Lady Gaga album sales.... — Page 6

Oh Namo, Gaga wasn't present vocally when she recorded the new album, David Bowie was.

Only on "Applause", my friend :)

On "Aura"?? She sounds absolutely bat**** on that track, but I don't hear DB at all. "Applause" has that clipped, affected delivery with the deliberate vibrato. on "Aura", she sounds like the Wicked Witch after having smoked a joint. The chorus is heavenly though, in my opinion.

I actually hear BOWIE on "FASHION"

Resisted wading into this pool for a bit but it's an interesting conversation, one I've been having IRL the last week or so.

What I like about LG is that she is an amalgamation of so many other artists.

In my mind her whole product/branding is that she is a "concept" artist, a blending if you will, of the most successful components of a previous generation of artists. On paper i think she makes complete sense a a product. Her outlandish "schtick" is what defines her (for better or worse) and I think people will look back 15 or 20 years from now and say she personifies a lot of the best/worst parts of this era.

As an artist myself, I'm all for a little meta now and then but I think with ARTPOP, there's more conversation about what's there than actual "there".... there. I love Dali, am curious about Koons and dig a little irony every once and a while, but I think she may have thrown way too much into the batter on this album. The only thing cohesive about it is how fragmented it is.

On the issue of comparisons--- is she M, is she Bowie is she ....? What I find most interesting is how people focus exclusively on Madonna and almost never mention Grace Jones (whom she has almost copied sequin for sequin in some cases) .

Well, I mean, he had a hit single with "Fashion."

That's like saying you hear The Association in Madonna's "Cherish".

Sorry Namo I meant entertainer in the music industry, and yes she does it better than anyone.

Yes I hear the Bowie sound on Fashion as well, more importantly though the song is terrible

Fashion is a skip. Gypsy has grown on me tremendously.

Going back to Funplex, I also thought it was a great cd. The last two times seeing B32's, they did quite a bit (about 7 songs) from it.

I totally agree And it's old school rap with Too Short and Twista. The song she does with R Kelly, she sounds like Christina Aguilera. But I like it.

Second week in the US looks set to see the album fall to number 7 and sell around 50k

An interesting article about ArtPop




"ArtPop" is Gaga's "Erotica"

For all the crap she took for that album it honestly holds up (from start to finish) as one of her absolute best.

Chartflop!

she can't even match Lotus' second week sales. Avenge Legend X!

Let's be real for a second, Gaga's 'flop' album is selling just as much as every other pop artist's best selling albums. What does that say about her, huh?
