Aciid 0 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's hard seeing her fall down so hard, when she had all that pop power. Born This Way did more damage than I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Slay 10,996 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Maybe it'll pick p after the AMAs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlemon 577 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Now 48 is selling more than ARTPOP and it's not even debuting :toofloppy: Gaga, Ke$ha, and Ava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,762 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I cant even hear the similarities, but somehow the charge stuck and it just got repeated over and over and now people believe it whether its true or not. If there are any similarities though theyre minor, but it was blown way out of proportion because a lot of people were jealous of her and were just looking for a way to destroy her. She's angry about this stuff for good reason. This. There will always be similarities between songs thoughout the music industry. Even the great classical musical composers were influenced by each other but they were not copycats. I'm sure Wagner was honored that he had an influence on Mahler and Bruchner, for example. People just needed an excuse to pick on Gaga. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward T 2,217 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 You forgot gay, that was the most damaging thing. And a Madonna copycat. Lmao the gay thing didnt hurt her, Born This Way was actually her strongest selling single and she had gay imagry during the Fame Monster moron. If anything it was the religious thing with judas and horrible edge of glory video and overexposure during BTW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well Im trying to be a little more positive. My bad. She needs to get that video out NOW. Eminem is selling so hard for various reasons but one is he's releasing singles faster than I've ever seen an artist release singles. I wish she would do that but what do I know. I love the album, I'm spreading word, gifting, etc. It'll be what it'll be Sorry, I'm trying not to have a meltdown over this, I am thinking positive though and I know she can fix it. I love it too and I dunno why the GP isn't even giving it a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Winchester 197 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 hopefully ARTPOP is a grower like Applause :cry: i still have hope :ARTPOP: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it was the religious thing with judas and horrible edge of glory video and overexposure during BTW Even she thinks the gay stuff damaged her, thats why she said recently she's not a "gay icon". she knows that hurts her. It took a while for it to sink in, it didn't happen right away. It doesn't matter what song she would have released after The Fame Monster Moron, any song would have been number one for weeks.

You seems to forget she made speeches and ended DADT during her most famous era (fame monsrer) so your point is moot. It was her wierdness during BTW (like judas and the horns and the egg and dressing up like a man) that turned people off, it had nothing to do with her social views. The gays got her to where she is.

Lady 748 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well, all this is just a serious reality check for Gaga and her team. Whatever that means then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well the last time this happened these "just predictions" got it right, they are almost never wrong. Not exactly. The last prediction came in at 240-250 and it ended up selling 260K, so it could go up some. Believe it or not, 70-80% is to be expected in today's current market, especially with those artists with big dedicated fan bases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteboi1327 84 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just like the lead single and the album, she didn't front load them. Applause has been in the top 10 for almost 4 months. That's really good despite its sales. Yes the album took a huge dive but they are working on promoting the album. There is a lot of competition right now. Her album will stabilize sooner or later and will sell decently. May not be as much as born this way but in the end it won't be a total flop. ARTPOP is a good album and has a lot of good songs but with all the competition it will take a while for the public to catch on. It's the thing to be against Gagas music right now. Eventually it will get old and people will grow out of it. Applause has been steady for months. It needs time to grow on people. Even billboard reviewers said some songs that weren't that great at first are growing on them. It's not an easily digested album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
