The best selling female artists of all time are all COUNTRY singers. Reba Mcentire, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain (who blended pop and rock and country like Picasso blended colors) Taylor Swift (who sold out and went pop). The true vocal talent is in country music. there is no autotuned lipsyncing extravaganza. I grew up and still live 2 hours away from Nashville. Music City. We appreciate all genres. It's a Tennessee thing. But DO NOT ever disrespect country music. I grew up on country music as well and still listen to certain active artists in the genre. Unfortunately the party country rap crap has dominated the genre's radio stations the past couple years and doesn't help trying to defend it's merits to outsiders.

Ashley 9,376 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 On the one hand, you kinda have to get used to it as there will always be people that have strong opposing opinions to you in life. I learned long ago to let the negativity roll off my back and focus on what I love. But then there's also some fans that it's clear that absolutely stew in their negativity, and that's not healthy either. If you go on and on and on about something that you hate, it'll effect your overall mood and make you angry and bitter. sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I'm going on like 3 hours of sleep. was up all night studying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Voices 1,024 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think it is time for some monsters to stop telling other monsters to leave. I love the new era and don't like negativity in the forums but if someone likes the previous Gaga stuff and not the new that is very understandable since they are very different. I have stuck through fandoms and stayed in forums of fave artists for eras I disliked and came to like the ones after. So as long as you don't rant in every topic and post new ones about how bad the new songs are - by all means stay! No fan can kick anther fan out of a fandom!

Can't wait for your epileptic fit when her next 180 degree musical flip isn't something you enjoy and you can't use change as an excuse to pride yourself/ostracize others Or...if the music isn't something a fan cares for, they could just take a break and find something else to listen to, instead of having a silly fit. I've done it before with Gaga and other artists. Some I've come back to and some I haven't. What's the big deal? Just take some time off! By the way, music with a Country, Americana, Folk type sound isn't the "world's most hated music". You may hate it, but that doesn't mean everyone else does.

Lady Palutena 3,147 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I agree some should leave, but not all. I mean, we cannot all like everything she does; we would be sheep in the true sense of the word. But it really becomes disappointing when there's so many threads of meaningless criticism on her direction, the album, perfect illusion, etc. If you don't like it, fine. But one statement is enough. I myself, I'm very mixed, to be quite honest. I mean, none of the songs she performed left any impression on me other than "okay...", like I just was not feeling it. And that's fine, there's still a whole other 7 songs to be heard so I shouldn't outright dismiss the album. And if I don't like it, well, no biggie. I still have other music to listen to. Gaga is not the only artist in the world. Although, she is the only one who is able to keep my attention and make me think. But she's happy and I'm happy that she is, I just want her to make music she loves and believes in. Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis.

ARTPOPSYCHOLOGY 6,270 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 9 hours ago, SychosSoChic said: Oh my God. Well I think it's time for some Monsters to start sucking it up and getting used to the fact this is a public forum, where people will voice their opinions no matter how many bash threads ya'll make about them. Yes it sucks that not all of us like the song, but in the same way you all love saying how much you love the song, there are going to be people who don't, and you can't blame them for making threads about their dislike for a song while you make your thread about your liking for it. It's two sides of the same coin, you can't just have threads about how amazing the song is, that lead to this cult site just becoming more so, but you also can't have just hate threads or this place will be ATRL. This elitist way of thinking that some people need to leave the fanbase purely because they have different tastes is tired. As if you were all the authority on what a "True Stan" is. Lol. And if I get dragged for saying this, so be it, but to go and make a thread about your opinion and then denounce someone else for theirs when they make a thread disagreeing with you is wrong no matter how you try to spin it. That being said I hope ya'll go on to make tons of threads about your love for the song, but stop making threads like these about the people who don't share your opinion. It's not a matter of not sharing the same opinion. It's a matter of "stans" intentionally spreading hate and negativity after every move Gaga makes without waiting to hear the f*****g finished product.

Masaki 71 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 A fan is not obligated to like every style that a musical artist covers. That's what personal taste is called. You can be just as big of a fan of Gaga's liking some of her music as you would all of her music. It does NOT make you any less of a fan if your tastes don't fit with her recent material.

bumblebee 2,528 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think it's time for us to acknowledge that all the fans asking for other fans to leave are a bit insecure about what is happening on this forum right now and, presumably, don't feel confident enough about the sonic changes we are witnessing. Because let's face it: Gagadaily is one of the best moderated pop forums, and the mods do an amazing job while keeping us safe from trolls and people who openly insult Gaga and the forum users. Everything else is a bit extra. I mean, demanding people to town down the "negativity" goes very much against the freedom of speech principle, considering most of the fans just voice their dissatisfaction with Gaga's new music, her promotional choices and the direction she is heading career-wise; they attempt to stay polite and respectful. If you're completely happy with her new material, then their "complaining" and "nagging" shouldn't bother you at all. While it's very rational of positive fans to suggest that all the people who are not impressed with Gaga's new music express their opinion elsewhere, or even leave this forum since they are not fans of the latest music, it would be also very useful of them to keep in mind that people are not obliged to act rationally, since music is so much about feelings. And when they do not act rationally, but stay respectful and polite and express their opinion without insulting or threatening anyone, they don't break any rules of the forum and have all the rights to do so.

Speechless94 545 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 no one is saying anyone is less of a fan, and no one is saying you have to like the music. The point is, why are some people wasting their time on a forum for an artist you don't like at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
