has been a very current trend of late....fans doing the promo for favourite artists which enters the media.
I think it is a testament to the power of their names too....like Madonnas recent campaign is a very anti-campaign and thus far has been a record breaking success. Now with gaga she is doing these comments, hints etc talking to fans etc....very alternative-campaign and it gets it out there in the public eye tbh. It is very interesting....its almost anti-establishment...very intriguing. Alas, I don't go on littlemonsters.com often, it bores me actually though I'll go on a bit more with the fighting hope I get into a chat with the lady herself, then I'll report back

Yeah it's a hit and miss for me, hopefully this won't get too out of control this time around, the main point of the album for me is Gaga getting back some casual listeners and opening the field back up again

I don't tend to go on there too often either but I was having a look at the things Gaga has liked; some of the fan art and outfit designs are fantastic!

Gagadaily is getting worse since they removed gifs. I like the new layout though.
Have a LM account, hardly ever use it because the homepage is just full of soft porn. |

All artists should understand promo is important, was hoping Gaga would perform on X Factor again this year but it's looking very unlikely, still if the first single gets released end of this year there's a shot
I haven't been on daily in a while I forgot my password some of the pics on lm.com annoy me, lad posting pics of themselves kissing their boyfriends, I think, "who cares??" it's nothing to do with Gaga reallylike i discussed with MCA on the Madonna AT...its been such a strange trend ever since Christina with Bionic really...album campaigns have been so so off the radar its been unreal! Relying on names alone to promote...obvious standouts being gaga and her massive campaign per single approach and Beyonce for doing glasto and leaking her album a month before release (genius Bey...just genius......) and yeah...but its horrible for a TA to see these kids showing pics like that :sleep: |

It's funny that someone as massive as Gaga is just chatting away to her fans on a daily basis.
I wonder if the media at large are even aware of the amount of personal tidbits, spoilers for the upcoming album and comments on this and that she dilvulges on that site. They've awarded headline news to things much more mundane than some of the stuff she comes out with on that. I quite like it though. She's giving the fans what they want but not involving the general public, so hype/info can be dealt out to those who care without spoiling her break between albums much. |

toanythingtaboo- I like this idea too. That there's a place for hype for those who want it - lets face it, Gaga encourages this in her fans pretty much - yet still maintaining her media blackout in terms of no interviews, photoshoots, award show appearances.
Tara tweeted the other day that Gaga's doing something massive to launch her perfume, tongue-in-cheek saying it'll steal the VMAs thunder. I wonder... Also is there a link anywhere for the confirmation that ArtPop is the new title? I'm not sure I believe this chat room thing, only 5 ppl online?? Also doesn't she normally get a tattoo based on her album rather than the actual name so boldly printed? Like BTW, whilst printed (I think!) was on a unicorn I think. Perhaps it's a clue rather than a title? |

Perhaps it's a clue rather than a title? I won't 100% believe it's the title until she explicitly announces it. Too much hearsay and even within the chat it can be hard to track what exactly she's saying. I think ARTPOP has the makings of an iconic album title though, and I'd love if she adopted Candy Warhol as the era persona...living out the ultimate blonde icon from glamorous rise to fame to the ultimate decay. |

I love the idea of her perhaps living out the pop fame decay in a kinda dark, popart arena! The idea of her replicating the death of Monroe, the fall of so many greats and the appreciation of legends after their death is a taboo subject but she could do wonders.
Anyways...playing Born This Way album today as i do my room and my wall...well start my wall anyways wahooo!!!Ameeeeehhhriiicaaaa!!!! |

and look what i stumbled upon today looking around....can you imagine the hysteria around this headline! So sad
![]() https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n..._7488839_n.jpg It just fits the decay kinda symbolism....but also it reflects the appreciate what you have because you dont know what you have until its gone

It's a great electropop record I loved her promo strategy of being everywhere but I think she should have toned it down with releasing so many things at once and focussed on flogging two singles at a time rather than so many! That world domination style promo is exactly what I want all my fave artists to do but not so much music at once, I get that it gives people a flavour of the album all the different sounds but slow down next time girl! I really hope this theme of the decay/death of a star/legend is what the next concept is, that darker side of Fame would make for a really interesting concept! Quite warming to the idea of Artpop as the title, could really be onto the money there! I'm looking forward to it

I will wait to see and hear what she does with the concepts and what the sounds are but it sounds like it will be something truly powerful focusing on these taboo aspects of fame and culture etc from her point of view...Madonna has done it, MJ has done it, Britney has done it now gaga is gonna do it for the 10s....will be itneresting... |

god yes, Americano, Schiesse, Heavy Metal Lover, Electric Chapel, Hair, Hooker, Edge, and BLOODY MARY those songs really have stood the test of time for almost 15 months of being out there those are the ones that have grown.

I'd love Gaga to take that jazz that she's utterly fantastic with and mesh it in with another genre, would really be something! A fine tracklist whilst you've been making that IDOL wall! Looking forward to seeing the final results, you should post your work! I'm looking forward to seeing Lady Gaga in this new Machete Kills film, sounds bonkers and fun! |

it's incredible in a sense how underrated Born this Way is, the songs you've mentioned really are timeless and still very refreshing now which is such a great credit to Gaga and the producers.

Really really great think actually fast becoming a fave of all time (though will take some to be on Like A Prayer level, but certainly on ROL, Erotica, COADF level!) And yeah i didnt like Machete tbh...i mean grindhouse by Rodriguez and Tarantino was EPIC...Death Proof and Planet Terror and Machete was a fake trailer inbetween both films...EPIC film (deffo must check it out guys if you havent seen it!) but machete i felt let it down a bit...so i hope gaga does well with it...tbh she will suit an absurd comicy role, i think we had discussed it before but unsure. |

When I hear 'ARTPOP' I picture paint splattered everywhere like in Nicki Minaj's Roman Reloaded album covers.
And 'ARTPOP' makes me think Bubble Pop Electric by Gwen Stefani.

It is funny how BTW is simultaneously overrated and underrated. Much like Gaga is herself.
I hope people will look back on it with new eyes and appreciate the good in it because there are genuine pop gems there. You win some, you lose some I guess and the music will always be there for those who love it and ready for people to (re)discover it in future. |

I really hope she gets her imagery, colour schemes, that kind of thing spot on this time.

I wonder what the album cover going to be like, I actually liked the BTW cover I know it was awful but it hit the so bad it's good thing with me, plus the reaction over it was pretty funny. But hopefully she'll go for something slightly less bizzare this time around.
