Gagas Ballads slays Adeles tbh
Why wont Gaga release her Ballads tho?

I want her to be successful + make those killer songs she used to produce. Thats why I want her next album to be more radio friendly so she can be just as popular with the public as she was during TF/TFM era's.

But I can deal if they'll bring back ABBA.

She doesn't have to write ****ty songs. Bad Romance was huge, but it wasn't ****ty. Plus, she could make that speech at the gay rights rally. She doesn't need to mix her music with what she wants to fight for. By doing that, she alienates a lot of people. BTW (the song) alienated a lot of her straight, male fans, for example.

I don't think anyone is saying everything Gaga puts on an album has to be radio ready and begging to smash. I think they're saying don't create an entire album that doesn't have singles that can even sustain it.

Had Gaga put 3 of the 17 tracks that she released from BTW commercial (Well, she kind of put 2 BTW + TEOG), she'd been ok. She could have had 4/5th singles (something like YAI/MTN) and done her "version" of flopping, and the era would have been fine.

I think she will at some point. But the song needs to be something that Top 40 radio and the public will eat up

She needs to recapture that "cool girl you wanna party with" vibe.

Gaga's successful no matter how well her singles do. I honestly do not believe that she's ever going to get all goody-goody with the general public again. Though I feel her gay rights activism is amazing and I'm very proud of her for that, it has labeled her as the "gay popstar". It's no longer cool to like Gaga because she's "gay". She's that guilty pleasure that people love, but will never actually admit to loving. The only artist I can think of that hasn't crossed that kind of line is Rihanna. She's mainstream, yet she's still "cool" and people don't mind publicly admitting that they like her. As much as I hate to say this, Gaga is now in the same category as Justin Bieber when it comes to artists the GP is embarrassed to say they like.

I know what you mean, but...she still, somehow, has the 'pulling' power (kinda), like...she's not irrelevant in the slightest. I think if she comes back with a current, cool song with a sick beat and anthemic chorus, the public will eat it up and she'll get another #1. It's up to her though, if she carries on with the BTW sound on the next album, 80% of the public WILL lose interest.

Was Courtney Love onto something?

Adele and Katy are both taking breaks.
Madonna is 50.

You're exaggerating the situation.

Yeah I get what you mean 100%, we've just got to hope that she can turn it around...somehow. It's crazy to think that even this time last year Gaga still had that cool, fun, party girl image (minus the Alejandro image, of course)

Sis u forgot Xtina. Shes a flop she cant have #1 for sure

Ah, I didn't really think about that and that's a good point. I feel like she's afraid to do that. In her mind, you have to go all out and balls to the wall. She feels that if she doesn't allow her activism or her personal beliefs encompass everything she does, it's contrived or fake. I mean, like, for Gaga, she can't just write a song or speak out for equality, she has to do it all. Does that make sense?

It's really not. Her brand has always been geared towards the "Monsters" and that brand is stronger than ever. See book sales, first week sales, Barney's sales, ratings, etc. I mean, popstar brands normally cater to the people who will actually shell out the cash, and in Gaga's case, that's the Monsters. We must accept that #1 hits aren't going to come easy to her... they never have except for when she first started. Some of her biggest hits, as you know, didn't go number one. Let's hope for successful singles instead of #1s first. xD
