Unless I've missed something she said. She even said she loved going back and re-listening to it cause having some distance from it often yields a different perspective/appreciation, even if that new perspective is to have some objective observation about that place you'd .been in at the time I know I've had that happen many times for me when I go back and read things I wrote years ago.

I'm referring to the excuses she pours time-to-time on her social networking website.

And I guess you would bother defending it cuz you actually liked it and thought it was her best so far. Those are pretty good reasons, neither of which her opinion should really have any bearing on. It's quite common for artists to be out of sync with the public and conventional wisdom in terms of what they perceive to be their best/worst work. Woody Allen listed Vicky Cristy Barcelona as one of his best but not Annie Hall, Interiors, or Manhattan, which seems pretty close to objectively crazy.

That's fine. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm beginning to hate
her which was what I was pointing out in the post to begin with. For instance, I hate Radiohead and go out of my way to ignore anything Thom Yorke says and does, but I love their music. I used to shy away from Arcade Fire shows because of quotes I'd read from Win Butler (which I no longer believe were legitimate), but I always loved their music. I love Born This Way, but Gaga is becoming insufferable, whiny, and clueless with only the most occasional dose of likability or sensibility. I dislike her. I hated the Born This Way Ball because I had to listen to her speak for an hour.
He and Khia are the only rappers I'd go see live.
