Time For Departure

I've tried my best not to comment on the elephant in the room, but...

 

Iv'e come to notice at least 10 threads a day, on the base of denigrating an artist whom many have pressured and awaited, for three years.

 

She's just started the era not even two weeks ago, and we've had a half-fraction of this community engaging in degrading remarks, unnecessary contretemps and ungracious responses. 

 

We complain about this woman "abandoning us for three years", when in those three years, what was it exactly that we did on our end? 

A majority of the responses, to any of her publishes via social media were of an obnoxious and entitled manner, "Give us LG5, bitch", "If you don't release LG5 you're going to flop", "LG5", "LEAK LG5", and so on. She took it upon herself to speak up, for voices that had no power, in such monstrosities as abuse, and some of us managed to degrade that, as well. This woman, whom may not be of perfection, but of affection and dedication, has done nothing but want to stay true to herself, and to see people happy. 

 

As to move on from the past, i'd like to continue our current status of attitude, in the newly-began-chapter. 

 

Last week, she kicked off her next chapter, by releasing the long awaited lead single, from her fifth record.

 

15,000,000+ hits. Constant airplay, for the suckers of the radio. Predominantly positive reviews, except from ones mainly within this community. Not to mention, something she's not done before. It's fresh. It's the beginning. A lot of artists we compare her success to cannot manage to submerge into a different persona every era, and yet remain the same dedicated and aspiring being, as she has. (We say "Beyonce", yet personally, I feel like she just released the same album she did in December of 2013. I admire that woman's work and artistry, but Beyonce is Beyonce. Every era, new and potentially outstanding music, but the same persona constantly.)

She's yet to release the video, yes, but it's coming within the following week. We are getting a music video. We haven't received one since March of 2014. I'm quite thankful. No matter the corporate success, but matter the quality, atmosphere and dedication. 

She's clarified some of the most talented musicians and artists, whom just so happen to take part in this new chapter. 

She's done a song with Florence Welch. A phenomenal artist, with quite a voice. Ex. 

She's worked with Father John Misty. Quite an independent and talented gentlemen, capable of much more than what those who do not know of his work, in the slightest, estimate.

She's worked with Mark Ronson. A quite capable and extensively talented musician+record producer. Not to mention, some of his contacts, Miike Snow, Anthony Rossomando and those who we've yet to be surprised by.

(also co-produced by Mark, alongside another worker on JOANNE, Nile Rodgers. One and only.)

She's worked with many more, and more of whom we don't know. How can we be so sure of something, we not know the nature of?

We do not know JOANNE, as she.

How can we complain, of this woman moving forward? Would you desperately love for her to go backwards?

She's not that type of artist. She evolves. If you aren't too fond of that aspect of her character, then I wholeheartedly support your decision to depart from this community. 

This community was not intended for hatred and poisonous intent. It was ignited to show affection, appreciation and differentiation (appropriately).

If you do not know the difference between destructive criticism and constructive criticism, i'd work on that, if I were you. Life is too precious and short to complain about every little aspect. Need I remind you, we just entered this chapter, last week. Be patient, and something of the very least will roll your way.

Finally. Someone with sense. There needs to be a way to filter out the negativity here without deleting my account.

PREEACH

All this people focus on negativity, like i don't even know what to say, is like they care about Gaga's success  more than Gaga herself, very sad.

:diane: Note that she just described JOANNE, as a pop record that'll help her connect with a larger quantity.

No longer, than about 15 minutes ago.
