Uh I don't know about this. I think that the promotion for this is going to be (and already is) unavoidable. Have you talked to anyone from the GP about this yet? I have specific childhood friends who I consider a part of that group and use them as my measurement to know if something has impacted their world. They aren't really big fans of anyone in particular that I know of. Almost all of them have either posted one of her songs on their stories or we've chatted about it. One of them even bought the cd to get the bonus tracks. I checked the target near me, and the cd was sold out. I think her allure on the GP is crazy. Not to say someone like Gaga's isn't but I think the last few times I chatted with them about her was for her movies and maybe ROM.

I've said it in another thread already and I'll say it again: selling multiple different versions for fans to choose from is one thing, but to sell a ****ing clock that makes it mandatory to get 4 copies to complete is taking it to another level. Don't tell me you couldn't print a ****ing clock on one single copy.

You folk are so caught up with this. Is not that deep. If Gaga did it everyone would love it. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything.

No I would not love it, this is taking the audience for literal cash cows and that's gross. I've also expressed my dislike of paid meet & greets, which I know my fave is also practicing.

But I've also mentioned my reaction was more against the music industry's tactics than artists themselves, who I'm assuming have to comply with a certain business model.
