Now this album on the other hand, I'm sure people are Googling it by the millisecond. And I'm sure lots of people are being led to this very thread and Amazon's page. I'm sure people are taking advantage of these opportunities too.
Regardless of whether other people did it too. The question remains. Is GaGa selling for fame, or is she selling for music. The other girls have proven their love for music stands above all with their passion to record but with GaGa it seems all she cares about is making the headlines and toppling records. So what if she writes her music. So what if she produces her songs. So what if she is "redefining" pop. She's still a fame hooker and that's not cute.

Why is being a "fame hooker" not cute? Gaga is using her fame as a platform for social justice and for her message of inclusiveness and love. "So what if she produces her songs and writes her music and is redefining pop?" That's what being a music artist, and a superstar, is all about. The other girls haven't proven their love for music; they use the same producers (a la Max Martin and Dr. Luke), ***** out the same melodies and chord progressions to generic backing tracks, often don't write their melodies and lyrics, often don't coproduce their music, and always discount their individuality for another hit. Have you even heard Born This Way? If all Gaga cared about was selling records, she would have recorded The Fame 2.0 and played it safe while not growing musically. I like Britney and Rihanna, but to say that "have proven their love for music stans above all" while Gaga's doesn't is completely ludicrous. Gaga is the most self-created artist in the business today, and everything from her lyrics to her production to her performance art to her music videos are driven by her creativity herself. That's not to say Britney and Rihanna are not like that, but to accuse Gaga of abandoning her musical artistry for more fame is ridiculous.
Gaga Please you could do great without this!!
