What bothers me is the sheer degree of self indulgence and egomania that has possessed her this era. Having to direct all your videos, fire directors when alternatives are suggested, rehash ideas that worked the first time but haven't the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, do not fall within, even the most delusional umbrella of creative control.
She refuses to listen to the fans, even when she was flooded with complaint tweets about TEoG video, she retweeted a compliment.
Yes, everone got their kiiiii from troll Gaga, but the deeper issue still remains. Why can't she accept that something isn't working and god forbid, actually TAKE HEED OF SOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
That is all for today. |
I understand your frustration. What I don't understand is the basis of your frustration.
Wanting to be in control of your own vision and career is not being an egomaniac or self-indulgent. There are dozens of people who worked on each set with Gaga, so it's not like she was like, "Everyone off the damn set." If anything, the whole TEOG video debacle was so blown out of proportion. Kahn tweeted something to the effect of "my vision or no vision" and yet Gaga was labeled as the egomaniac. That doesn't make any sense now. Isn't there a good ol' saying that states, "If you want something done right, do it yourself?" And by "right", I mean what Gaga wanted in her heart.
She doesn't refuse to listen to her fans. BTW was created for her fans. The thing is, she doesn't breed negativity. She doesn't listen to the naysayers because she wholeheartedly loves what she does and believes in who she is. She was happy with the TEOG video and no one was gonna make her feel otherwise. That is a brave and strong-ass woman and I have no idea how you can have nothing but respect for her. What was she supposed to do, retweet "TEOG SUCKED, DIE GAGA?" No, that's not how she rolls.
I guess this is what she meant when she talked about this era testing her fans. Those who are here for her are happy and those who are here for her success aren't (not saying you're the latter :P).
P.S. "First of all, you're ugly. I hate you. TEOG sucked. You're flopping" is not constructive criticism.
P.P.S. I'm sure she gets thousands of tweets, so can we really expect her to be able to see any of the negative one? Her mentions are probably nothing but, "YOU'RE PERFECT, GAGA, WE LOVE YOU."

You can like a video and not like the song. The GP doesn't control the radio.
