vixdean 1,061 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 12 minutes ago, FudgeyBear said: So earlier today a member posted a video essay on Gaga and the art of fame. During one segment she talks about her adoration of Andy Warhol and how his particular brand of art was making simple every day items into something special (example: the Campbell soup can). So the collaboration between Gaga and Oreos isn’t so peculiar in itself, as she is one to always deviate from the norm and this would be on brand with her emulating that kind of Warholian style of creating art. But herein lies the problem: what is the art here? Is she going to promote Oreos in an artistic way or is the art simply the design of the cookie? If the latter, that’s troubling, as that definitely just feels like a money grab. Totally cash grab, for the many reasons outlined by the OP. Not problem in itself, but no point in masking it with some deeper meaning. Just part of the capitalist society we live in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating the imprint on those cookies is a process a company does not rush. It's an iconic brand, they want to do it right. This collab probably would've blended in better during a regular non Covid era. Now it sticks out too much. I found the way Gaga announced it very odd, her not even getting up. I wouldn't be happy if I were Oreo. I mean she's a sweetheart, but that insta post was so half assed and uninspired. The obligatory post would've provably more 'natural' if it weren't for covid. She probably pose with a pack at a store or backstage on tour or something. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisGuyTony 30,597 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 She just wanted more money to fund more Chromatica music videos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed 7,716 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 You guys want promo but dont think seeing her name in grocery stores across america helps remind people of her brand or her album lol. you guys want all the benefits of promotion with none of the corporate partnerships? Its just not how it works lol. And also there hasnt been a single era where gaga hasnt had corporate partnerships... you guys just arent as bright as you think you are lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Puppies 36,434 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I like Oreos, (they taste good) but I wouldn´t buy them just cuz it says "Gaga" on them, I guess. I believe it´s a collab for the SC music video. We will find out (or not) in a few days. THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is complaining about the lack of promo and when she finally does that with partners, they all go after her sayin´that she just does it for the money. lol The cookies even have "Chromatica" written all over them. It is promo. THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasclautmangos 2,746 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So much promo got scrapped this era. Oreo probably already invested a lot of money into this collab and decided to just go ahead and release it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGMonster95 13,704 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It most likely was planned out before the pandemic just to be extra promo for Chromatica and overall just a cool thing to have for this album. I don't think It's mostly for the money because if we take it this way, she could have got more money off her album if they really want it. I think it was suppose to be connected with something else that they could not do because of the current situation with the world (which most likely is the easier and more undetailed reason of why they could not do more with the album) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, at this point, if you don’t strike now, you’re gonna lose the entire opportunity. I believe that the Oreos were going to be connected to something major like a single release, maybe the tour, a video? This ... they’ve probably been sitting in a warehouse for months lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
