She should go and make an album with a theme then. I'm glad she loves ARTPOP and I'm really glad she brought it to life with artRAVE because that was the perfect celebration for this album, but she needs to either have a theme that she can easily make music for (like The Fame Monster) or just go off the edge and give us some heartfelt **** you pop music that'll scalp all the haters.
I'm really hoping she'd lay off the self biographical songs about her and Donatella versace , and nonsensical lyrics that throw people off, and give us some heartfelt songs that are relatable (with a smidgen of Gaga'ish lyrics of course )
I wonder what the original Applause lyrics were. I doubt the "One second I'm a koons then suddenly the koons is me" was actually on there back in 2012.
That's true too, and it's evident that she can overthink. BTW the album is proof of that. In this case though, it's like the theme of the album is non-existent throughout the songs. Instead of just saying "My album is based on a really big party and you're invited to listen" she just said "my ARTPOP could mean anything" Which I guess, art CAN mean anything you want but . The title/song set wouldn't even be that bad if it made sense with the songs.
I agree - IMHO, I don't think that the official version of ARTPOP is what Gaga originally wanted, and her saying 'my ARTPOP could mean anything' is a way of covering herself (not that I'm calling her a fraud). The lack of cohesion in the album as you described is evident enough of that.

Judging by everything else that she put out/teased in 2012, something like
One second they bowing down to ya
suddenly their knees bent for me
The fact that this woman has the ability to literally "Mortal Kombat FINISH HA!!" On these hoes and still hasn't. Just hold on girls, I still have hope.
I feel like she just can't function without a SET theme. Like she had one, SOMETHING made it change and then everything kinda went down hill. So she just recorded a bunch of random songs and threw them together very sloppily.
This we never really knew what the theme was, apparently N E THING and NOTHING at the same time

No they weren't. I knew them at one point. I think one of those Twitter accounts posted them before, but I can't remember. I just know the verses were totally different, because Applause was one of the original songs she did before the whole art Koons theme
I hate that the documentary they were planing to release has no chance of seeing the light now , they would have definitely released it if the era was great and there was enough hype to launch it

She definitely does. There's just no way Katy and Miley and all the other girls can outlast ha. Gaga will comeback and snatch all the weaves. We just gotta hold on til then
Her next album will be like TFM 2.0, centering around the rise and fall and tragedy of celebrities. Like each TFM song was the fear of a certain monster, it'll be centered around one celebrity that either died or just experienced a build up to tear down from the media
Like for instance,
The Fame Kingdom
1. Sire - The MJ Kingdom
2. ??? - Anna Nicole Smith
3. ??? - Marilyn Monroe
4. ??? - Whitney Houston
5. ??? - Britney Spears
6. ??? - Amy Winehouse
7. ??? - Heath Ledger
8. ??? - Kurt Cobain
9. ??? - The Kennedys
10. ??? - James Dean
11. ??? - John Lennon
12. Princess Die - Princess Diana
13. ??? - Herself
Now obviously a lot of these themes would be looser than others, some would just relate to their story, or their style of music etc. rather then being directly about them. I think its a pretty cool idea, the whole era would be dark and twisted old hollywood theme.

she can get whatever big shot producer with a snap of her hand and commence making a radio friendly , hallow album crafted only to seek chart success , but she somehow doesn't , I deep down want her to conform and do it but I still don't like the thought of her putting her visions aside and turning into one of the many flavorless pop girl
I agree, something set off her thematic. She definitely hinted about the phoenix rising above the ashes and then the decay, and then suddenly she was the phoenix buried in the ash
Yeah, I think she tried the "phoenix rising" theme twice (the first was the super sad "decay of the blonde" version; the second was the acid Disney Princess trap/EDM fierce theme we were supposed to get before the album was delayed), but her label rejected it both times. I don't blame her for not being able to come up with an amazing collection on her 3rd attempt.

If she actually did this, then the G.U.Y. video would actually have been a great end to this era and lead into that era. I kind of like the decay theme. I just hope she does something with it someday. After all the **** she's gone through this era, I need The ARTPOP Monster to slay us all
