VforVendetta 2,024 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I never said that most popstars are good.But it's not only about the "recycled music".They hate seeing strong women like Gaga.Gaga never had "recycled music".She was always original and talented..How can you explain the fact that they hate/hated her? I never blamed only the country.I am actually very critical of the music industry.. And as you said here "Also countries with heavy music tradition like ours tend to be less accepting to the Commercial music of the U.S. and this is proved." You pretty much agree with my first statement.So it was just rude to call me a racistThey dislike Gaga because the only reason the media in Greece halve ever mentioned her since TF days is when she gets undressed or does something they label ridiculous. And I didn't call you a racist, I said that the way you express that is racist. I agree that 400 years of slavery have kept us behind from many others in Europe when it comes to progressiveness but your statement is like we are a third world country. We are one of the very few countries in Europe that in such a heavy crisis today have a leftish government. Don't judge us that hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't judge us that hard.I've actually seen a lot of positive stuff on the greek TV about Gaga.They were talking about her Oscar performance all the time,they always talk about her singles and her videos etc. I will admit that I really hate the way most people here think.Because they are so judgemental with everything and they can't accept the people that are different.

Dodo 313 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Wasn't Gaga able to schedule a show in Greece at one of the biggest stadiums in the world--of which many popstars cannot fill? I don't understand this thread, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this thread, really. The fact that 35.000 people went to see her live means that she is popular.It doesn't mean that people love her. She obviously has a fanbase here..I know a lot of Greek Monsters..But people just hate her.. Please don't talk if you don't live in Greece.Because you will never understand how people here are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Venus 473 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah I am totally racist with myself.... It's just that people are close-minded and think that popstars are just untalented marketing tricks.. Not everyone obviously.But that's how the general public thinks.. It's not racist.. I live in Greece too.. And people are indeed close-minded. Lol. I'm Greek too but it does sound racist. It's a pointless generalisation. But I have to agree that people started to see how talented she is. Many of my friends think she's talented,not only as a singer but also as a performer etc .For some strange reason they keep asking me to play DWUW for them.

I stated A LOT OF TIMES that I am talking about MOST people not everyone.Obviously Greece has a lot of open minded people and people that love pop music.But 95% of the people (if not more) are not like this I agree that DWUW could be a smash btw. It did well even without a video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
