Diane: "The label didn't want to release TIHTY, I payed for the video"

[That J 12,166]

That is very cool of her to do. 

It hit me tho that I have only heard that song one time.  I just never played it again. Not my flavor and I am a sexual abuse survivor. I'd rather a power anthem than to wallow in it. Different strokes for different folks.

its simply not a great song

Okay didn’t know that and it’s kinda not the thing I wanted to prove. They payed for Applause which was amazing IMO. 

Yeah but as Gaga said she was given 1 WEEK to do that and she hated it because she couldn't express her artistry is so little time. So actually Interscope never cared about ARTPOP sadly :(

It gave Gaga her first Oscar nomination, and helped make the GP like her again, and it had an important message

Diane is hurtfully underrated.

I'm desperate for her to get an Oscar win at some point. She's been nominated so many times and she clearly wants it so bad.

...yeah? the video was shot and released months before the Oscar nominees were even revealed so idg whats ur point

Gaga actually has really big budget and is free to make any video she wants. They gave her complete artistic freedom and integrity with the contract she signed few years ago.  She didn’t want to make videos that are over the top during the Joanne era and she said it few times. Interscope is amazing for Gaga. 

EDIT: Okay apparently Gaga payed for GUY (didn’t know that, sorry) but they still payed for Applause and that video was amazing. Budget is not playing a big part when it comes to quality. 

She paid for G.U.Y. because she was the one who pushed so hard for it to be released after they ended up scrapping DWUW (an expensive drop). Being Gaga, she wanted to spend a lot on G.U.Y. so the label balked a bit so they agreed to release it if she paid for it. When things are good, I'd say you're right. G.U.Y. is something of an extenuating circumstance.

 

 

ALSO: Yeah, they didn't want to pay for a video. For stuff like this the movie producers should be on that. That's not Interscope's job; that's part of the job of whoever is promoting the film.

Public Service Announcement... so less of a proper music video and more about making the public aware of issues surrounding sexual assault on college campus’ through the music and video.

True true, but it's not just landing on them since Troy was the dude putting her back out there. And I also don't think it's fair to assume that they didn't care so that's why she only had a week. It's perfectly possible that there were deals and stuff and other moving factors that played a role in that decision. It's unfortunate, for sure, but for a big release like that you secure lots of deals and promotions so in a bad way of events it probably led to that happening and not out of negligence. Otherwise Gaga would not be with them and defending them so much whenever people ask if they're like the industry. But notice how she'll happily throw Troy under the bus in coy legalese.

Interscope sucks as a label, Gaga never gets enough money for her videos. Nothing new. 

Isn’t Judas now the most expensice music video of all time? or was that fake news?

Interscope haven’t spent enough on videos since Applause.
