am i the only gaga fan a little bit confused by the 'art pop' era?

I was so expecting more single releases with videos
then the tony collab jazz album
then an album reboot with an additional part 2?

so many songs could be so linked with art based videos:
mary j holland - girl with pearl earing
sexx dreams - scream/dahli/ pop art - marilyn monroe
artpop - prequel to the art pop video: cupid - michaelangelo

I think everyone was confused with the ARTPOP era.

It's quite weird to say because the fame era lasted nearly 2 years (incl TFM) yet here we are announcing it over

I will still say though, that album has good songs. I prefer it to BTW.

Lol I just posted in the Britney thread how I wished Femme Fatale had a similar promo to Marina and the DIamonds Electra Heart style...a year beforehand....but I also think ARTPOP could have had a similar style.....videos to tell a story with the songs and each one allowing radio circulation too and airplay.....would have benefitted the album without everything happeneing at once and confusing everything.

Pop seems to be at a very bizarre place...when you are a big name like Madonna, Britney, Rihanna, gaga, first week sales are always front heavy.....but its like you have to fight to ensure the album sustains or it completely bombs.

While I am not a fan...Beyonce with her surprise album was a novelty really....but alas in the long run....it has hardly done any better in comparison to her contemporaries.....there needs to be a knack in how to do it....we shall just have to wait and see.

I just hope the Jazz break allows for Lady vaga to find herself creatively with her new management etc.

Have any of you guys went to the artRave?

I went to the artRave in Glasgow last week and came home very happy. I thought she put on a great show. The stage set up was amazing and I liked that you could see the band. They weren't hidden away. Her dancers were good and with her costume changes you never really noticed that she was off stage. Her voice was very powerful and she performed "You and I" which is my favourite song by her so I was thrilled about that

I went last night. I've managed to see every tour including support act roles so far.

Hey guys! I haven't posted in here for ages. I FINALLY saw her on Sunday at The 02, and it was incredible. She sounded (and looked) great, and I agree with MissAyrshire about her dancers and band-it was really good that they were at the forefront and she has great chemistry with all of them. I really enjoyed it!

I'm so excited to be seeing Gaga & Tony Bennett at the Royal Albert Hall next year!

Tony Bennett and Lady GaGa cheek to cheek 11.55pm Friday 19 December BBC One

Winter Wonderland ---- The new single by Gaga and Tony

Ok so I know we arent to expect new music from Lady gaga until 2016 (which is understandable!)

But what I have loved is she has been hanging out with Mark Ronson (again, they used to hang out in 2008/9) and THE Nile Rodgers (Madonna - Like a Virgin album, Chic, Bowie - Lets Dance/Black Tie, White Noise albums) recently with her Bennet promo tour.....my gosh!

That hit me...what if she really worked with those guys on album 4? That way all the fans she has gained with the Cheek to Cheek stuff...plus her fanbase who know her for her Pop star stuff...why not bring them aboard for a Electronic/Funk/Soul/Jazz influenced album with those guys in 2016? I can see that working...with new management...that would be so cool.

Just an idea.

So so impressed and happy with Gaga's oscar performance. I thought she sounded wonderful - great tone and control and really showed everybody her voice. She looked beautiful and happy too!

A great night for Gaga, and for me the musical highlight of the show!

How come there is no Lady Gaga love on this forum? I know she isn't popular like she once was but its like everyone has forgotten she even existed.

Gaga is the queen

re-listening to art pop ... I still adore 'art pop'; 'sexx dreams'; 'aura'; 'applause'
was there an art pop vol 2? Will it be released?
loved here message of support for Bruce Jenner

Omg @ not many people here

Crazy, isn't it?

Get ready Gaga fans! Perfect Illusion is out this Friday thanks to an announcement on her official Twitter

seriously worried where the appreciation has gone?

I like the original gaga and for me perfect illusion rides that train. I'm not keen on the shakes repetitive moments in the video but the video look and style is perfect.

She gets so much hate in the Music forum...it's like people just want her to fail

I was thinking the exact same! Perfect Illusion is a decent song and I enjoy it

People wanting a direct return to The Fame days need to realise artists develop and change direction.

A few people I know have said it reaching #12 in the charts is good for this day and age, especially with iTunes being covered in dance club songs!

i agree but i am so surprised that it has gone down to 44!
So sad for the state of charts - the formula of sales to streams doesn't seem right.
