    Really? I don't think I'm screaming and crying like an obvious lunatic fanboy. I'm simply stating how incredibly ignorant people are about her; only judging her by her looks and/or their preconceived notions about pop music. We get it, being a gaming forum, we're going to have virgins hipsters who think death metal is the one and only genre of music that isn't "commercially produced mainstream shit".

    I just can't stand ignorance when it comes to a successful woman who actually has incredible vocal talent (I hope saying that doesn't set off your guys' 'fanboyy!!!111!!!!11' radars).

    Leave metal out of this, please. This thread was started by a rap fan. That's an incredibly judgmental attitude. I play games. Yes, I like death metal... but I also listen to folk music, synth-pop, rap, and actually have a playlist of songs from boy bands. Just because someone disagrees with you or thinks you're a certain way doesn't mean you should go off and think of anyone else in a bad way yourself. That's now Lady Gaga expects her fans to treat people, as far as I understand.

    Massive layoffs at her label? Oh, good, maybe that will mean she'll get a new, not-shitty label.

    Seriously, sales aren't everything. They shouldn't be the sole measure of success when it comes to music.

    It was merely an example directed towards the people who have total hatred for her simply because she's a pop artist. I know not all death metal fans are like that, so I'm sorry you were offended. And yes, I know, I also listen to a wide variety of music. Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written. A lot of people would find it shocking that someone can enjoy mainstream music along with the classical masterpieces. Little irks me more than people who think their favorite genre of music is the only acceptable kind.

    Also, I know people will disagree with my on many things. I have nothing against that, including them disliking Lady Gaga. In fact, I read an extremely negative ARTPOP review about a week ago, and the writer left a note saying that she had to disable the comments because she was receiving death, rape, and torture threats from overzealous Gaga fans. I personally felt the need to contact her and express my deepest apologies for those mentally ill people. Yes, some Gaga fans can act exactly the way that the Mother Monster herself fights against.

    All I was doing was just addressing the blind hatred that people have for someone because she's somewhat "different" and/or makes music that they don't particularly enjoy.

    I still like the fact that people mention "Real Artists" and half the people they name if not more don't even write their own material. I don't care if you have a great voice, if you can't write your own material then you aren't an artist you are just another instrument.

    Shockingly, she also writes her own material.

    Music these days exists to make money, not be an art form which is saddening. There is no one who tries to be unique musically anymore, rock is generic and pop is riddled with auto tuning and no talent hacks who can't write or sing.

    How do you go from selling 1.1 million copies of your last album two years ago to only selling 250,000 two years later? I wouldn't be suprised if she bought tons of copies of Born This Way to inflate sales figures. /boggle

    Even Jay-Z's last album this year sold 520,000 the first week.

    The most interesting stat I heard is " The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was streamed 10 million times on Spotify in its debut week", now that is some numbers.

    I'm definitely not a fan, but I've also never really understood people who go out the way to wish bad on people and celebrate their failures, even celebrities. Is the music bad? In my opinion yes, but I take care of that by just not listening to it.

    Then again I'm learning to accept that I'm becoming old and irrelevant. The only people I have even heard of from the OP was Gaga and Eminem. On top of that I thought Eminem stopped making music years ago, and for years I thought Gaga was an actress.

    Go ahead, you can laugh, lol.

    Yeah, that's not even that bad either. But I guess they were expecting a lot more the first week.

    I think people just like watching celebs crash and burn, destruct etc.

    Seriously, music has been going down-hill since the [insert decade you reached your teens here] ended, the only people still making good music are [insert band still working from that decade] and [insert band copying previous band].

    pop artists literally make 99% of their money from concerts and endorsements/merchandise. GaGa probably doesnt give a bakers fuck.

    they are rolling in the doe from her tour nobody cares.


    p.s.

    I like popular music. It is fun catchy and makes car travel bearable. Just because you don't share my opinion does not mean you need to belittle the people that differ from you.

    Anyone who says she can't sing has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. I don't like the music she chooses to perform, but she is a HELL of a singer.
