HausOfMiklaus 1,803 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 because they don't need to respond to these made up rumors Obviously! I thought everyone knew this. Where and how would they address it, on Twitter? "We would like to clarify that no, we did not lose $25M because of.." :lmao: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKid58 17 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 She doesn't have to. It's better to just ignore it. OMG I just went through all Gaga's comments on LM.com to find that one, cause I knew it exists. She did deny it just no one noticed.. Poor Gagz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Monster 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I didn't think it'd be such a big deal. The Examiner posted that and they post fake sh*t about her all the time. I really think it's time something was done about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatello 129 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Where her publicist at. No wonder every article keeps bringing it up if a reply on lm.com is her idea of a rebuttal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 450 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lol anyone believing that they spent 25M on pretty much zero promotion is... not very smart. I think the amount spent on fuel to get to places for promo probably outweighs the cost of the promo itself. Has she decorated subways or put her album in Starbucks? Has she had a relentless tv advertising campaign? Have ARTPOP posters gone up all over everywhere? Then what are they supposed to have spent the money on? All it takes is a little bit of a think. You soon come to the conclusion that it's bull. They didn't want front loaded sales with this album. The 2nd single has been out 2 months without a video yet so it could see single 2 drag out until February... it's quite clear that longevity is the name of the game. Currently only outsold worldwide by Katy Perry (which will soon drop off) and Beyonce (who front loaded so much will be lucky to stay charting in Feb.) Maybe 25m is their overall budget for this album cycle though. In terms of stage budget, venue rental etc etc. But certainly not the album marketing prerelease. I'd put that at about 5M tops. This! Really good post!! Although it is interesting how lots of generally 'reputable' news sources have used this examiner as a source but I'd say that's more reflective of how the media is being towards Gaga right now. Interscope should control Gaga way more! Gaga doesn't know how to sell her ****! None of us really have the faintest clue of what goes on behind closed doors, so what makes you even say this?

AuraBurqaSwag 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This! Really good post!! Although it is interesting how lots of generally 'reputable' news sources have used this examiner as a source but I'd say that's more reflective of how the media is being towards Gaga right now. None of us really have the faintest clue of what goes on behind closed doors, so what makes you even say this? For one thing. if Gagas next album flops or under performs she may even loose Interscope and go on a hiatus! She'll also end up winning no awards and will be seen as a diminishing popstar.

Phoenix 17,395 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well she wasn't really attending anything, soo. Back in the day there was no awards show without her. 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcina Dimitrescu 1,156 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The song has a double-entendre s-xual meaning which his verse adds to. Singing "do what you want with my body" gets a whole new meaning when you think about the kind of figure he is, as well. The Marilyn/President theme is presented in his verse and was the basis of the whole performance on the AMA's. His verse does add to the song, if you ask me, and gives it an extra layer in the process. Xtina's is great, but all it really adds is more of a female-empowerment, "grinding through the pain" kind of vibe without the innuendos that were intended in the original. I agree and disagree with this. Agree because it does add a whole new layer on the song and because I love his feature. Disagree because as far as we know, the Christina version lyrics were the original ones so the message it gives may be closer to what was originally planned. Anyway I kinda think that feature was added to give some buzz to R.Kelly's comeback album, not because Gaga really cared about him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpadesToStart 3,444 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 1. They don't need to respond to every rumor. 2. There's no way they spent 25 million. That's the promo budget for a blockbuster film. If they had spent that much, ARTPOP would have been EVERYWHERE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 R. Kelly is tried every day of his life in the court of public opinion anytime he tries to do anything. It certainly has affected his career to the negative. It's been 15 years since those allegations and it seems he has reneged those ways because we haven't heard anything since then, but he will be "tried" for those actions for the rest of his life. Thats the part he plays in this song... he could give his entire income to charities the rest of his life and become a celibate monk, but the media will never allow him to be portrayed as anything other than a s-xual predator, even if those mistakes are long past him. I hope he has given reparations to girls he harmed by his actions. T. Richardson is also dogged continuously by the allegations of his actions with some models. In fact he is "tried" on this very forum every single time his name comes up. So do you think it's accidental that he's producing the video? Gaga doesn't live under a rock, she knows the allegations against both these men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
