Subject: Is Lady Gaga peaking?

Written By: famemonster99 on 09/19/11 at 4:19 pm

I noticed how many people are tired of her especially with her stunt  at the 2011 VMAS.  In my 7th grade English class everybody was talking about how she's gonna go away, even my teacher. Do you think she'll fade away? It seems to me she's already in her peak.  I really hope she doesn't go away, we need great talent to last for this era! :)

I personally liked her best in 2009, but she's still pretty good.

It seemed like she peaked with Bad Romance/Telephone in late '09/early '10(at least to me), she could still be moderately popular if she can evolve with the times. Like Britney Spears for example has evolved from her late '90s teen-pop period, come of age with urbanpop in '01, changed to electropop/dance music from '07-'11 even though her peak was '99-'01.

In the future(say in 10 years) Lady Gaga's peak period might be seen as '09-'11.

Yeah, she will be moderately popular for many years to come.
I judge if an artist is popular by their youtube views and GaGa is doing poorly with her latest videos.

Oh yeah, but since he is the son of Brian Mulroney, he has to keep a clean cut image.  However, I bet once the cameras were off, he was like "Just between you and me, if I wasn't married, I'd be on you like a fly on a windscreen"

I think by 2013, a new flavor will take over.
If she hasn't peaked already, she will do so in the next 12 months.

Psst.  I'll let you in on a little secret.  The Internet?  Pop culture?

It's sorta like the Arthur C. Clarke's 1953 short story, The Nine Billion Names of God, which you really should read because it's awesome, even though it has (almost) nothing to do with this thread.

And me?  I'm just a monk, doing my part.

She's past her peak.  She has yet to top "Bad Romance" and likely never will.  Her peak was late 2009-early 2010.

Maybe from an artistic standpoint, but nobody is talking about her anymore.  Fun dance songs like Poker Face, Just Dance, and Bad Romance made her popular.

Wow, she peaked fast! Her peak was definitely late 2009 and the first half of 2010.

Lady Gaga made three critical errors in my opinion.

-She was obsessed with trying to "outdo" herself so much that she became redundant and predictable
-She overdid it in terms of pandering to the gay community, so much as to alienate her straight fans
-There was so much hype surrounding her "Born This Way" album and she simply failed to live up to the hype

I think she will definitely make a comeback, but ultimately will fail to top the Bad Romance era.  Bottom line is her fresh sound and look made her famous, and now that is worn and tired.

In my opinion, I think Gaga isn't peaking yet..but pretty soon. I think the whole crazy outfits/makeup thing is really holding her back. If you listen to the duet she did with Tony Bennett on his album, (or her other not-overly autotuned songs), you can tell she has a great voice. I am a huge fan of her stage show and being "shocking" to an audience, and not being afraid to be different than the other artists out there...but I think she should be more like my favorite artist, Alice Cooper (who is also a big Gaga fan), in the sense where she seperates her on stage persona and her off stage persona.

She has the talent to be a star for a long time, but trying to one-up herself is going to only disappoint future fans.

How has she not peaked?  "Born This Way" has not come close to the success of her previous two albums.  In 2009 and 2010, EVERYBODY was talking about Lady Gaga.  Now, nobody I know is talking about her except my gay friends which are still obsessed with her, and I believe Gaga will continue to be popular in that community for decades to come same as Madonna and Cher.  If she really hasn't peaked, she needs to prove it with her next album.  I actually was a big fan of her first two albums, but "Born This Way" has been nothing but a disappointment and a lot of people feel the same.

True, I like her old songs better compared to her recent hits. The only song I like from this album is "Edge of Glory" because she brought a very nice pop sensibility and the saxophone addition to the song makes it a classic one ;) Other songs seems to be overdone just saying

Yeah, I remember in late 2009 and the first half of 2010, Gaga was at her peak. Her 'Bad Romance', 'Telephone', and 'Alejandro' video was when she was at her peak.

Who knows? Maybe she'll have a comeback with her next album. She's talented enough and can sing and write songs. She just got lost along the way and
became too oriented towards one demographic (the gays). I have nothing against gays I'm just saying other demographics can't relate to her currently.

Yeah I have to agree, I preferred her earlier songs for the most part. She's talented but she seems so damn weird to me now rofl. Her videos lately scare me.  ;D

Anything that encourages "youthful independence" is "vulgar", and is a threat to "national cultural security".  It's not censorship, there's simply no distribution agreement that permits the tracks to be hosted.  Heh.
