KevinWright 1,686 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Lady Gaga being extravaganza in ARTPOP era... People found her too much and too weird while on TFM era and BTW era being an over-the-top artist was surely something that worked for her. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 65,774 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It's because she did it properly back then and hadn't yet fallen from grace. Tbh I think her MVs are actually fine. Surprisingly good considering everything... The problem is the music. Like a poem said by a neydy in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 3,131 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Gagas vocals in a way, often times she choses to flex her vocals rather than to make a pleasant melody (Dope, Till it happens to you, Blade of grass, shallow). Britney and her dancing to the degree where she basically never sang live, same with Madonna in certain cases. Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift with their storytelling to the point where they kinda ignore the power of gr8 production Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 124,941 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Ava and Bebe Netanyahu sampling methods, at first they were hits (undeserved imo), but then they became a pop stans joke. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 124,941 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Gaga's relationship with her fans, it started as a mastermind marketing plan, a deep connection on social media, she reposted, she replied, she was aware, then LM.COM was created and the connection was deeper.. but in the meantime the fans started to be toxic to her and she began to take one step back each time, until she totally moved away from this relationship.. she became an enigma, an old school mysterious artist, like old times. Here and there she's throwing some bones, but it's not as deep as it was, and it honestly pretty sad. We had something so special and we blew it.

I fully admit maybe my ears need checking and that WOAAAA-WOAAAA-AAAAA bridge is the flex of all flexes but somehow I always felt that everything was so smooth-sounding and pleasant (I'm including the solo MBT version), not the way some people describing her "dope voice" sounds at all? Could you explain? Just a question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nATAH 55,147 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I predict beyonce's "mysterious" persona is starting to get old the lack of content for her fans and expensive merch is getting tiresome just dropping and dipping isn't as cool as it was with ST and Lemonade mother, what must i do? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shape of a rvfzme 1,238 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Nicki Minaj? She used to be called the queen of rap, but now she's failure. Starships, Super Bass, Pound The Alarm, etc. – I loved that era. Katy Perry – she has strange behavior, but overall she used to sound better musically than she does today Rihanna – the only one among the stars who was truly bop. Today, she doesn't even want to feel that fame. Britney Spears – If her life had taken a different course, if she had been more conscious, even if her health had been better, we would have many songs today. Today, I truly feel sorry for her, that her life was destroyed in such a way... Feel the beat under your feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here and there she's throwing some bones, but it's not as deep as it was, and it honestly pretty sad. We had something so special and we blew it. This I really agree with. She HAD to step back for her own health, it became terribly toxic towards her (the demands laid at her feet, the constant bullying she got) and ultimately wasn't healthy for some fans either... Maybe it had to do with the median age on certain sites but us LM's, as a collective, did blow it. It's never going to be the same but knowing she's happy and has her own life back is maybe better in a way? I was however way too happy to hear her scream "Put your Paws up" constantly instead of just "hands" during this tour.

Oriane 22,325 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Interesting question, I went through my favorite artists to see if I could find anything, but the only things I could find were the opposite, their music got less good precisely when they stopped/tried doing something different from what they did best. Or when they just don't evolve anymore. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this association and changing too much or stepping too far from what they are known for can end up backfiring in a way and make them lose the fans that were fans of them for that original aspect that got them big in the first place.

I feel similarly except some songs, like Lifetime and Bandaids, feel like hits that could have been if she didn't have her reputations.
