I think we've all heard about the Heartbeats headphones by Lady Gaga , but I just found a bunch of youtube videos of her at the press conference for them in NYC…. there's like 15 videos, but I thought this one was the most interesting. We all remember her bleeding costume/fashion at the VMAs, and she actually gives a really good answer when expressing what that was all about and what it has to do with her designing these headphones. ”I am my music, and I am my fashion…” I'm so impressed! It's like a 1 min video so check it out really quick and let me know
what everyone's take is on this:
OOOOH I like that, it makes a lot of sense... she actually sounded normal in that interview... and I love how she was like " you don't see me stumbling out of night clubs, because I am making music" she just pumped me up for her re-release
You want to know what the performance REALLY was about?

Lady Gaga’s performance was hailed as “brilliant” by many music fans. If you however ask them what it symbolizes, their face turns into a question mark. Here’s what Gaga said about her performance during an interview at gagadaily.com

Do you think it will be one of those defining moments people will remember at the VMAs?
I know it will. I sort of have this philosophy about things: there’s never a reason to do something unless it’s going to be memorable, unless it’s going to change things, unless it’s going to inspire a movement. With the song and with the performance, I hope to say something very grave about fame and the price of it.
Something grave? What?
You’ll have to see.
What are you going to wear?
I would say that the fashion for the performance is a representation of the most stoic and memorable martyrs of fame in history. It’s intended to be an iconic image that represents people. I think after watching the performance and maybe studying it after you watch it on YouTube, you’ll see the references and the symbols come through.
The setting for the performance is very symbolic. Gaga performs in a temple or maybe an aristocratic mansion, complete with columns, chandlers and paintings. Occult rituals, mind control experiments and even human sacrifices have been constantly rumored to take place in those kinds of settings. One feature I cannot ignore is the presence of two massive pillars underneath an arch.

Those are unmistakable Masonic symbols as depicted on this lithograph:
This obvious reference to Freemasonry hints to the occult and ritualistic aspect of Gaga’s performance. Masons are known to carry in their lodges ritual dramas, which are live reenactments of allegorical stories. Gaga’s performance symbolizes her rise to fame and the sacrifice she had to make in order to succeed.
When the bloody Gaga is lifted in the air, an eerie light comes out of of between the pillars and the dancers lift their arms in the air in praise. Many ancient religions carried out ritual sacrifices to please the gods. Blood sacrifices have also been viewed by black magicians as the ultimate way to collect spiritual energy. The final scene of the performance conveys the presence of this mysterious “force” after a sacrifice.
Rising star
Right after her performance, Gaga appears dressed in an all red dress, with her face completely covered. She is basically a walking, talking blood sacrifice. It represents the aftermath of fame, the hellish life that follows the sacrifice, the selling of the soul for success in the music industry.
. She should just stick to making good songs.
