I think she's made it more than clear this is what she wants and doesn't care about.

SCREMAING at KIIS.
I've accepted the fact that they've either scrapped the DWUW video or have pushed it back because of the backlash it would cause. I was hoping for some controversy but this wouldn't be good controversy.

I don't think they scrapped it.
Maybe they are re-shooting/re-editing...
Or maybe they are waiting for Christmas to end

that's not a smart move, alienating your own fanbase.
i'm not here for the "real fan" test bull ****, i've been with this bitch since the very beginning of the fame era. i just want her to start making good decisions again that will keep her slaying the charts and whatnot. sure, success isn't everything, but it's necessary to an extent to continue on in the business.
she can preach about how she doesn't give two ***** about sales, but in the end, the sales DO matter.

Gaga isn't alienating her own fanbase, her fans are alienating her own fanbase. The "decisions" Gaga makes should in no way affect the fanbase and how they feel because they have nothing to do with the fanbase and how they feel. None of the mistakes that have happened during this era would be cared about if she was #1 right now, which is the problem. When Katy Perry's single flops, her fans don't go into meltdown mode and turn against her. When Beyonce decided to throw an album out without warning, her fans didn't go into meltdown mode and turn against her. But somehow Gaga's fans go into meltdown mode and turn against her. What does that say about this fanbase? That we're too worried about charts. And you know, nobody cares about charts in a smart way, they only care about charts because they want to brag. For me, I only care about charts because she needs a few hits to stay relevant and I want her to be around in ten years. But even if she isn't a huge star in ten years, I'll still be a fan.
It just seems pointless to focus so much on charting. It takes the fun away.
Edit: And guess what, Gaga sees all of this **** and Gaga's emotions are dictated by how the fans react to her. You can't expect her to perform her best when she knows her fans are just going to complain.

I just saw the numbers on MediaTraffic and was wondering...
10 / 4
week 6 Lady GaGa - Artpop
Interscope - 118.000
At least the album still sells more than 100k weekly and hopefully the album will see the increase in numbers on Christmas

I have always been 100% here for her no matter what, but lets not act like she isn't making really stupid decisions. I really don't care much about the charts either (I'm a hardcore Ke$ha stan too, so I guess that proves it alone ) but she really does care about the charts or at least her current success or at the very least, that she is being compared to her peers and for the first time she isn't the most successful of all of them.
Like I said since the very beggining of the era and to this day, I've enjoyed pretty much everything: performances, music, etc. But it's a fact that she has been making a lot of dumb decisions through the era. It's not just the delay of the DWUW video and her problems with Interscope, it's about her manager too, her Twitter (I think I don't have to explain further here ), etc.

This era is an awful rollercoaster ride, and I just re-joined the LM (with adding gaga to my trinity) at the beginning of this era  but I try to stay for sure, the album is my favourite by her

I must be the only one loving the remix.
The intro. Rick Ross' verse. The backing vocals during the bridge. The beat.
This bops guys!!!

I like it as well.
As long as it helps the song, it doesn't matter.
