Is Charli XCX still mad at Gaga?

maybe I’m remembering the timing incorrectly, but wasn’t this and chromatica itself all around the time Gaga was in and out of psychosis? it could very well have been that (as we know) bloodpop convinced her to get through and release chromatica at his direction mostly, and I imagine considering we also know that DoC was totally his project, it’s likely that Gaga was simply not mentally available in some ways or others, and that almost certainly wouldn’t have been lightly offered up context at the time. it would make sense that Charli would’ve been under the impression that Gaga would be involved directly, but not been made aware that she was basically not healthy enough to even consider that an issue at the time

I don't think she has anything against her. She hadn't hit the big time when the 911 remix happened and we are aware that Gaga really wasn't that involved with that entire project, so overall, it wouldn't be surprising if they never crossed paths. But I don't think there's remotely any beef between them. 

Thing is, I'm actually not a big fan of Charli's music, to say the least. She's usually just about ok most of the time. But after hearing Brat, I feel she'd really work well with Gaga if they were making electropop, I feel Gaga's influence could really make Charli hit her stride because I feel Gaga's mastered that genre. But at the same time, I don't want Gaga to be accused of trying to latch onto whoever's popular right now. I also think them appear more like mother and daughter if they were on a song, kinda in the same way she was with Ariana and even Blackpink. And Charli's brand of electropop is so British, so English, so London that Gaga's style might clash. And their vocal abilities are like chalk and cheese. If a collab did happen, it would have to be next level.

Charlie makes generic dance music. (Put aside all of the tasteless and embarrassing fashion choices, endorsement of drugs, smoking, etc. desperation to be the cool, "it" girl and so on). 

Gaga doesn't need to do that. They shouldn't even be spoken in the same sentence. It's like comparing a Rolls Royce to a trailer park car. 

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! :ladyhaha: I do somewhat agree, though. I think Charli's music is actually quite experimental by mainstream pop standards, though, especially the stuff she made on How I'm Feeling Now and even quite a few songs on Brat that didn't become singles. She's always made weird music, as far as I'm concerned and I'm still baffled as to where the critical acclaim's coming from. I definitely think Gaga's takes on electropop are far superior but I could still totally see Gaga taking her under her wing and bringing out her best work. But good point about her glamorising the stuff that Gaga's been trying to avoid these days. I don't want Gaga sucked back into that world of chain smoking, cocaine binges and all-night partying. God knows that stuff could've ended her once upon a time.

Gaga said in (I think?) her RS interview in 2024 that she loves Charli (along with Kesha, Billie and Chappel, if my memory serves me well), so I think there’s a genuine sense of admiration between the two. But like others have already stated, their POV regarding pop music is so different, two completely different spheres, so I don’t think they’d mesh too well together, hence why their only collaborative endeavor was BloodPop’s fun little vanity project

What’s with people calling it “Bloodpop’s little project” in a shady way lol. Yes, Dawn of Chromatica was made possible because he got all the artists to do remixes and picked the ones that worked. This was during the time the ARTPOP Act II petition was viral and Gaga was in Italy shooting House of Gucci so she was obviously not involved in person first and called him to do it because of the petition and us craving new music. At the end of the day she was the one that green lit it and had the final decision about what to do with it. Not to mention it all coming out in like 2 months right around Love For Sale and Born This Way 10th anniversary.

She tweeted and that was it???? That’s still kinda strange… a GROUP tweet thanking everybody?

 

she really should’ve sent everybody an individual private email thanking them, imo.  

Yes, it’s very out of touch lol. I’m sure Charli feels that way about Gaga but still enjoy her music!

I don’t think she has ever been actually mad at Gaga, more like she had this expectation of getting a feedback she ultimately never got which’s fair and Gaga did act strange towards the whole DOC project at the time (perhaps she acknowledged her and the other artists privately later)

Also Charli was the biggest artist featured on that record and maybe she expected more recognition, imagine if we had a Gaga feat Charli after beat era, everyone would be losing their minds

Little dramonsters allegedly don’t know that a producer’s work is… to produce a record :huntyga:

i think yall just want to see the girlies be mad at each other 

but the fact of the matter is Charli clearly supports Gaga and enjoys her music and has said so in the past. Gaga has even said in interviews how she loves Chappell, Charli, & Sabrina taking off in the last couple years. 

they support each other.

who cares about fake beef?

God knows that stuff could've ended her once upon a time. 

As a Charli fan we’ve all collectively agreed (same for Charli herself) that Brat was a fluke, based entirely around a series of factors combined culturally, critically and commercially.
1) Brat came out following Sophie’s death and that played a big part into Charli alongside ALL her collaborators being put under a microscope because critics wanted to see what this new behemoth of electronic dance music had imparted onto the people she was close to; since she’d never have any new music ever released again. Sophie also gained a lot of “pop” fans pre and posthumously that were hyper focused on her bubblegum songs with people like Charli and Kim. They were dying for more pop productions Sophie style and felt that Charli would be the one of those girls since they made a LOT of unreleased music. This her fanbase increased significantly.

2) The UK dance scene has gone through a renaissance of sorts in the last 4-5 years after Covid, after we got out of lockdown people were PUMPED for dance music again and we got it in spades. Now because of politics, specifically queer electronic music spaces in the UK (I can’t speak for the US or other countries obviously) have grown over the last few years. And Brat was the antithesis of that renaissance it combined all the techno and heavy elements of clubs nights with the pop-y elements of top 40 songs.

3) It’s lyricism. People harp on about the club classics lyrics but they forget in the same track list is a song about the existential dread of mortality (I might say something stupid) where she literally talks about wondering if her chance to have children is gone and if her music will be her only legacy she leaves behind. Or a seemingly fun pop song that’s actually about BPD and generational trauma (Apple). There’s songs that have a level of honesty in them but turned into great pop songs that rivals Gaga’s songwriting (for me anyway) imo. Of course there’s loads of good fun pop writing along the way too. 
 

4) Finally Marketing. They leaned heavily into the virality of the songs, the trends on TikTok, she even last minute decided to make the brat cover what it was when she had an entire photoshoot already to go. The simplicity got people talking. Her persona as a 366 party girl became a big part of it, and she did what Taylor Swift has managed to do; appear younger to audiences than she is (Charli and Taylor are not much younger than Gaga). 
 

She’s never gonna replicate that and I’m glad she’s not wanting to either, I love the new Wuthering Heights soundtrack because it feels like a return to form (True Romantic) similar to how Mayhem feels like for Gaga after Chromatica (ironically also a deep album encased in superficial dance music, much like Brat). I feel like because of nostalgia bait we’re gonna see a LOT of the pop divas try to recapture their original musical manifesto’s in a more modern way. Question is will they do it successfully like Mayhem and Wuthering Heights or will they do it like 143 :rip:

Kesha did a similar thing with “…” as well, and even tho she kinda flopped, the music was really good lol

I think both are fine. DAWN OF BLOODPOP was an... interesting time too.

Gaga was raving hard to "Guess" and Charli was really cheering her on during the 2024 Grammy speech.

She was just a lil mad about hearing absolute crickets from Gaga after finishing BloodPop's lil baby project ehem I mean, Gaga's Dawn Of Chromatica :traumatica:

Would you guys have preferred no remix album at all? The man gave us more Chromatica. Why are we being so weird? Iirc everyone was very stoked for its release when it was rumored and then announced.
