I think, at the very least, she and her team are going to make a BIG, genuine effort towards returning her music to a much more mainstream sound, something that will still be a little 'Gaga' but not as batshit crazy and off-putting (to some) as some of the Born This Way and Artpop stuff.

Well, she did pull her video with R. Kelly from being officially released where there were scenes suggesting he was sexually assaulting her and she was liking it...

 

I'm sorry, I just don't take her seriously and always question her intentions (as everything she's done has been about getting attention and people to feel sorry for her) , and she's more than often proven me right to do so over the years. Though, she has been slightly less annoying recently, now that her success and career have died down and the general public's interest in her has waned.

Yes, we must. It's a conversation that is all too rarely had, and for those who held her costumes and antics against her, the reasons behind it is something they do not want to hear about. So they'll hear about it! :lol:

 

Also, she's not going away. You can bet that she and her team will put 250% into coming up with an album #4 that's fire. No doubt about it. I don't know how you, of all people, do not see her huge talent and star-quality and would want this. :huh:;)

oh, I do see she that she has huge, huge talent and I was an enormous fan of hers back in the day. but she wrecked her own career and I'm over hearing about her. plus she is awful on AHS. I'm sorry for all she's gone through but I'm ready for her to go away. Her next album would have to be really, REALLY amazing to win back me and the millions of other fans she's alienated over the past few years. 

 

Plus us I found her billboard interview to be so self congratulatory and smug, a giant pat on the back to how talented she is and how she's up there with Judy Garland. It was a huge reminder of why I stopped liking her in the first place. There's nothing I hate more than a very talented person telling you constantly how talented they are (Anne Hathaway). Stop telling us how much about the art you are and let us SEE it. All of her stunts failed miserably and alienated fans, and instead of embracing that and being like "okay I fucked up" she talks about them as if they were some grand form of art we were all too stupid to understand. I just find her grating and annoying and there are many people just as talented out there. Her time has passed, unless she does some serious work on this new album and goes back to The Fame era stuff. 

 

Also so who did she sleep with to get woman of the year from billboard? She hasn't even real eased an album in years and the only song she released this year, while beautiful, wasn't even that successful.

There is no career upswing though, she hasn't had a hit single in what, 3 years? When you're doing duets and commercials with Tony Bennett and still in your late 20's, something isn't right. 

 

Her career ran out of steam in 2010 and she's been clinging on ever since. I'd be very surprised if her next albums sees more success than her last two. It seems like her team is trying to soften her image a bit with paid for PR, but it's too little, too late IMO.

Tony Bennett ASKED her to record an album with him, just as he asked Amy Winehouse before that. And being from an Italian family herself, I can totally see why she said yes and went with it, regardless of what else is going on with her career.

 

I personally don't care how successful she really is now commercially. What matters is the talent, and she has that. She could do jazz standards for the rest of her life now and probably be happy. She doesn't need a huge hit anymore; she's done all that stuff already. And that Oscar performance was the best.

She peaked really fast in her career and burnt out, that was the point.

 

And the reason why that happened was not because she was untalented (she has talent), but she wasted her moment in the sun with cheap gimmicks, a passive-agressive feud with a legend (Madonna), and progressively crap material (I'm sorry, BTW and AP were not great albums) that ended up flopping and damaging her commercial career. All that and she's not even 30 yet. Everything she does now feels like an engineered PR plan to rebuild her public image and recover from the fall she's had with the general public, and I don't particularly feel it's working.

      On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.

      Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.

      Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.

      The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.

      It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.

      There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you!

      Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
