I know, its stupid just because its not an over-the-top hard-hitting dance track, that doesn't mean its generic. I've never heard a song like Gypsy before tbh.

Gypsy has a very generic instrumental.

Can we really define generic? Why is generic the most over-used word in all fanbases' vernacular? We made up the supposed generic sound in our minds. Every genre is a GENRE not generic. Katy Perry's bubblegum, pre-teen appealing music isn't generic, it is what I just stated before it. Gaga's music isn't generic, it is hard, electronic, or dance music. Each artist has a sound. Whether that sound is clear and distinct from others or blended into the majority of mainstream music at the time, it doesn't make them generic. Just my personal opinion.

Preach it!

No one should have to explain what it means. Non-original, vanilla, blends in, mainstream. Not everyone will hear a song the same, but I personally hear generic when I hear Gypsy. Does that mean it's a bad song? No.

Wow bobby (whatever her new manager's name is) and her team are doing a great job marketing her, great strategy.

 

 

Pricing for an album is set by the record label. The blame here would go to Interscope.

Rihanna wouldnt have Rude Boy and Where Have You Been if Def Jam was thnking about "humiliating" her by releasing another single after one or two flops

 

Rihanna is known for pumping out an album every year (with the exception of this last year) and for releasing single after single after single. She has so many flops, it doesn't matter if she gets another couple every year. That's standard for her.

 

Teams of people do all the work for her. She steps in the studio and sings and that's it. She's a different kind of artist than Gaga and her overall marketing strategy is very different from the majority of artists on major labels.

Gypsy has a very generic instrumental.

BS

Adele's 21 has the most generic instrumentals then.  No. Not at all.  Universal is probably the word you are looking for honey :}  Or maybe you'd like to provide me with examples of similar instrumentals to Gypsy   Love u sis but no.

That does nothing to change my mind lol. Why does everyone get so offended by that word? I think it's a great song, so people need to relax.

Rude Boy was a single from Rated R which was released two years after Good Girl Gone Bad. The era was doing as bad as ARTPOP till that single came along. I don't see why Gaga has to be different about follow up singles just cause she is a different kind of artist and usually promotes every song she puts out in various occasions up until G.U.Y. at least. All you need is radio, the rest promo is just extra help. So why not release a single, see if it sticks on radio and then film the video and do interviews and performances. Anyway I only recommended a fourth single for album sales so they could just make it a radio single only

I don't get offended. It's just not true in my opinion.  It has no ****ing chorus, that alone excludes the possibility of the song being generic   And 50% of the song is piano, how is that generic ? It's just piano.  But yeah I'm not going to try change your opinion so ..

I would have liked a fourth single as well, but only if it was Gypsy, but that shipped has sailed. There is a big lapse of time now since G.U.Y...it isn't happeneing!

Once again, Rihanna is different. The media seems to ignore her flops and radio doesn't care. They know she will just keep shooting them out until one sticks and they accept that from her, for some reason? I can't think of another current artist that gets this same consideration...and Gaga DEFINITELY doesn't! If Gaga has an underperformance, it's basically flashed across every media publication and follows her for months and years, no matter what she does.

Different artists...different expectations and reactions.
