Lady GaGa Appreciation Thread: Two Golden Globe and FIVE Grammy Nominations

[Ammi]

...one of the perks of being GaGa...she doesn’t go to the beach, the beach comes to her...:lovedup:..

[Ammi]

I used to enjoy the feel of my nan's red rug on my bare feet if that counts?

..I had an aunt who had a rug like that next to an open fire...it felt like a magic rug..:flutter:..probably a bit of a fire hazard though...

[Smithy]

...I’m thinking the beach was probably added around her and she was laying in the studio ..?...

This tweet has been deleted but slay at #1 because of physical copies rather than streaming which is kind of rare since streaming has kind of ruined the charts a bit.

The streaming numbers are equivalent points (bc the charts are weird) rather than actual numbers though, so I don't know what the streaming gap really was

1,500 streams of any songs from an album to a full LP sale.

Official Charts will take the 12 most-streamed tracks from each album. The top two tracks will be down-weighted in line with the average of the next 10.

These streams will then be added together and divided by 1,000. This ‘stream factor’ will then be added to the physical/digital sales of the album.

The reason for down-weighting the two most streamed tracks is to ensure that if an album features up to two smash hit singles, streams of these tracks do not skew the performance of their parent album in the Official Album Chart

i am going to rank gaga's singles bc that's my mood for today (arutw and inla included bc they're top 40 SMASHES, no tony bennet)

perfect illusion > marry the night > just dance > bad romance > the edge of glory > i'll never love again > born this way > always remember us this way > applause > alejandro > you and i > do what you want > g.u.y. > telephone > poker face > eh eh > lovegame > joanne (piano version) > paparazzi > dance in the dark > million reasons > shallow > the cure

love them all apart from the cure.

perfect illusion is still that song. most underrated song of the decade.

No. 41, "Always Remember Us This Way," Lady Gaga
No. 63, "Is That Alright?," Lady Gaga
No. 93, "Maybe It's Time," Bradley Cooper

Beauty and a sense of completeness are radiating from her in every appearance at the moment. It's 2018 and Gaga is now that girl - she's made it!

Well they’ve stopped sleeping on ha now! Shallow is extending its lead over the #2 spot on iTunes to almost 40%!!

ASIB remains #1 on BB200 it’ll more than likely be certified gold next week in the US and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being one of the best selling (sans SPS, actually bought) albums of the YEAR when all is said and done

[lewis111]

#1 and #2 on ITunes WW with a lot of the songs reaching new peaks
I can definitely see Shallow reaching top 3 and maybe ever having This Is Me type success if it keeps going this well

#1 Album, #1 Single & #1 Movie

a man LOVES a triple threat :smug: it also makes her the first artist in HISTORY to accomplish this :clap1: :clap1:


Eh, she doesn't come across as either imo, she has a bit of a meltdown on AHS bc the director keeps telling her to do various accents and she's right in the middle of making an album, so I don't think we can imagine the pressure she's under to complete it

Not all in the same week no; The Bodyguard album technically didn't even chart on the UKAC because it's classed as a compilation album

INLA Video is now on YT, I’m glad they edited the song and video, it’s perfect for radio now & theyve made the film version of the song an album only track now, so it defintely seems like they’re going to give the song a push at some point


Also ASIB is #1 on the singles, albums and box office in Aus too!

A man loves a triple threat indeed!

[Jessica.]

Ugh I love her

[Smithy]

Have you seen the film yet Jess?
:flutter:

[lewis111]

I’m so proud of her :love:
Looks like she could have a 2nd week at #1 as well (depending on how well LM do after X Factor)

Really hope LG6 can have this level of success now

Really hope LG6 can have this level of success now

I think it’ll be pretty close, she’s ahead on iTunes and AM (not sure about Spotify bc I don’t use ha) but LM are discounted (already :skull:) so I figure they’ll get a decent boost after their performance

Either way, the album and shallow are gonna have amazing longevity AND ARUTW & INLA are still holding steady on iTunes too! Queen!

:clap1: LEGENDS only - Gaga, Bey, Rih and Taylor are the only pop girls to make the list

LADY GAGA:
Not that she wasn’t already a star, but when Gaga rocked the red carpet in a feathered pink Valentino Couture confection at 2018 Venice Film Festival, it seemed a celestial being had descended. Whether she scores an Oscar nomination for Bradley Cooper’s remake of “A Star Is Born” — and finds the cinematic longevity that evaded her pop-star role model, Madonna — remains to be seen, but her movie debut reeled in consistently glowing reviews. 2018 saw her complete the “Star Is Born” film and soundtrack, wrap her $95 million-grossing Joanne world tour and lock a residency at the MGM Vegas.

[Beastie]

Hope Gaga is nominated and wins an Oscar for ASIB!

[Jase.]

Ugh that vid of her thanking fans for supporting ASIB is so bloody CUTE!

[Jase.]

She's overtaken Glenn Close and is now fave to win Best Actress at the Oscars

I can't

[Smithy]

I’d SCREAM if she won best actress, but I don’t think she will, I think she get best original song (which itself would be amazing) unless the vote is split between her two nominations and something else ends up winning. Best actress would be incredible but I’m not expecting it at all :laugh:

[Smithy]

Shallow is looking likely to hold onto the #1 for the singles for a THIRD week with the album holding at No2 again :clap1:

This after an amazing Guardian article stating that Shallow is by far the defining song of the year

1059107414522368002

Stop 10 people walking down the street with headphones, and at least one of them will be listening to the soundtrack to A Star Is Born. In all likelihood, it will be Shallow, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s No 1 single.

For me, the film brought back the thrill of being a music journalist: the vim, sweat and chaos of being backstage; the extraordinary capacity of live music to lift the self and spirit, build moments of joy, communion and clarity. The simple act of feeling alive.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and The Greatest Showman soundtracks have dominated album sales this year (thanks, one suspects, to children graduating from the Frozen soundtrack). But A Star Is Born is for grownups. As one life fades, another begins. I’ll be listening until, as one friend put it, “I’d heard it so many times I thought I was going to be sick”.

Wow, no lies spotted! :clap1:

Always remember us this slay video :flutter:

Also Forbes have announced that ASIB is the highest grossing “no action/no fantasy” romantic drama of ALL TIME!

A Star is Born has earned $168 million in North America, surpassing Gone Girl ($166m) as the biggest adult-skewing October release in modern times (sans inflation). Oh, and it also passed the $166m gross of Fifty Shades of Grey, taking its place as essentially the biggest “no action” (Pearl Harbor, Titanic) and “no fantasy” (Ghost) romantic drama of all time in unadjusted domestic earnings. It’s already the biggest non-period piece romantic drama in North American grosses and should pass Pearl Harbor ($198m in 2001) to end up third on the overall list."

She just won’t stop winning!

Haven’t popped into this thread yet but just wanna throw out there how much I love Gaga :love: there was a good 2+ years were I listened to ARTPOP from start to finish every day. It’s probably my fave album of hers, but I love everything!

A Star Is Born was so good. With the release date constantly changing I was so scared it was terrible and they were trying to find the best place to bury it but it was the exact opposite. :love:

I’ve seen her every time she’s come here (except for when she opened for Pussycat Dolls), went to the artRAVE twice :love: I’m actually going to Vegas to see her, it’ll be my first time leaving Australia :love:

Ugh sorry I don’t know why I’m word vomiting but talking about Gaga brings up so many memories. Listening to The Fame for the first time. :love: 17 year old me having a massive Fame Monster poster in my room but still insisting I was straight :love: Telling almost everyone at work to stream Perfect Illusion :love:

The first review, which is GLOWING with praise

Lady Gaga has made quite a few grand entrances during her career: hatching from a space egg at the 2011 Grammys, jumping off a platform at the 2017 Super Bowl, stage-diving into the moshpit in an underboob-flashing leatherbabe get-up while dueting with Metallica at the 2017 Grammys, strutting onto a divey drag bar stage rocking some skinny Edith Piaf eyebrows and belting “La Vie En Rose” in A Star Is Born, etc.

But Gaga just may have outdone herself at the opening night of her “Enigma” residency at the Park MGM in Las Vegas Friday. As she hovered in a wire-strung harness, KISS/P!nk-style, above the 5,200-capacity crowd — which included superstar fans Katy Perry, Dave Grohl, Adam Lambert, and Jeremy Renner — wearing a mirrorball-reflective unitard and geometric baby-blue wig, she fingered a keytar and sang her breakthrough 2008 hit, “Just Dance.”

Regardless of whether Gaga wins at the Oscars or Globes, she definitely won over Vegas this Friday. That, of course, is no surprise, since perhaps no other artist in modern pop history is so clearly made for Sin City: Gaga has never shied away from spectacle, yet she can also clean up nice and croon the classics with her old-school pal Tony Bennett. Gaga will explore the latter, kinder, gentler side of her persona in a second Vegas residency, “Jazz & Piano,” in 2019.

“Enigma,” however, was a full-on conceptual production featuring the diva at her campy, crazy best, complete with a Wizard of Oz-meets-Aeon Flux-meets-Barbarella, anime/manga alternate-universe narrative starring Gaga’s artificial-intelligence alter ego: a sinewy, sexy Svedka vodka mascot-lookalike named Enigma.

And she performed “Scheiße” astride a giant animatronic, fire-breathing, chrome Trojan horse/dinosaur. It was all totally ridiculous, and it all totally worked.

She just keeps winning :clap1:

There is a solo version and a version with Christina Aguilera

[Scoot]

Was the solo version ever officially released? It’s be cool if it replaced the R Kelly one but I get the idea she wants to just distance herself as far away from the song as possible.

[Smithy]

It was accidentally released once on Spanish iTunes (iirc) as part of some compilation album

[Shaun]

still don't give a **** about the accusations if they're true, it's a bop, one of her best, and he contributed a lot to it

not heard the Xtina version but I'm not deleting a song I enjoy. I mean I still listen to Azealia Banks so I've been through worse.

You can’t benefit from it if no one can buy it anymore, that’s the point of it being taken off of all services :laugh:

No I meant if the solo version was to be released he’d still be benefiting from it

[Smithy]

I imagine he is only credit for writing his verse, the credits on the solo version (which is the same lyrically as the xtina version) don’t show him a writer
