DanceInTheFlames 154 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) The only thing silly here is Gaga fans acting like people that don't like this need to go to Katy Perry, as if that's some insult. Do people not realize Lady Gaga wasnt always this pretentious, overbearing art school kid in her work? This video was nothing short of embarrassing and arrogant. She's trying too hard to prove she's artistic and it's just comically misguided. She's alwyas been fairly "pretentious". Even in the early days of the fame, there are plenty of interviews. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE4L7SI-SwA But she has the ability to back it up, so she's not really being pretentious.

Do people not realize Lady Gaga wasnt always this pretentious, overbearing art school kid in her work? This video was nothing short of embarrassing and arrogant. She's trying too hard to prove she's artistic and it's just comically misguided. Excuse me, no. She has always been contradictory and a bit pretentious, just in different costumes and hair. Those are the quirks of Gaga though, why are you acting as if it's unexpected with an album called ARTPOP? And I would be ashamed to be a Katy Perry fan so maybe that could be considered an insult.

SSION 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I can't believe I didn't watch this sooner, I just ignored it cause I did not think that it would be like that! OMG seriously love Gagz forever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyMetalGAGA 65 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I have confronted people who've been hating on her throughout this entire pre-era and even way back into the BTW era. My love for her is still here and will continue on forever. But this time, it just rubbed me the wrong way. It's not because I'm "young" or just want her to slay the charts because if so I'd be stanning for Rihanna and Katy. I would have left YEARS ago if that's all I wanted. I don't find what Katy and Rihanna do to be great but honestly, in my opinion, this wasn't great either. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to generalize everyone who didn't enjoy this into that category. That's fine if you don't like this! We don't have to like everything she does, hell, that's what makes it fun being a fan of hers! You replied with some respect though. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. There are literally a handful of the same users who come onto almost every thread and just constantly bash her disrespectfully. It gets really tiring after a while. They just project their own insecurities onto her, it's pretty evident at this point. But I'm happy you stayed :) Love the DP btw, that was one of my favorite fashion moments from the BTW era!

DanceInTheFlames 154 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I'm kind of confused why people are so angry about this video, saying Gaga is trying to hard to be artistic. For one, she isn't. She's showing Abramovic's method as a way to promote Marina Abramovic's new institute she is trying to get funding for. It's just a method, a way for artists to empty themselves to prepare to perform. You realize a lot actors do similar things? Does that make them pretentious? In fact, James Franco is a friend of Marina's, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has practiced this method before. I think a lot of people are misconstruing the point of this video. It's simply to show this method, it is in no way trying to be artistic. Maybe on the videography/direction side, but not on Gaga's part.

Monster Voices 1,024 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I won't even take the time to read all mess I suppose is in this topic. I've taken the time to research Marina thoroughly so I understand what's going on in the video very well .. and I strongly approve. I do believe this will help Gaga's art. Forever and Always!

Sister 9,907 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I miss the days when not everything she did needed to be defended via some hipster lens. So cringeworthy. Or when she wasn't being painted as "the victim" when people don't like it. It's all becoming sad, predictable and BORING. The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Redstreak 6,651 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 She's not even trying to show off that she's artistic. Did she mention that she was somewhere in here? Was it painted on one of those crystals or flashing in giant letters under her vagina that I missed? Meditation is not something one does to be artsy. She always been known to be open with what she does in her life, this is just her giving us another glimpse while also trying to help a friend with a fund raising campaign. But of course people sometimes just have to make mountains out of molehills. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. Would I do it? Probably not. If it helps her become a better artist, I'm all for it. I mean she was running naked in the woods smoking pot during the process for TFM and where was the big stink over that? 𝙸'𝚖 𝚊 𝚓𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚓𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕.

Thanks :) I've defended Gaga from everyone here that has bashed her in a rude way and I know the type of people you're talking about. This time I just genuinely do not like what she's doing. Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but if more things like this pop up, I see myself not enjoying the era. However, I won't completely base the era off of this, and I'll wait for the most important part; Applause and its music video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
