She has said before countless times, when she is sad, or she doesn't feel like being herself today, she just, creates someone else, she puts on a wig or wears a crazy costume and she's instantly someone else (aka almost the entire ARTPOP era and afterwards)

Why do you think she's been dressing so "plain" well, to Gaga, this isn't plain. This is actually her expressing how she feels. She isn't dressing plain, she's preparing for the new album. She's riding motorbikes, she's going out almost every day.

She isn't depressed, she's determined.

It's so nice to see true fans on here. Gaga has millions of true fans all around the world. I don't know why this website is filled with people who say stuff like this and then call themselves a "stan". That's actually the first time I've ever written that word "stan." There goes the second. It's like a lunch table at school choosing her as some diva and getting defensive when people question how much they "stan." It just completely undermines and underestimates Gaga.

Ugh. Throw depression around as if it's a cute word for sadness.

This post is not cute, funny, or quirky. It's just plain sad.

Shes human and letting her hair down before she's got to do promo and got to go back to being "gaga" .  

Cant wait to see what she'll wear this era!

Though I didn't agree with you, I was with you until this part. This is a despicable thing to say, only if you claim to be a fan. That's just my opinion. 

To me, it seems like you really don't know her. That doesn't mean I'm saying I do, of course not, so let me rephrase it: It doesn't seem like you've been listening to her all these years. 

Gaga's a rebel. She - quite appropriately and quite rightly - believes in freedom of expression. It's one of the fundamental human rights which excites her. She loves creativity, creative people, and creation. A disgusting money-obsessed corporate industry has hounded her from the very beginning to 'target' different audiences, to 're-think' different ideas. That's the polite version of what Gaga is saying. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but if you don't believe that the music industry is capable of making threats and forcing artists to do things, you're simply naive. And yet, look at her. I've seen so many females (many not even incredibly famous, just famous) complain about how male-dominated the industry is, and when asked about Gaga, they smile, this crazy, hopeful smile. By male dominated, these females are trying to tell you they're the only female in the room. Like Gaga has said, it's not as if artist's have a Union they can go and complain to. So Gaga was a champion for creative expression from the beginning of her career, regardless of what the industry told her. And she made a success of herself. I can't think of a single song on one of her albums I dislike, and that's almost unbelievable. But hey, she's a creative genius. 

Like a mother wants to give her children everything she had, Gaga decided to give her fans the hero she had (Bowie). When asked in an interview about him, she couldn't even talk about him because it was so sacred to her. I know if I ever became famous and was asked about Gaga, it would be too sacred to even mention. She pioneered freedom: human rights. She did so with everything she loved: theatre, music, creation! We all looked up to her, we all believed in her, we all cheered her on, cried with her, sang with her, danced with her. We saw ourselves in her. Because we, like her, are tremendously weak in many ways. We, like her, are creative, loving, and want nothing but freedom for humanity. We all have our own individual special connection to the woman who pledged her life to us. Not because she had to, but because that due to the fact that she knew she could, that she knew she had revolutionary potential, she saw it as her duty as a human being to make the world a better place, but always make it fun. Gaga is one of a kind. A rare diamond. 

So tell me, when did she stop being human to this fan base? When did we ever once look at that woman, who despite all her flaws, all her insecurities, told herself that she had to be brave for us, and think 'nothing can hurt her. she's superwoman.' 

Please don't think I'm attacking you, or the fan base. I know there is an undoubtedly many underlying socially psychological, conditioning reasons for people turning their backs on her. And believe me, I know there are millions who never once wavered. But some people, enammoured by the genius of this woman, her special touch, her magic, her kindness and compassion, her relentless bravery, her limitless creativity, somehow forgot she had feelings. Caught up in their own fantasy which she gave them the space to have and create, some, instead of being grateful fans who, despite their flaws, despite their insecurities, believed her when she said she was worth every step she danced, turned out to be ungrateful consumers, taking a message of self-love and running away with it, abandoning self-awareness. And if there's one thing about Gaga, she is entirely self-aware. 

The problem with self-love without self-awareness? It leads to a belief, a delusion, that you are special. That you are exempt from the common weaknesses of humanity. That you can be sassy and strong and that you don't need any emotional mushy crap, just give me the beat sistah so I can dance my sweet ass off and forget about the rest of the world because it's probably too stupid to appreciate my brilliance anyway. 

Some "fans" (consumers), chose apathy over empathy. Even after Gaga's entire message, her entire crusade which was born out of a human capacity to love her fellow species. 

Tell me, have you ever in your whole life, ever witnessed a Gaga performance where she wasn't giving it her all? When she wasn't expending every bead of sweat, every breath, every muscle, every nerve, moved by the audience's love of music, love of creation, love of fun, of partying, of community? 

When she fell on stage you cheered her on to stand up again. When her makeup fell off she would swear, and you would laugh. But when after giving it her all for so long, bones in her body actually broke, you flew. The Flight of the "Fans". 

She said some would betray her, and they did. She said early in her career that what the press really want of the superstar is the Fall From Grace. Some "fans" don't give Gaga enough credit for her acute intelligence. All of a sudden, because her bones broke and she couldn't keep up, simply for the crime of being human, her ideas, which people loved to hear about, cheered her on for being brave enough to share, people mocked. "ARTFLOP" was coined before people heard a single word of what she had to say on the record. 

And it was different. It was loud and chaotic and hard and there were crashes and screaming and people who weren't listening the entire time felt "disappointed." It didn't meet their "expectations." 

Well tell me, what did you expect? She told you the corporate world pressured her. You knew she wasn't a sellout. And you knew she was a rebel at heart driven by a creative spirit! Again, tell me, what did you expect? And still, knowing that millions of fans around the world didn't leave her, and that the ones who did were no big loss, (disappointing, but no big loss), she gave you honesty. She gave you her raw side. She released The Fame to make an entrance. She released The Fame Monster to remind people that she wasn't here to fool around, that she could talk sex, and drugs, and drinking, and rock and roll, because despite being a female, that bitch is rock and roll. From Alice Cooper to Rob Halford (Judas Priest), rock musicians across the globe have said that the most contemporary pop star alive is the spirit of rock and roll. 

Lady Gaga said that ARTPOP was the end of the beginning of her career. After years of always repeating "I'm only at mile two" even at what people call the "peak" of her success (lmao), I smiled so much when she said that. It told me that she had overcome so many obstacles, climbed mountains I couldn't even bear to imagine myself climbing, and was ready to finally kiss the stage one last time (literally) and take care of herself, enjoy her love life, finally enjoy her success, finally feel grown up enough to buy a house which she made a home, finally, she felt free. 

This beautiful woman currently snapchats her morning sunrises to us, shares her pets and animals with us, her muscle cars, her daily outfits, and I STILL hear people complaining that she's not doing enough. You know what I think? I think Gaga realised that her true fans will always stay with her, and even if they aren't in the hundreds of hundreds of millions, she doesn't need hundreds and hundreds of millions. She's not that shallow. She's not that superficial. She told you from the beginning that she was so grateful, overwhelmingly grateful that one person believed in her. She's an Italian. She's a New Yorker. She's a damn hard worker. Don't insult her by assuming she can't take rejection or criticism. She dealt with that long before you knew her. Believe me, she can take it. All I see are "fans" who whine about how she doesn't care that they don't care anymore. It's so childish I can't even bother to give it any more time in this damn rant. 

I'm not saying you have to like every song. I'm not saying you have to like every outfit. Of course I'm not saying that. But can't you realise that this woman is finally in a space where she feels like she can enjoy her hard-earned success? She even still continues to make sacrifices (like with Taylor) to fulfil what she views as her moral duty. You haven't seen the last of Gaga. She's only just beginning. Shut up about LG5 and wait like the rest of us. You think Gaga isn't bursting with excitement and can't wait too? You worry about her being depressed because she's sitting beside her friend "looking so normal." 

Well, Gaga is normal. She's a normal human being. She made all of us who were told we were also "freaks" feel like normal human beings too. She's theatrical, colourful, and a stunningly powerful/creative performance artist, but if anything, what she has been saying over the years hasn't led me astray at all. I think you need to look again at all her recent pictures, and look at them with a fresh perspective.

She isn't just your Gaga. She's her family's, friend's and lover's Stephanie too. 

It's not obliged of you, of course not, but if you don't treat her with the respect you would treat your closest friend, as a fan, then you have absolutely to right to whine. With other artists who only care about record sales and popularity of the music, maybe. But this Lady of the Dam ain't no slave to the Blonde or the Culture of the Popular. She crates and writes and plays and sings with the purest of intentions, so don't start crying over not feeling entertained enough. How you couldn't be entertained enough is beyond me though. I do feel though that you have the perspective of a spoiled child, and to ask if Gaga is depressed because "she looks so normal" and worry about "LG5" instead of being happy for her that she feels like she can drive her muscle cars, smoke her cigarette, and feel normal this early in her career, is unbelievable. To me, going out looking "normal" whatever that is, only shows that she is still as brave as she was when she made her first steps up to a stage with a spotlight on it. It takes real bravery, real balls, to know that even though you're under daily scrutiny from the world, and that's just when you're driving, to actually smile and hold your cigarette high. 

I repeat: this isn't an attack. I just don't think you've been listening to her. Gaga has depression. She's already said she doesn't like LA, but is there because "sunlight is good for people who have depression." She spent so long feeling like the outsider in the pop world. Let the damn star shine. 

WOW! This is truly amazing and I completely agree! This woman that we all love is so amazing! Talented, creative, intelligent and so kind. She's changed my life! Personally I like how she's been looking recently, it's her expressing how she feels, I like seeing her real blonde hair, the glasses and big shoes combo I LOVED! Even if she stops music I will still be a fan cause she's not only an amazing talent but a great person. Yes I do want her to succeed but only for her sake cause I feel people try to put her down and I want everyone to see what a true talent and genuine and passionate performer she is. It's okay to have a joke but to say nasty things about someone your meant to follow and care, you don't really care at all. She has been knocked down so much and I truly believe she flying now. She's learnt so much from all these years I think she's knows where she's going. 

[River 116,879]

Well she have many cuts in her arm and she lost a lot of weight.. she barely talk with someone, her eyes always looks sad, she always looks like she used cocaine.. so yeah she's in a depression.. and it's dangerous.

Couldn't have said it better myself. 

I can't believe people actually thought Bobby would come anywhere near this website, when it's filled with people posing as fans and really just being cruel most of the time. You would hold it in the same regard as trolling. And yeah, it's clear she knows where she's going. She knew before we even knew, after all. The chick is so pure of heart and determined, when she succeeds it's like a win for the world in my eyes. And I'm not a particularly complementary person, nor do I isolate myself from people who don't listen to her. That's their choice. Do I feel like they're missing out? Of course. But I respect their choice, as I know Gaga would want me to. 

It's just disappointing to come onto a forum called 'Gaga Daily' and see vast swathes of people who call themselves fans do exactly what she has been condemning all these years. It's confusing, like hearing some guy at the beach say he's a vegan whilst wearing a McDonald's snapback. 

And thank you for your kind words. You've made my day.

Again I totally agree, it's sad that people can't see how disrespectful they are being to someone they are meant to care about.  They wouldn't say it to her face so why say it online? I know I feel so happy for her when she does well cause it's a middle finger up at the people who don't/didn't believe in her. I love the story of the people who didn't believe in her when she started out, I bet they are sick as a parrot now they can see what she has become. I just think being a gaga fan is about fun, art, creativity, serious moments and being kind. The quote she said "the best thing about kindness is that it's free" I couldn't agree more. Haha np have a good day
