It's ok to worry about Gaga

[Schwerk 7,246]

Lately there's a lot of discussion on Gaga mentioning and showing cigarettes on Instagram. Some monsters comment on this, wondering why shes doing this, saying she's glamourizing smoking. And they get very one sided 'mind your own business' type of comments, which I don't think is always fair 

Ofcourse all these comments on her smoking and drinking and lipinjections can be annoying because we all should agree that Gaga can do what she wants because she's grown ass woman.

But I do feel it's ok to share your feelings if you worry about her a bit.  Most of us don't just care about her music, but about her as a person. And she's had her fair share of bad habbits that got out of control in the past. Alcoholism, d--gaddicton, self harm, eating disorders.

So maybe it's not that strange some monsters worry about her when she posts shes having cigarettes and wine for breakfast? 

She can do what she wants, and I don't want to judge her, but there's a part of me that worries shes smoking and drinking to calm her appetite to stay thin, which is not a good habbit.

Some fans like to discuss albumsales or wiglines to death, others a--lyse her personality.

In all honesty, I feel the same way. Drinking alcohol - even in the morning before eating, so much cigarettes and coffee etc. - I'm worried. I really am. I'm not judging her life style - she can do whatever th f*ck she wants and it's her right to destroy her body (I'm not saying she is - it's depending on the dosis of course - a little bit once in a while is okay I guess), but I'm worried and it's my right to be I think, no offense.

It's a forum, no one should try to censor anything here.

[Bitter 3,640]

Let me repeat myself.

Apart from the health issue I just don't understand how can a singer be so STUPID to smoke and destroy their voice instead of protecting it. 

Her voice is the most important "tool" of her job, It's like a personal trainer eats 24/7 junk food and not workout. 

Stupid and unprofessional, that's all.

Because it's hard to quit.

EDIT: Don't you think she knows it's bad for her? She's 30 and of course it's stupid for her to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes but you know what? She is an addict and has been for over a decade. I hate her smoking but I have to deal with it because in life, you have to understand.

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

Eh speak your mind. Post how you feel as long as its respectable. Not everyone is going to like it. I have debates with people on here and they post things I don't agree with, but at the end of the day its a forum and I have no ill feelings. (With a few exeptions). I just hate when people attack others for how they feel. Idk if this is related to your question, but I had to get that off of my chest.

did you just call gagz stupid TWO TIMES?  

OT: yes, it's okay to worry. that's one thing. being overly dramatic is another. if you know gagz, you must be aware of her tendency of glamorizing things and, surprise surprise, blowing things out of proportion a bit. 

[Slayer 9,227]

She's Lady Fvcking Gaga and she will do whatever the fvck she wants. 

[Bitter 3,640]

Hard yet not impossible. If she really wanted to quit smoking she would have done it.

Apparently the smoking addiction is stronger than her love for her work.

[KyliesChild 16,907]

Of course it's okay to worry. I hate the mindset that people have that she just sings songs and entertains you, so you shouldn't worry when something does happen to her. She's a person and I get why people are worried and I am a little too. But if it were such a huge problem someone close to her would've probably acknowledged her.

Actually i did.

Of course! However, by your thoughts on it I have to say that it is not that simple for her. I dunno but I think that she thinks it's “cool". But who knows how hard she tried to quit, neither do we know how much she smokes. Of course her work is more important to her but I think she has more stuff to worry about other than her quitting at the moment. Like others said, I think she's playing her role in AHS (like being evil and whatnot, but except for the extremity of killing someone, well you get the point).

She doesn't even smoke a lot, she seems to be a stress smoker from what I can see.

To be quite honest, as a smoker myself, I can guarantee that she wants to quit smoking to preserve her voice, but you can't just stop. She's a global superstar, which comes with a lot of stress so if she wants to have the occasional cigarette to calm herself down, then ****ing let her.

She's a human being just leave her the **** alone. I'm sure there are things that you do that she'd find questionable, but just because she's in the public life it doesn't give you the right to dictate her life.

I'm fine with "I hope smoking doesn't damage her voice" as an express of concern but acting holier than thou and demanding she stops because YOU want her voice to remain the same and YOU want her to keep putting out good music with good vocals is selfish and pathetic quite frankly.

It's surprising she hasn't had a full Britney breakdown with the career she has had, with huge success and huge backlash. If she wants to have the odd puff just let her.

Btw, who's to say her voice won't improve as a result of smoking, adding raspiness? Like just relax. Also like I mentioned in another thread, the current vocal phenomenon, Adele, smokes regularly and Whitney fuking Huston smoked crack and was still singing flawlessly days before her death.

Hmm i'm not so sure about that but i don't want to be dramatic bringing up some examples.

[crisTEAne 21,059]

well, that wasn't very nice.

singing is not her job. it is her life. you're not always in control of your life. calling her stupid due to having addiction problems is... well... stupid.
