Bt1 5,213 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Im starting to like the video, or at least understand what Gaga is trying to do in there, after I looked more for Marina Abramovic. That women is really pushing art. Still, I dont know if this will work for a pop star. And I dont know if it was necessary to make a video.

Weasel 12,525 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Omg, I thought this was weird before I saw Marina's Balkon Erotic Epic video. Look it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingMore 1,701 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 How could this make you stop being a fan? I don't understand. Isn't her music the reason why you're here in the first place? Or did you like her for her image and the things she would do on stage and in her videos? To be honest I couldn't care less how 'weird' she is (yes, this is weird, but it's just another form of meditation at the end of the day that for some reason she felt like sharing with the world) as long as the music is ****ing amazing, and so far it's always been. That's just me though! I said if she continues to do this shiit thorugh ARTPOP era and if it gets involved into her music (music videos for example) I would consider it. I knew I was going to be attacked but I dont care. I'm here for FreakGa, WeirdGa, but not for MentalGa ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I was going to be attacked but I dont care. I'm here for FreakGa, WeirdGa, but not for MentalGa ! I didn't attack you, and I'm sorry if you felt you were being attacked. I was only asking, in what way would this kind of thing make you reconsider being a fan? What I meant is that I will love her as long as she delivers musically, all that comes with it is a bonus and I might not always love it but I don't care as long as I like the music.

AP10 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It was never about her being all that stuff. If you were her fan just because of those shallow things you think she needs to be then you really do not understand her or her art. You can have your own opinion about all the stuff she does and you can disagree with it but saying you are here for this narrow road you want her to go in is completely against everything art is all about.

Relax, this type of thing itself probably won't manifest itself into her music videos or anything. It's just meditation that she believes will help her become a better performance artist.

AP10 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 And what if it will? It sometimes seems like people think they can control the "icon" and make it be one thing, with only one narrow road. She will decide to do whatever she would feel like to do, even if it will be against anything people want her to do. If she calls herself a performance artist, means that she will literally be limitless and be determined with producing ART.

I actually loved this video - you can feel how free she is, and it's wonderful. I just don't understand why she's getting so much negativity as an artist over a video of her meditating.

JanPianoMusic 730 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 That's obviously the concept for the VMA performance: running around buttnaked going "eeeeeeeeeeeeeh..." You will never please everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovesgirl 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 the process itself could be perceived as art as well, so it IS art. Of course, anything can be perceived as art really. But people are stating as if this is some sort of purposeful artistic statement, when strictly speaking this is meditation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaLogic 194 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think a lot of the negativity comes from fans who think that their friends or family will look down on them for liking Gaga if she does things like this that are outside the norm. They feel like they will be embarrassed for being her fan based on the judgement of others. Some people have yet to discover that it's ok to think for yourself and like whatever you want instead of following 'the norm'. And like others have said, a lot of people are apparently embarrassed by nudity. I bet it's very liberating to strip oneself of all ornaments and material things, and to just be alive and relaxed, in your most natural state. Being ashamed of the human body is a learned behavior, and I won't even bother going into who taught people to be that ashamed of themselves. Most everyone knows who, whether they care to admit it or not, and it's still pathetic after all these hundreds of years. I hope that Gaga and others like her will continue to work to make people feel more free about expressing themselves, however they choose to do it.
