You guys are too quick to defend an Epione-filled millionaire who talks about kindness every interview, advertises Nurtec, sells us AliExpress water bottles, asbestos Chinese makeup and probably don’t even use her own social media anymore (her ChatGPT social media team handle that for her). 

She will always be mother but y’all need to stop being cupcakes. It’s okay to be disappointed and to have criticism. It’s valid criticism.

This could have been a comment under one of the anniversary topics but guess you wanted more attention to your lame ass opinion and feel like you were doing something today

this thread feels so pick me. I mean I bet there are many other users here that know how this era was painful for her but they dont make a thread about it.  Should we just shut up and act like ARTPOP never happened? should we just shut up and buy some cheap hoodies? I dont understand the point of your post

Precisely, darling! Your comment is all the attention I was so desperately seeking with my opinion.

I just miss seeing her genuine love and passion for her music. Everything around her feels so corporate and detached now, It’s sad. Why should I care about her music if it feels like she hardly does?

that was actually a good example of great merch, they revamped a niche collector item from back in the day that only long term/major fans would understand

now it's just album covers ironed onto shirts

But it's once again, just merch with nothing new, just the same album, not even an interface like the normal USB. It's just a cash grab.

Stop acting like Gaga is a puppet. She's one of the biggest artists on this earth right now. Believe me, if she wanted to do something, she could. NO, WE DO NOT WANT A MERCH. A video message from Gaga would be enough. She feels so disconnected right now. Watch how she will remember us when the Joker promo begins. That's all we are to her now I fear.

No! I Gaga herself, said Act II was coming. Plus we even bought her album again and got all those people to sign the petition and she acknowledged it so yeah, we deserve some music even maybe just one song from act 2 at the least.

I will never understand those who defend everything that Gaga or her team does. People are allowed to be disappointed, people are allowed to be angry.

The celebration of the 10th anniversary of her album is a link to a cash grab. Nobody in her team even tried to write a heartfelt message about the album, they just went for a link, it feels like "buy this merch you dogs".

The Spotify canvas are just lazy as hell, they didn't even bother to use the pictures from the booklets or some scenes from the music videos of the eras, they just went for the same picture for almost the tracks.

There was a million ways the album could've been celebrated, but a link to a crash grab is probably one of the worse. You can say "it's better than nothing" but it really isn't.

Oh shut the f up with your preaching 🙄

The situation is being handled poorly since YEARS by Gaga and her lazy team the same way it was with DWUW

She did smth with it in 2019 only when she feared she'll lose an Oscar which was so cringe worthy 😰

She lost lots of respect in my eyes then, now and everybody has their right to feel that way

Just out of curiosity, what did she do in 2019?

Just before the Oscars the R Kelly collab/DWUW topic resurfaced in the context of #MeToo and it all seemed like it wouldn't just go away again if unadressed this time around (like it did since 2013) and it could ruin her winning for Shallow.

So finally she removed the song from Spotify (but of course didn't change it for solo or Xtina version because who cares that one of the best songs off the album is missing ) and finally issued an apology for doing that collab via Instagram or something like she just realised it was a bad idea.
