Oh, by the way, the August 19th performer for GMA's summer concert series still hasn't been announced.

Well... there are only a few more Fridays left before the VMAs so it has to be coming soon.

I think I'm more excited to see how promo is than to hear the music. I love the whole promo aspect of an era and how it all works.

The tayga break is a sign of LG5 happen this year. I believe it won't be long until the first single drops.

Need to release a week or two before Thanksgiving week so it can be discounted for Black Friday. She absolutely needs to do SNL as a host and musical guest again, as a regular watcher she brought it hard last time in an otherwise lackluster season.

If Fallon gets first single promo then throw in Colbert or Kimmel for second single performance/promo.

Gaga should definitely do carpool karaoke with James Corden and slay it to the heavens with special guests Cher and I guess Tony Bennett or else get an A-list actor(s).

UK-wise: Graham Norton with a performance is a given, and maybe an X-Factor performance. While in Europe, hit up France and Germany for performances if possible.

Spend a solid week in Japan doing TV shows there. Round it off with a week in Australia, a market she neglected with ARTPOP.

if i was her manager and knew they broke up i would have advised her too, to let the people know about it, ban it from future interviews and wait till it dies down a little bit and then release the single.

and don't come "well the media reported it so she had to confirm it".....WHO do you think leaked it to the media?

i see you bobby.

Honestly, If she doesn't release the single/mv next month followed by a performance at the VMAs, then she would be making a huge mistake. From now till the Grammys, VMAs are prolly the biggest/most hyped music show & a big promo spot. And the position that she is currently in, she should not miss out on that.

I really hope that they are actually planning a single release next month & are in talks with the VMAs for a performance slot.

I don't want her to randomly drop the single in Oct/Nov. And if she's not gonna release next month, then she can just wait till the Grammys.

(all your points are great)

but what if she brought beyonce into the car and they finally performed telephone

lmao let me dream.

Carpool karaoke is a must. And it better be amazing.

cue: but vma's have no impact on sales posts....blabla.

it's not just about the vmas.....its about gma, vma, iheart music festival, apple/itunes festival.....all coming in the next few weeks. i doubt she doesn't want to promote the album so this is like really the best time to release it.

Good lord though. If she DOES do all those promo spots. The public would NOT be ready.

Right. And it's not about a "sales boost,"...for Gaga right now, it's about being seen & heard.

The month of August is her best option to release new music if she really wants to make an impact again & have people take notice. SO many great promo opportunities coming up & she should take advantage of a few, if not all.

All I know is I'm prolly gonna have a massive meltdown if doesn't perform at the VMAs. I'm gonna be livid.
