know it’s a very cutthroat, competitive, and intense industry, but integrity of those taking advantage should be kept in check, and those being taken advantage should be able to have support.

ThisGuyTony 29,623 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 - Not releasing PI MV same day as the song. They missed an easy top 10 - MR MV: a better video would have way more views and reflect its hit status - More singles from Joanne - even Diamond Heart would have worked. The era is forgotten because there’s no other singles to associate with it - The Cure MV: even if the video was just the visuals from the lyric video it would have created more hype and longevity for this song - ASIB era: more official singles - Chromatica era had COVID impact and there was a world crisis anytime she tried to launch promo I think a better video for SL would make it look like a bigger hit - More singles from Chromatica - the era lasted 2020 - 2024. There was definitely time to film at least 1-2 more MV’s for this era (same issue as Joanne - forgotten due to no other singles to associate with it) - Love For Sale - I was never a fan of a second collab jazz album cause I knew it would not do as well as C2C (plus this release harmed her streams) - Hold My Hand release - it was released on a Tuesday, and while I don’t mind the intro, I can see why many are turned off by that (remove it entirely) - Bloody Mary MV - she was filming JFAD during this time… I think it should have had a video or visual or something to make it a bigger hit - JFAD era - it was meant to be the biggest movie role of her career, and it was just a bomb. Nobody wanted dusty, unknown, jazz covers in a musical 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfonso 1,547 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Not capitalizing or making the most out of her catalogue; we have no dvd's no special editions no collectors sets, etc. There's so much she could do. Like other's have mentioned, ARTPOP's anniversary was mistreated. Songs like PARTYNAUSEOUS, Brooklyn Nights, Princess Die, State, etc, could've been officially released (in the sense that we already know them and they were almost ready). DWUW should've gotten the solo version and a The Weeknd remix as well. It's a favorite, a hit and one of her best songs; you don't just keep it from existing. The fact that we don't have Tour DVD is also insane; the artRAVE should've been filmed in London since she had three dates there. The BTWB should've been filmed in Paris, as it was her biggest show at the time (it never made sense to me how they wanted to wait for the NA dates to film it). The Joanne World Tour was supposed to be filmed in London, so I guess there was nothing to do (though they shouldn't have done the grammy's performance). We also never got a live album and DVD/professional release of the Jazz and Piano shows. Not doing a mini tour or at least a special concert for AISB was also a missed opportunity. Obviously the way the Chromatica era had nothing is wild and I would also say that the Chromatica Ball should've included all the songs from the album. Sour Candy didn't get a single thing which was also crazy. The scrapping of projects like the Tony documentary and the full Radio City Show. The fact that we never got a video or performances for Bloody Mary, even though it was everywhere. Edited February 22 by Alfonso 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAssPiss 4,886 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Enigma/Chromatica. Not ALL of Chromatica but the disjointed presentation of this era. She didn't want to do the pop show in Vegas. She wanted to do Jazz. The blue wig and orange lip is infamous clownery. She should have just dedicated the time and energy to Love for Sale/Jazz & Piano and maybe released a Piano Versions recording of her biggest hits. I think Chromatica had some great songs, but she frequently said she didn't want them to be dance songs (1000 Doves, Fun Tonight). The way she seemed to be dissatisfied with the demand to make dance music hurt my heart. I wish she had waited to release a dance album until she was ready and hyped to do so. She really seemed to be punching the clock a bit even though the videos for Rain on Me and 911 were fierce. I also think the whole BTW-lite aesthetic of the gay alien universe around Enigma/Chromatica was copy-paste and messy. Chromatica should have been called Enigma and it should have been a shape-shifting dance-pop sadness record with some rock piano ballads. Honestly, I don't think it's Joker. Joker was a bomb with fans but might do the most for her cred as an actor. It makes her seem more like a workhorse actor and a less like a novelty screen talent. Plus, it was hyped by Quentin Tarantino and John Waters. I really think the narrative around Hollywood is that she was good in the movie but the writer/director made a movie the fans did not want. I think it will help her get another job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a ton of similarities between the two but Monsters like to pretend they're better for some reason when in so many ways they behave exactly the same.

I’d say making a song with R Kelly was pretty bad lol I mean this for real lol, a convicted felon and abuser. I loved her acting in the joker - the director cut so much out, its why we all feel cheated. Free Palestine 🍉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbev 396 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 On 2/20/2025 at 1:16 PM, SevenWonder said: Not releasing ARUTW as an official single. Would have been a top ten easily, if not number one. Honestly, ASIB could have been like Whitney's Bodyguard. With multiple singles smashing back to back. I'm not so sure about this one, but I also think Gypsy should have been the third single from ARTPOP. It would have been a refreshingly upbeat, anthemic song that might have done better than GUY (and I like GUY), which felt like a backward move at the time. Totally agree. The ASIB Soundtrack should have had at least three singles: 1. Shallow 2. Always Remember Us This Way 3. I'll Never Love Again Also agree with you about Gypsy being ARTPOP's third single. I believe it would have been well received by the general public. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
