Look, the woman has a solid voice and she can sing, but beyond that... I don't see what makes her so incredibly special.
She basically broke through with a few catchy pop tunes and built up this massive army of gay fans who act like a literal cult—buying everything, following her every move, and worshipping the ground she walks on.
Even now, when she’s trying to pivot into "serious" musical territory—you know, like that jazz record she did with those old-school legends—or moving into acting, they’re still stuck mourning the "old" Gaga. They miss the era where she was playing the clown, walking around in outfits that looked like they came straight from a butcher shop... and yet, they follow her blindly regardless.
And wasn't there some story about people writing fake negative reviews for "Bohemian Rhapsody" or whatever other film was actually competing with her?
I honestly don't know a single singer out there with fans that unhinged.
Maybe only Beyoncé can actually compete with her when it comes to having a fanatic following.
You heard wrong, unfortunately. I think you’re confusing this with those Madonna fans on X who were basically acting like armchair critics, flooding the internet with bad takes on "A Star Is Born." You can see the same pattern on IMDb, too—the lowest ratings almost always come from men over 45, which is exactly Madonna's core demographic.
