The strangest GGD members are the ones who disregard Joanne and ASIB as non-Gaga projects yet they've stuck around bitching for years!  Like, log off and get a f*cking job.

I mean, I love y'all as a community, and I think it's okay to joke about Gaga once in a while, but some comments here have grown to be hostile towards the woman who's basically the reason we are connected here. It's just that I feel like some of us have been acting rather entitled, like she owes us her life.

So Gaga first 'divided' the ones who liked jazz and the ones who didn't with Cheek to Cheek in 2014. Now because Enigma is a Vegas residency, people accuse her of not caring about her international fans. A Star Is Born was appreciated by most fans, but if a movie with an acclaimed soundtrack is still considered by some fans as a 'side-project', 'ASIB doesn't count!!!! Her last true album was Joanne and it's been a while!'

She literally just opened a fcking museum yesterday with the meat dress in it and the VMA blood stain still on it. And some people are already over it. You're over Enigma cause you already saw the opening show. You're over A Star Is Born cause you've seen the movie. You're over the museum cause how long does it take to glance through the outfits? 5 minutes perhaps.

New music is awesome, but it takes time to create. Music doesn't drop from the sky. This woman just gave us A Star Is Born, won three Grammys, got nominated for five, won an Oscar, killed Met Gala, and is probably thinking of ways to update the show as well as preparing for a possible extension and negotiating contracts with MGM. And in the meantime, she's supposed to create new music, she might also be considering new acting roles, she has contracts to fulfill.

Can we also take a moment to realise she's a human who has a private life? She's a 33 year-old woman who has to figure out life as a megastar and as a woman. Tony Bennett and Bradley Cooper aren't there by her side every single day. All she has right now is her family, her team and her fans. She broke off her engagement more than once, is single at the moment, and probably goes to sleep every day alone, in total silence. Who knows if she ever feels alone?

What I'm saying is, the amount of time you spend on consuming music and entertainment is far more rapid than the time put into the creation of it, whether it's an album or a show, you simply can't expect Gaga to create something after months and months of attending meetings, recording lines, rehearsals and visiting studios, and ditch it after a week cause you crave something new. Where is the economic logic in that? She only performed 12 Vegas shows and she's supposed to do 74.

37:47 - 'The things that are inside my private life, that they don't know about me, that's what I was really using (for Ally). All the stuff I don't let you see, all the reasons I've put on this armor for all these years, all the things I'm running from, I'm using that (for Ally).'

 

I'm not sure about you but when I first saw this interview, I was surprised that she would say that because she's always been very explicit with her fans. This woman said 'I would die for my fans.' at the artRAVE. And we all have noticed how she's distanced herself from social media, she used to do Q&As, telling her fans about new music (rmb the 'stupid pop stars rules' tweet?) but now it's almost nothing apart from (I'm so honoured... I'm so excited... I am so humbled to be nominated...)

Like what kind of damage do you have to go through to experience a growth like this? What was she running away from? Even from her fans? The woman who'd die for us?

Don't get me wrong. I am looking forward to new music, but give it time. Give Enigma time. Give Gaga time. She might not even visit this site, and thank God she has screaming fans night after night to remind her that what she's doing is cherished, but let her breathe, she deserves it.

I love you for saying all this but sadly a lot of ppl are never gonna get it and keep demanding an album because they ‘need’ it 

i swear if she announced her retirement tomorrow she’d get hate mail from those fans

[ydnmnme 16,039]

Just watched "Dance in the dark" performance from the opening night of Enigma! The fans who were there were freaking out and happy that Gaga included the song and they were living for her energy. While some GGD members were watching a pixelated periscope stream and then went here to **** her costumes. I have to laugh

[Mr Peeps 1,027]

Releasing because ur fans are thirsty will not feel the same for her. That’d be like releasing because you HAVE to. That’s not fun

Huh I’ll tell you more. Some don’t consider "Joanne" as Gaga’s album and don’t count it

What’s really sad is to keep hearing people say they want gaga back. She is all of her albums and honestly I feel like she is more connected to Joanne and ASIB because they really pushed her out of her comfort zone. Just see how emotional she became when a million reasons came on in her Haus of Gaga yesterday. It’s just weird to me that people can’t appreciate her entire body of work. Yes, I have my favorites, but each album is a different journey and that is the fun part of being a fan of hers. She may do another pop/dance album but she is never going to be the girl from 10 years ago, and why would you want her to be?

I agree but for someone who "writes music every day", i'm sure she could at least give us one F$%^ING SONG a la' Katy/Ariana/Rihanna etc.

Sis which Rihanna songs r u taking about? Unless u mean makeup 

[JohnnyVersace 8,998]

Yeah, no ****. 

Even reading these replies, most of you are incredibly immature, self-absorbed brats who are slaves to the social media generation of instantaneous gratification and the constant consumption of mindless fodder, expecting (and feeling entitlement) to constantly be fed. You have absolutely zero regard for her as a human being, and as the OP mentioned, what it's like to exist as Lady Gaga. She clearly has gone through serious trauma in her career, relationships, and admitting the truths of her past, and might not be functioning the way she used to.

And yet, when she still puts on incredible live shows full of fan favorites, creates a museum of some of her most iconic looks for us to see, you still complain. It's "cheap" and "ugly" and "basic" and "too expensive" and means she's "selling out." Like **** OFF. Gaga is constantly being attacked by her fan base for not providing, when looking back she has given us some of the greatest art of our generation. I don't see attacks on Britney, Janet, Christina, etc. for having a Vegas show, and ruining the lives of fans who don't live Nevada or in the US. This is a couple years of her career where she's staying put and focusing on herself, let her have that.

When in Lady Gaga's entire career has she just released something that had no relevance to an era, message, meaning or larger project? Like maybe The Cure, but that was because she was headlining Coachella. 

Y'all are so ****ing delusional, and expect her to operate in a way that she never, ever has.

In before people start saying everything she used for Ally is fake and/or mad that all the costumes and makeup now means nothing because she admitted they were something to hide under.

No seriously, this is my new favorite post ever on GGD. You are a goddamn hero for it.

Fans have been waiting for 7 years for a pop album or song and she has not done that yet. We though after Cheek To Cheek we will get what we wanted but its almost a decade of waiting. She does not have to do what fans want but you can understand why fans are frustrated.

No i really don’t understand. You’ve been waiting almost 10 years for a pop song? You must be talking about another gaga.

 It’s time to accept things that are not an ‘old gaga pop album full of summer bops’ can be worth a try too.
