Same. But karma already got Madonna for what she did. 

The same media that helped her drag Gaga in 2012 is now dragging Madonna for every little thing. And she lost the support of little monsters along the way.

It might have given her some much needed attention when she was releasing MDNA, but she shot herself in the foot long-term. 

i love that we're both still pressed. my feelings towards madonna are so mixed, tbh. sometimes i find it funny, sometimes i find it really—and i mean, really—sad. there are songs that i like and also ones i'm emotionally connected to (because of my mom), but then i remember her self-proclaimed queen/throne bullshit and, of course, the ugly **** she pulled with gagz.  she has no right whatsoever to be offended by the **** she's getting now (excluding the sexist/ageist things), because her entire career is based on bitching and bashing others. i shall stop right there.

That doesn't really explain it. The song Yoü and I is most definitely about Lüc so there's more reason to assume the same lettering is for him and not for the fans.

I must say I don't remember that tweet, but it definitely made me cackle. What if this is a hilarious ironic dig at the fans? I don't think she'd be above that. After all, the way she presented herself during BTW is completely opposite to her describing that period now, after three years. Who knows what her real intentions/feelings were..

I don't claim to know the truth, just wanted to respond anyway, 'cause that Ü thing is still a mystery to me. If she undoubtedly had the intentions you believe she did, then why didn't she just type "you"? The lettering demands a specific explanation.

she was feeling like a rockstar. a rockstar with a true connection between her and us, her monsters. you know gagz: imagery and the manifestation of her vision is everything to her. metal umlaut was part of that and aimed to symbolize the hardcore connection between her and the fans in the face of a heavy, superficial, metallic cultural status quo, lol.

Never thought of it that way, that's a clever thought.

The cultural status quo thing is a bit much, but the rest is at least a valid possibility. Doesn't eradicate other possibilties, but I like this idea

Oh I read it as a "how can you not know that you ignorant twat"-ish expression Look at us getting along with that familiar and comfy undercurrent of semi-serious tension again.

Also, this gif is glorious.

omg, no, i didn't mean it that way. perhaps i should have put an emoticon at the end. then again, i didn't want to imitate the style of a certain moderator. 

yes, our relationship is certainly an interesting one.  i find some of the stuff you say about gagz so offensive that my blood boils with anger, but then there are comments of yours i completely agree with.  

Spoiler

i still remember when you said that i should get my hating ass out of your face.

I keep you guessing, I see. That's good. I learned from the best.

I still listen to Born This Way. I have't listened to TF/TFM in over a year.

"It’s been five years since the release of Born This Way, an album that marked the point in Gaga’s career that she stopped studying her fame and used it to further her own message..."
