I do believe that ARTPOP could gain her some new and old fans back though. It definitely has that potential. Honestly we shouldn't be so surprised with these numbers, we should've been expecting it tbh.

I don't wanna act holier than thou though, if someone else from like early 2009 fandom wants to chime in, you can + will likely have similar observations id bet

 

Yes, you do.

BTW era was great for some people, they loved it, and I want to respect that. Esp now that the era is over, I dont wanna kick a dead horse, but times of BIG turmoil were:

 

A) Born This Way single release (It caused a lot of fights over people wanting her old dance music back)

B) Judas single release (Controversy/struggling single)

C) Edge of Glory video (Massive meltdowns)

D) You & I single choice WW + You & I VMA performance (Massive meltdowns again)

E) Marry the Night flopping + MTN video (both seen as big disappointments)

F) Meltdowns over Gaga vanishing quickly after.

 

I'm not saying a single was a good or a bad choice, and im not saying the videos were all bad. But at ALL of those points, which is almost the entire era if you can tell, there were fights/drama/anger/etc. on GGD and across her fanbase in general. It was not pretty

 

And I genuinely remember many members I had talked to personally often vanishing from GGD over the course of the year.

exactly, everyone acts like she did something particular and It lead to a decline ...

A lot of things that she did are the reason of everything now ...  A lot of performances, a lot of weird outfits, some videos, some songs,  some lyrics, BTW's album cover, the big break ...  Even her thanking the Gays at every award show ...  Madonna talkin about Gaga also ... Perez Hilton also, believe It or not even Kelly Osbourne and BOOMKACK everything :(

Thanks! 

I wanted to know how all these things were received here and across her fanbase. I mean, I've been a fan since Paparazzi so I know what happened during BTW era, it's just that things work differently in my fan base 'environment'. Most of italian little monsters are completely chart ignorant and the meltdowns when something goes wrong aren't so big. MTN video was loved and  pretty much everyone loved BTW and Judas. I knew those things drove the GP off, I mean, 2 flop singles, weird videos, short era, blackout etc, but I didn't know it had such a big impact on the number of fans as well

FAME believe it or not was released 1 year ago when Gaga was still relevant for GP. 

I think the biggest damage was made during Oct 2012- August 2013

 

Almost 1 year without ANY appereance anywhere!!!!!

 

I mean even I had kinda forgotten abou ther as the only sign she was alive was some posts she liked on LM.com

True. And when you did hear about her, it was negative. Luckily not as bad as JB, but bad. A hip surgery, wheelchair, empty seats in stadiums, wearing fur, smoking weed on stage, promoting weed on her social network, getting fat, 'farting problems' :lmao: . They were more thirsty for news articles about Gaga half a year ago than right now. All the bad press has negatively influenced the way the GP looks at her.

I've been a fan since poker face.

She's changed a lot. Especially with BTW. That album turned a lot of fans off. Even me for a while. Yes she was the biggest star and she was given the opportunity to do whatever she wanted to. But she chose to drastically change. Which shouldn't have happened so soon. She should have done more like TFM with some BTW mixed in. Or did ARTPOP before BTW.

who's? Mine? Ugh never mind

He said "MTN peak - 29,  Dope's peak - 8,  Difference 21 spots" and you said "If you add Dope's peak to the difference, It equals MTN's peak" which was the same :D

Yes exactly.

 

I dont think everyone from 2009 necessarily HATES all of BTW, but the change was SO abrupt. It was literally like culture shock, she was completely different. And she still kind of is.

 

A few other members from earlier on (colours + Alien Tulip) have talked about this too in chat.

 

But, again, it's her choice. She can do what she wants, it definitely paid a price though. A lot of her old fans literally hate her now.

Rihanna has one of the worst

 

she's STEADY,her latest tour is doing amazing, She makes #1 hits with no effort, she's still relevant for like 8 years now. All her albums are Platinum. Yes she doesn't have great first week sales but she never had. She is STABLE, Gaga's falling. That's why people are melting down, Because she was HUGE and these numbers are honestly embarrassing for someone who had her success at one point.

Can this US thread be made for members only for a while. I don't want other stan bases to read the meltdowns here. :sweat:
