Desperado 2,439 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Honestly I don't understand people freaking out about Interscope controlling people. I mean, if I'm correct Lana Del Rey is part of Interscope and she seems to be happy and not controlled. they tried to change her album tho, with Paul Epworth and he ended only as a bonus track (Black Beauty) because she fought for her vision. BWET didnt got a release date because they wanted hits on there, so if AB didnt record one, not release her for. But she wanted her album as how she wanted it, so she left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego 44,165 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Do you remember that tweet from her all excited to play ARTPOP to her label? Then we didn't hear from her some time. They made her to start over. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'm not saying that Interscope was completely innocent. That's obviously not the case, but everyone has to take accountability for their actions. Gaga is not an Angel, nor is she perfect. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well, I rarely read people blamed Interscope per se, people have always blamed Gaga and manager, we'll never know what happened exactly, so it's really time to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,130 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't think anybody is to 'blame' for the performance of ARTPOP. I wish Gaga had a little more freedom in a way, I almost feel like she could fund her own projects at this point but then again it's easy for me to say. I understand why Gaga wouldn't want to spend every dollar she has on her art. She also has a life and I'm sure she wants to settle down with Taylor at some point. I think the DWUW video should have been released, I don't think the tour should have started so early either. She should have had more time to promote G.U.Y and other singles. It seems like ARTPOP was basically scrapped after DWUW and that's a shame, I'm glad that Gaga at least funded an amazing video for G.U.Y but it would have been great if Interscope had trusted her a little more. She has already proven herself to her label, I mean thinking long term, it would look better on her legacy if she had an "Experimental, controversial underperformance" than just a two single era with poor management. If she remains signed with Interscope that means more money for them in the future. If we had a video for DWUW and the telephone continuation with Aura then we have two controversial, boundary pushing singles. Aura isn't entirely radio friendly either. Looking back and seeing Applause, DWUW, G.U.Y and Aura as the singles of an era would have shown amazing diversity and a boundary pushing unique piece of work. I'm sure with more promotion for G.U.Y it would have performed better too, meaning more hits to her name. In ten years time though, we could look back and say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewStevens 5,249 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't agree because I don't blame just Interscope... I blame everybody. Interscope, Gaga and Troy. They are responsible too because at the end of the day they decide what gets a release. They are responsible for their money and where it goes. They are the parents in this situation.

Ray of Light 8,134 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's hard to pin point the blame on a specific entity. I genuinely believe that the universe is against GAGA and it's not in her destiny to be majorly successful again. Voodoo voodoo, voodadada Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIex 3,102 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 INTERSCOPE wouldn't let her do the singles the way she wanted. INTERSCOPE wouldn't let her do Burqa. INTERSCOPE made her basically change the entire ARTPOP album before releasing. INTERSCOPE wouldn't let her do a video for every song. INTERSCOPE wouldn't let her do Act II.

Hewkah 48 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I may sound silly making this post, but here goes: I honestly believe the original, and intended ARTPOP, had TEA, Temple, and Onion Girl on it (as well as others.) However, last minute Gaga was forced to make a few changes. I honestly believe some of the songs on ACT II were originally supposed to be on ACT 1: and the ARTPOP version we now have was a quick, last minute fix. TEA, for example, always sounded amazing to me - well, the quotes we got from Gaga about it on twitter and other sources. I think Interscope made her change a lot of things, including Burqas name change to Aura, and the first verse of the song which a lot of our fanbase now dislikes. The reason, I believe, the first verse was changed was because in the demo, she was extremely eccentric and shouty. To me, it sounded absolutely EPIC, but Interscope obviously had different ideas. That's why the vocals were suddenly changed - or in some cases toned down. I don't think Interscope is to blame for most of it, though. We know what Gaga is like for her "Betrayels" and false promises. How many of these promises were her fault - we'll never know for certain. However, ARTPOP wasn't what it was supposed to be. That's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I'm correct Lana Del Rey is part of Interscope and she seems to be happy and not controlled. lol she turned in ultraviolence and they were shocked there was no "hits" on it they made her a meeting to re-produce them with adele's producer, which then he told them no cause he thought it was great already which then interscope agreed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
