Lady Gaga - Joanne (World Tour), Vegas Residency

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I don't know what's going on in here. Unless we're talking alternative facts, in which case, yes, it's an alternative fact that Joanne has already outperformed ANTI. Reports say it has sold 1.5 million.

1.5 million WHERE?

And where are these reports coming from?

[Caviar]

Idk but Rihanna got her $25 million regardless.

Kellyanne Conway said so herself so it must be true.

LG6, or an album involving Gaga rather, is on target for October 2017 release (via Breatheheavy).

[Ivy Leegue™]

My money is on C2C Part II.

[SPRΞΞ]

isn't she involved with a movie of some sorts? Could it be the soundtrack?

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I forget. Is that a reliable source? I'd say C2C2 also. Seems odd that there'd be rumblings of a Gaga album this far in advance on the heels of Joanne, regardless of how Joanne is doing.

[when the pawn...]

I'd love nothing more than a full new pop album from Gaga in 2017 but I highly doubt it. Not since 2009 has she had turnover like that.

Here is the article which mentions it

The NFL Won't Pay Lady Gaga To Perform At The Super Bowl Halftime Show (Forbes)

If you're an independent creative or run a small business, you've most likely been offered little to no payment in exchange for an exposure opportunity - but if you assumed this arrangement wouldn't fly for superstars playing the Super Bowl halftime show, then you're wrong.



Musicians make money through a number of revenue streams including album sales, merchandise, licensing and live performances. If you had to guess how much a global superstar would collect to play during one of the largest sporting events in the world, you may be way off. Lady Gaga, like her Super Bowl predecessors Coldplay, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Madonna, Katy Perry and the Black Eyed Peas, will perform for the staggering cost of $0.00 this year.

The biggest brands and advertisers still agree that the Super Bowl is the most prestigious marketing platform available today. Drawing in over 200 million eyeballs, the highly anticipated event offers an incredible opportunity for exposure. Amongst the swarm of content and festivities, the halftime show performance is unique, and stands out from the crowds of companies willing to pay north of $5 million for just 30 seconds in the spotlight.



While this may seem shocking, it’s actually a very logical marketing move – what she’ll forgo in direct payment, she’ll make up for with valuable exposure. Over 100 million viewers will only increase her popularity. She’ll likely have a tour to follow, which means a big payday for her - the Monster Ball Tour in 2011 grossed $239 million.



The results are easy to quantify, and the numbers speak for themselves. According to FORBES, just a week after Bruno Mars played the big show three years ago, his album Unorthodox Jukebox shot from No. 7 to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 as sales spiked 92% to 81,000. The year before that, Beyoncé’s album 4 leapt 59% right after her performance.



According to Nielsen and Adweek, 2016’s Super Bowl 50, with 111.9 million viewers was the third most-watched U.S. telecast in history. In 2015, 49.7 million viewers were in the 18-49 demographic, an audience perfectly suited for Lady Gaga’s music.



Even though Lady Gaga won’t be paid her typical performance fees, and it’s easy to argue that isn’t fair, the NFL will cover all of her production expenses. These costs are massive (ranging from $600,000 to $10 million in the past), so that is not a small consolation.



If all goes smoothly, Lady Gaga will join the success of those before her. After all, the world is watching, for better or for worse. As Mariah Carey (with her recent New Year’s Eve lip-syncing disaster) and Janet Jackson (with her Justin Timberlake accompanied NC-17 "exposure’"on network television) have shown us the past, an opportune live performance can have its potential downfalls as well. With all of this said, I’m still confident that Lady Gaga will come out on top after her performance, and reap the benefits of that legendary stage.



Correction: This article previously stated that Lady Gaga will release a new album slated for early October 2017. Gaga has not announced a release date for her next album.

Artists are generally not paid for the Superbowl half-time show. The payment is the invitation and huge exposure.

Don't Worry About What 'Joanne' Songs Lady Gaga Is Gonna Perform at the Super Bowl

[SPRΞΞ]

i swear Applause and Do What U Want are her two best songs.

I so hope that she won't bring any guests...She doesn't need them! c'mon Stefani be self-indulgent in a right place for once!!!

Radio station yesterday said Tony Bennett was joining Gaga at the Superbowl???

[85la]

So now that it's all but a given that Million Reasons is done, they should push A-YO into full gear going into the Superbowl, which I still think has the strongest single potential from the album.

It would be great to see LG perform the Oscar nominated song Audition (la la land) at the oscars.

[chris]

I've heard that Joanne Tour tickets sales will start on the 20th

[chris]

And it will be Lady Gaga w/ special guest

Mark Ronson?

[Glove Slap]

Every now and then, I still kick myself for not pulling out all the stops to see The Monster Ball. And even back then, I had the assumption that she'd sputter out and descend out of the stratosphere, so I don't even have the excuse that I thought it'd happen again.

I did end up catching her about a year and a half ago with Tony, but I'm just not interested in paying to see the stage version of this album. I'll hold off til the next big Pop wave in music hopefully pushes her into some kind of similar direction.

I'd recommend checking out The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden on Blu-ray or DVD then. I caught that tour a month before the "Born This Way" album came out and the recorded show is a great representation of what I saw that night. It's definitely a good mix of the material from "The Fame" and "The Fame Monster".

I'd kill for a real studio version of "Glitter and Grease" too. I have no idea if that even exists.

[SPRΞΞ]

The Monster Ball was good, but she talked too damn much and it killed the momentum a number of times. To the point I, and others, were getting mad. So I give the show as a whole a B. If she would just shut up lol.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I saw the Monster Ball twice. Once in Toronto and once during the HBO taping just after Born This Way came out. It was such a treat and she performed Born This Way twice in the encore. Once a cappella (I think because there were technical difficulties) and then again with the music (which is what made the DVD).

I love when artists talk between songs in concert. I actually don't like when there's nothing said between songs. You got to have something said, and better if it's spontaneous or doesn't sound rehearsed. It helps bridged that connection.

Same here. I saw her on the first leg in Chicago, and later in the tour in Miami when she started performing "Born This Way".

I also saw her on The Fame Ball Tour and at the ArtRave, both of which I loved.

Taking into account how great her vocals have been this era, I'm sure I'll be seeing her a fifth time.
