True.

Not good enough though.


Gaga (as aforementioned) is no longer a huge digital force.

I have confidence that will change in the future; however, for this era, we'll just have to lower our expectations a bit.

Really? I'm new to this stupid and unnecessary positions of iTunes , but isn't jumping from the low 200s to the top 50 a "good enough" impact?

I'm definitely here for "Americano". I know most of you are not here for it to be a single, but it's a smash waiting. I personally love it (I'm gonna be open for you guys) because right now, I'm having family problems. We are currently experiencing unjust decisions because of jealousy of our nationality. Well, it's not only our family but mostly all Filipino families here in Maryland (most of our parents are teachers). We're struggling here right now because the head of the Board of Education is a racist bitch. He decided to make things harder and our visa expires very soon so we have to be quick and move to other state or we go back to the Philippines (where we start over again with no money). It's very hard + I'm dealing with other problems like school and the truth about the real me. So this song to me is like my theme song of my life. It ***** on Born This Way, to be quite honest.

Aww. Ugh Americano should be a single though. It's like the second best song on the album.

Considering all the circumstances, yes.


However, considering this is the most "downloaded" artist of ALL time that we're talking about, and a high profile promo performance couldn't get a song but to the top 50 on iTunes says enough.

It's stating very clearly that the brand that Lady Gaga created and established has lost an intrinsic value, and it's unclear whether or not that value can be obtained again.

That loss in value has resulted in less radio airplay, less digital sales, less YouTube views, less album sales, etc,..


I'm not trying to be negative, be sure of that. However, I am being realistic in that it's become quite clear that Gaga has lost "steam."

I can't say that I'm surprised. However, I'm sure that her next album will be where this begins to transition from the declination that we're experiencing to a more upward trend in the aforementioned areas.

it jumped like at least 200 places though...i think it made a decent sized impact

is it the work or Gaga's lack of overexposed-ness that made her less of a digital force

Agreed. It was a decent impact. In fact I wasn't sure that the impact would be that great. Don't get me wrong.


I'm not entirely sure as to why she's less of a digital force.

I would say that it's more that the people have come to the decision that Gaga is simply not as interesting as she used to be overall. Not that people don't keep up with her or anything; however, the overall interest in Gaga is no where near at the level of TF/TFM era. That's to be expected in my opinion. She's done so much in a short amount of time. It was absolutely inevitable that she was going to lose some steam/influence/interest eventually.

She can recover from this, surely. The question remaining is will she recover, and that's a question only time can tell.

OMG, you pretty much sum up Gaga to a product.

Can we just stop worrying about all this and enjoy that our fave is doing great performances really often so we can enjoy?

She is a product. All artists are. I'm merely putting it in a business perspective.

Did I say I was worried? No.

Has Gaga made great performances? Yes.

Has it made an impressive impact? Yes and no.

p.s. If you think what I'm saying is negativity, I'd hate to see what you think about certain other posts I see all up in this thread.

I'll be so happy if it gets in the top 100 on radio impact day.

I don't know about anyone else but I understand what you are saying and I can see that very clearly. Since I've been following Gaga since at least the TFM era it's clear that the public no longer cares for Gaga as much as they did in the last 2 years. But I'm not surprised. To most people she has not evolved much since TFM (at least not in the direction they wanted) and has become a bit stale. But, whatever, to jump from 200s to #50 on iTunes is big enough for me. I really don't need to see her get another #1 this era.
