A film/it’s cast nominated for all the top awards at every major film festival so far = a fad

Lots of films that are not very successful get nominated for these things. Success and popularity are what makes money and makes you relevant, not indie awards/awards in general.

Ok well it’s in the top ten grossing films of the year in UK/Aus & Ireland, not to mention countless other European countries and #11 in the US so try again I guess

The soundtrack is doing complete average, it was not a hit. The movie also did pretty average. There haven't been many big films out this year and shes still not top 10, it's not exactly great for a Bradley Cooper film [as he sold it lets be real here]
None of the songs will have the longevity of even half of The Greatest Showman songs, nor will the movie/soundtrack have the same impact or even close to it.

The soundtrack is one of the most successful soundtracks since Frozen, the movie has made nearly 10 times its budget back, the film’s been nominated for a bunch of Golden Globes, and it’s tipped to be nominated for heaps of Oscars. What are you on about?

Predicting whether something has longevity or not is pointless because we won’t know until we get there on anything.

Will Lady Gaga be relevant again?

It's a bit embarrassing at this point in her career to call Lady Gaga a fad. She's done incredibly well with music and her acting has come on leaps and bounds and she has been highly praised for A Star Is Born.

I am not even a fan per say but she is brilliantly talented.

[Oliver_W]

it's an interesting dichotomy how Lady Gaga is a great singer but most of her songs (apart from the majority of The Fame) are crap, while Madonna is a mediocre singer but has some awesome songs.

And yeah, at this point it's clear Gaga can survive without her cringey gimmicks.

Gaga has released some of the best songs of her career in the last 3 years

Take several seats

Cheek to Cheek was four years ago.

B*tch she's Madonna
She can Express herself just like a virgin
She ain't crossing no borderline with this 'Lucky Star' Gaga
Lady Gaga rung and Madge hung up
Gaga needs to get into the groove because she lives in a ghost town
Madonna lives for love on La Isla Bonita

You probably couldn't name one song of hers and you probably didn't even know who she was before finding that article!

To call one of the most successful female artists ever petty IS petty

You can have all the success in the world and still be petty; acting like Gaga copied her because she used a variation of a rather generic phrase is petty.

[Scoot]

My mind still boggles at people calling ARTPOP a flop when compared to almost ALL of her contemporaries it outsold both critically and commercially.

[Scoot]

I mean say what you want about the 'feud' or w/e (again - I LOVE Madonna), but going on a massive world tour and literally singling out one person and taking the piss out of them and their fans every night IS petty and imo is one of the reasons the fanbases are as toxic with each other as they are.

It's so hard to be a big fan of both tbh

[Denver]

Gaga is no Keala Settle

[TomC]

The Gaga vs Madonna stans feud is so dumb. Both have fantastic musical back catalogues and are insanely talented, and they're so ****ing similar.


That being said, out of the two, Madonna is the petty one.

ALSO, saying Gaga isn't as relevant is a given... You can't be the world's #1 artist forever, so it's not something to be used against her. Anyhow, she's had 2 #1 albums in the past 3 years, and been part of a movie that's already ingrained in popular culture.
