Klinky 2 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 At least she isn't delusional about it and can really focus on her comeback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Nice interview! Very concise, and it was nice to hear the transformation form BTW to ARTPOP. No, it's not BTW bashing time. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 533 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Very interesting interview. It's actually very intriguing the amount of parallels between Michael and Gaga. They both have come under attack from people after reaching massive highs with their careers, and both despite being the biggest stars in the world make music geared more towards their fans and their own personal tastes rather than the general public.

rslayer 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You know... Not a big fan of the article. It was full of underlaying pokes at her, as usual. I am really upset about how negative the beginning of ARTPOP is being handled by some of the GP and the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,215 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've noticed that it's usually the same people who have been saying: "Her 15 minutes are up" for the last five years. Don't they not realise a pattern is forming? I don't know when it's going to get through to certain people's thick skulls that she's here to stay. As long as she's alive, she'll be making music and she's proved that she can make all different styles, so if the public's taste ever shifts massively like it did from urban to pop in 2008, she could make an entire album devoted to this style and be successful with it, if she so desired. Because of this, she doesn't have to worry about her career ending because she can't adapt to the next big genre. Could you imagine how the likes of Katy, Rihanna, Nicki, Beyonce, etc. would cope if rock made a huge comeback? Not Gaga. She'd throw on her leathers, learn electric guitar in an instant and release an album of stadium rock. Someone as adaptable as Gaga will never be finished.

000 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just saw an interesting comment about that: Everything she said was perfectly true. With that said, she's clearly bothered by the way things are going. The only thing that bothers me is that she seems to lumps all criticism into the same category, and perceives all of it as a being a desire to write her off. Rather than taking a minute to even consider that Applause shouldn't have been the first single, or that maybe people genuinely aren't feeling it, she instead masks that possibility with this narrative that it's due to society wanting to see her fail, when the reality is that this extreme sentiment is confined to a few forums on the internet. Regular people don't think about this at all, they just want good music, that's it. The irony is that if she does fail, or under-perform, or whatever, it's solely due to her and her team being to dense to consider that maybe, just maybe, some of the critics raise valid points. This (false) attitude they possess of everyone being against her is why they don't learn from their mistakes. She's her own worst enemy. The flaw with your argument is that you bypass her own self awareness. She doesnt simply lump everything as an attack against her, she evaluates the criticism. She takes it into consideration which is probably how a song like Applause was even made in the first place. Regular people, whether they realize it or not, are swayed by things like media perception and the attitudes of people like us that are supposed to supposedly support the music. A bunch of pop stans whose opinions you claimed are exclusive to forums eventually got loud enough and broad enough for that overly pessimistic attitude to spread even more to blogs and to the media. It is partly about the content of last era for sure, no ones saying shes not to blame including herself. But at the same time the way shes portrayed by the media is often with a negative tinge and that influences regular peoples perception of her.

Mills 446 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 By the sound of it, she surely is aware of all the flak and nitpicking she has been receiving ever since the release of Applause (and the numbers it is pulling so far). And it's among the reasons why I could appreciate her even more. Though it's somewhat heartbreaking, well at least for me as a constant follower of the Billboard charts, to see the relatively lukewarm reception Applause is currently getting, compared to Roar, it's beyond ridiculous to even consider that her career is over at this point. At least let's wait for the release of ARTPOP before even crossing out this era which has only barely began. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMarty 96 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Very interesting interview. It's actually very intriguing the amount of parallels between Michael and Gaga. They both have come under attack from people after reaching massive highs with their careers, and both despite being the biggest stars in the world make music geared more towards their fans and their own personal tastes rather than the general public. Yes and no. Both get attacked by the media, but Michael as a physical person was torn apart by the media and his own label. When it goes as far as saying someone is denying their race, their gender and is a pedophile, it supersedes jibes like delusions of grandeur/they aren't what they were/they've peaked/they're annoying. At the moment there are lots of positive reviews and articles about Lady Gaga and there are plenty of negative ones too, Michael had that between 1986 and early 1993. Between 1993 and 2002 there were far more negative than positive articles about Michael and from 2003 to June 2009 there was almost exclusively negative Michael articles everyday. It took his death for the GP to see how biased the media were against anything he ever tried to do. I'm glad Gaga is able to recognize and talk about this level of negativity thrown at her by the media. I'm glad she's seeing it for what it is - bandwagon hate that would have hit her if she released Bad Romance 2.0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
