hmm 979 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) some people in this thread have went borderline idiotic, enough the point that she is trying to get trough is that critics are just regular people with opinions, and that the fact that they are paid to give their opinions doesnt meant their opinion is right, or that it should be respected more, that we should make our own opinions ourselves and not base it on the GP, sales, or metacritic GOT IT NOW OR DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN? That's not really what she's saying, if she were it would be something along the lines of "critic and fan opinions are equal/critics are just a personal viewpoint". She's clearly suggesting that someone should not critique work (unless they are a part of the process) "Why would you critic". Also, I don't get why these rants are coming in random weekly sessions, as opposed to all at once. Edited January 11, 2014 by hmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc1993 1 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Oh Gagz <3 I feel like she's currently in a place where tweets and posts like this are temporary relief for the confusion she's feeling, and she really needs to break out and do something to pick herself up again :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackhouse 3 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 ARTPOP is a project. It can't be evaluated in basic way because critics don't do much research. ARTPOP is more than songs and melodies. It's a movement. lol, we wish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
msquare91 1 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Also, following her logic in that post, only musicians can enjoy music. So 99% of her fans shouldn't be buying her music and commenting on it cause they're not qualified to. It's even more ironic because Gaga tweeted this about 2014 and ARTPOP: "Let 2014 be the year u make a sculpture of you. You are a legend. Your self-invention matters. You are the artist of your own life." Then she turns around and says nobody's opinion matters except her own. Great. I thought ARTPOP was supposed to be about democratizing art and diverse perspectives through technology? Woops, guess not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I can't believe some of fans are still hurt over that fake fan thing. Really? You know if you're a fan or not. It didn't even bother me, because I didn't take it serious. I thought it was funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exoskeleton123 6 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 She needs to f u c k off for a few months and honor her vomit, finish act two of ARTPOP instead of firing off these weird statements about the critics and peace and love on the internet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Maybe it was just me, but when I read most of the reviews for ARTPOP the critics went beyond how they feel about the music on the album, but Gaga as an artist. Some seemed more bitter about HER instead of just how they didn't like the album. It seemed like they wanted to attack her on a personal level. I would go back and look for several examples but I don't have time for that. I think this is what she's getting at, or what she's trying to. It's even more ironic because Gaga tweeted this about 2014 and ARTPOP: "Let 2014 be the year u make a sculpture of you. You are a legend. Your self-invention matters. You are the artist of your own life." Then she turns around and says nobody's opinion matters except her own. Great. I thought ARTPOP was supposed to be about democratizing art and diverse perspectives through technology? Woops, guess not. I personally think she's trying to make a point, but really got it out wrong. I may be wrong, but I read this as a reiteration of the "you are the artist of your own life" statement. But nobody is reading it like that, so idk. 3 points in and ready for more Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariann 301 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I am sorry but I don't get it. It's time to move on from all the critics talk. They are just people but they only do their job too. Professional journalists have never been professional musicians, directors etc. They can only express their personal opinion from their own point of view and based on their own knowledge. They always have and always will. It's just that some of us tend to pay too much attention to it. It seems to me that Gaga has sadly become one of them. :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappy 302 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Tbh.. ARTPOP is just another album. The app sucks. It's not even being treated like a "project" Exactly... It's really below my expectations. The app is just a boring GIF generator with a cool intro and the album is a set of songs which lack coherence and most of them sound uninspired and generic. I don't agree with her at all. Criticism is needed in order to grow. It's hard to see your own mistakes but when somebody points them, it may feel unpleasant but you at least have an opportunity to fix them or not repeat them in the future. What I'm talking about is educated, constructive criticism and not some amateurish reviews full of viciousness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirgagaswag 2 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Do not forget how early Gaga is into her career. Have a little bit of faith Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyPunkLover 2,120 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Dear lord. She contradics herself every ****ing time she type something on the internet. She should stop it. No woder so many people don't care about her anymore. And this is not for bashing her but honestly, enough about all this whining from her. ARTPOP sold less than Prism. Get over it. Beyncé has beaten you witouth even talking about the album when you talket about it for like 1 and a half year? Get over it. "STOP THE DRAMA START THE MUSIC!" I would say: Stop talking start acting. "Just because you know my name, doesn't mean you know my game" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
