My ideal scenario (beyond everything smashing etc.):
- ARTPOP does ok (3/4ish million in the end). DWUW becomes a big hit and Gypsy continues non-flashy, but respectable era success. Sexxx Dreams ends the campaign with a moderate, but talked about hit.
- Cheek to Cheek wins back critics and gives her positive press. "Despite everything, Gaga is still one of the most talented popstars and we'd like to see more of this".
- Tours CtC with Tony for 20 dates or so.
- Collaborates with Jay Z on his upcoming album for a GP-popular urban smash.
- ARTPOP 2 comes out in August with major collabs, hitmakers and a very slick strategy. No messing around.
- ARTPOP 1+2 tour begins alongside AP2 to aid international exposure.
- Terry X Gaga film becomes YouTube feature and HBO special with a few cinematic screenings in NY/LA/LDN.
Bonus:
- Film GYPSY with Barbra Streisand at some point.
- Host VMAs? Could be interesting.
- Somehow get involved with the Tony Awards with a tribute performance or something to impress the older gays.
are you sayinf AP part 2 comes out august 2014? isnt that a bit early.. November seems the earliest it would happen.
other than that, it seems like a perfect era/next few years, but many of the ideas are a bit too far fetched to get excited for (jay z, the tony bennet tour)
"G.U.Y." instead of "Bad Romance"
"Mary Jane Holland" instead of "Alejandro"
"Applause" instead of "Monster"
"Dope" instead of "Speechless"
"Gypsy" instead of "Dance in the Dark"
"Aura" instead of "Telephone"
"Do What U Want" instead of "So Happy I Could Die"
"Swine" instead of "Teeth"
I can't explain how i feel everytime a listen to Gypsy. I think its more than just a good pop song. I can imagine pictures of the most important moments of my life everytime i heard that song. Its an incredible feeling. BEST SONG OF ARTPOP
