To be fair to Gaga, the industry has been cruel to Katy and Miley and Avril as well. Albums really are dying out unless you are Eminem, Beyoncé, or Frozen.

how many times are we going to say "Hopefully she's back on track and has her **** together" for the next era

Wait, so that interview where she said her next record would be "ARTPOP's naughty sister" is fake? nooooooo!!

I've been saying from the beginning that Act II has been finished for awhile, she's just putting on the finishing touches now. She's been in the studio a lot these past 2 months.

She's had this entire era planned out from the beginning, sans the Troy mess that ****ed everything up. I hope she's able to carry out her vision exactly how she sees it now.

nnnnn not sure how much I trust that considering Swine and Sexxx Dreams and Aura's album edits. The less time she has, the more creative she seems to be. But I'll take anything so I guess it's whatever to me lol.

Hm. Honestly, as much as people want to call the era a flop, it STILL hasn't been a commercial loss to her or to Interscope, so I'm sure she can now execute her plans rather freely.

Not terrible at all.

It's fake but it doesn't necessarily mean all of it is untrue

We have bigger problems if Gaga is in charge of the marketing...



Hopefully ARTPOP showed them that when it comes to promotion, you have to yell louder than everyone else to get peoples attention. After the relentless BTW launch, they really kept it relatively minimal...which doesn't really work when your peers are competing with lorries, scandals and surprise stunts.

the fact that this is kinda true

nn quick someone hack her computer and leak act 2 so she has to have a pop emergency before she has time to *perfect* the album

[MissedTheTrain]

Seriously though, everyone I know loved DWUW. And that's rare for a Gaga song (or any Pop song tbh).

I'm bopping to Swine

agreed. with BTW everyone complained that she was overexposed big time, so they took that to heart & listened and they did the exact opposite. Hopefully they learn from the ARTPOP promo strategy too and find a happy medium next time

Listening to the DWUW remix EP for the first time and hot damn. Can we just send all these to radio? Like, this is her best since Alejandro, at least so far. Maybe better.

I kind of agree

[slobro]

I need a video and song that just screams "I'm reclaiming the throne whether you like it or not" to happen someday. Like J.Lo's On The Floor

[Skywalker]

The huge marketing blitz was Born This Way worked, it was the terrible imagery that had the huge backlash. It could still work tbh as long as she doesn't look like Satan.

I know! I thought they were all excellent, especially some of the Christina ones.

Let's all hope act 2 won't cost 15 $ cause nobody seems to be here for that price

then it needs not have 15 songs plus a standard/deluxe

Well, Troy and Interscope said from the beginning that the plan for this era was longevity, and there was a reason for that. I don't think they had these month long blackouts in mind, but Gaga doesn't want another BTW - she wants this era to last awhile. It's like her baby.
