elijahfan 24,855 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wait, what exactly do we know about what happened in the past few months? All she said was that she needed more time to actually FINISH the video. And since then, we've been waiting. If she said something like "I just chose to cancel the video and move on" I wouldn't even post this thread. She makes everything look so questionable. We all thought that it was Intercope's decision to release DWUW over Venus, but she said it was HER choice, then everything suddenly got miserable and weird Just because I want her to be the best doesn't mean I should instead go stan for Katy Perry or something. This hasn't been a normal era, at least for an artist like Gaga. Something IS going on with her or her management or her label, I don't know, but something is happening. Like she shot something a few weeks ago, do we know anything about it? Did she show any sign of releasing a new single lately? And all of her recent appearances are completely irrelevant to the matter of promoting ARTPOP. It's just why she keeps us wondering and wondering when she can just clarify a few things. She never said she needed more time to release the video... Instead, she said that her former management had given her barely one week to plan the shoot, and that she ultimately wasn't totally happy with the result. Gaga is the kind of artist who would rather just scrap something and move on than give us something that doesn't fully represent her artistic vision. Like I said, we're not stupid and she knows it, she doesn't owe us any kind of explanation, I think we're all intelligent enough to know that this video won't see the light of day anytime soon, or ever (my personal theory is that we'll see bits of it in the Terry documentary... if this is still happening). What we know from the past months is that things went ****ty with her management. Yes, she said that choosing DWUW over Venus was her choice - she said that when everyone was jumping at Interscope's throat, thinking they were responsible for this, and maybe she lied so that the fans would stop whining. That wouldn't be the first time she lied to stop an outrage: in 2011 during the BTW/EY mess, she said that Madonna had sent her a mail saying she was cool with BTW, mail that, Madonna said later, she never sent Gaga. The Venus video was planned and ready to shoot - and instead, Gaga had to hurry planning a new video from scratch and rush release her 2nd single... something that, we can be sure, she wasn't happy about. Add to this all the things we don't know, and it led to her firing her management. She definitely wanted to give ARTPOP a new, fresh start, and that involved doing a little bit of cleaning up around her. After all this, she wasn't bound anymore to release a video she was rushed into making, and that she was definitely not happy with. Add to this: a nice little depression at the beginning of the year (something she talks about in Harper's Bazaar), and it all explains the months of silence we've been through. But now she's reportedly back on track: she shot a video (unlike what you seem to imply, making a video doesn't take just a few days, so give her some time until we see the result, Ok?). She'll announce her new single probably this month, so everyone should be fine. We're finally seeing the end of the tunnel, and we should all be happy about it. As for her Oscars appearance: she was bound to attend because of her contract with Versace. And there's nothing wrong with reminding people that she exists, especially shortly before her comeback into the spotlight. Sorry for the big ass answer, but there's no need to hold old grudges against her, she's doing her best, and we all know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 7,584 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wouldn't put complete blame on her. Gaga herself has expressed that we shouldn't judge so readily on something we don't know what's happening behind closed doors. It could be a number of things, but in the end, Gaga has chosen to not speak about it with the public. The truth could open another can of worms about her management, her label, or HER... and that's not what we need right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayedForTheGod 665 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I honestly think that she scrapped the video because she had made a controversial video with R.Kelly but after the R.Kelly scandal and backlash she was afraid that releasing the video and making people really noticing it may harm the era and her image more than not releaseling and moving on. She is just acting like it didn't happen now and she seems to be working on something big, I wish we new what is going on... Harm the era more than a low peaking(for gaga) song and no video for said song and follow that up with a blackout..... :smh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Harm the era more than a low peaking(for gaga) song and no video for said song and follow that up with a blackout..... Yes, because the backlash of a video with someone like R.Kelly could seriously damage her name and that would be forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Primavera 13 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It had potential, but the video situation messed everything up. I'm over it tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayedForTheGod 665 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes, because the backlash of a video with someone like R.Kelly could seriously damage her name and that would be forever. It wouldn't really. Rkelly albums always sell well. So people are over his scandal. The fact that DWUW got as high as it did without a video is evident of that as well. Plus she won't release a video with him but she will work with Terry Richardson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC96 29 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It just irritates me at how this could have been a massive hit... Everyone I know loves it, and it's a brilliant song, but it got treated badly :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronyoji 2,007 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 yeah honestly my views changed on the song when it was chosen to be a single all of a sudden in spite of venus being the 2nd single. i was all for dwuw being a single at some point, maybe in the summer cuz its a perfect summer jam, but ever since then ive just sort of had this chip on my shoulder because ever since that mess it led to not only internal management problems, but it was her least creative single era to date. no creativity comes out of a song so real unless its gaga, but even with her it just didnt lead to anything. and it deserves more, it deserves more than me not liking it because of that small stuff, because its a great song and has/had the potential to be a classic. but idk. i just dont know.

Ladey Gagz 2,512 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It had potential, but the video situation messed everything up. I'm over it tbh. this I'm so over it and just want the 3rd single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesToStart 2,502 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 To answer one of your points, the reason why Gaga seemed to cool on DWUW was because she has a hard time singing it if she's not angry. It's hard to muster the fire needed to do the song justice if you're happy. (She said something along these lines in an interview, Alan Carr I think) But I agree, DWUW is a fantastic song, both the Kelly and Aguilera versions, and it deserved better. Is and will always be in my top 5 of ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sales come from his fans only. Hip hop artists have very loyal fanbases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambino 24,052 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm not holding any grudges against her lol. All I'd like her do is give a little explanation of what happened to the video and why she'd give up on an amazing song that could make a great single for her career She said she was given two weeks to finish the video, and it was the same with Applause and that caused her not to reflect her artistic vision and that made everyone assume that she needed more time to shoot the video. All I'm saying is that she had months to finish a video but she just didn't. Why? I'm asking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
