"I got to keep it real. Before I met her I thought she was a sexy girl... she's really into her style, she's locked into her character and she don't give a damn about what anybody have to say about it. Then when I met her, I felt like I met my match. She's got balls. She don't give a damn. She writes her music, she produces some of her music and she comes up with her own concepts and I do the same thing. it was a perfect match. When we got on that video set, and the studio, it was perfect. It was a natural jelling." - R. Kelly

"Professionally, I think she's amazing. She would come out of a show after singing live for three hours and giving it everything, but just go straight to the studio and record. She would still give everything - even on the demo take! She's really impressive.
I learnt a lot because I don't really work with vocalists in real life that often. For my previous collaborations I'd never met them while doing the song. It was really interesting for me to feel the vibe of working together, sitting at the piano and collaborating on ideas right away." - Madeon

And the list goes on.

Didn't Zedd said that he told Gaga to not put some songs on the album beacause they didnt sound like hits or something?

Them he gives her a bunch of leftovers and his song flopped. Like okay.

How is her being a lazy artist when it comes to her music arguable She writes, composes most of her material, and sings on her tracks. Not to mention she's a mainly DIY artist with a big budget. I just don't get how some of you are so insensitive and try and bring her down for the sake of a few kiis on the internet when you're bored. It's annoying. You don't have to kiss her ass but be realistic with expectations from her at least.

I'm not going to go into theme "depression" but it's not really amazing how much she did in the ARTPOP era compare to what she did in the Born This Way era or even TFM. I'm not going to protect something she had 2 years to plan when she didn't even had the Applause music video ready 2 weeks before or even the single number 2. She is obviously not lazy but she have done better in an smaller time than ARTPOP

To be fair she had 2 years, had a concept and it was tossed to the side by her label. Then she had to record how ever many more songs and throw them together with previous ideas, etc. Like Venus was recorded in September (?), about two months before the album was released..

This post pretty much marked the end of the ARTPOP era http://instagram.com/p/pohd0RpFDM/
Rejoice and get excited for new things to come. Complaining about the past won't change a thing.
Just saying.

Meh, and even then people were going on about how Born This Way was a turn off to the general public and that she didn't really know how to write hits anymore then. She was scary and weird, I guess in retrospect it's easier to see that Born This Way the album is obviously written better but can't say much about the time span. They were both written during extensive world tours, she just had about a year more to work on ARTPOP than for BTW.

nnnn, I was more interested in the 7 minute track they did together honestly. And of course we never got it.

DWUW solo version is life. It's so good, it's a masterpiece.

Welp

I think we should all just be grateful gaga was nice enough to drop a promo LP and tour it before Cheek to Cheek

Artpop really does feel like a EP

But in black? Hmm!

Why because you only really use like 4-5 songs?

Bye I meant the era, it was literally like half a year (besides the tour)

nnnn

Many artists have theirs album ideas throw in the trash but still make amazing albums. If the label didn't like the original ARTPOP was it probably for the best. The biggest mistake with ARTPOP was going for the EDM kind of mainstream ...

The album itself was AMAZING "Born This Way", but it was done WRONG by the image she was going for in style and obviously the biggest mistake with the single choices ...
