I wonder what they think about these things she sais. It's like direct information that they treat her badly

I dream of her creating own record label

If I recall correctly, back when we were waiting for DWUW video, she said on twitter or LM that they treat her really good in Interscope and that they're like family or something like that :flop:

'Pain of Fame' sounds like a song title She didn't answer the last question regarding innovative ways to release music at all :confused: And oooooh the "People famous for no reason" :udidnt: I liked this interview overall :yes: Nice to see that she's putting her experiences into music again, and we'll hopefully know of it in a while when it's released :party:

It probably reminded her of the app :dead:

lol no she has almist never said something bad about her label infact she saud that they her treat her right and are like family to her .... Her acusations were towards her management and some people that were part of her team. She even said that during the ARTPOP era the mismanagement and miscomunnication happened from those who were btw her and the label where interscope didnt know for long time what was happening etc

It's easy for her to say money is not an issue because money has never been an issue in her life. Even if you buy into the narrative that her father didn't talk to her for a while after she started causing a commotion, there was never a threat that she wasn't going to be able to pay the rent. There was never a point where she didn't have a support system and the ability to rely on her family. She was never going to be homeless. The whole thing rings so false because she has never experienced the struggle of not knowing where her next meal was going to come from, let alone whether or not she was going to have a reliable housing situation. It's really quite insulting to her fans than didn't have the privileged uppringing that she experienced. No matter how much she strums that victim guitar, the reality is that she has no idea what its like to have nothing to fall back on.

I think honestly what we need to be doing, and this is my opinion, is instead of trying to find ways to trick the world into focusing on the album for a brief moment

That's totally irrelevant to her point, though. She wasn't comparing her life to her less advantaged fans, she was comparing who she is as an artist to the pop-star celebrity people expect her to be.

Even if her career failed completely she could still pay the rent, and make music. Not everyone could do the same, no. But she wasn't talking about anyone else's life.

pls tell me that when you're selling like a $500 lithograph or a $200 box set. k. thanks.

 

That's the music business.

 

That has nothing to do with what she values most. She values her music over money. It really isn't that hard to understand.

It doesn't matter what her intention was. The point is that she is completely out of touch with reality. Contrasting herself against other popstars with a victim narrative? She has experienced all the same advantages as the other girls. Her shortcomings and failures as an artist are her own. She operates under the same system as the rest of them.

That's not really pricey, though. This is pretty much standard for artists at her level. It's a way for record companies to bring in more money, by providing collector items or special box sets to those who want to invest or collect these types of special options. The pictures  wouldn't be collectable, if they weren't limited or signed. If they sent a poster out to everyone that sent in 2 or 3 dollars, then it wouldn't be a collectable and it wouldn't have much opportunity to appreciate in value.

 

That's how these things work. These are nice options for the super stans and they bring in more money to supplement the album and label. Labels are having to figure out how to make money, apart from just standard album sales, since everyone is just stealing the music now.

Do something about what?  That's the way big business runs. Some items cost more than other items. There are options for a wide range of income levels. Record labels are big business, so they are going to have options available for people at different income levels. Sorry that you can't afford a box set, but there are some people who can and who like to spend their money on collector items. There is nothing Gaga should "do about this". :smh:
