If Elton Really Thought ARTPOP Was a Bad Album, Why Did He Do THIS?

[RRR 3,996]

Question? Why would Elton insult ARTPOPE and say it was bad but then do this collab?

I can't see the video but someone can think an album is not good and still like some songs and want to perform with the artist. A "bad" album wouldn't take away the fact she's an amazing performer.

At the time, I think he just thought she should make an album like Tapestry from Carole King.  If you've ever listened to that album (and you SHOULD!!!!!!) then you would probably agree with him.

But still not surprising he did that performance - it's a great song and they sounded great doing it together.  And there were Muppets.

He's gay, which means shady in sámi.

Because this was shot in October I think, the album was released in November, he probably hadn't heard it in full yet

I guess just to show support. And he only performed one song with her, not the entire record.

Who cares what another artist thinks of another artists’ album?

What did he say about ARTPOP? Source?

He said ARTPOP was bad, as in the album 

Not the song

ARTPOP is an amazing album, but a lot of people will never be ready to talk about that

This is the most reasonable answer tbh

 

But, knowing Gaga, she probably sent him the album before its release

Because ARTPOP (the song) is one of the best songs in the album.

For example, I'm not at all amused by Madonna's MDNA but Masterpiece is one of my favorite songs from her ever.

She doesn't like Venus, and now ARTPOP too? @KatieJudasGaga4, I just wanna talk.
