In all fairness though I don't understand why they have done this. The album will sell anyway, never mind all the promo she/her team have done. She cold have opened with huge numbers anyway and not have this over her head.

They are just taking every opportunity they have, so why not? I don't see a problem... Or I don't see a reason why they shouldn't.

They will if this works out well for Gaga.

She isn't the first artist to give stuff away with phones, though. She's just the first it give away her album opening week.

Besides, the fact anyone could MURDER anyone would mean murder someone is not a crime anymore?

Well, for the exact reasons people have been arguing about over the past few pages. She could have opening with huge numbers and not be accused of being a cheater.

Before I even came into this thread, I knew exactly which 3 or 4 pressed fools would be wallowing in it. The very definition of pathetic.

LMFAO, the second I saw who posted this thread I know it was just going to be a bunch of pressed ass ********.

First of all.....it's a ****ing pressed reporter from The Examiner
And even if does so happen to be true tea, YALL are mad because Gaga knows how to get sales and your faves don't. It isn't cheating; it's not like they're giving away a free CD with every single purchase of the smartphones, it's only if the consumer actually has a desire for the CD.

I wouldn't really consider that desperate or un-admirable at all, but the pressed will forever stay pressed at the biggest pop star on the planet.

So you don't think if this works out well for Gaga, that labels won't see it as a good opportunity for their artists as well?

It's my duty to educate the gorls. Get it while it's free.

Just one quick question: What would you all be saying your fave had done it ? Would it still be cheating? Or is it a good marketing-strategy? & don't say "My fave would never ", cause you don't know that.

you yourself said that nobody is going to buy the smartphones because of the giveaway.



the cellphones aren't shipped with born this way, they just add the album to regular sales of those phones. and if what cookiepants said about even iphone not selling 200k in the whole country, those 3 models of samsung are probably doing less 10k at bestbuy alone

1) Yes no one would ever buy a phone for an album. But people will buy iPhones regardless of whether an album is featured. That counts as sales for Gaga, you know.

2) You don't have proof of that. Numbers might be much higher. We have to wait for more info.

You are NOT comparing free albums as a form of promo to MURDER...

Well yeah, a lot of people would support it, but all of you would say its cheating. It is a 2 way street, but thats just the way it is.

You're comparing murder with giving away an album with a cellphone. Think about what you're saying.

Exactly, so basically this arguing is more or less stupidity unless you stan for air. Case closed, we can move on. Unless haters of course want to drag on about how it's cheating.

Bibli said that anyone could do what Gaga did. What Gaga did could be considered as an infraction. He basically said anyone could commit this infraction to justify Gaga's "marketing" was actually OK.

So I compared an infraction to another infraction to highlight how "SURPRISING" (I'm gonna keep it cute) this comment was. Cause as far as I know, the fact that anyone could commit an infraction (let's say MURDER), doesn't make it okay.

Glad to know you realise it now.
