& that's why she'll continue to fail.

Exactly. If she let people with real talent write for her, she could have delivered great albums after The Fame. Why the greed to write the whole song? she could've pulled a Beyoncé and just added some words here and there. Gaga is a terrible writer, to the point that the worst in her own songs are her lyrics.

Meh I want more than that. That's basically 4 numbers.
Hopefully she won't get pregnant when the album drops and cut the promo 2 months after release.

It would be Thiefcé her biggest promo, tho.
Just like old times.

But I thought it was only the Army that always tries the 'no/little promo' excuse

I'm a puppet on a string
Tracy island, time-traveling diamond
Coulda shaped heartaches
Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning
Years too late
She's a silver lining lone ranger riding
Through an open space
In my mind when she's not right there beside me
I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

Y'all can't use it because 4's promotional campaign was still bigger than any of Britney's since ITZ

Can we discuss on how these metacritic scores I see posted on every argument unfair?
Example, Xtina's scores:



How come they put Lotus and Bionic ahead of Stripped and only give a '69' to Back to Basics?

Back to Basics got what it deserved.
Stripped should have been higher. Dirrty was the first single and everyone bashed her for it, so I guess album's initial reception wasn't that good.

Katy is definitely doing 300k+

Maybe even 400k. Dont underestimate the power of the Teenage Dream carryover. We've seen the performance of Roar.

Yeah,Roar is doing extremely great, but her pre-order is kinda underwhelming.
I'm not saying she won't, the situation now is hard to figure out tbh.

I see it as a tribute, because Gaga copies at least one Madonna song each era, now we have Sex Dreams, that sound like something out of Erotica mixed with Kylie Minogue's 'Wow' melody. Gaga paying tribute to the real queens.

Yall better pre order ARTPOP

[Kworb]

DJ White Shadow slayed but Zedd and Madeon probably made the album unworthy of legal acquisition.

there's no way B2B only deserved 69, it deserves at least 75. It was extremely well produced and had great songs that you can hear to this day and acknowledge. They gave 70 to Beyoncé's Bday and 71 to Lady Gaga's Born this Way, those albuns were not better than B2B.
I feel like Xtina was a lot underrated in that era.

[Kh-Loud]

Swine production is amazing, but GAGA managed to ruin it with her messy vocal . I hope this bitch tame down her vocal on the album version. The ****ing lyrics though

[SOS]

Gag is kinda good at turning good production into noises

I can agree on this.
Too bad Urban don't use her

Artpop track titles are fine, I think it's safe to say these titles>>>>>> Werk Bitch.
