It really frustrates me that Gaga wasn't able to do what she wanted. I don't really see any reason why she wasn't allowed to do that performance? In 2009 she 'bled to death' on stage and in 2011 she spent the whole night as Jo Calderone but they wouldn't let her do a clever, creative performance nor would they let her walk the carpet how she wanted? It seems really bizarre but I can't imagine how that must've upset/annoyed Gaga. 

 

I'm kinda glad we know about this, but there's part of me that wishes we didn't. It seems as though since people have read this concept, they've been almost putting down the performance we got and I don't like that. Gaga's 2013 VMA performance may not have been what she originally wanted, but she still put her absolute everything into making it as good as it was. It was an amazingly executed performance.

I think the Miley's performance did have something to do with it, but it wasn't made expressly clear.. it's easy to see why the gory nature of this performance would be off-putting, so they might have not only been turned off by that as an opener but also intending to hype up Miley, I don't know if it was in an attempt to "sabotage" Gaga's career, but because it was just a lucrative opportunity make it Miley's year, and it worked like a charm. I'm sure Gaga's not the first artist to experience something like this.

But still, the performance we got may have been somewhat toned down but the concept was still brilliant and I liked it, though this probably would've been epic, I agree. And yes, I really hope we get something like this on tour, I like what we've gotten so far but Gaga's not exactly vanilla in everything she does.. there's a certain expectation when you go to a Gaga show, I really hope she's able to have her full vision realized from now on, in general...

My guess would be that they were worried that it would take the attention from Miley. Gaga is old news to them so even with this she wasn't gonna get the same reaction Miley did but if she had done this she may have taken some of the attention from Miley like she did at the AMA's for example. 

 

MTV seems to live off moments like this and it's the only thing that makes their award shows relevant. This way everyone was talking about Miley's performance.

I still don't see why though. Wouldn't they rather two performances that got people talking rather than one? They know Gaga's had some iconic moments at the VMA's so why not let her continue? I think there's more to it personally.

I still love Gaga's actual performance at the VMAs the audience was going excited again and again during the show! 


And she still can do it on her tour btw

Am I the only one pressed that they released this information?

 

I mean, it's cool knowing it and all, but I'd rather they saved this idea for a future performance since it's such a great idea.

Wow, all makes sense now. That's why she talked so much about corporate world and how it is comtrolling artists and her letter about how mismanaged she was. Maybe Gaga asked Troy to convince MTV to let her do that, but he did nothing. And this is only one example of the whole ARTPOP situation. There may be many more things that went wrong. Wow, I feel so sorry for Gaga.
