How Gaga Saved her Career after Artpop

[@latinoburger123]

Her career needs to be studied, it’s just FASCINATING, she literally fit an entire lifetime career into a decade

[@jonnyharvey]

That’s a good way of putting it. She put 10 years of pop into her first year IMHO

[@lrav2000]

There should be a class course on Gaga.

[@joshuaswaby8933]

I will never forget the Oscar performance moment like twitter was in a DEEP shock that night . People were apologizing to Gaga that night , saying “I didn’t know Gaga had these pipes” to “that was Gaga ?!?” . Even the LM was shocked . It was very much a shift in her career and I was very glad to witness it.

[@anotherone_yt]

I wouldn’t say LM were surprised, I felt like the general sentiment amongst the fandom was more like “told ya…” 😂 We weren’t used to that type of performance that’s true, but we knew she had the pipes to do that. Still, the perception towards her shifted massively after that performance and I’m happy more people are realizing so by looking back.

[@CrystalSki67]

I've been a massive fan since '09 and even I was SHOOKETH on my floor after that performance. Of course it was gonna be good, but it was next level!

[@jonnyharvey]

Social media went crazy

[@Gert-c2b]

I still find it ridiculous that people did not pay Gaga attention for her vocals from day one. She was top of the vocal game, very publicly, since 2009. Maybe ‘Speechless’ should’ve been a single.

[@stabithatv]

It's weird how people measure the records success against previous successes. I don't think Artpop was ever supposed to be as accessible as the other records. And Joanne was one of the best records of its genre that we've seen this century, it's just not as popular of a genre as pure pop.

[@rickybatungbakal9614]

One word. TALENT. She’s so talented and people started to recognized it after Artpop.

[@kevinlove6974]

Love the analysis . So lets be clear, Artpop was not a Flop, it was unfairly compared to her magnum opus born this way. How does a number 1 album worldwide become a flop.

[@jonnyharvey]

I never said it was a flop!!! Critics called it a flop

[@terrellskrine6426]

Your cadence in the beginning made it seem like you were saying it was a failure.

[@drewskie20100]

It wasn’t a complete bomb but come on, it was a “flop” compared to her standards at the time. it was still a decently successful era at the time but her momentum was so high after Born This Way, ARTPOP doing way smaller numbers overall definitely slowed things down for her career, which is why it’s technically viewed as a “flop”.

[@tylerdavis8648]

one thing you are forgetting is that in-between Artpop and Cheek to Cheek, she started to pop up doing covers, like for Carol King, John Lennon, Sting, and Stevie Wonder. This really helped establish her talent and gained her so much respect with the older generations of music.

[@jonnyharvey]

okay - my video ends in 2019. Just checking those performances now. I should've included a few of them - I will take that on board. But I've never claimed my video are entirely comprehensive - they take a lot of time and sometimes certain details get left out.

[@warrenmacdonald3463]

Gaga managed to play the long game and stage a comeback based off of her diverse and immense talents at the heart of it all, and with A Star is Born really triumphed and it's very admirable. I'm convinced she will always be famous, beloved and relevant simply because she is so talented and naturally charismatic and no one can take that away from her

[@jonnyharvey]

yes I agree. She's going to be an all-time great. True - she played the long game.

[@jonnyharvey]

BTW just to clarify, I'm a huge fan of the Artpop album. I think it's a really solid record and had lots of potential singles on it. ***** I never call Artpop a flop in the video, I say 'critics called it a flop'. Critics. Not me. I do not consider it a flop. Just forgot to mention that in the video 😀

[@ryanappleton3653]

ArtPop is in my eyes a solid album too. She had strong competitors with Katy Perry (Prism) Miley Cyrus (Bangerz) Beyonce (Beyonce) Avril Lavigne (Avril Lavigne) and Britney Spears (Britney Jean) that year. If ArtPop was managed better, it would've had better respect from the general public

[@gabbyb7347]

[@piikapiika]

Her TRIBUTE phase was also a huge part of her rebrand and was like a stepping stone. She went out booking every tribute gig that time (Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Julie Andrews, David Bowie etc). That phase should be separated from Tony Bennett collaboration and although some were mentioned, I just think it's worth pointing out.

[@jonnyharvey]

[@hausofjohan]

Looking back on ARTPOP 10 years laters it have put a lot of things into perspective. It soundtracked the last year of my true innocence as a young adult. It provided me great catharsis at the time going through my first breakup. The music was as chaotic as i felt inside. Her life seemed to have been pretty chaotic at the time too, having had to cancel her born this way ball tour due to the hip injury that haunts her to this day, and her manager as you mentions having left her before the era started. ARTPOP was an end to an era. She never have returned to being who she was then or before it. She threw everything at us to see what would stick it felt like at times, all very ambitious concepts. I followed her every step at the time. It was a lot of fun to wake up to new photos of her stepping out of hotels with eccentric outfits on a daily basis. The R Kelly situation was so weird. At the time his crimes were played down to a great deal. We were in a strange period culturally in the early 2010s. It would’ve never occurred post this year. G.U.Y is the hit that got away that if having been part of a better received album and era, it would’ve been a huge song I believe. Do What You Want was building up to be a big hit. I wish after the R Kelly debacle that they would’ve relaunched the single with the Xtina version and had them make a video for it. Could’ve been a huge moment for the both of them and a nice way to make a bigger public peace statement between them after P*re*z H*lt*n* having torn Xtina apart during Bionic. Joanne remains my least favorite album in Gaga’s discography. She needed to make a studio album like it at the time but who she had turned into felt unrecognizable. Like she had left her core gay fanbase behind in a way to pursue acting and more “credible music” andI felt incredibly betrayed at the time. I loved her Oscars performance Sadly in the music industry women always have to prove their talent and with this performance apparently a lot of people realized she can sing. It’s so silly when some male artists don’t even have half of the vocal capabilities of some female performers but we never hear their talents being questioned. Chromatica brought me back. It was a return to the dance floor that i never thought we’d get. So I really revauled in that to a 100 %. Other artists had replaced her with providing the pure dance pop that i needed up til then. I’ll think Gaga will become more of a Cher to our generation than a Madonna, in that she will stick around, have her big moments in both music and acting. She’s born to be an entertainer, a star! 💫

[@JoshPinder92]

The trouble is as a pop artist 2008-2013 she oversaturated and believed her own hype she became the biggest target in so many ways ... ARTPOP was chaotic in every single way and it was so traumatic for her ... And after that GAGA as a pop artist died and she won't ever get back to that level and thst perfectly fine as you say here she expanded her palette in music areas and wanted to garner acclaim and praise for being an authentic actor and performer over pushing for album sales and number 1's I'm proud of her ...she didn't reignite her career in the way fans may have wanted but she really came full circle with chromatica I feel and thstll work beautifully going forward looking after her health in the process

[@jonnyharvey]

Thank you 😀😀

[@xs8372]

I really think art pop was meant to be her “fall from grace” as in she low key planned it as such. Everything around it was very messy and controversial and seemed intentional. I have a theory that she wanted to do so to be able to shed the over the top image and constant costume like clothes. It was super risky but she knew she had the talent to help her re emerge a even bigger star without letting the fashion be the gimmick of her career. During art pop she expressed that she was very into performance art and that she had a fascination of the decay of blonde pop icon and on how culture loves to build them up and then destroy them, I believe she used art pop as the vessel to have the public turn on her so she can then return and wow everyone with her real talent which is her strong voice and let that be the main focus of her career vs the over the top clothing. She even foreshadowed this in her paparazzi video where there’s newspapers saying “Gaga is over” and then later towards the end “we love her again”. If you notice when art pop died also did most of the over the top looks and now we have a more “real” Gaga. I think she has one of the biggest come back stories ever and solidified her career forever.

[@jonnyharvey]

Maybe you're right? I don't know

[@guillermoporras3754]

Your theory gagged me, if she did, than thats one of the most genius stunts in history, and the fact that she trusted her talent to that level is incredible.

[@alexcal24]

For us who have lived through Gaga's career... her videos were a moment! Her songs were all great pop and overplayed... When ARTPOP was announced and Applause was released I remember feeling numb... It wasn't a great lead single, there were too many promises that I KNEW she could not keep (app, music videos for every song, games, magazines, Act II) and when the DWUW video fiasco happened we were all left speechless. What was there for Gaga to do? She went the opposite way and it rewarded her... I think Joanne was her Bedtime Stories to her Erotica / ARTPOP. She went for a softer image that suited her and then came back with a bang!

[@Solo-vh9fm]

I didn’t think Applause was bad at all. I was quite baffled at how little airplay it had. What killed the era for me was when a song called Do What You Want was announced and had R Kelly on? The lyrics of the song really didn’t help. I also remember some of her biggest monsters defending the song as meaning something else, but it didn’t change anything. I don’t even remember the video at the time other than the O2 advert

[@glasstablegcrls]

i absolutely despise how gaga’s vocals are so unappreciated by the public. she is one of the most talented and underrated vocalists of our time. i know that she is very popular for her performances, versatility, and campy style and musical re-inventions, but hello??? she is a raw talent when it comes to vocal performances.

[@jonnyharvey]

she is one of the greatest vocalists of her generation

[@arontamas5639]

AHS was a huge milestone in her career. Not just she could make her acting debut which was pretty good and since then she gets better and better in acting but she she could revive her music career as well.

[@MYSTERIOMUSIK]

Honestly, if Gaga was given the creative control she deserved with ARTPOP it could have been her best era. The visuals, the app, act ii and other forms of branding for what ARTPOP could have been signal that her label had no faith in the project... but yet 10 years later we're celebrating it for the pop masterpiece it was. SIDE NOTE: The R Kelly Collaboration was the record labels idea and so was presenting it as the second single, it was originally supposed to be Applause, Venus, MANiCURE and then G.U.Y. You can tell that she really didn't like the R Kelly collab through the pre-release promotional performances where she played almost every song EXCEPT Do What U Want instead opting for Jewels n Drugs (the song that she actually got to pick the people she collaborated with).

[@jonnyharvey]

Cool - thanks for that info. Yes I heard Venus was supposed to be the second single and the label changed their minds at the last minute. I think Venus & ManiCure were single worthy.

I would say the most seamless transition to acting from a recording career would be Barbra, but she originated on the stage - so perhaps it doesn’t count. However, Barbra and Gaga have lots of similarities and I’m sure Gaga looks at Barbra for inspiration in her career trajectory.

Think you hit the nail on the head. She was overexposed by 2013 and it just seemed like more weirdness in her image. And the R Kelly duet did her no favours, especially given the contradiction with the trauma she has experienced in her personal life (she's since deleted that version of Do What U Want from all streaming services). Even Joanne wasnt a huge success so it took A Star is Born and then Chromatica to get her back on top so it was a five year period where her career had slipoed from the earlier heights.

It’s simple why Artpop “flopped”. Music industry is changing and the image she marketed during The Fame up to Born This Way does not sell anymore. Rebranding her image to Joanne and Star Is Born is the right move and she did it perfectly.

[@jonnyharvey]

yes it was time for a re-brand.

[@milokors9261]

I don’t think it was the image. The image that Gaga created in 2009 has been selling since then. Many who came post her became icons with that eccentric image (Nicki, Cardi B, etc). That image still sells. Artpop didn’t do so well because it wasnt promoted well. Applause was a banger song and should have hit number 1. Artpop flopped because the album was promoted poorly and her team and label didn’t give it the promotion it deserved

Gaga/Stephanie is s first and foremost an extremely talented entertainer. In many ways she harkens back to the superstars of an eta long gone, when the studio system of Hollywood sought out people like her- think Gene Kelly -who could sing , dance, act and even the productions they where appearing in. In fact in that regard i could imagine the likes of Astaire or Kelly working with her had this been in the 1940s or 50s. Perhaps ths is What Tony Bennett saw in her Whhatever era you put her in , i think she would have been a star under the right circumstances She is a rarity in that regard and i hope her career will last for many decades as there sre all too few around like her One final point, she carried the Gucci movie -she was absolutely fantastic in that and i am glad that she at least got recognition for it

[@Eagle-cy4qj]

Lady Gaga did a great job transitioning her image to keep with the times. The more stripped back version of Gaga is still amazing. That said, i do think Artpop is an amazing album. It's wild and fun, almost comedic at times. It wont resonate with everyone and there was never going to be a perfect time for it to be released, but im glad we have it.

Maybe is she went for a softer look and a more sophisticated album sounds and look it wouldn’t have been such a messy era for her. However, things are meant to happen for a reason and I think after all it’s an exceptional chapter in her career no matter what.

[@ARTPOPdan]

It's funny how the whole world consideres ARTPOP as a flop or a failure even the fact it's a #1 album with a huge top 5 hit and it was also one of the most successful albums of 2013, but just because it didn't have that much stability and big sales as her previous albums then it's automatically a flop even the fact a lot of artists would die to have a successful album just like ARTPOP 🤷‍♂️

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

The music industry's operations are so bizarre. Her lead single launched at number one globally, and she was proclaimed to be a failure immediately because it didn't sell *as much* as other songs did, even with declining music sales across the board. Popular culture is strange. Marilyn Monroe is a legend because she died young more than for any other reason. Greta Garbo because she went into hiding before she was aged. The music industry used to support and cultivate some talents. Kate Bush, for example, was discovered to have been a brilliant singer, songwriter and artist broadly as a teenager, and she was adopted by music industry reps and put through tutoring and mentorships to refine her talents before they finally launched her. Brilliant, lasting investment-although it must be said that her reputation as a legend is a credit to her genius, but also partly due to her decision, like Garbo, to effectively go into hiding once she reached her 40s. Tori Amos was a preternatural talent, the youngest person ever admitted to the Peabody Conservatory of Music (at age five) for her piano virtuosity, and she was given a six-album deal by Atlantic Records based on her songs, her compositions, her piano playing and her singing. And as soon as she signed, they made her over as an 80s pirate wench (??!) and tried to force her to replace all the piano on her songs with guitars. She has fought with the labels her entire career and has never stopped putting out brilliant music, but the record labels stopped investing in promoting her as she reached age 40. Her 'legend' as a brilliant artist would have benefited from going into hiding, but more than half of her incredible work would have been sacrificed in the name of cementing her as someone who was once great and then mysteriously stopped working. The reputations of artists within pop culture are due to how much their supporting companies pay to promote them and to how critics write about them. Critics nearly always write off women as no longer as talented as they once were after they have been around for a decade or so. There are few exceptions-Stevie Nicks is really the only woman musician who comes to mind and who is constantly praised after never having become a recluse. It's such a strange phenomenon. When we discover artists whose work touches us on more than a basic entertainment level, we should keep supporting their work and ignore how they chart. It doesn't matter.

I only read parts of it, never got around to reading it all. It was interesting to hear about the Spice Girls from a different perspective & through a more modern lens. It’s more honest than the other three girls.

Dont call ARTPOP a failure. it was far from failure. Also comparing AP to Katys Prism is very 2013/14.

@@jonnyharvey first part of my comment is to general public that’s gonna watch your video. Sorry I didn’t word it well, but AP and Prism - completely different worlds. Ps still watching your video and love your content perhaps I’m sensitive when it comes to ARTPOP. Liked the video already. Thank you for a quick response.

Maybe? But the ASIB was the big comeback moment with the stratospheric success. It was the perfect ending for the story I was telling. I love Chromatica & it had some success but it wasn’t a ‘slam dunk’

[@elizabethschubert7803]

“…imaginatively titled ‘Duets 2’” I enjoy the snark 😅 Let’s face it, Gaga deserves to be a star but her bona fides as a musician have always been sus. The Fame was a brilliant time in her career but everything after that felt pretty amateur and try-hard. She made the right move transitioning to acting. She’s a lovable person and decent performer… just not a great songwriter.

[@jonnyharvey]

Really? I thought she was a great musician. I like her songwriting

[@elizabethschubert7803]

@@jonnyharvey Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s got a good singing voice and she’s an energetic performer but I always felt she was very limited as a songwriter. For pop, she relied on a lot of repetition and stringing together very abstract lines and phrases that strived to be profound and very seldom were. Her true passion is piano lounge torch ballads and she doesn’t have the pathos or lyrical chops to really pull that off either … songs like “Million Reasons,” “You and I”, “Hold My Hand,” and yes, even “Shallow” are full of platitudes and formulaic arena choruses that rely too much on shouting and stretching syllables and amateur lyrics rather than crafting a unique melody or a compelling narrative.

Applause was a bad lead single, it was too generic. G.U.Y should've been the first single. I think it's a well-known fact that people were getting tired of that Red oneish electropop sound, her over the top theatrics and she also got a backlash because of that R.Kelly duet. She also lost a lot of fans because of alleged Christina Aguilera feud. 8:03 ❤

[@jonnyharvey]

I’m being a bit sensationalist. I need ppl to click on my video. But it’s not untrue either. She was going through professional challenges at the time

[@TheLokiBiz]

Artpop seems to have been doomed by a terrible, pretentious title, if nothing else. I know as someone who isn't and has never been a Gaga fan, I found the title "Artpop" and the insinuation that she was somehow doing something groundbreaking by combining the worlds of art and pop music super groan worthy. I mean, Björk was making REAL "Art Pop" a couple decades before (and at least Björk's music actually is unique sounding - Lady Gaga always made pretty basic, normal sounding mainstream pop music, and basically just would sing it in a weird outfit made of meat or whatever and that would be the "art")

[@kenstontan3677]

ARRPOP was her 4th album you mean..

[@jonnyharvey]

Yes I guess it was. It was her third/fourth album. We don't need to be all technical about it.

[@jonnyfendi2003]

Funny last time i checked Chromatica flopped!! Shes known for her acting vs her singing career these days!!

[@leightonbate7516]

Chromatica could have seen her back on top but she seemed to give up on it too soon.

[@jonnyharvey]

Or maybe the label did? Or I think she had to start filming ‘House of Gucci?’ And I think she’s kinda over the popstar thing

[@c.rambaldi6788]

She’s smart but all over the place. She lost her identity.
