I never thought I would be saying this, but I am actually growing tired of Gaga. The problem is that everyhting she does is epic, amazing, iconic... Before she releases it. I like her concepts and ideas, but she doesnt seem to know how to work them out good. With The Fame Monster everything was perfect because she wasnt trying to be anything. With Born This Way she tried too hard to create an iconic album and it wasnt as succesful as she expected... With ARTPOP she is talking about art and pop together. And I actually was very excited about it, until the era started. Applause is a great song, but its pretty safe and even basic. The lyrics are too strange, i dont think they even make sense lol. The video is really great, i was expecting some storyline but still amazing. The VMA performance was meh, her vocals werent good, and it wasnt really memorable. And then the iTunes Festival:
1. Aura: Judas was Bad Romance 2.0, and Aura is Judas 2.0. Stil a great song, but nothing too innovative
2. MANiCURE: a fun and catchy song, lets see if the studio version is great
3. ARTPOP: the lyrics are good, and the beat is great, but it reminds me of Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez
4. Sex Dreams: this is a really great track, the studio version is going to be perfect
5. Jewels & Drugs: im probably the only one who likes it lol
6. I Wanna Be With You: 6464658 worse than Princess Die. Its a cute song, but the lyrcis are nothing great
7. Swine: very surprised with it! I like it a lot!
The problem is that even if I like the songs, I was expecting something way better...or maybe different. This is more POPART than ARTPOP. I just want Gaga to stop "trying" tobe iconic and memorable and just focus on her music. I still love her and her music, its just that I would love to be surprised but I cant be if she overhypes everything she does
