Did Gaga lose proportions in life?

[kabirartfling 9,063]

After watching that actors on actors interview i am feeling the reverse of hype! I feel numb about her music for now....i would'nt care if the next album even comes out this year at all at this point

who do you want to answer that question?

gagz? she views herself as an artist and tries to distance herself from being perceived as a celebrity. i don't recall that she ever said that she is not a celebrity, but her stance on that is quite obvious. maybe she did explicitly said that and i just don't remember. look it up, if you're hung up on that.

It's very contradictory of her to claim that she "tries to distance herself from being perceived as a celebrity" while being signed to Interscope Records. If she really were determined to be viewed exclusively as an artist and not a celebrity (which by the way, doesn't have a negative connotation in my dictionary), then she should take the leap.

because an artist can't be signed to a record label and any artist signed to a record label is a celebrity? you're thinking in extremes. there's a middle area between being a starving artist and a full-on celebrity. you yourself said that the terms aren't mutually exclusive, lol. 

anyway, the point is that you don't agree with the way she perceives herself. that's fine.

That's not what I said, you're twisting my words. What I said was:

"It's very contradictory of her to claim that she "tries to distance herself from being perceived as a celebrity" while being signed to Interscope Records."

Maybe not any record but Interscope Records obviously focuses on maximizing their profit.

But anyway, this is not what the OP is about. The conversation derailed a long time ago. I'll just leave it at that.

Of course the lens in which you view life, as well as the concept of 'fame', will change after being famous for 8 years.

2009 Gaga had only begun the roller coaster.   

[Runway 27,876]

Gaga in 2009 - worth $0, in debt and bankrupt

Gaga in 2016 - worth $200 million, happily engaged.

Monsters remain as delusional as ever though

why, tho? she wanted to be the biggest and most famous artist in the world. and she made it. does being famous automatically make you a celebrity? according to her, no. does that mean that she thinks that being a celebrity is different to being an artist or has negative connotations? probably. does it mean it's true? no. does it mean that she's wrong? no. she defines herself. remember that one of her core messages has always been that it's you and not others, the media or people's opinions, that define you.

Now if i ever meet her i'll feel too ashamed to ask for a picture  i didn't know she hated it so much

Look at the variety interview, she stated this is the life she choose, self expression and being creative. She still owns it, she still gives those Gaga looks, she ****ing had some of the most important events booked this year. Let's wait for the new album and see what she brings. However, I do agree she does not show that self confidence. I think her personality changes with every album and era in her life.

[giskardsb 12,565]

She was hiding behind facades and putting on an attitude to try to make herself think and appear strong, yet fans seem to think she was more honest then. Go figure. She's smarter and more aware now of the true impact of not being honest with your own issues and struggles.

I actually think the statement "I'm gonna change fame culture" is very Gaga-ish. She has always been an idealist. Despite her I'm-an-idealist personality, which I love and almost always prevails, Gaga is a human and has gone through different phases. Because humans personality do change. Their points of view, their perspectives. Just like it happens to every of us. The difference is Gaga is a star. Her interviews and movements will be, obviously overanalyzed by the critics, the general public, even her fans. But those who have the ability to see the deep meaning of things will see Gaga, Stefani, Jo, all her alter-egos, even The Countess (even though The Countess is NOT Gaga, unlike her "personas") in the same wave. You cannot hide your deepness even if you go through changes. And Gaga is still the same dreamer she was when she started. She would be the kind of person considered as a "delusional dreamer" an "out of proportions" crazy artist. If you check  her interviews, you'll see that in her persona: The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way era. And that's great. You can only completely change if you really believe changing it is possible.

I think Gaga's perspective on fame has changed over time.  She has seen the ugly side of fame and she probably wasn't expecting everything she's encountered on her way to superstardom.  Personally, I think it's normal for her to have changed her perspective on fame given that it's probably extremely exhausting to deal with fame 24/7 for the last 8 years.

I think before she was famous all she saw was the glamour and fascinating aspects of fame. I mean, that's what non-famous people see, right? 

We think of artists as these intense individuals, and then see their work and it's like WOW. But what we DON'T see are many nights of that artists sitting on their couch snackin' on cheet-o's thinking about how they wish their friend Anna was free so they could hang out, wondering why the hell they can't figure out the right shade of blue for that one section of the painting they're creating.

I think Gaga got caught up in the interesting concepts of fame, but then when she had it realized she's the same girl at the end of the day and when she's hanging out at home the intense aura of fame is relatively non-existent. 

EDIT: I know Gaga wasn't shooting for fame- she wanted to create. But I think she thought balancing fame and art would be more interesting, but at the end of the day that form of performance art she was creating ended up being quite empty for her.

I think you might be looking a little too deep into this.
