​Why does everything have to be released for attention and hype? Why can't something just be released because Gaga wants to release it, something for the fans, not to bring about some huge publicity, not all things that get attention are great, and not all things that don't get attention are bad. Why should she have to replicate the stardom of The Fame Monster? That's a huge undertaking, Monsters should stop expecting everything to be that successful, the world has become a different place since 2009, it would take a miracle for anyone to create such an impact that that album did, albums that change music and popstardom come once in a blue moon, not every album should be held to the standard of one that changed the game only 6 years ago, an album like that comes around maybe every 10 years. 

​Now, I respect artists who value their artistry but I think people should stop acting like charts and sales aren't important at all. If you're Marina Abromovic or Rob Wilson or Jeff Koons, fair enough. But this is Lady Gaga we are talking about, Lady Gaga is supposed to chart well. Lady Gaga is supposed to sell a great amount of singles and albums not because her fans want it (although we do actually), but because we know how detrimental a flop album can be to a pop artist, we are securing her future career, or at least to improve it and prevent it from going wrong when right now we can actually do something before it's too late, Lady Gaga actually cares about charts, she was so affected when the media bashed her on ARTPOP's underperformance, she even wrote Do What U Want to prove that, though the album did sell 2,500,000 copies and went on to #1 in many countries. I mean she clearly was constantly stating that she didn't give a phuq about charts but through her actions, can't you see that she was struggling in between? Anyway, what's so wrong about getting attention? If you see it the positive way, we just want our lady's work to reach as many people as possible and to let people enjoy the things that we think is good. Isn't that a very positive thing to happen? In order to achieve this, we have to start doing things right not for the current album she's promoting but also for the sake of her future albums. We have to keep Gaga in a positive state, we push her so that she demands from herself, and she'll deliver good things for us. If everything she puts out flops, do you think she will have the enthusiasm and passion to still write music for us? Do you think she have the money to purchase the things needed in show biz and even the budget to tour?

I know I sound ridiculous and I sound like a total "bling" fan but this is how we ought to treat and expect from a pop star. Everything I suggest is for the benefit of her. Not everyone especially the GP, nor even some fans value artistry like you do. I do, actually. But think of other fans, especially the fans who bashed on Cheek to Cheek claiming it's boring. Remember she lives for the Applause.

I don't expect her to get #1 for every song she releases or sell 10,000,000 copies for every album she releases, but at least she has to maintain a decent chart performance and not go backwards in terms of charts every time she puts out something.
