mic 1,415 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 TF and TFM have just better quality of sound. They still sound fresh, while large chunk of BTW/AP sound dated. BTW/AP music is heavy and not easy to listen for casual gaga listener. TF/TFM were fun, easy to enjoy and full of infectious rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy scheisse 22,289 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I dont think you can just decide to stop being mainstream lol gaga is a household name! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 She is Lady Gaga... She is mainstream... She always will be. Even if she stopped making music. She will never be an underground musician again. Even if she tried, she'd still be that "mainstream artist trying to be underground" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwerk 7,254 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 She would never, no matter what she says. She always says how she loves show-biz. She wouldn't be Gaga without the flashing lights. Plus a lot of her fans wouldn't have access to her anymore. Good point. She loves the attention. What I don't get is why she's so focussed on the US, where they've clearly lost interest while she's really popular in south America but doesn't take the artrave over there. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespertine 3 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 From the mainstream - would you be here for that? Considering most of us on here don't care charts or sales and neither does Gaga from the looks of things. If she's not mainstream it means: Positives: - She gets to make music she wants - Full control of her career Negatives:- No TV performances or high budget tours/performances - Music videos on a low budget http://vimeo.com/m/61447121[] http://vimeo.com/m/73575066q http://youtu.be/puwD8g7xBJ4 http://youtu.be/E1lDHkjcXMI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 what kinda thread? everyone basically on here cares for charts BTW, and gaga has to a little bit so she can be successful. Gaga will probably end up releasing an album when she is in her 50s like madonna, but she will no she's too old to run around the super bowl doing cartwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Kunst 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Most of them claim they don't. Irony being most of them wouldn't have discovered gaga if it weren't for her huge commercial success. That all already happened in the past though. The future can go in a different direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 She has enough Monsters to keep her always mainstream, even if she doesn't top the charts from a lack of GP interest. She'll always be a Hot 100/Pop artist, and her albums will always chart highly on the Billboard 200 thanks to us alone. There will always be enough income from superfans and Monsters to fund her music videos and artistry, even if she isn't on the radio anymore. For example, Bjork is never on the American radio and is far from mainstream, and her videos and fashion are still very highbrow and professional! The only thing Gaga could do to stop herself from being a comfortably-funded superstar would be to change her music drastically, to a style which causes many Monsters to leave and not enjoy her anymore. And I doubt she'll ever do that besides maybe for an occasional side-project album (like Cheek to Cheek). :) My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the shy guy 43 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't think she can "retire" from being a mainstream artist, that's really out of her control. She can, however, make non-mainstream music and continue to experiment more and more both with her sound and her performances/imagery (which I hope she does). Whatever happens to her numbers happens. Lil chartsters can stay mad. A-yo, A-yo..... We smokin' em all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,441 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Giving up the "mainstream" title might be one of the best things that could happen to her. If what I suspect is true, she could be stuck in this popstar mold... Always choreography, always basic pop structures, always basic pop hooks... losing the mainstream expectation might free her from all of that. But on the other hand, this might be what she truly likes. If that's the case then I totally respect that and she'll never be that "highbrow" **** y'all want. Like it or not, Gaga's work is campy and outrageous, so don't expect some conventionally beautiful, pseudo hipster **** out of her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 That isn't going to happen, at least not until she gives Interscope two more albums. She can't just "quit". it doesn't work that way! Gaga must satisfy the terms of the contract or Interscope would sue her for breach of contract.
