A Message from Gaga Before Disease

[GerMonsterNotta 1,786]

Gosh thanks so much for resharing…

such powerful words

 

Put simply Lady Gaga, is not one thing, she is many things…. Constant change and diverse talent is part of her DNA… There will be parts of the tapestry that each of us will prefer to others - that’s art! That’s personal taste! But I hope people maintain respect that she is bold enough to spin a career which demonstrates RANGE and CREATIVITY…. THIS is Gaga

Hello, beautiful regular-sized human who happens to pop up in my phone 💜

I don’t need a monologue with all due respect... Let the work speak for itself. To me… she seems insecure about who she is as an artist, and is trying to make sense of it and justify the existence of her split passions. That’s why Happy Mistake is meh to me. Like who is forcing you to be anything other than authentic? Who forced you to play the part of the strung out girl? Certainly not us. And if you were not yourself then, who is it that you’ve found your way back to, and why should we care if we never knew the real you? 

All that said I am still perched for Disease and wish her much success and happiness.

I hope this community can take her words to heart and come together in positivity and celebration of whatever DISEASE ends up being for who she is-- not then-- but for today.

Thank you for posting this! This is super important – and there will always be fans who won't be able to take their "little manager" hats off, but we can't let that ruin our enjoyment of what Gaga is sharing with us tonight.

This is exactly the kind of bullsh*t we don't need on a day like this. Just piss off and don't rain on the fans' parade.

In what world does the song Happy Mistake imply that anyone forced her to do anything? Lmao

Exactly. Even if it did, the pressure she's talked about receiving to change her art or image and the pressure we know artists (especially women in the industry) get from their label/managers/fans is crazy and valid to point out critically. Like I'm thinking of the part in Five Foot Two where she said she had to find ways to spin things into something interesting to feel more in control. The things we've gotten are still amazing, but I wonder what our favorite songs, music videos, performances would have looked like if she didn't have people telling her to always look "sexy" earlier in her career.

give us one reason why we should care that you don’t care about her monologue
