This album is having a somewhat renaissance the past few years. When it was released, I remember everyone calling it “ArtFlop” and everyone was “over” her theatrics. But NOW, it’s like this gem people are rediscovering and realizing it was actually kind of good and want her to do the theatrical stuff again. I think Rolling Stone or one of those even updated their score of it

the Swine performance at the itunes festival goes FUCKING HARD

HER BIGGEST PROJECT EVER! ARTPOP FOREVER! IT CHANGED ME!

This is Gaga’s most decisive album to date, during her hate train, she was also addicted to cocain and had a lot of problems with her former manager who left her just before the launch of ARTPOP, Do What U Want is a response to the media they can do whatever they want with her body (they said she was fat etc) but they won’t have her mind, Mary Jane Holland is an alter ego of hers and the song is also about Gaga’s addiction to weed, Applause is actually the only single they pushed, they tried to push Do What U Want but the controversy surrounding the music video also R.Kelly allegations at the time stopped the promo of the song, Swine is about her getting R*ped by a music producer when she was younger.. this is her messiest era. After ARTPOP she completely changed the trajectory of her career and made a jazz record with Tony Bennett and adopted a softer image. Also great reaction 💯💯👏🏻

And yes, EDM at the time this album was released was not as mainstream as it is today, which was why the album was crucified at the time, for presenting an unconventional sound for that time. And this album is also very important for the hyperpop scene because it experimented with many different sounds.

Zedd was a unknown producer back then, he sent gaga some beats and after hearing „30 seconds of a track, i got jimmy iovone (interscope boss) on the phone and told him he better sign that kid“ That was when zedd got his first contract. Then she sent him a private jet and flew him to her tour in asia. He dj‘ed opening for her show and after the concerts they worked till late nights on some tracks

Also what you said abt this being the precursor to the hyperpop boom is 1000% correct. the sound of this album is so ahead of it’s time and I’m glad that the public nowadays are finally giving it the credit it deserves

significant cultural commentary: artpop came out at the WORST part of her life as a celebrity. all of the general public had given up on her especially after she really hurt her body on the born this way ball tour. it was A NASTY time for her- and then this album came out and was met with sUCH negative critical backlash and for a very long time, gaga pretended artpop never even existed. it was bad. i implore you to watch an artpop cultural deepdive youtube video to really appreciate this

lmaoooo for GUY- love me love me please retweet- she tweeted near release that this line stands for the fact that the old RT symbol looked like 69ing LMAOOO

you are KILLING ME - - your humor/enthusiasm, your ear/observations, your technical knowledge/information is excellent. And on top of that, your genuine delight/appreciation/acknowledgement of gaga is so endearing and fun. ArtPop is a delight for me and I appreciate your reaction so much!

MY ARTPOP COULD MEAN ANYTTTTHIIIIIIING

R Kelly is a trash person. That song wasn't allowed on yt for me but I still left the commentary in the video 🫡

manicure is life changing. you really should watch the itunes fest that gaga headlined! she performed a few songs off artpop before it premiered and it is SUCH an intimate showing for her despite how big she was at the time-- it's some of her best work

Gaga did a tribute in the grammy's for david bowie when he passed away, she's a big fan of him

she did in fact performed at coachella lmaoooo

For artpop she recorded a collab with azalea banks (red flame) wich leaked but gaga cut her off from her album because „she has a bad attitude“ Also she recorded 2 songs with kendrick lamar, wich both leaked as well. She was on the original version of „bitch dont kill my vibe“ wich was released without her on his album. Both songs were cancelled by his team because gaga was „too gay“ and they thought it wouldnt be a good look on him…. Back in artpop times gaga was not taken seriously as an artist, the acclaim came later

Get ready for Joanne being a complete 180, it’s a lot more folk and country influenced and pretty much started the trend in 2016/2017 to create introspective lowkey albums (like Mileys Younger Now)

I'd never seen someone NOT KNOWING who Donatella Versace is OMFGGGGG So funny, loved this reaction

1:00:40 your smile here says it all. I am so glad that you loved ARTPOP! It was considered Gaga’s near career ending album and a “colossal” flop by so many at the time. It didn’t sell well, Applause was the only single that broke through and didn’t make it far. The backlash, hatred, and polarization of her fans and general music audience to it put Lady Gaga in a really dark place personally, mentally, and musically. She almost gave up on her career and walked away feeling that she had created this persona of Lady Gaga and sold it to the world and never got to be her true self. She did it for the Fame, became the Fame Monster, saw hope when she declared she was Born This Way, but was hated and ridiculed when she went experimental and was so ahead of her time with ARTPOP. If you are seeing this, I will say that Joanne, her next album, is after she took a long break and nearly quit. It is inspired by and a tribute to her aunt Joanne who she never met and who died young. It is a stripped down version of Gaga. A true showing of her roots. It is completely different sonically. I hope you are able to enjoy it still though but it definitely is nothing like these first 3/4 albums. Thank you for giving me this reaction! I needed it in my life more than you know and I cannot wait for Joanne. ❤ from America

YAASSSS HER BEST ALBUM Ps. Skrillex worked with her on a song from Chromatica, her last studio album!

Wanted to add in here that Lady Gaga has expressed in interviews that she was heavily addicted to "dope", where she would be smoking spliffs constantly. So for the song, it was a huge deal for her to say that as she was heavily dependent on it at that time. Just wanted to give perspective as it's a bit more, since it isn't as impactful if you don't know that.

When you mentioned David Bowie during Fashion! it's very accurate because Gaga is a *huge* Bowie fan. She has him tattooed on her ribcage. She also referenced him in her debut with the lightning bolt makeup. He has a song called Lets Dance, one of her first hits was Just Dance

A unreleased track from this era that I encourage you to look up is Partynauseous, which is another very in-your-face EDM. It was supposed to be a collaboration with kendrick Lamar for his album, but was scrapped due to "differences between their teams" (?). But it was used as an interlude during Artrave (artpop concert).

31:26 I'm here to connect things back to old shit. I'm glad you are taking your time to know each producer, because this song is about one of them. The artpop era was fun but it's one of the darkest moment in gaga's career because it was during this time when her PTSD from that sexual assault was peaking and haunting her. Excess sex, hard drugs, ostentation of expensive shit, hedonisms were all a coping mechanism for her. So when she had another artist throw up on her when performing to this song on stage, she was making us feel violated and repulsed by that trauma too but with pretty psychedelic colors. We'll return to this topic on planet Chromatica.

i feel like you entirely skipped over that venus is entirely self-produced! gaga's first self-produced released song!!!!

Gaga is a huge David Bowie fan, she started her career putting a lightning bolt on her face as a tribute, shes got a big tattoo of him, she did a tribute to him at the grammys

Fashion originally had. Bowie sample and clear references but his team didnt clear the allowence for the use. Gaga is a huge fan and has a big tattoo of his face on her ripcage.

omg.. clicked on youtube wondering what to watch and saw you uploaded this one minute ago - its a sign

On the world tour for born this way she literally broke her hip during a performance of the song „scheiße“ in montreal. Applause is a song she wrote because the applause and her fandom kept her going.

When i got the notification of you uploading the reaction…. I went to a small shop (here in berlin we call it späti) and i got myself a bottle of rotkäpchen to enjoy this journey with you. Its like hearing the album for the first time again.

52:23 fun fact done was originally I wanna be with you about Gaga’s fans on tour written on born this way tour, she performed it live, their use are that it changed in the final album because she wanted it for the album and for fans and interscope wanted it as a single so she made it non single material

I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO HEAR CHROMATICA OMFGGGGG

I clicked on this so fast!! I will never understand how Artpop flopped when it came out, it's probably some of my favorite work by Gaga, and the visuals for the Venus/G.U.Y video are blissfully divine. The world just wasn't ready for it. To quote her in Judas "but in the cultural sense, I just speak in future tense", she's always been ahead of her time, and she knows it.

my favorite of hers. just so different for a popstar of her status and ahead of its time. Mary Jane Holland one of the best songs ever

Him: "...I'm not ready for this to end" Gypsy starts: "Sometimes a story has no end..." Poetry❤ Artpop ❤

If you ever get the opportunity, go to a Lady Gaga concert when she goes on tour (hopefully within the next 2 years for her new upcoming album. She recently was on tour in 2022). Her shows are full of energy and chaotic! You should watch clips of her Born This Way Ball Tour and Art Rave tours as they are some of the best!

Oh my god you did do it!! I didn’t want to get my hopes up but you did it! I am not ready for this. 😮❤😂🎉

Love your reactions king

i LIVE for your reactions!! ♥

I love how in love with Gaga you are. Lovingly calling her 'bitch' all the time, and 'swine'. Saying she's you and you are her. So cute to see! Love your reactions!

YESS NEXT STOP IS CHROMATICA

Omg I have been waiting for this reaction!!!

I’m obsessed with this Gaga journey you’re in and your commentary is so spot on - it’s just incredible.

The song swine is about a rape she had to experience with a producer on her first album who made her pregnant and kicked her out on the street of the recording studio.. Its about rage. She did a very famous performance of that sont where she was riding a rodeo mechanical bull and had a woman literally throw up and puke all over gagas body. Its worth a watch. Officially we dont know wich producer that was but unofficial the fans know who that was. He might have the same first name as me. Do with that information whatever u like.

You defenitally should watch her performance of 'Swine' in the SXSW festival. Trust me... 🤑

I'm so exited to watch this video!

Gaga was one of the first people to support Zedd, very early in his career. She kind of discovered him

I love artpop so much, great reaction

Fun hearing your perspective as someone who loves music and EDM but never listened to Gaga before thanks!

ARTPOP was ahead of its time!!!

Been waiting for this one.

ARTPOP FOREVER 🔵

Fun fact in Venus her singing Venus is made to sound like PP/the male parts 😂

ARTPOP is my home in the Gaga universe! At the time I was going through a lot of shit and the release this album allowed me to have is what I needed. Seeing you react to this album brought me back and I love it! So happy you’re getting to experience Gaga’s discography

Can't get enough gof your Gaga reaction's you just get it! Looking forward to your Joanne & Chromatica reactions.

The chromatica reaction is going to hit like crack

Love your Gaga Reactions so much!!! Great Guy👍

Good good, was waiting for this.

Love your Gaga reactions!

Youll really enjoy Gaga's Chromatica album! Lots of house music inspiration! Please post that reaction! 🙏🏻

I loved this reaction! 🥹

The David Bowie inspiration on Fashion was such a good call! I never caught that but now that you point it out it feels so obvious lol

i just finished this and i loved every second of it

Since, Anitta, just released THE album of her career, and it is called FUNK GENERATION, you should react to it. The best Brazilian funk album ever made... And it's in spanish/english/portuguese. Pleaseee ❤

I believe at the time Gaga also performed a David Bowie tribute. She had cited Bowie since the start as her inspiration to her very Gaga persona (not name, that is Radio Gaga)

Haven't watched the video yet, but I commented on your Fame Monster video a month ago that you should react to Artpop and NOW YOU DID, so I'm really excited and here I go.

Dope is more about her taking accountability for her addiction, and saying she needs her fans/family/career more than drugs

I love your gaga reactions!

Great reaction ❤️

im sorry im not typing my comments as a paragraph and instead of thoughts as i encounter them but i cant help it, artpop has been my favorite album since it was released. as a jewels n drugs day 1 defender i am vindicated right now by having someone else join my army!

"Are we going western?" Babe, were going EVERYWHERE 🚀

ARTPOP is a fckn masterpiece!!! the album of the millenium! so underrated, so glad you took time to give it a listen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just came here to see you react to Aura 😂 This is my top Lady Gaga album. So many bangers🔥

The term for the synth in the bridge of MJH is "arpeggio". It's when the notes of a chord ascend and descend rapidly on loop.

I listened to zedd right before his big break and you can really tell his signature is all over this album

ARTPOP grew and grew and grew on me…literally everytime I listen I have a different favorite song. Also I always loved the album and enjoyed every song but there were a few that I LOVED the most but then after seeing her perform them live I absolutely fell in love. In particular ARTPOP, Manicure, and Sex Dreams went from enjoying them about as much as I enjoy anything Gaga does….and I’m a massive fan to being songs I listen to quite often and love.

VENUS!! she self produced that song herself and worked so hard on it I love it😩🔥such a good album and underrated

Donatello Versace is the sister of Gianni Versace. She took over after Gianni passed and has been really kept the brand relative with the inclusion of artists like lady Gaga, dua lipa, Megan the stallion and models Bella and Gigi hadid and many more.

AHHHHH im so excited AHHHHHHH

Found your channel 2 days ago, and IMMEDIATELY thought you had to do ARTPOP

pleeaaase you have to react to the iTunes Festival performance, she performed demo songs before the album came out. The performance is super raw and i think youll really appreciate it

lovee yr gaga reactions!

Greatgreat Album. I love it so much! ❤😂🎉

greatest ARTPOP reaction ever

I am a really huge fan of Gaga since The fame. I really like Artpop even when people were throwing stones on me because I enjoyed artpop. 11 years later, I muss say that I really still live for Venus, G.U.Y or Applause. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for this video. First time on your channel and what an exeprience! Thousand thanks, you explained to me why I loved (and obviously love) Artpop that much 💚

Me as a Brazilian, smiling when you said Brazilian funk sounds 🥰🥰

Joanne is country so I’m praying you’ll like it 💀💀

OMG im excited about your Lady Gaga - Joanne Album reaction it is a 360 in her career

can't wait for the chromatica reaction!

@tamerail I’m sure someone said it already but “Mary Jane Holland” not only is yes a reference to weed/marijuana but also Mary Jane Holland was a fake name she would use when partying as her alter ego and she would throw on a brown wig. Hard to explain but basically she would get high and drunk and have fun with friends apparently in Amsterdam and she was pretending to be a different person to be silly and Mary Jane Holland was the name she came up with.

I’m so excited

I'm so happy that I got to experience peak Gaga at the same time of my peak club/rave years.

I WAS WAITIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGG FOOR THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!

the instrumental versions of her albums are also marvelous

i know i know the competition is tough af but this is still my no. 1 gaga it’s magic

Do What U Want is one of the best songs on the album, and indeed of her career. The guy who features on it is a bad guy, too bad. Nothing can be done about that. The art still exists.

Artpop is my favorite! Are you going to listen to the A Star is Born soundtrack after Joanne? I know it is a soundtrack, but she wrote and produced 90% of it. I would argue that she did more on that soundtrack than many other artists do on their own albums.🙃It was also more commercially successful than her past 2 albums.

One of the best artist of all times!!!!!
