In all seriousness though, why is this a problem for you?

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

I don't give a **** what she is as long as the music kicks ass and she doesn't get puked onstage.

"she is a commercial popstar when it suits her and pretends like she is some avant garde artist when it suits her"

 

Pure tea. But that is exactly the reason why she's doing it, so you already answered your question yourself ;)

 

 

She doesn't pretend. She just lives. Out of the box, out of expectations. Don't define her.

LANA DEL REY is more commercial than Gaga.

 

SHE is doing what's trendy in order to be popular.

 

Gaga hasn't tried to be popular since Telephone era, get with the picture

Basically :manicure:

Because i want to appreciate her art but can't if it is so disingenuous. I feel as though she is constantly pretending to be something she's not, i just wish she was more honest about things so i could enjoy them more. It just makes her seem really hypocritical in my opinions when shes on stage shouting stuff like 'f the pop industry" yet she is making millions from perfume and endorsements deals from it.

First of all this hasnt got anything to do with lana, ofcourse she is also commercial, shes a popstar. ALso the fact that you think gaga hasnt done anything to be popular since telephone just shows how deluded you are.

The real question is, why does it bothers you? Why does it bother anyone?

:applause:

Anyway, this anti-commercialism is a recent development that must have a lot to do with what's going on behind the scenes.

People have the gall to criticize her decisions here because they have absolutely no idea what goes on behind the scenes. All y'all care about is some trivial stan war for bragging rights, which has created an adoration for commercialism and corporate competition amongst pop fans. Gaga may still be very commercial in nature, but she's obviously trying to make a transition - a transition being made very difficult by her own fans.

To most of you, Gaga has been reduced to some stupid pretentious chick that talks a bunch of BS; which, is sad since it's coming from her own fans... the people who supposedly get her... but the reality is that she has seen, done, and met more people than most of you ever will. She knows the business. You don't.

Why can't she be both? She doesn't quite fit into any of the boxes that people try to shove her in, and why should she when she can be all of those things and none of those things simultaneously. 

 

Yeah she does do commercial things, and yes she is a popstar. She released a perfume like a lot of other celebs do but they didn't launch their perfumes at the Guggenheim where they were sleeping inside a giant version of their own perfume bottle, then pee into a bucket and get the back of their head tattooed. The perfume was hugely successful and combined both the "commercial popstar" and "performance artist" within her.
