Stefani328 321 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I guess all I am saying The "Fame eras Gaga" we knew was in her early twenties and making that type of music. She hasn't escaped from that person at all yet personally. She is nearing 30 now and it isn't ridiculous at all for her now to want a house....a home....her own private space to relax. Plus, if her and Taylor get married in the next few years I'm sure they will want a home to share. I This too. Great posts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOT2027 10,893 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 She should hire Miley's manager because he gives her tons of artistic freedom and go to RCA or Capitol tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Gaga even said its her decision with someone like gaga they wouldn't drop her and she isn't afraid of Creative Control in some points gaga did wrong and so did the label but your point is so ridiculous......and about the single mix up...gaga even said it was her decision and does it bother you that much i mean its not like the success would do better considering Venus Debut on the Hot 100 Lower than DWUW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's sad how many of you prefer a controlled, plastic version of Gaga rather than the real woman and artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't pop stars suppose to be controlled and plastic? I get your point. I agree wholeheartedly. I can't wait to hear the jazz album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think after this album Gaga should just ditch Interscope cuz they are just drags... They're not properly supporting Gaga and are just making a mess of this era and this ****ing DWUW video...If only Gaga had enough money to pull a Jay Z and make her own record label... **** YOU INTERSCOPE I DONT LIKE YOU i hope Lana ditches you too... Gaga can't simply "ditch Interscope". It doesn't work that way. She has a contract with Interscope and she owes them a certain number of albums under that contract. She can't run off and record on her won or with another label! Major record labels have extensive contracts to protect their high dollar investments. People need to stop throwing out this wild option as a possibility, because it isn't one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasilisVas 5,164 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm beginning to think many of you know more about management and promotion than Gaga, her team, and Interscope. If that's the case, why don't ya'll go apply for job positions at Interscope and "fix" things. Enough is enough. Some of you seriously need to stop. It's just a video, and it's not that serious. Some of you are acting is if your lives will come to an end if the damn video doesn't come out. Seriously. Take a chill pill, and get a life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disregard 50 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Gaga wouldn't even exist without this record label that you all love to hate and blame for all her problems. They've supported her when any other rational thought would have labeled her as a lost cause. She creates her own problems. Nobody ****ing cares about a random weird ass b---h singing about planets and fashion designers. She got lucky to even have the support of a major label after the initial excitement died down. Literally nobody else gets the budget that she does unless they are easy Hot 100 bait like Katy and Rihammerhead, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryhanna 3,507 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 What's with all the hate towards Interscope since ARTPOP dropped, though? We don't know what goes on behind the scenes. We don't know what decisions are Gaga's and what are Interscope's. It's so unfair to use Interscope as a scapegoat because things aren't going the way you'd like. If Gaga were to start her own label, realistically, she'd still be facing the same problems and probably more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksNStrings 231 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 SCENARIO A: A "neat", "clean", "well planned out" album cycle with singles that are announced and stuck with, music videos that come out on time, an album and singles that all go #1 around the world, critical acclaim all around, very little controversy..."everyone loves Gaga" again, and the "GP" loves the record. But...the music is safe, simple, very very commercial, with lyrics that are extremely simple, relatable, and about "dancing in the club" and shallow/vapid love or s-x songs. They conform to the musical trends that are popular now and don't tread a lot of new territory...meanwhile, the videos are all song-length, perfectly produced, and directed by music video directors. Or. SCENARIO B: An album that is the inversion of the above. The singles are Top 10/20 hits that get moderately good reviews. The album goes #1 but doesn't sell as high as her previous work. The reviews all around are polarizing: some great, some bad, some mixed. The "GP" still has some harsh words for her, but there are also plenty of those that love her too. Some days it seems like she's on top of the world, other days it seems like she's the world's punching bag. The videos and releases come out late, some of her collaborators or members of her team depart or say things that we don't agree with, aspects of the "era" just seem sort of "messy". BUT: the music is fantastic. It pushes the envelope, sonically and lyrically, while still very pop and fun for the public. It is forward thinking, and very very "weird" and characteristically Gaga, and yet the choruses are still catchy, sing-a-long choruses. Meanwhile, the imagery is shocking, intense, edgy, and controversial, further fueling the public's polarizing view of her. This is a legitimate question: which would you rather have? It really boils down to this: Are you here because Gaga is successful, or because of what Gaga represents artistically? Because I, myself, came around here back in Summer of 2008. "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" had not yet gone #1. Gaga was big in the cities, but the average suburban teenager had not yet heard of her. She was releasing things like "The Fame Part 1", "Transmission Gagavision", performing at club after club, and touring the world. THE "GP" HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS, AND SHE HAD NO NUMBER ONES YET. But I loved every minute of it. Gaga started writing for ***cat Dolls and Britney Spears. She does not live in a bubble about what is commericial and what is not. Do you honestly think she isn't aware that naming an album "ARTPOP" and songs "Swine", "Government Hooker", "Shiza", "Teeth" aren't safe moves? Do you think she isn't completely aware that putting the word "transgendered" into a Top 40 hit or putting upside crosses over her vagina in the "Alejandro" video or walking around in raw meat aren't completely bat**** concepts to the average person? Gaga CHOOSES to go down this path of pushing the envelope, and she will NEVER STOP choosing this path. This is what her entire career and brand is based on. This is the kind of artist she wanted to be from the beginning. Look up any interviews with her in 2008...she may talk slightly different, and she may use more casual vernacular, but she still cites Warhol as her primary influence, she still talks about putting art in pop as early as right from the start. If you want Scenario A, I am really sorry to tell you: you are ALWAYS going to be disappointed. Sure, some aspects of that are going to happen, but she WILL NOT sell out just so you have bragging rights that your favorite artist is number one. And besides: she already has the label and the people above her putting pressure on her to be more commercial, so why the HELL would you guys want to do it too? When I heard this stirring that there was trouble at the top and that Troy was gone, I myself breathed a sigh of relief, because it made me realize something: Gaga really hasn't changed. She still has her integrity. After all the fame and all the money and all the glory, she still puts her art and her honest heart first, and she'd rather stir the pot and have a "messy" era and lose her manager to preserve the integrity of her work. From the beginning, Gaga has been a rockstar who just happens to sing pop music, so reducing herself to something lower than what she's capable of just for a quick buck has always been against her ethics as a performer. And the fact that that's the case should be something you/we should celebrate, not something to shame her for. There are PLENTY of Scenario A's in other artists to go around...go worship one of them. They'd love to have your money, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
