What Ever Happened to Lady Gaga? She Used to be HUGE!

In this video I take a look at the career of art-pop pioneer Lady Gaga. In the recent years, she's seemingly faded more and more from the public consciousness outside of her few acting roles. At one point in the late 00's Lady Gaga was THE queen of redefining the dance pop sound that would dominate radio for the next ten years. But at some point, Gaga's music career started to fade into the background, I try to find out why.

Maybe you should take the video down anyways cause it’s sucks

[@mtcs6701]

I'm a Gaga fan and I don't mean this in any bad way, but you're absolutely correct! I also think that all of her early iconic ideas, concepts and passion came because she had a huge desire to be famous, so much so that she dedicated her first two albums to the Fame. She had to really fight in the beginning, great ideas are born out of necessity & stress. Now she's surrounded by a "team" of ass kissers, I cringed so much when I watched her Netflix documentary and every min someone from her team kept on telling her how gorgeous and amazing she is. Not to mention that she said herself that her producers & record label told her in what direction to go music wise for her first three albums. Chromatica might have charted, but it is by far my least liked Gaga album, the instrumentals are so basic, each song sounds like a remix. No catchy melodies or unique synths (remember how unique her synths were in Just Dance, Poker Face, Born This Way, Mosnter, etc.?).

[@ree3197]

The truth is.. her early success had a lot less to do with her own originality than people would like to believe, and more to do with the people who were behind her who are no longer there! Now she's just one part of an incomplete puzzle 🧩, she knows it, and that will likely never change until she finds people to back her, and guide her in an even better direction..!

[@theblingcycle]

@@ree3197 its so crazy to me because I feel like she could have and still can do stuff like that herself. For me its like- does she actually love avant garde high fashion? does she still have interesting photographers she likes? doesnt she have an ear for good music? doesnt she have the talent to sit beside a producer and play an active role in crafting a new and interesting sound thats still Gaga? Hell, she could learn to produce entirely herself if she gave it the time and energy. My theory is a spiritual affliction. Everytime I see her she seems tired, frayed, insecure. Shes always been big on her values but she just comes off like an establishment shill now... "Go vote democrat!" "go get vaccinated" shes just a standard talking head now. I think she feels like she has to do this stuff to stay relevant and be a good person. I think the asskissers is a great point also. But really I think everything thats happened has taken a toll on her and she might need to do some work on her perspective and really get back in her bag musically and spiritually. She really does seem unwell. I love her to death and fame monster is on my walls and in ears to this day, what she did from Fame to Artpop is just legendary and fk all of the "madonna clone" shi I honestly dont understand how people still run with that when she did WAY MORE outside of being inspired by Madonna among many others. To me she was an amalgam of stardom throughout history it really wasnt just about madonna BUT I COULD GO ON

[@Mariannalivingston999]

All her ideas were stolen from real artists just as Ysan Roche(her entire persona) Mia and many others

[@theblingcycle]

@@Mariannalivingston999 I just checked out Ysan Roche and her claims seem completely ludicrous, even given her own "evidence".

[@Mariannalivingston999]

@@theblingcycle it’s even in a book that is being used inside universities. The book is named Queerness in Pop Music by Prof Stan Hawkins. You Lady Gaga Fans are so dumb and gullible. Ysan Roche is an accomplished fashion model and business owner who wanted to change the industry by creating a brand and being completely independent from the vampiric music industry. Gaga is a product, completely owned and tied to a 3/60 deal which means the companies get half of every movie or fashion line she makes. She’s a slave and still paying off 2 big loans- she’s completely broke and in deep despair. That’s why the industry attacked Roche and literally stole everything. They did the same to Tom Althouse. Good luck to you

[@OcpCommunications]

I think what happened was a combination of things. More competition propped up in the pop music landscape, Gaga herself wasn't really as interested in being a mainstream success anymore, and she shifted her focus more to her acting career. Nice job with the video as always.

[@obeydastrawberry8875]

If she doesn't want to be mainstream anymore, why she dropped chromatica? That album is a very mainstream pop record. The problem is her acting carrier and the fact that she's not shocking anymore. She lost the thing that made her popular

The last time I saw her was with Metallica at the grammys. I thought she was on fire there. Her vocals fit really good with rock music.

[@TheDreamingDays]

Gaga had a #1 (Shallow) hit in 2018, and another #1 hit in 2020 (Rain On Me). She also had a big viral hit in 2022 (Bloody Mary). And as much as so-called fans hate on these songs, both Million Reasons and Stupid Love were top 5 hits. I think the narrative of her fading is overblown. She has simply switched most of her focus away from music onto other endeavors like jazz, movies, and make-up. You don't have to like it but she isn't your monkey that has to cater to your entertainment for the rest of her life.

Obviously, everyone except butthurt Madonna stans (including the one who made this video) knows this lol

TERRIBLE CRAP

[@YunikuYosefMomoka]

It was not that bad, her vocals were on point even though it wasn’t her style. At least she knew how to properly sing the genre.

[@NostalgiCrazy]

She skyrocketed into idolization within the first 2 years of her career. There were so many things changing in music, fashion, internet, technology, etc. so this combination of factors helped propel her to stardom, but also backfire when trends changed quicker. I remember many people didn't take her seriously, calling her a gimmick, etc. so I'm sure it got to her to _not_ be taken seriously once she was already everywhere.

[@Obbee]

little monsters don’t waste your time watching this video its not worth it! its giving stan twitter opinion from a madonna fan. IJBOL.

[@stinghouseproductions8502]

I had a similar conversation with a friend about this a couple of months ago. I think you nailed it. I also think that the loss of her old songwriting partners like her ex and Space Cowboy, ect didn't help. When she has to write the songs herself she just re-writes the songs she liked as a kid. On her own she just seems like someone who watched The Blonde Ambition Tour VHS way too many times in her life.

[@DancingwithGhosts]

yeah, she has the vocal talent but needs to have great producers behind her to come up with the songs and melodies. the production on the fame monster is brilliant, those are some tasty synth jams with a powerhouse vocalist on top of them.. after that, the music got watered down and i lost interest

[@ducko5404]

I still think that The Fame & The Fame Monster are genuinely great albums. There are some good tracks like that on Born This Way too but her direction sound wise just slowly changed towards direction that I don’t care too much about. I personally like her work with Tony Bennett too.

am I crazy or what bc I really dont hear any similarities between Express Yourself and BTW... and also wasnt EY a ripoff? also Lady Gaga is still huge, she still garners more monthly listeners on spotify like for example Beyonce who's touring right now. her album Chromatica didn't sell as well since it was released during the pandemic and she closed her official store and focused on fundraising for COVID relief, but it has sold more than her 2016 album so... anyways globally, Lady Gaga is still huge, specially here in asia. i just dont know whats the issue with american ppl's obsession with racist artists right now lol. I think she just needs a better management... like didn't her song Bloody Mary from 2011 chart this year? Idk why they didn't push it as a single. I just know if Gaga is really desperate for a hit she would've but I think she's more focused on her acting right now than her music

[@Michi-uw6ji]

hate to break it to you, but Lady Gaga isn't Gaga anymore ... she's just as "boring" as the other artists, no creativity anymore. Literally any of the other pop girlies could have done her last record and don't get me started on the visuals ... what a. shame

[@anonnymous4684]

Check out the critical response section on Wikipedia to Born This Way and you can see a summary of the reviews that referenced Express Yourself and noted the similarities.

[@dana.1546]

I don't think "Born This Way" ripps off "Express Yourself" : and not only I love Madonna (as I do also love Lady Gaga) but also "Express Yourself" is my favorite song of Madonna. But they're both powerful anthems : EY for Girl Power and BTW for the LGBTQIA community. Music wise I think EY has a more beautiful music but I love both songs and both singers. The problems with recent Lady Gaga albums were the addition of several things : 1 Red One, Fernando Garibay or Rob Fusari did amazing musics for her and she ditch them all, big, big mistake especially about Red One 2 The team behind her wasn't ideal maybe, but they knew how to market her and after ArtPop, these teams are gone as well 3 As someone said : before she wanted fame and glory so much but now she has all that & all big artists' mojo fades away after the 4th or 5th album. Now she hasn't nothing more to prove. Plus she's also more invested in her make-up company and in movies than in her music. But I think you're being too harshed on the Born This Way era, I supported her right until the end of the ArtPop era. I know a lot of her early fans didn't liked Born This Way or ArtPop but I think it's after ArtPop that everything really fell apart. I also think the fact that she surrounds herself with kiss-asses don't help her make the good decisions. The Top Gun song, this new Die With A Smile song, they're not worthy of what she did before that's for sure. But she's like a Phoenix and she might rise again with her next album as she rose many, many times before. So I wouldn't count her out just yet.

[@beautyneytiri]

she was always so strong... she said being who she truly was, was all that it's about instead of being a celebrity. apparantly she lied everything she said. she literally said she would stay the way she was untill she would die. she literally said she didn't care about the money and fame, but to care about her true fans.

[@anonnymous4684]

I think most pop stars don't really have enough about them to genuinely reinvent themselves more than a couple of times, without it coming across as inauthentic and turning the public off. Katy Perry took over from Gaga as being the pop girl of the moment, but after two album cycles, her success also began to dwindle. I also think that with Gaga, she tried to ride two horses of being a 'credible' singer-songwriter, as well as striving for pop icon status and somehow came up short on both. Her biggest hits like Poker Face and Bad Romance aren't anything particularly innovative. That sound has been around in Europe since the 90s and is perceived as being disposable pop, and certainly not the kind of music that's associated with a serious artist. As for being an icon, that's something the general public bestows on a celebrity IF they are considered worthy. The record company obviously spent a lot of money on Gaga in the beginning so she had a huge amount of hype. But after the initial burst of coverage, there just wasn't a huge amount of interest in her as a person outside of her fan-base. To most people, Gaga is a pop singer from the early 2010s, which is very different to being a pop culture icon.

Trunk has claimed that Lady Gaga danced like an extra in "Rock of Ages" during the performance. Trunk has also claimed to being taken back to that unfortunate moment upon hearing "Moth Into Flame." It hasn't helped matters that presenter Laverne Cox failed to mention Metallica by name right before the performance in question began. Um, is it safe to say that rock is REALLY dead?

Ok, Born This Way was definitely a successful album, with very few bad songs on the album. I don't know how old you are to call things that aren't for you or that you don't get "cringe" but it's time to grow up ! Other than that it was a really good video, it expressed very well the frustration that a lot of Lady Gaga fans have been feeling in the past 8/9 years. Sometimes it feels like she changes her mind way quicker than her career can afford. After the ARTPOP fiasco, she fully rebranded herself, with Cheek To Cheek, Joanne and A Star Is Born, as a former popstar who makes the music she likes and doesn't care if it works on the charts or not. But then after that somewhat critically successful yet commercially mitigated era she dropped Chromatica, a full-on mainstream pop album with a lot of commercial potential if well promoted/marketed. There were many great songs in this album and I could totally see Babylon, 911 and Sour Candy working well on the charts. Chromatica could have been another Born This Way, even another The Fame Monster if done well. But not only was Chromatica released in very difficult time for the music industry, she also flatout IGNORED the album after it was released. I get that with the heavy political landscape at the time (COVID, BLM & re-elections coming up) promoting your pop album would have made her look very bad. But I can't help but feel like it was so weird as a Lady Gaga stan because we literally waited years for this album, and it was a good album, it really was. But she acted like it never existed, never promoted it and went back to work on her acting career, changing her mind yet again in the span of a few months. All I know today as a Lady Gaga stan who used to be obsessed with her from Just Dance to G.U.Y, is that she's not the popstar she used to be, nor does she really want it. She tried to resurrect her superstardom in 2020 but the whole world was dealing with something greater at that time, and I wouldn't be surprised that she took this failure as a sign that it wasn't her destiny to became a heavyhitter again. I also believe that the trajectory Lady Gaga's career has taken has demonstrated something greater than just "pop music is dying" or "Lady Gaga is the last popstar". I think people just don't want to get involved in music as much as they used to. We don't crave the gasping at a videoclip or gossiping about rivalry between two popgirls as much as we did in the early 2010s. Internet and social media has massively raised awareness on environmental, societal and political issues, and that's for the better. Now, we sort of look down upon talking about Ariana Grande's homewrecking accusations or Dua Lipa's next sample album. We know that there are much bigger issues right now that need our attention.

Out of all the post Madonna female pop superstars Lady Gaga was the most disappointing one. Having said that i love Gaga , she started so greatly, she reached that iconic status with the signature looks so difficult to get in pop culture. I think Gaga created soooo much expectations with her first record that we forget only her first record was "truly" iconic and successful. Born this way was a good but only ok album. Artpop was miserable, her with joanne was boring. Her last solo album surprisingly was good. But gaga will always remain as that girl who came up with that wonderful album called "the fame". After that she just stared to follow trenda

[@yusavelli0448]

Born This Way is literally one of the greatest pop albums of all time, and her best by far

[@rao803]

I think you're not on the same thoughts as the pop fans in general. Gaga's three first records (The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way) are considered highly successful and iconic, Artpop is considered and underrated masterpiece, the ASIB soundtrack was another great success. I don't know what y'all expect from her, all her albums have been successful and gave a lot of conversation between pop fans. Just because you don't like it or find it quite meh doesn't mean it had no impact. Born This Way is memorable af and so is Artpop. The impact is undeniable.

Honestly I truly believe she achieved what she came for initially and brilliantly extended the relationship connections aesthetically and conclusively . Especially the first two albums [The Fame(MONSTER) EP ]that Set the modern/2000s era tone and articulated ,showcasing a global theatre on “pop culture “ in real time collectively in sync with her actual career (a star born). Literally formulated a stage name“L.GAGA” as a vessel to channel the beauty and brutality of fame , the rise and fall , the light and the dark. The contrast of a stars fame . It’s shows the average person who chases ” it “as the “American dream” knowing little or nothing about “it” but only the glory $ide 📸. I truly believe Her message was loud and clear. A tribute to the ‘fame” , a tribute the culture a tribute to the stars and a tribute to the “ART” in “POP”- culture. The powerful grip and illusion that“The Fame” has. “its” a very powerful unconscious conscious, unpredictable entity that evolves in stages with each individual star’s cycle. She out grew the era because she accomplished her goal and message. B.T.W was the true anticipated release because it’s a whole different POV of the character L.G in her “art pop culture “story. It’s like novels being released with a spin keeping you ALMOST full never quite there making you want more as we watch a character and real person grow thru the cycle . example: “fame and Fortune “. It’s never seems to be enough. This is my interpretation . I truly believe She blew up and did her thing( brilliantly! )and like most A-listers , she truly wanted that one thing most.. just more control over her life and her grand uncontrollable career path. Which is really hard to undo… it can be frightening , lonely ,sad etc. and I’m glad she has/is doing what she truly wants for her. Plus her acoustics and Jazz are my favourite❤.

[@MyKeyMoonShine]

Chromatica had sold more than a million units worldwide before 2023 it's just labels have to pay for certifications so they sometimes take years to update them. It's certified platinum in the US and in several other music markets. It's definitely over 2 million units world wide. Rain On Me was not the lead single and was a pretty big hit especially globally. The reason why units are now used is because nobody really buys music anymore, even huge artists who can still do ok in pure sales have to use tricks to shift them like Taylor and her physical variants, that's really the only way to do large numbers of pure sales and you need a big fanbase for that. Generally a lot of misinfo and bias in this video. Gaga is by no means as big as she was early in her career but she's still one of the most successful female artists in the world.

Gaga was incredible in House Of Gucci though, so at least she`s staying at least somewhat relevant still. I absolutely LOVED House Of Gucci, i don`t even fully understand why? I have ZERO interest or knowledge of fashion? I wasn`t a Lady Gaga fanatic either? Its just a great story that is told VERY well with solid acting throughout. Highly recommended!

[@anonnymous4684]

I actually thought she was awful in House of Gucci. Her Italian 'accent' sounded like something out of a comedy sketch ('I eata the pasta') and it didn't feel like she inhabited the role at all - just Gaga talking silly.

[@davekennedy6315]

@@anonnymous4684 I`m not exactly familiar with a genuine Italian accent so to me she sounded fine? But i really enjoyed her performance, i didn`t get any unrealistic/bad acting vibes at all and thought she was great? It`s not like i`m a Gaga fanatic either, i remember her music and liked some of it. But as a pop personality i just felt she was a subpar Madonna copy and some of her bizarre fashion choices way too try hard. But in Gucci i thought she was great, i even kinda wanted to hate her and her performance but was surprised by her and the movie in general.

I feel like the more she released stuff and became famous for it, the more she became aware of how she comes accross. It seems even a little too calculated whereas before it felt so spontaneous, so visceral of her. She even had a good sense of humour to her. The more her career became political and humanitarian, the more boring it got. It became less creativity and experimentation driven and became more activism, social service driven. Lady Gaga was "weird" because she broke rules and wanted to expand the limits of what a popstar could be like. Before, she was fighting to stay outside the box whereas now she sits comfortably inside it.

[@gillianomotoso328]

8:26 - that’s mostly how she started pre-Gaga!

[@itsjagagad]

Hear me out: Firstly, you're just a Madonna fan in disguise, obviously. Secondly, even you can't compare Gaga and Madonna in an apple-to-apple way. The landscape of music consumption within the last 10 years has vastly changed compared to the 20 years between the 80s to 00s. The artist has to promote their music through TV shows, radio, etc up until 10s. So, Gaga came at the edge of that era. Then why was Taylor Swift able to pull it off? Well, Gaga had changed her trajectory of career cause she has countless talents to offer, so why should stick to one scope? She has the power still, but she doesn't want to. To be successful in music is not her one and only projection for her 15-year career into the scene. So, let's not compare her impact with Madonna or other mainstream singers cause their approach was different. Even in the acting scene, she continues to make an impact and inspires other artists beyond the music industry. Thirdly, do you suggest she be extravagant and keep the aesthetic for her entire career? C'mon, that's lame. That would not work either. She became huge because she broke the rules. What's the point of being weird while the other main pop girls are trying the same way nowadays? In conclusion, you're video would be more relevant if you added "music" in the subject cause she is still huge as an artist - just look at the numbers of the Joker trailer itself. Not to mention her A Star Is Born era.

The Fame Monster is NOT an EP, it's a stand alone album, that makes BTW her third. Can'e even begin to compehend how can someone call the title song 'basic' and the video cringy. It was and it is a piece of art. Maybe in today's culture, everything that contains a little bit of story or emotion is considered 'CRINGY' but back than it was a masterpiece. With BTW she was at the literal peak of her career and decline of her career declined with ARTPOP. It was poorly managed because everything with her management went to hell right before the release. So do your research a little better. Her most complex song and the best production were on Born This Way album and the Scheisse song is about a little bit more than 'mumbling language she can't speak'. Again, BETTER RESEARCH.

[@DontCallMePetar]

Tbf it was kind of sold as both because of a disagreement between her and her label. They wanted it as a repackage EP and she wanted it as a standalone album so it was sold as both. In some countries you could only buy it included with the fame.

[@shitheadbowels]

The Fame Monster is billed as an EP but is a mini-album at best. It's an addendum to The Fame and part of its deluxe reissue. It's NOT a standalone full-length and can't even be purchased on its own in some territories.

The reason why gaga is not big as she used to be is because she was never original... She stole ideas from people, and it just seemed like a big collage of basically artistry all put together and someone acting it out... that is not artistic and that is not a way of showing any kind of "Art Pop" especially when it's done and poorly and almost seems like something filmed for Saturday Night Live performance. I even think that she likes to make up certain things at a given time such as a claim to have gone through bullying in her teens and then suffering from Fibromyalgia, and then, claiming to be bisexual to only say in front of an episode on RuPaul's drag race to say that she is a straight woman with the LGBT alliance which is perfect but why do you have to lie about your identity and other things? It makes no sense and it just seems like this is somebody that has suffered from trying to get attention from people. I think that whenever Madonna posed with her, I believe it was in 2018 or 2017. It was basically for publicity purposes, because Madonna knows that gaga is a fake and was an industry plant and one of the first industry plants at the time. Gaga is still sort of relevant today mostly because of some of her gay fans but even that is something that many people can see is that a lot of her artistry in the early early 2010s was basically homage and a sloppy homage to Madonna and other artists.. She never came across as authentic in any of her music and it's why, after artpop, she knew that it was definitely not original, and she was not meant to be an artist. she can sing and she can do anything, but I think that if she would've came out first with an album like Joanne, her career would probably be a little bit better and her authenticity would be a little more sincere. Because whatever she was doing prior to her album Joanne she was basically copying and making mockery and trying to be relevant during those times of The Fame Monster, Born this Way and Artpop. Nothing was ever original.

[@Mariannalivingston999]

Darling she can’t even sing. Every vocal teacher can hear that she has a musical voice with a very basic technique that you use at musicals and which literally everyone can learn in 3 months - just as Reese Whiterspoon did for the Movie walk the line. Even that is a complete exaggeration and just basic. Her entire career was fabricated with stolen content and a concept Ysan Roche created on how to build the female David Bowie in 2007. There is a lot more on how they tried to silence her and other artists to the point that they almost died
