It's funny because that'll probably happen.

She always does this. If ARTPOP was doing 1989 numbers, she would never have said this. She would've said that she's trying to bring the two loves in her life jazz and pop together in some reverse Fitzgeraldholian way or something. She just says whatever helps her to sell her current image or product. Most popstars do though.

Her statement has nothing to do with the "lowbrow" movement.
She was talking about how CREATING pop music was uncomfortable because most of it is Pro-Tools and not live instruments. She's not making any commentary about the QUALITY or the state of pop music today.

Are there any better pop forums out there to post on where people aren't this dumb and biased?
What she said: She's a classically trained musician that felt uncomfortable when she transitioned over to pop music because of the industry "it's very electronic, and it's all about how you look" (this is not un-true)
What ATRL interpreted: She hates pop music and it makes her feel uncomfortable, which makes her a hypocrite with a bad attitude because she "flopped" and now apparently hates the music industry that she's still very successful in.
You guys lack comprehension skills, there are literally 13 pages of you guys bitching over NOTHING. All of this effort until she releases the first snippet from her next album and you'll all be jonny'ing and dick riding her. Also tshirt, the fact that you're getting your full LIFE from this makes you look so lame. You literally enjoy these reactions and I don't get why. Doesn't hurt her (she's not even seeing them), definitely doesn't do anything for your life, idgi

She is classically trained on the piano, but she transitioned into pop music before actually getting into the industry. According to her, she said she was playing pop music on the Lower East Side because it was deemed "unpopular and uncool" so she went against what people said. So she was doing pop long before she even took off. That being said she knew what industry she was getting into and how cut throat it was. This industry, especially in the past 10 years or so, has been tailored to be what it is today. It just seems like she is bitter about how things have gone down in the past year and is pinning everything how the industry is so manufactured. Well? You wanted in and now that you got in you don't like it?

She didn't play POP music on the Lower East Side
"I was onstage in a thong, with a fringe hanging over my ass thinking that had covered it, lighting hairsprays on fire, go-go dancing to Black Sabbath and singing songs about oral sex. The kids would scream and cheer and then we'd all go grab a beer. It represented freedom to me. I went to a Catholic school but it was on the New York underground that I found myself."

She was playing pop music and she has said it before because she wanted to go against what people thought was cool. She was even making pop music when she was still on the Lower East Side when she was working with Fusari. She and Starlight were dancing to the tracks she made with Fusari which was what? Pop tracks. Furthermore, in 2007 she continued to play her Fursari pop tracks at Lollapalooza which was before her fame and she was still living in her two by two NYC apartment.

So youre saying that just because she started making pop music means that she fully understood the reality of the pop music industry before even entering it? Your argument doesn't even make sense, you're bending the truth, reaching for the stars, and assuming that you know what she's thinking. All the while you most likely STILL haven't watched the clip

She seems like one of those college papers that adds in fancy words and statements to give off the impression that she's intelligent and well spoken. Ever since mid-BTW she just comes off as this music snob, calling her music art, political, and inventing terms for it. Its tiring listening to her speak, its like listening to a math teacher explain literature. The "pop music industry is a bad place" statement has been read more times then the Bible, since even Madonna's time. Hollywood, is a place of conformity and deception, this is nothing new, why repeat an already known statement to come across indie?
Regardless what she was trying to say, her comment still comes off hypocritical. I can see what some little monsters want that fame era Gaga back, she was more fun and loveable.

I'm glad that she says what she wants cuz people try and find something wrong with anything she says no matter how harmless it is.  She was just saying how she was more comfortable with Tony and how it was easier with him creating music than it was for her in the past maybe. And I mean who could blame her? Look at all the judgemental queens here ripping her apart for anything.  |
You do the same exact thing to Katy though so...

I think people are taking it out of context... She didn't say pop MUSIC she said the pop INDUSTRY. And when she says it's all about how you look I doubt she's refrencing the ridiculous costumes she loves, but more likely physical appearance, since not everyone considers her traditionally sexy.

She was snatched up to be a singer in a band and Fusari in an interview himself (even this year) said that at the start they were making Beatles-esque songs with the piano but that it wasn't going anywhere and he suggested that they should do something completely different to what she did before, just do a 180 and that was when she went blond and started making pop songs. It was never her plan to do pure pop and becoming a pop star but that's what exactly happened and it just sky rocketed. Being a pop star comes with different aspects then just being a singer in a band making rock songs.

Rob lied just like how he said he discovered Gaga when in reality wendy starland did and she introduced Gaga to Rob. Gaga knew she wanted to make pop music from 2005-2007. Gaga always loved dance pop music since she did that in the dive bar/club scene and lady starlight has told many fans in the born brave bus that gaga wanted to do dance music because it made her feel great and she wanted to push the boundaries because dance music wasn't that mainstream on top 40 radio during those times and Gaga nailed it with the fame. Of course Gaga loved rock music and is a rock star but The Fame isn't purely electronic pop either. The Fame has many songs that can be played as a rock song live. Gaga even described Boys Boys Boys as a metal song trapped in a pop stars body. Gaga has said many times that she loves many electronic music and that people that say electronic is soulless are ignorant. Brown Eyes is a great acoustic song and Gaga always showcased her true versatility as an artist since the beginning. Gaga is just delusional now and pretends to act like the industry controlled her during the beginning of her career when in reality she was most free during 2008 and chose all her singles. It was during the fame monster is when she started getting more restricted. Cheek to cheek has made gaga too pretentious and her ego is so far up her ass its kind of sad to see. I can't tell whether Gaga is being real or not anymore because she thinks having a jazz legend mentor her is the right way when in reality tony bennett is poisoning her mind into thinking her previous work isn't authentic or organic. Gaga's work has always come from a good place in her heart but ever since she started making jazz music with tony, she kind of brainwashed her into thinking her past work isn't authentic and that she never sang good when in truth Gaga had more impressive vocal moments earlier in her career. Many people are blinded into thinking Gaga sings better now on cheek to cheek and honestly her vocals are so try hard now and she shouts most of the time and its just hard to hear without covering your ears. Compare 19 year old Gaga singing Captivated in NYU and then compare that to the embarrassing Bang Bang performance at PBS. The only performance on C2C that Gaga excelled vocally was Lush Life and maybe But Beautiful but everything else is pretty bland and her vocal progressions aren't as natural as they sounded before.
