the whole world is on lockdown. This is much more serious than the flu

Y’all doing mental gymnastics for nothing. It was postponed because she didn’t want to debut with less than 120k units. Any big artist would do the same if they were gonna take a hit that big.

When the pandemic is over people will be mourning their lost ones and then it will be the perfect time to release it according to Gaga! As long as the economy is better of course 

Just want to acknowledge how negative and b!tchy your posts always are

Must be tiresome always being dissatisfied

But not more serious than a lot of other things happening in the world. Which was my point. Like I said: COVID-19 does need to be taken seriously. But imo there's no reason to pretend this is the world's first tragedy since WW II like so many people seem to be doing

This happening all over the world tho 

Just calm down.  It's gonna get released in the near future.  It's not like she's delaying it a year or something. Not to mention a lot of these posts are cringe.

I am. That's why I'm uncomfortable with privileged people like me acting like the world is ending. It's not. 99% of us will be absolutely fine. Even in Italy, the world's worst affected country rn, only 0.1% of the population has died.

That's awful for those people and all their families and friends. But when compared to what people have been going through for years in places like Yemen or Gaza, that's nothing. And it's exactly because there is so much privilege that this overblown hysteric "our lives will never be the same" rhetoric is so disgusting and inappropriate.

First off, I totally get why Interscope decided to delay Chromatica. Don't agree with that decision but I understand it It's business.

But from a moral perspective the thing that rubs me the wrong way is... people are dying every single day Why are people acting all brand new to the world's tragedies? It's always a bad time to release your friggin' pop album like it matters in the grand scope of things. People were/are dying of the regular flu too and it wouldn't have made any difference to Gaga or her label. Was it right to let the music industry continue during the SARS crisis? Ebola? Children still dying of hunger in Yemen to this day?

Yes, COVID-19 deserves to be taken seriously but maybe not this seriously. I'm over it.

(Not trying to drag Gaga or Interscope here, just trying to think critically about this whole "the world is in so much pain!!!!" mania.)

So you want her to halfass promotion just for an album to be released? I’ll raise you some even more morally responsible based questions; do you think it’s morally responsible to make a comment like that—“people are dying everyday?” This is a worldwide emergency that isn’t going away overnight. No one is invulnerable; especially Gaga. She has fibromyalgia; if she were exposed, you can kiss anything after this goodbye pending she can pull through with a condition like that. Do you think it’s morally responsible for millions to get sick and unexpectedly die when this could have been slowed down and taken more seriously? Blame everyone’s range of elected officials for thinking this pandemic was a big joke; Interscope still calls the shots at the end and if they said no then no means no. You will be fine; if it continues to upset you, then I strongly recommend finding other outlets to keep you distracted in the meantime.

Imo, the only reason to delay the album given her explanation is if the visuals and promo she had lined up go hand in hand with understanding the album and telling it's story. 

That might be the case, so I choose to remain relatively "whatever" about all of it.

She hates doing promo. I don't see the problem.

No, which is why I said this pandemic needs to be taken seriously. But that's different from saying the world is ending or that it's inappropriate for people to just enjoy a feel-good pop album It's not inappropriate. If that's inappropriate than how do you explain people sitting at home watching tv and eating Cheetos they stockpiled being scared for their life when they can't even be arsed to donate a dollar to the Yemen crisis, to name just one humanitarian disaster that's been going on for years?

Sis.... this is a global pandemic. It's not a regular "people die every day" thing.  Yes children are dying in Yemen and Palestinians are being murdered everyday and it's absolutely unacceptable and horrible, but this is a world wide emergency of a totally different scale that's affecting EVERYONE. Life NEEDS to change, otherwise we won't be able to contain it.

And this attitude has been the downfall of many countries so far. No matter how seriously we think we're taking this mess, it's proving to be not serious enough. The world won't end if we don't get to hear Chromatica now.

And this is a business decision after all, not a creative one. I'm pretty sure if there was no profit involved (or if it weren't the main interest of the label from the release), she would have released it now for everyone to enjoy.

say it louder for the people in the back!

To keep a virus from spreading, yes That's not the end of the world. I still don't get why people are pretending that having to stay indoors and watch tv for a few weeks is worse than literally dying of hunger without anyone outside of your country caring.

Never has anyone been so  out of touch with reality for the past 20 minutes at least.

Streams are DOWN 

Stores are CLOSING

Sales are DOWN

People that arent doctors/nurses or work in grocery stores are becoming unemployed WORLDWIDE

And you want Gaga to beg people to give her, a multimillionaire, money during this time?

I never for once said that sitting at home and doing nothing was appropriate. Those people are part of the problem. No one cares about these issues enough until it hits close to home and affects them personally.
