Fernando Garibay has said before that Gaga always gives writing credit to people unnecessarily. Whether they contribute to half of the song or just change one word.
THR: She’s credited as a co-writer on most songs from Born This Way, what percentage of the songwriting would you say she’s responsible for?
Garibay: She doesn't need anyone to write a hit song. A lot of times, it’s 100% her. She's generous enough to give the producers who worked on this album a percentage of the songwriting for the production and whatever contributions we gave in arrangement or a few lyrical suggestions here and there.
In her recent interview to Yahoo she said:“If you’re not gonna write your own music,” she tells me, “you better be able to blow. Because if you can’t blow, there’s no reason to do the job. But then you think about artists that can’t really sing, that have songs written for them, and it’s like, well why are they artists? Why are companies paying money to promote them? Because they’re beautiful and look good on camera and are kinda-sorta singing along? It’s like karaoke for pretty girls. When you’re a singer-songwriter it doesn’t really matter if you’re beautiful. What matters is that you create a relationship with your fans, and they care what you have to say.” https://www.yahoo.com/style/the-many...645288063.html
Loved everything she said until her last sentence or two, because you KNOW she's indicating shes a singer-"songwriter" and an "artist" and that her music is better than others' and she's more artistic and true than others. She's very full of herself, which I dont like.. She has a lot to prove before people don't view her as just a silly pop star
well, we watch movies and actors do not write their lines, but we still watch them and enjoy the movie? Its that simple. As long as the material is good, it doesn't matter if you can sing/act/dance etc.
You're dumb. They aren't titled playwriters they're titled actors and credited for the appropriate art. You can't act like this hasn't boggled you before. "Why is THAT person famous... why were THEY chosen?" And if you haven't then maybe you're the problem 😬

What she's saying is true. Unfortunately, because she is not talented, her music/videos/performances are horrible, so she's not the one who should be saying it.
I don't understand why she shouldn't be saying this if it has nothing to do with quality? It's about being a part of the product that has your name branded on it, which she has always done.
Because they're sick of her stans bringing her up all the time. We all would have forgotten about her by now, but you wouldn't let us.
bye theimmigrant, as if you and your fellow anti-stans aren't making threads about her every day and commenting in every thread with her name on it. It's POP CULTURE that's making you guys unable to forget about Lady Gaga. She's here to stay, so get over it.
