A Very Gaga Holida 20,947 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I don’t know who she is but hey, ARTPOP without chaos isn’t ARTPOP, people SHOULD be dramatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimecia 6,025 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I mean yeah she's 100% right. The issue I have is with the merch and her dropping that garbage without any personal message. Those pricing + the lack of care... It's downright disgusting coming from her, and especially on the occasion of the celebration of ARTPOP, which was an era all about saying "F*** you" to mainstream pop-star expectations and the music business. Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Gaga herself put the merch post up, it was probably her social media manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, and it does not change anything. Inaction is the same as acceptance. We are being treated like cash-cows by her management / label, and she's OK with it. Therefore she treats us in the same regard. Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was like multiple albums ago, there has been no reason to think it would be coming since she released Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this never happened. And it's not a matter of "she needed to be more clear about it" etc when she mentioned the petition because it has always been clear that Act II will never come out, the only exception being that weird DJWS moment when he incited fans to riot and then went dead silent about it, but that's his usual behavior.

I personally don't think it would have been that hard to hop on Twitter and post a quick thank you as a follow up to the merch post. "it's the 10 year anniversary or ARTPOP and it means so much" blah blah "I'll be sharing some new merch with my monsters later today in celebration of the anniversary". At this point being a big Gaga fan is so disappointing and for me personally something has to give. From Nurtec to CBT film to Act 2/general anniversary, it's been a pretty long year of let downs. The UO situation is another letdown as well. How can such a major artist/their label let the only official exciting thing about AP10 be limited to just 5,000 copies that will ultimately go on sale early and sell out before the "official" release time. If UO wanted exclusive rights they should have had them order a higher minimum. It all just seems so sleazy and cash grabby, either with Interscope mismanaging it's assets or with Gaga not giving a damn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s UO who decide to sell how many units/what time is goes up for sale, they can’t control that at all. Plus it’s the official 10th today so Gaga may say something, however at this point she can’t win as I’m sure people will say she should’ve said something yesterday. I agree this year has been quite a drought, but it’s normal when she’s in between projects. Without making excuses TCBT film was probably delayed due to strikes as well as the Lady & The Legend doc, hopefully it’ll be on streaming by Christmas as a present for us.

It really wouldn't have been that hard to stipulate how many units go up for sale on UO when licensing the rights to the vinyl. The Label/Bobby could have said "yeah we'll license it but 15,000 units have to be available." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including Billie’s “What Was I Made For?” which is one of the biggest songs of the year and would probably sell 10 times more than “GUY” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,076 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 The point is, let everyone feel how they want to feel about it. If you are not bothered and think everything happened as it was supposed to, great. But reading a post about why you shouldn't feel annoyed or let down isn't going to magically change how you feel. So you're essentially just wasting your time telling people to get over it, stop overreacting, etc. Gaga put herself in this situation by, quite literally, saying "yes, lots of songs for ACT TWO", "it'll be nice to play both acts on the tour", etc etc. Not to mention the countless times DJWS has teased including just last year saying, "YOU HAVE MY PROMISE THAT I WILL HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU ON THIS DAY NEXT YEAR." So acting like people are delusional or crazy for expecting something is, in fact, delusional and ignoring the facts. Sure, DJWS eventually said "I'm no longer talking about it" blah blah blah. But this all could've been a diversion. Not to mention the petition for ACT II that received over 40,000 signatures sent to Interscope. They know it's in demand. Gaga knows. But not even a thank you post or something explaining why it's not coming. So all of this backlash, in my opinion, is well deserved and has been building for 10 years. We all learn lessons one way or another. discord.gg/hausofdelulu The #1 Discord for Delusional Little Monsters! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
