Mark Ronson is a great producer who has potential to get Gaga hit singles this era. Ronson > DJWS

It would have been cool if Gaga was on Lean On instead of MO. But hey, we stil have Tony Bennet.

She was really big in my country during TFM + the beginning of BTW era too but eventually people stopped talking about her for some reasons & the fact that it's been years since she has had an big hit doesn't help either. I mean, the sad truth is no matter what you do as a singer, you'll always need hits from time to time to be remembered & relevant or else new faces are just gonna show up took your spotlight. This has me worried mostly because I don't know if she still has the drive to be super popular again & having a successful comeback into the pop scene or she's just too busy swinging around different projects and just toss her pop career to the side. It also depends on whatever she's putting out though. I hope her new music is gonna click with the GP this time. Her lead single better not pull a Pills n Potions sized flop

Honestly I'll be content with Judas numbers.

I don't see Gaga smashing either.

But I see her having a nice well-executed acclaimed era with good sales in a best case scenario. I don't see her being a big streaming force tbh.

Honestly I cant see her smashing with funk music - thats Ronson's style right?

You could say funk is Ronson's style but we don't know what Gaga x Ronson's style is yet.

Just like how RedOne's style is terrible but it's something completely better when it's Gaga x RedOne.

She just needs to have her promo game on point. If she only performs at award shows then that won't really help. She's a household name but not enough to rely on hype. She needs to do tv appearances/performances too. I'm not asking for a Fame/Born This Way era type of crazy promotion schedule but something like Taylor Swift's 1989 era promo would be cool and helpful.

[Phoenixstar]

She's a bit over, isn't she?
I pray she'll pull thru (bobby obvs, she's just stupid anyway)

[Ramos]

A Cheek To Cheek promo schedule at the very least would be cute.

I liked how they used different mediums to promote the music & it worked.

She lost her chance at the beggining of the year. There will be even more competition at the end of the year.

RedOne is a pop producer, the other one is a funk/jazz producer. Never heard any actual pop produced songs by him. His most recent single was released 4 months ago and it sounds

Also,IMO promo nowadays has become a little useless( talking about live performanceses) unless its the Grammys or another big event. No matter how much you promote a song, if its not clicking with the GP, it aint gonna work (see Marry the night). Gags needs to ensure that the songs have big pop choruses, nice melodies, smooth and good productions, great hooks and great videos. And by great videos, I mean videos that are not trailers for an exorcism movie or smth.

Venus and Gypsy are the best songs on Artpop though along with Mary Jane Holland and DWUW



Gypsy had so much potential to be become a worldwide smash. It's basic and generic (which is not a bad thing) and the lyrics are relatable. It would have had a smashing video too

well they're both a part of the trashiest songs in her discography.

RedOne stans thinking Mark is just a funk producer. Living in a bubble, I see. RedOne wishes he was as versatile as Mark Ronson.

of course they are gonna shoot around her schedule. but i want her to focus on one thing and not shoot ahs, finish lg5 and promote lg5, shoot ahs etc........she is gonna be exhausted then.

that's why i hope she is not in it much.

Has anyone thought of the possibility that the album's near completion and that's why she's comfortable with moving forward with filming? She did say herself she wanted to solely focus on LG5, so doesn't that mean the album's near completion if she's moving onto a new project?

I've always wondered if Gaga is still considered "cool" with young people in the US? I mean, I figured the older audience musta loves her mature side with all the Jazz & tribute performances but I don't know what the perception of young people in the US about her is. To a typical, non music stan, Is her image still associated with us gays??

Despite what any stan says, very few pop girls are considered "cool". It's probably mainly Rihanna and Beyonce that are considered "cool". But being "cool" literally doesn't mean anything. I don't get why stans think you have to be cool to sell when the public does not care who or what you are if your music is good to them. .

Not really. Many artists have waved goodbye to their former image and changed the way the GP saw them.

Like someone mentioned Justin Bieber...he changed his image and made hits + a great selling album. A great comeback overall.

Also Selena Gomez kinda changed her image, made good singles and now the GP loves her.

Being ''cool'' makes it easier for the listener to actually become interested in your music and also your image. You can create a hit but if you don't sell your image. Wave goodbye to your career. @gaga

[Nido]

We just need her to deliver a #1 smash hit that everyone can enjoy. You can push a song that is "single worthy" to you all you want but if the GP isn't feeling it then it won't get you anywhere. That's what happened with the tragedy that is Marry The Night. I'd take me a shallow bussy popping club song that smashes everywhere any day over an over-the-top song with some over complex lyrics that most people can't remember to sing along to when they're in their cars or at the clubs

The GP still doesn't like Justin Bieber. Go to any comment section on any article about him. What made his album sell was the fact that is was a really good album with really good singles. And no one cares about Selena Gomez. Again, they like the music but she's had no impact like Bieber.

At the end of the day, it's all about the music. The cool factor means nothing, otherwise ANTI would have sold more than "Cheek To Cheek" and "LEMONADE" would be past 2m in WW sales, which it isn't.

Not even #1 singles are all that important.

'Work' was #1 for, like, two months and Rihanna is struggling to sell out arenas and ANTI had to be bought by Samsung to sell.

It takes a collection of good songs to sell an album. If those good songs are pushed to radio and promoted, the album will sell.
