Computer 10,973 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry if AP, I checked and don't see the Billboard article posted. Looks like they follow LM.com...Pop star clears the air with fans on LittleMonsters website In a recent conversation with her fans on her LittleMonsters website, Lady Gaga hit on topics such as rumors of "ARTPOP" losing Interscope $25 million and causing layoffs at the label, trusting those around her and much more. Around the release of "ARTPOP," an Examiner article, which has since disappeared, claimed that Gaga's new album had sold well below what Interscope had hoped, setting into motion a chain reaction that ended in a multi-million dollar loss and layoffs at the label. However, in a post on the website, the pop star said there was "no truth to many of your comments, including the 25 million dollars deficit." In fact, according to Gaga, there's no ill will at Interscope at all despite selling 258,000 copies of "ARTPOP" in its first week out -- tepid numbers compared to her past releases. "I have lost love [sic] ones to the greed of money," she wrote. "It is not interscope. They in fact love me very much and will see 'ARTPOP' to the end." As Popcrush notes, her comments hint at possible betrayal by those formerly close to her. "My heart breaks from the people I have trusted and loved who I’ve worked so closely with, who have used me, lied to me, worked me into the ground for the personal gain," the singer wrote. "When I woke up in the hospital after my surgery there were many people that were not there. My health did not matter. I did not matter unless I could perform. This is a very hard lesson." Since the release of "ARTPOP," Gaga has lashed out at detractors who, she says, send an "overflow of hate" her way. "I put so much love into my music, into my shows, I make it all for you. I'll never understand the overflow of hate sent my way," she wrote on Twitter last November. "Or maybe thats what entertainment is now. It's more fun to point & laugh than appreciate the artist. I'll keep rehearsing my steps ‪#showbiz." The singer also lost longtime manager Troy Carter, with whom she split two months ago. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5862267/lady-gaga-discounts-rumors-hints-at-deception-in-website-vent 💚💛💕❣⭕💢💢 | ⓜⓔⓡⓡⓨ ©ⓗⓡⓘⓢⓣⓜⓐⓢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Angela Cheng Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This is addressed to Lady Gaga and all of her fans who I have upset over the past few years. As a journalist, I aim to create stories that evoke a sense of interest. My stories that have been posted, I believe, have done so. However, recent developments in my life have lead me to believe that I should also be aiming to do something else with my power, and writing. That is, to make a difference. I may see Lady Gaga from time to time copy Madonna, I may have a distaste towards her music and art, but I cannot deny she cares about making the world a better place. I feel that my articles may have mislead people to believe I think otherwise, and I regret doing so. Lady Gaga is in a horrible, horrible place. At the end of the day, if she does anything silly, I don't want to be part of the reason why. I may be one of America's most formidable journalists and a rising star, but I do not want this to come at the cost of someone's mental health. Lady Gaga, continue doing what you see fit to create pop music for your fans. May I just say, I most definitely do not agree with everything you do (and personally, I think that criticism is great when it is constructive) but I will no longer insult your work. Little Monsters, all I can say, after the months of Twitter abuse (which is why I chose to sign up and post this here) and the incredible lack of character shown by many of you, is that it is time to step up and be there for Stefani. If you love her, you'll help her. She is a person, not a product. You are not helping her by harassing me. #bornbrave I will be in the chat room on the hour if anyone wants to talk to me.

No Angel 128 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This whole situation with Gaga at the moment is just unusual. These letters she's writing gives me a feeling that she isn't the same. It may sound selfish, but I hope she's writing song lyrics now. When she's in some type of negative situation, her best work comes to light. kween of controversy I don't think it's AP though? Haven't read that article yet... "In fact, according to Gaga, there's no ill will at Interscope at all despite selling 258,000 copies of "ARTPOP" in its first week out -- tepid numbers compared to her past releases." Was that^ actually necessary? Like? I guess they added that comment cause some assumed just because she sold a lukewarm 258K, Interscope and her were having issues. If that makes sense, I suppose?
