LMs need to end the spoilt culture

[Free My Mind 2,209]

I've said this many times before on the forum, but Lady Gaga owes you NOTHING. 

If you buy a CD of hers, cool you own the CD, that's what you get for your money. If you buy concert tickets, you own the tickets - you get to go to the show, that's what you get for your money. Once you receive the item, you've got your money's worth - it doesn't contribute to anything in the future. Gaga is not morally obligated to fulfill anything due to her fans buying past CDs and things.

Please, for the love of god, end the spoilt culture. You have not been "cheated" by the MR video, by Joanne or by anything. You didn't pay to have the Million Reasons video made. If you don't like it, you have a right to be sad yes... but you don't have a right to get angry at Lady Gaga or the people around her. It is for her to decide what she does.

Of course, the opposite is true as well - we don't owe Lady Gaga anything... alot of us are very thankful to her and so as a token of appreciation we continually support her, however this is not her right and if we don't like something we do not have to buy anything. It would not be the fans fault.

On to the current topic of the Million Reasons video... I mean, I don't mind it... it's obviously not my favourite video of hers, but it's not absolutely shocking. There has been a lot of overdrama on the forum around it. It's a simple video with a simple message which at times could have been executed better but I think it's charming.

I am incredibly lucky to love Joanne and count it as my favourite album by her. I feel sorry for those that don't like it, I really do - but they can't blame Lady Gaga for that. It's incredibly selfish to expect someone to fit exactly to what you want from them.

Sorry for the rant and somewhat cohesive thoughts, I just needed to get this across.

If someone doesn't like the video, they have as much right to say it as those who do, hence a Lady Gaga forum

please do point out to me where in my post I disagreed with that. I simply said that that is not Lady Gaga's fault.

And we don't owe Gaga anything, especially undeserved praise.

Yea, she doesn't owe us anything. 

That doesn't mean we can't call her out on BS and slacking off.

Calling her out for "slacking off" implies that she owes you something.

if she doesn't owe you anything how can she be slacking off?

Legit said that exact thing in my post....

And stop saying her MVs are HORRIBLE and a DISASTER 

 

if Gaga ever read those comments, her heart would break. You're hurting her feelings

She used to act like she owed us everything.  That was nice.

I won't disagree with that... it was nice... but in fact she never owed us anything.

What if I give her a loan?

Is that why Bobby Campbell was asking for my credit card info

I don't know how I missed that the first time, sorry. You made a wholesome post and addressed both sides of the problem

I'm fine, she's fine, she can do whatever she wants.  I'm old, I remember a few of Madonna's eras I wasn't that into but it didn't change my loyalty overall.

Does nobody think that going through life trying to fit in to a box that other people have made for you would be so excruciating.

More than anything it cannot be good for mental health... depersonalisation is a thing.
