It's common knowledge, really.

No you are fans and you are supposed to be there to enjoy the ride, the product should be entirely the artists decision.

Rihanna made Rated R right after the international pop sensation that was Good Girl Gone Bad, we wanted more sugar pop and she gave us Hip-Hop/Rock/Pop, branching out. It was a commercial disaster but it's the most loved LP she has within her fan base. When the artist takes control and creates something magnificent their fans should have no problem with it. They shouldn't try to release what ever their fans want, they should release what they think is the best song for their career and legacy.

But then again, the Little Monsters are Lady GaGa's only defining point now, so maybe she should listen to y'all...

You are making a great point here. But remember she found balance with LOUD, which did good album wise and single wise. And her first single was an instant hit.. There are a lot of things to take in count.

But Rated R has really done nothing for Rihanna's legacy at all, though?

And just because they're fans doesn't mean they have to eat up anything that their favorites serve to them.

Gaga's song sucks, and I'm kinda glad that she didn't get a high first week just because her fanbase is so big. This proves to me that they aren't as gullible as one likes to believe.

Mess.

Partially for damaging her brand, placing the monsters as an axis power in the stan world.

The natural reaction is the alliance of non-gaga fan bases. I have seen their power to block Gaga from awards by voting on Katy. This time it's the sales on iTunes.

Gaga hasn't convinced me that she can write songs or understands it. Most of the times it's a pointless mess.

Throwing a lot of difficult words on a pile doesn't make a good essay. I do respect physicists capable of explaining difficult subjects in accessible language. It shows how good they understands it and they don't have to look smart by using difficult words.

Musically Applause did nothing by annoying me and the lyrics just reaffirms the bad traits she and her fan base represents. It's good that we knocked them from the high horse.

Slightly, if GaGa was more worried about being a great artist instead of trying to be this huge Political analyst, World Moving, Game Changer she wouldn't be in this predicament.

And the monsters have wayyyy too much power if she actually listens to you guys. She's the artist.

This sooo much,although I like what she does but Gagz you need to pick you Scheiße together!

Gaga said: ARTPOP and Applause are experimental and revolutionary.

I'll wait until the next single/the album until I decide whether or not I'm worried about the ARTPOP era

y'all are doing the ABSOLUTE most to try and tear gaga down

J03Y

it isn't underperforming, stop overexaggerating just because it's been released early and therefore isn't beating Katy like it was supposed to with proper promo

You girls are a mess tbh. Just because she's not doing as well as Robin or Katy doesn't mean she's underperforming. she'll rise somehow
