People have been saying this for 5+ years.  This is equivalent to people saying "Obama is going to take all our guns!"

But did I lie though?   she is clearly interested in pop music otherwise we would be just like Rihanna fans, waiting on an album that was promised to come 3 years ago

She is silent because she doesn't want to deal with fans, not because she is disinterested in pop music

I think she is not happy with the leaks, but she wouldn't give up on Chromatica. She said in an interview for Stupid Love that her art isn't defined by a leak and its what she does with that art interms of her explaining it, and the visual elements to it that make it art. Thats why she stuck with her original release plan for Stupid Love, because she wanted to do it her way

But honestly, if she feels some type of way about the leaks then she should look at her team and her label and ask questions. Its not the fans fault that retailers such as target have leaked some of the most important elements like the tracklist and the cover - both were hyped by Gaga for a big moment. 

So while I think you're right she is mad and angry about the leaks, I don't think she would give up on Chromatica because of whats happened

I think she is sad about the pandemic situation and the album is clearly not a priority to her. I’m not dragging her, btw.

as for being on topic: I think it's pointless to cry over what coulda/shoulda/woulda.  Nobody really has an idea how hard promo would be.  And honestly giving more promo isn't necessarily the better.  REmember how swinefest basically spoiled ARTPOP?  Moral: this is crying over spilt milk and we should just wait for the next project to be thrilled up.

I was agreeing with you.  I was basically saying people have been saying for 5+ years that gaga is dissing pop music when that's just a false statement not backed up on any facts (hence why I said when people said "obama wants to take all our guns!" when we all know that is quite false, but people genuinely believed in it at the time).  Again, sorry for being political, it's the best example I could think of.

No of course her album isn't her priority because she wants to help the world. But if Covid 19 wasn't a thing, I doubt we would be having these conversations. She is obviously sad about whats going on, but I do think that it would be very different if there wasnt a global pandemic going on... she'd have Chromatica as a priority. Its just an unfortunate situation right now

Oh...   sorry, I'm a bit tired. I agree though, but I think Monsters always think the worst about situations since ARTPOP unfortunately

I totally agree with you. But there’s a pandemic going on. So is pointless to think about what would had happened. She is sad, will release this album sad, with no motivation to promote it. And i dont blame her.

While I agree some people in this fan base are too entitled and don't deserve some of things, we should remember gaga is the worst effected by this and she doesn't deserve it because of a couple dickbags.  The others I couldn't give a damn about, but it's unfair to her.

Why? We have done nothing but supporting her every decision. Stop with this kinda of jokes. So tired of it.

I disagree with the op, but some of the little monsters actions on this site were VERY questionable right after chromatica was delayed.  I never want to re-visit that thread.

Yeah they were frustrated and upset. Even her knew some fans would be. I was a bit too. But there’s a really shitty trend in this site to blame the fans for everything thats going downhill in this era. Even the target leak.

the postponement, the leaks, the planned promo cancelled/wasted - bless her but nobody could've foreseen this. 

I just hope that when she comes back to campaigning the album, she bounces back better than ever. I think Gaga in the great scale of things, would view all of this as minuscule and materialistic and it is when people dying are concerned.

I think it's time to lay the original plan to rest. Instead of burning candles, announcing what could of been and laying low just to let it leak.... let's start hyping this era up. There is no reason to throw it all away just because original plans fell through. That's a life lesson that everyone needs to learn, even Chromatica. 

Amazing. Well said!
