giskardsb 12,565 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 1. Mediamass is the worst site ever, 100% of what's written there is FAKE as Angela's ChengOop, Mea Culpa, that's what I get for not checking sources close enough. Didn't realize it's a satire site.In any case, the point is that if you dig into many artist's history they will have a long list of endorsements and side projects. There is absolutely no relation between these projects and the expected "artistic integrity" of their other work. Gaga likes animals, she wants to start a side business to supply pet accessories. Big whoop. People are making a big deal out of nothing.I guess she should have started a business of ultra chic and expensive s-x toys, that would be acceptable to this group.

Nafen 417 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 For me it is not about music at all. It was said that she won't release anything in 2015 and it's completely ok. She can take as much time as she wants. It's the whole pet clothing line that makes fans angry. The fact that she encourages people to treat their pets as babies makes me upset. Dressing your pet who is not supposed to be dressed is not an expression of love for your pet. They never feel ok with ridiculous clothes. They want to be free. If she wants to express her love to animals and share it with the world, she could stop wearing fur, donate money to animal shelters or even build one herself. She could encourage her fans to take animals from shelters and so on. The pet clothing line is ridiculous and unnecessary. That is why fans are disappointed. Actually my sister's chihuahua NEEDS to wear a little sweater during the winters where I live otherwise he is cold. He constantly shakes miserably without it on. The house usually lurks around 18-20 C or 65-70 F in the winters, not unreasonable. This is a clear example of 'mom science' you're using, that is your claim that animals hate clothing.

Katie14 4,828 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I really don't get why so many of you are claiming she's being fake and disingenuous with this project. She and her team have spent months planning it and she's obviously very involved and enthusiastic about it. Comparing her to people like Paris or Kim, who spend little to no effort on the actual creative process and just slap their name on the finished product, really undermines how much effort and energy Gaga actually makes a point to invest in her projects. Gaga obviously loves Asia very much and wanted to do a project involving her. Its definitely silly and frivolous and I have no real personal interest in it, but if its something she's passionate about then who am I to judge? I didn't see people complaining when she released two perfumes and those didn't have any more to do with her "artistic integrity" than this does. You all mostly just sound upset because she's releasing something most of you will get little to no use out of. I understand the disappointment, but that doesn't justify being bitter or judging her for it.I think the whole concept of celebrities using their name to promote a product is inherently cheap and fake. There are of course different levels of this and exceptions. If a celebrity is truly passionate about a product and is involved in the creation (or uses an already developed product) this doesn't really bother me. Take Gaga's first perfume for example. her and her team created an innovative product and Gaga was very much involved in the development. It seems like Gaga put a lot of thought into the perfume and its concept. She was passionate about it. I saw this project as just another creative outlet for her.I think the pet clothing line can also be considered a creative outlet and isn't really different in that sense from the Fame perfume. I don't like the project because dogs shouldn't wear clothes. It is cruel to force an animal into an outfit just because the owner thinks its cute.I hate it when celebrities just stamp their name on a product that they have no involvement in or pretend to use a product for advertising purposes (Katy Perry and Adam Levine proactive commercials). This is truly fake and basically the definition of selling out.The dog food seems to me like she is just stamping her name on a product. If having grain free, organic, locally grown dog food was an original and innovative idea, this wouldn't bother me. But, this type of food already exists. The only thing that makes this food special is the fact that Gaga's name will be on it. Obviously Gaga will not be involved in making the food or figuring out the ingredients. What does she know about dog nutrition? You just can't use the explanation of "this is a creative outlet for her" on this one.The whole project makes me feel like I can't relate to Gaga as much anymore. It makes her seem less like a real person and more like a fake celebrity or brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes her seem less like a real person and more like a fake celebrity or brand. I doubt she knew any more about perfume development than she would about pet food. But both are projects she cares about and put personal effort into. I fail to see what the difference is between the two apart from the fact that fans have more of a potential personal use for one but not the other and are trying to justify their discontent by blaming her.She's at a different point in her life and she's working on further developing her brand and creating security for her future. And endorsements and product deals are a reliable source of income for artists like Gaga. She is engaged and will probably have to plan for a family at some point after all, and I get the impression that a lot of her fanbase can't understand that new part of her life. If you can't relate then you can't relate, but honestly that's more your problem than it is hers. Sorry if that sounds harsh but I don't know what else to tell you :/If anything fans should find comfort in the fact that she chooses to pursue projects she has a personal connection to and creative involvement in, which was my point to begin with.

Mills 446 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Meaningless marketing expressions like "creative director" and "artistic visionary" can't obfuscate how lame it is for a performance artist to release a range of pet accessories. You'd have to be drunk from licking Eau De Gaga out of a Lady Gaga Dog Bowl to think this entire project isn't cringeworthy and purely profit driven. I adore her, but I think my days on this site are numbered, and it bums me out. I wasn't drunk when I've read this news and I didn't find, and still do not find, putting up a product line for pets anywhere near cringeworthy. Possibly because I grew up with a business-oriented outlook in life and I honestly find nothing embarrassing for anyone to start up a business, particularly if they're not illegal, regardless of their social status, whether they're part of the rich and famous or the ones who tirelessly climb up the financial ladder. It's their business. Also, "purely profit driven" is endlessly debatable since it's merely an assumption and not an absolute fact, in the same way as it being "not purely profit driven" is - until there's a public admission from Gaga herself. It's also not being naive to believe that there are people who do business not purely for profits per se since passion is also a driver for some to venture into a business of their liking. So one can't blame others into choosing to believe that Gaga's doing this out of her passion. I genuinely understand that you're disappointed because you have your own personal expectations on her like we all do. But to suggest that those who find this project not cringeworthy and not purely profit driven, like myself, are blindly supporting her as though they're dogs for us to be "drunk from licking... out of a dog bowl" is unnecessarily insulting, isn't it?

Sorry if that sounds harsh but I don't know what else to tell you :/If anything fans should find comfort in the fact that she chooses to pursue projects she has a personal connection to and creative involvement in, which was my point to begin with. With the perfume, Gaga had input on what the scent would be like, the color of the perfume, the design of the bottle, and the whole concept behind the perfume ( something like the perfume looking and smelling seductive from afar but really being dangerous). She was involved in every step of the development and the product was innovative. The type of food she is describing exists already. Its not going to add anything to the market. What is she going to do to make the dog food unique besides putting her name on the bag? And how much input is she really going to have in its creation? Dog food is developed specifically by nutritionists to have certain ratios of macro nutrients and micro nutrients. Its not like perfume where she can have more flexibility with the ingredients. That is the difference.Think of it like this, if a regular person wanted to develop a product, wouldn't the product have to be innovative and unique in order for it to be successful? I don't like the idea of a celebrity product doing well just because of their name, not because there is a place for that product in the market.That's just the way I see it. I know that there is sort of a subtlety there and I understand if you don't agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
