Interscope hijacked Gaga?

Grammy doesnt just vote on impact and commercial success (hence why sometimes small artists beat out big artists). This isnt an MTV award (which is basically a popularity contest)

also not to be mean but the album wasnt just Gaga gems... it also had Bradley Cooper mediocre songs with only so-so vocals.

They literally nominated Lil Nas X for AOTY 

Also the Bradley songs are superior than most of the nominated ones.

I cant speak to Lil Nas X because i havent heard his album. I literally have only heard Old town Road and like one other song

 

Also i think the judges are better at analysing music quality than little monsters

 

ppl on this site if they dont like a music style they dont know how to be objective about it... u can dislike something thats not your cup of tea and still acknowledge that it was well written and cohesive but most here dont even do that. If a song “sucks” to them it sucks end of story

 

even worse, they hate on the nominees and half the time they dont even know more than 2 or 3 tracks tops off an album

 

Grammy judges must sit down, listen to every nomination submition in their entirity and analyse technicalities none if us are trained to do

 

if little monsters were in charge of nominations... i dont even wanna imagine the amount if bias not to mention entire genres of music excluded from main categories

Looool why do you fans think ASIB is out of the race because it's SO good?  it sounds like the lamest excuse ever, sorry. "It's so good it couldn't be nominated, it would win over everyone" 

 

It was not the most acclaimed album of the year though. Both Billie's and Lana's were much, MUCH more acclaimed.

 

Plus, Interscope submitted ASIB for Album of the Year, so what makes you think they are responsible for it? 

 

Once again fans love to trash Interscope, when they have been supporting Gaga for the longest time.

Its called delulu

 

they look at ASIB highlights like Shallow, INLA, ARUTW and ITA and firget that Bradley songs (who to be fair isnt a singer) has mediocre vocals. Even a few Gaga songs on the album dont compare to those highlights and its also filled with dialogue

 

u cant base all if ASIB album based on the few best teacks. They are analysing the entire album after all

 

secondly, how many monsters who criticize the other nominees even heard those albums in their entirity?

[RAMROD 109,572]

I don't even like Billie, but this is ridiculous.

That soundtrack album has served it purpose. The movie isn't even on cinema anymore when INLA was made to new single. The fact that Interscope made it into single is already generous since there was enough people requesting it on radio. And the fact it is even get 3 nominations is already plenty. Let's just be realistic for one second here

its not a traditional album, it has dialogue etc

 

also not to be mean but the album wasnt just Gaga gems... it also had Bradley Cooper mediocre songs with only so-so vocals (hes not a singer im not criticizing him) and that makes up the album too

 

im not entirely surprised it didnt get nominated

I’ve never thought on this perspective, and it makes sense

Support? Where? Not paying Gaga for music videos meanwhile Lana gets SIX singles/music videos for an album that sold less than 10% of ASIB? Stop blaming us for calling Interscum out for their hypocrisy.

We dont know everything behind the scenes here so we cant judge

 

Gaga is one of the most profitable artists out there. Theres no way Interscope doesnt care

 

there can be many factors affecting number of singles. Its possible Gaga herself didnt want to. We dont know

Where do you get that information? Seriously, how can you say that?

 

Sometimes you act like Gaga is her own boss and "builds her own career", but suddenly Gaga has almost no control over her career. Have you ever considered that Gaga might be the one who's not interested in making more music videos? Interscope let her do whatever she wants in the last five years, including a traditional pop album, shooting a movie right in the middle of an album era, get into a TV series, do multiple music performances for tributes, go to Vegas and literally wasting every moment of hype she might have instead of releasing an album or a new song right away (she literally decided to go into make-up right after the movie instead of releasing new songs. Lol you think Interscope decides that?).

Plus, ASIB is a MOVIE soundtrack. A movie that was released a year ago, was HEAVILY promoted during Oscars season, and won the Oscar! That's it, that thing was done. She/they promoted the movie beautifully and specially Shallow.

Interscope submitted Joanne Piano Version LITERALLY YEARS after the album was released. What, do you think that was not Interscope's "fault"? Were they "scum" for doing that? Stop being the hypocrite.

If ASIB received a nomination, it would have most likely won based on its universal appeal and the combination of commercial success and acclaim, not because it's a quality body of work.  I can only think of TUN  and WWAFA  as albums who match ASIB in terms of success and acclaim this year but they're pretty much locked out of winning AOTY.

Gaga’s contract does not and cannot forbid her from doing whatever the hell she wants unless there is a conflict of interest. Interscum doesn’t need a medal for that. They paid for NONE of the promotion. They are hypocritical scum and Gaga’s win clearly hurt their pu$$y a$$ egos because it proved that she could have hits and win awards without their pathetic permission.

As a business they don’t care “who” wins. They just care that they win. And they always win.

I guess it’s only my gut instinct that tells me that Stefani still has many saboteurs within her ranks. I’m not saying Interscope as a whole, just a subset, but a very powerful one. Or the most powerful.

Im not saying shes never been treated unfairly. The music business is known for being pushy and demanding with artists and playing favourites

 

but im also saying theres a lot we dont know and all we can do is purely speculate

 

Gaga has complainef about being over worked before. Doing less promo and videos could partially be her choice we dont know

 

also even if its the label. Older artists that are established and sell regardless of hits are known to have promo budget diverted away to create new artists. Its not like Gaga would be singled out here. Its very common

In marketing, when you don’t want customers to buy quality toothpaste, you hide it at the bottom of the ailse. This is what Interscum is doing to Gaga. They are elevating Billie and Lana and hiding Gaga. Interscum spent $0 on promoting ASIB. Big fat zero for the most acclaimed album of the year. The Boardroom obviously hates a woman who has ideas of her own.

Honestly, thank fucc for Enigma and Haus Labs. Interscum need to be reminded how Gaga is a better businesswoman than all those fat empty suits in Interscum 

Well yeah they wouldn’t promote it hahaha it’s WB’s not their’s lol like technically they released it but that’s more because they have the ability to better than WB does. It was basically WB’s project and Interscope was brought in because Gaga is with them and would need to have them in the room if she were to do an album. But it’s not like they are going to promote it as a solo musical component when the movie was the ultimate promo and clearly did a good enough job given how enormously successful the album was. They probably didn’t do anything more with it because it wouldn’t make sense to: after the Oscars no one would give s****s about it to the point t where dropping more singles makes sense. Plus, Shallow gave them their I Will Always Love You hit

Y do you guys think everyone is against gaga all the time? She already have a lot of awards, like, chill

Despite not working for Interscope or the Haus, everyone seems to consistently create "plans" of what they think Gaga and her team should do, and when their "plan" does not happen as they want it to, they begin making up conspiracy theories that her label or management team are morons and sabotage her.
