This is actually a nice way to put it.
However, so many people, like Vin, seem to think that is a bad thing. That because she won't blow everyone away again like she did when she first blew up, it means that the public doesn't care about her anymore. No, it means that she is now a part of pop culture and has made a name and place for herself.

The delusion in this thread is hilarious, Gaga has only gotten more famous due to BTW.
Did your fave had a Thanksgiving special all to herself, did she get to drop the New Years Ball, did she get respected by Oprah/Obama/Clinton
...No

Again, that's cute, but what I was responding to was "this one ,and that one, and this one have peaked, Gaga has [not 'will have'] longevity". That's all.

Do I need to send you the link of Gaga talking with Obama or Hilary Clinton? What about the letter she received from the White House for speaking out against DADT? Obviously "political figure" was a bit of an exaggeration.

She's one of the world's most powerful artist/influential people on the planet. She's made political view points and she's fought for them so to called her a political figure isn't a reach.

As others have said, she's probably "peaked" because TFM was massive, but that doesn't translate into her fading away or being any less of a presence in the industry. Similar things can be said about Adele, it's highly unlikely that she'll ever top what's happened to her in 2011/2012, but that doesn't mean that she'll just go away unless it's of her own choice.
As long as Gaga wants to be relevant, she'll be relevant.

It's not impossible, however I don't see it happening. If her music appeals to a wider audience and people eat it up, maybe.

It's kind of sad in some ways to think she'll never be able to outdo that era because the success of it was so meteoric that it's hardly matchable, but not many people can say that they achieved what she did in one era - which is something Gaga will take with her no matter the course her career follows.

Pretty much.
Like Britney she entered and took over. She owned her first three years. But only time will tell for sure.

Fact is she said it! Whether she said it to the fans or the press, it makes no difference.

These threads should really be immediately closed until Gaga offers her next album.

I believe it's the opposite of sad. That kind of impact is what sets someone up for a lifetime of success. It's the type of thing that only happens to an artist every decade or so. It's kind of like nature crowning them as the next big thing. It was huge and it won't happen again, but it still happened and you can't take that away from her.

Actually, it does. You can take anything out of context and make it look like it's something that it's not.
You're not a Little Monster, therefore that quote does not apply to you and you shouldn't try and use it as leverage.

But she said it would be the album of the decade ''just for you'' (her fans)

Britney was a global phenomenon that permeates 'til this very day our cultural fabric, she was the Icon of a complete generation, She attained Pop Royalty status, Gaga may had been able to reach Britney's level of impact and longevity if she had not relied on the antics so heavily, for that mistake she made the public turn against her too early in her career, it was not time yet for a backlash, yet she brought it on herself.

Her talents lay outside of singing and dancing, the latter most of your faves can't even do.
She's not a traditional popstar. Im sure someone is going to tell me im reaching but she's up there with the david bowies, elton john's, freddie mercury's, billy joel's. She's a technician. And im not even a true Gaga stan(im surprised im defending her like this) but she's clearly different and she's here to stay. She will continue to re-invent herself and be a staple in Music. Deal.

I really don't see how the public has turned against her.
She had an era where she didn't go #1 on pop songs except for the lead.
I think you can look at many of Britney's songs (even excluding Britney) and you'll find that not EVERY Britney single went #1 on pop songs.
And you can't say it's cause Gaga has no more #1 singles; she's gotten 1 of her 3 #1s in her "worst" era.
