Areej 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 that's why I said Rihanna's peak wasn't like Britney and Gaga I know, I'm just saying it's strange that Gaga is falling like this after her peak, Rihanna didn't fall like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I know, I'm just saying it's strange that Gaga is falling like this after her peak, Rihanna didn't fall like this. Because Rihanna's peak in US is sorta around the ARTPOP level, excepot she's maintained it for 6 albums. In UK she went from high of a 160k debute for TTT down to 99k last time. She had real peaks there (2 albums over 1.5 million total) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 On Howard Stern. Like....what artist says this the day after she releases her album??? The context is important here. You keep quoting this line to criticize her, but the context and meaning behind her statement is important. Howard was asking the question of what was the missing in her life, for her to want to stay high all the time, and then he added that maybe that was too deep for the interview. Then Gaga replied that those types of questions were okay and she was tired of the album promo questions. I took this to mean that she was tired of the typical silly questions that DJs ask during the typical 5-10 minute promo spots most radio stations allow for artists to do album promo. She was ready for a real interview with some real questions about her life, music and inspiration. What's wrong with that? Gaga isn't tired of promoting her album or her music or she wouldn't have performed with such passion at the artRave. She wouldn't have agreed to be the musical guest AND host for SNL. She wouldn't have spent a week in the UK or done the interviews with Sirius or Z100. She wouldn't be working on videos and wouldn't have agreed to do the AMAs or the upcoming Thanksgiving special. Gaga basically said she was tired of the 5 minute type radio promo interviews, not that she was tired of performing or promoting her music. T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonyguy04 3 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah but at least Riri can spout out those number ones. Something Gaga struggles with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonyguy04 3 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's just bad all around. Can't get those smash hits, can't sell albums. Then she is neither a singles or album artist. And the worst thing is she said she was an album artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had real peaks there (2 albums over 1.5 million total) I know all of this, Rihanna never was as big as Gaga was, Gaga's peak was HUGE so doing Rihanna numbers suddenly doesn't make sense. That's what I'm trying to say, It's kinda strange Like she didn't do 500k then 350k then 250k, no she fall too fast to 250k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissmy7 109 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 If you think about it, Gaga started as a dance/pop act with totally different sounds/performance from her peers and this made her unique at that point...when pop music scene had nothing interesting to show anymore...she taught the other girls how to be fearless, how to compete again, how to make expensive film clips, how to improve their performances...But Gaga clearly showed everyone that although the industry was pushing for mainstream she always had the creative control over her performances and videos and was always embedding her art and vision into what is widely accepted by GP....The industry is still pushing her but she is clearly happier with promoting her art rather than being a simple pop girl...(and an art girl sells less than a pop girl)....she is talking about this lately in interviews but no one's paying attention....and if you see today's interview at BBC2 at min. 28.59, it says it clearly.....it is not necessarily bad....i always loved Gaga when she started and she wasn't pressured to sell millions...She will be our Robyn, our Bjork, our Lana but more pop-ish (for the time) and maybe an acoustic/unplugged/jazz queen later on....The only thing she is not is being stupid...she knows exactly what is happening and she wants to sell her art to people...at any cost....stubborn? maybe...but she is happier that way...she is herself....Fans wants her to be sth else in order to compete...someone will lose...

Robert 270 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Let's hope the predictions are wrong (I know they are never wrong but I hope it anyway xD) and she will sell 300k. It's not that great I know but at least she will surpass Katy and Miley. C'mon she can't sell less than Miley Cyrus...the haters and the other fanbases will destroy us!!!
