Make-up is the creative poison of today's popstars.

This is what happens when artists don't earn money with their music anymore. **** streaming.

Just the proof than some big artists are more motivated by the thousands millions they'll make instead of creating something full of passion and art (even if earning less money)... 

And just find it sad... Anyway...

Hey, they're not philanthropists, their work deserve payment. You should shift the blame from the artists to the big corporations that are benefitting billions from this system and are doing nothing creative out of it.

Make-up brand, acting, being a mentor, not doing music... Gaga's BAD impact

I’m honestly so so excited to see what she does next.

she’s always had a hand in her perfumes but her having a more commanding role in the fragrances and beauty brand will really be something fun. I don’t expect something cheap either, I think she’s gonna pull out the big guns for some and then more affordable ones as well.

Of course it deserves payments, I'm just saying some small artists are doing quite stronger projects lately than most of the big ones. Most probably because they won't have to make millions to make great music / visuals / performances / concepts / etc.. 

Only my opinion but art / passion always make bigger creative projects than the ones ony money motivated.

So artists need to be starving to do great art? What are you doing on a Lady Gaga fansite? You wouldn't have had 90% of the performances she did had she not been a successful artist.

Well I can be on a Lady Gaga website if I want without being held accountable and you know as much as me I'm a fan from day one (as we already met). It wasn't even aiming Lady Gaga only but how music industry is making big artists more focusing on the money they could make than focusing on their music projects. 

I'm 'stanning' some far far smaller artist than Gaga or Ariana or Rihanna and believe me they are managing making some very very strong projects with far smaller budgets and this without being starving. I won't worry about Gaga's bank account, it will be fine even without more marketing deals.

this is also true, the pressure on bigger pop stars like Gaga, Ariana, etc will always be bigger to be richer and have more and more money.

The fact some artists are managing to exist successfully with little budget doesn't mean all of the artists have to. There wouldn't be any arena tours, SuperBowls or million-dollar music videos without big artists earning big money. Bashing artists for fighting for their due isn't cute - I've also seen it in comments regarding Scarlett Johansson's case against Disney: the fact she's already rich doesn't mean she doesn't have to fight for what she's due. Let's be honest, if any of you here were in these ladies' shoes, you would do exactly the same.
