They must mean in how both records didn't live up to sales expectations, although Bey didn't give up on her era midway through, nor did she ever complain about its lack of initial success.
If Bruno Mars can headline it with that snorefest then who knows. Right now Gagz doesn't like promo, so she wouldn't be doing it soon unless things change.
Neither Rihanna nor Katy (according to many people the biggest popstars in the world ) have performed yet, so why is it a big deal when it takes Gaga another few years? She'll definitely perform some day.
I mean... when Bruno Mars can perform, anything and anyone is possible
And to answer the question, no. But she needs to have a good era before she does it which could be ARTPOP in the end or the next era or the one after that. People will tune in for her. They know she's talented and will deliver a great performance. /End thread.
