Oh, you forgot to count in all those who tried to question his talent, intelligence or relevance. And surprisingly, it were only monsters lol

Cute try, tho

I am glad he cleared this up. Either way it is his opinion, but now he comes across as factually opinionated.

Journalism

So if he actually told that, it would have meant he is not factually opinionated?

(and he probably told something similar - the quotes were changed to sound negatively, not completely made up, since he oviously criticized the importance of image also in this post in a similar way)

Don't you know? The music industry is a hierarchy in which your rank is determined solely by how many iTunes #1 singles you have.

You didn't mention that in your original post so how is it possible to count it in the first place?

I was talking about acknowledgement in an ironic way, its sad that I have to explain it to you

NME hate Gaga so it's not surprising they reinterpreted his words the way they wanted...

I didn't even know he said anything about Gaga until now.

Ha, I had obviously forgotten. My tastes are predominately in the **** then by industry standards. Some of these kids on ATRL, I swear...

lol this dude just got an AOTY nomination

that was a coincidence. And people in this thread said that he wasn't relevant
