My two favorite Gaga songs 😭😭😭 Well, undoubt it

Still waiting for Edge of Glory to get the Judas treatment it deserves

The trend since covid has been lower estimates that rise over time. There is a chance the reviews hold us back, but really we should be aiming for 150+ to be a breakout success IMO. But, of course, anything over 100+ is great.

PS. I think in 25 years Gaga will be top 3 with Taylor and Beyoncé. And in 50 she might be top 2.

I honestly cannot imagine Gaga not being top 10. I think she should be top 5, but I’m sticking to top 10 or I’ll burn Billboard down. This is what I imagine we’ll see: 10. Justin Bieber 9. The Weeknd 8. Adele 7. Eminem 6. Kanye West 5. Lady Gaga 4. Drake 3. Rihanna 2. Taylor Swift 1. Beyonce Other people who could maybe break into the top 10: BTS, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Britney (if she counts), Coldplay (if they count).

Tbh I think it will be Good Luck Babe after the VMAs. I think Roan is going to be the defining performance of the night and it’ll cement her stardom the way Gaga’s 2009 did (not saying it’ll be THAT good, but you never know). I think our time comes in October with radio support and Joker.

They can definitely submit her wherever they want and probably get away with it. But there is a limit. Some supporting wins have had a few minutes of screen time and some have been literally a full-on lead. Not having seen it and trying not to read too into what people are saying, I can’t really imagine Gaga isn’t big enough in the movie to not sneak in lead if they want, but it seems to be based on their recent marketing and takes from experts - they’re aiming for supporting. I would consider Olivia a lead in The Favourite - although it’s definitely an ensemble piece and one could definitely make the argument she’s supporting. Her presence and vitalness to the story overrides having, say, less screen time imo (it’s not much less than Emma btw). I literally screamed and texted that to a friend. I was ROLLING. What a GREAT piece overall.

Honestly, I don't really want her to go back to RedOne, I think she's ok moving on.

What a 24 hours. My thoughts (that no one asked for, ha) Red carpet: SMASH. Icon behavior, as always. Joker response: I am a pretty hardcore cinephile and I am personally very disappointed to see the mixed response and to see that Gaga isn't the co-lead we all assumed when this project was announced. I am working hard to avoid spoilers before I see it, but I am let down. The first movie I thought was mostly photocopying other great works (e.g. Taxi Driver) - and doing it pretty well, but I didn't quite feel Todd's specific voice and I thought the movie was ok and didn't deserve the amount of Oscar noms it received. When this sequel was announced with Gaga I thought he'd really kick it up a notch and that adding music would create something really unique (which it likely still will be) where his voice really breaks through (I hope it still does) and stands as a powerful piece of cinema (maybe not though). Again, movies are subjective and sometimes it takes years and years to truly look at a movie and understand it and appreciate it. Especially movies that are really out there. I have no doubt Gaga is going to be absolutely amazing in it, regardless of being supporting or not. Joker box office: I do think this will impact the box office, both opening and the following weeks. The first film was divisive both for content and for the film itself. But it was new and fresh for a comic book film in many ways while being well made (especially for DC at the time). This might drag the opening down a bit but is more likely to play out in post-opening numbers if the audience feels similar to critics. I tend to fall closer to critic takes, but not always, and this film could truly go either way. It can punch up for sure. Also, there are no real blockbusters coming out in October except towards the end of the month with Smile 2 and Venom - which aren't surefire hits either. I think this could stop us from hitting a billion, but this movie will def do over 750+ worldwide and a billion is 100% very possible. If audiences like it, the sky is the limit. Also, the soundtrack being all covers won't give us any ASIB or traditional musical boon that a film gets when people love the soundtrack. Oscar chances: This definitely is a hard knock to Gaga. So that's a bummer. We'll have to see, but I do think they'll push her, but it'll REALLY depend on how people feel about her work in the movie when it comes out. Also, if the film gives her those breakthrough scenes that typically get someone nominated in the first place. We just won't know for a while. But leading up, we should at least get a vibe from the experts on GoldDerby (her switching from lead to supporting has basically eliminated her from the rankings for now since she previously had been considered as lead). LG7: I'm shook by the 4 month gap from lead to album, but I am HERE for it and I haven't been this excited for a Gaga album since probably BTW. We are being FED. If the casuals don't love the new single, they can croak. Vogue interview: Stunning, love every word. I am just so happy for her. SO SO HAPPY. So glad she found Michael. Secret project: To me, this has always been a musical soundtrack. I don't know if it's for the stage (e.g. on her own a la Waitress or with Lin) or a movie (e.g. rumored Jane film or something else), but I think it's a soundtrack. I think we'll know by the end of next year. I could see it being an original jazz record too, but rooting for a full LG7 musical. Die with a Smash: What more could be said. Talent won. Thanks for coming to my folie-a-ted-talk.

YES, KEEP IT COMING. Come on TEN MINUTES.

ASIB is an incredible film and we’re so lucky it was Gaga’s first major film. It’s a blessing. You don’t have to like it, but it’s a very well made film (it has flaws of course) that put Gaga’s acting career in A-list camp single handed because of how good it is, she is and the soundtrack is - like whoa.

Honestly, it's perfect. I love this WOMAN so much. I think she got an 7-8 minute standing O for ASIB, I'm expecting 10+ now.

@Matteo Remondi I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

THE HEADPIECE IS EVERYTHING OMFG

I agree it's similar to 2019 Oscars in that it's a black dress, but I really like it.
