If you like what you read here, there\u2019s plenty more to check out in the guide!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lady-gaga-on-failure\">Lady Gaga on Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Banayan wasn\u2019t able to sit down with Lady Gaga for an official interview, but he did meet her briefly. And, through a mutual acquaintance, he became involved in planning her media response to the criticism of her recently released album. He watched the way she handled that criticism. And, here&#8217;s what he learned from Lady Gaga: Failure can be turned into success if you have a strong sense of your values\u2014and if the failure aligns with those values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phenomenal success of her first two albums made Gaga a worldwide star. But, critics panned her third album, <em>ARTPOP<\/em>, and sales were low. For several months after the album\u2019s release, Gaga struggled to respond to this criticism, and the negative reviews were hard on her. However, she ultimately realized that the unusual character of her album\u2014which is what prompted the negative reviews\u2014was consistent with her brand of always defying expectations. Since her previous albums had been so well-received, it was fitting that she then release an album that appealed more to a fringe audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By embracing the message that the low sales and bad ratings of the album <strong>actually reflected its underlying strengths,<\/strong> Gaga was able to emerge from the experience with a sense that she was in control of the narrative. She even ramped up the strangeness of the album by making all-the-more bizarre performances, including having someone vomit on her on stage. She publicly compared this strangeness to Andy Warhol\u2019s art, thus positioning her album alongside recognized great art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>When to Acknowledge Wrongs Instead of Framing Them as Positives<\/strong><br><br>There were a number of reasons Gaga\u2019s 2013 album <em>ARTPOP<\/em> was poorly received by critics and the public. Some people called it pretentious and objected to Gaga\u2019s unusual artistic choices, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2014\/03\/14\/lady-gaga-vomit-sxsw-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vomit performance<\/a> Banayan mentions. But, another focus of criticism, which Banayan doesn\u2019t discuss, was that the album seemed to <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/lady-gaga-artpop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trivialize and profit off of sexual assault<\/a>.<br><br>One song in particular, \u201cDo What U Want,\u201d featured a duet with R. Kelly, who was widely recognized as a sexual predator. Gaga also created a music video with Kelly\u2014never officially released, but leaked\u2014that many interpreted as a glamorization of rape.<br><br>It <em>can<\/em> be argued that Gaga\u2019s response to the pushback against the sexual assault themes was a way to position weaknesses as strengths: She told Howard Stern the songs about rape and demoralization allowed her to release the pain she felt.<br><br>However, she did ultimately acknowledge, without spinning it as a strength, the weakness of her collaboration with R. Kelly. After the full extent of his sexual assault history became publicized in 2019, she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ladygaga\/status\/1083237788663697408?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued an apology<\/a> saying she regretted working with him and that doing so had shown poor judgment.<br><br>Though Gaga\u2019s apology came after the publication of <em>The Third Door<\/em>, Banayan might argue that Gaga was still letting her values guide her decisions and move her past her setbacks. In this case, it was not so much to <em>justify<\/em> her setbacks or frame them as wins but instead, to acknowledge them honestly and demonstrate growth.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did Lada Gaga respond to the criticism she received for her album ARTPOP?
