No need to feel bad for ha. She's the most powerful pop star in the world according to GWR. Thanks for thinking of ha tho 
OT: I'm happy she's finally happy making music again. You can see it in her face. She's way more happier now

I'm sorry but this was so cringe-worthy. She just does not seem genuine.

She's definitely not a very confident person. At the end of every album campaign there's always something that went wrong,someone who was trying to stop her,she didn't feel good about the music,and all this other "excuses" for things even when they're not that big of a deal. I think she really needs to get a slap in the cheek in order for her to organize her self-esteem,her talents and her plans for music.

I honestly don't think Gaga will see the fame and praise she saw with TFM unless she comes back and reinvents herself in a more palatable way for the GP. Gaga is relying on a niche market and that won't hold your place in the new pop genre. She is where she is because of the fans she had. They are keeping her relevant at this point. Gaga is going to have to find a way to hold on to her current fans yet make NEW ones at the same time. I hope this isn't a one time wonder situation for her. For longevity, she's going to have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan.

I don't know why she isn't more honest with her feelings. I don't know why she is constantly, con-stant-ly blaming everyone in the world for the way she feels, for the way she performs, for everything.

She didn't blame anyone for her material this time, she blamed them for her emotional state. I really don't know what you're talking about because she COMPLETELY owns up to her own musical output and her own creative contributions, and in this she very explicitly recognizes that it's not as successful or as GP-appealing as TFM. It show's she's pretty damn aware of the actual situation at hand. She IS honest with her feelings - she feels that this is her best record, she understands it's not her biggest success and that some people disagree with her, and she feels that some industry bastards were jackasses to her in a way that's actually rather separate from this album. She didn't blame anyone but herself for her music or the way she performs or her "art" and it shouldn't be frustrating to you. If it's frustrating, disconnect and step away from her, because at this point we all know she's only going to return to her TFM image, style, and success if she damn well wants to do so.

Well we really don't know the details of what happened behind the scenes with her manager. Gaga has been in this business for a while now, she's used to her bosses telling her to do things she would rather not do to maintain success, so I don't think its that simple. For what she's hinted at, it sounds like there were people that she thought cared about her, but she realized they only cared about how much money she could make them, and that probably hurt her.

Gaga is my girl, but I really need her to just get it together. It's sad that she basically gave up after artpop. I'm getting the vibe that she felt like she was going to be on top forever. but that rarely happens. Her firing people that help get her success is a big part of the downfall .Maybe her management didn't have her best interest or maybe she thought she knew everything and ditch them. Who knows. But I hope that she is in a better place now and can get back to slaying like she used to.

If she is something, she is confident. In herself and in her work, ALWAYS. And don't you think it's understandable that people are always trying to stop her because she has ideas that are not easily marketable and that is what is hard when dealing with her.
She seems very happy now and in a good place so she might be headed in the right direction.

I think C2C is going to be really great for her. She's stepping out of the cutthroat pop world for a little bit, just showing off her vocal chops going back to her roots with jazz, alongside an artist she has made great friends with.......there won't be drama or expectations, she's just doing what she loves. Hopefully its therapeutic for her so the next Pop era goes more smoothly.

Not you still believing that fake ass rumour
When she says "controversial" she means people either loved ARTPOP or hated it.

I get what she is getting at, hints why I never will fight an artist. Its like when you make something whether ti be a poem or a picture and you share it with people but to you, you think its really great but to others its just alright or not good, that stings. Its not that other people don't like it but more so you love it so much, you don't understand how others can't like it.

I don't think she really "gave up" and that was it, she seems like she went into a sort of depression midway through the era and wanted to give up (when she went on that media blackout for a while), but it seems like she got some confidence back and realized it was all good. She made a fantastic video for G.U.Y., she didn't seem to be that concerned with its commercial performance, and she seems to be having a great time on tour.

I think she became way too obsessed with fame and got really pretentious (all those tweets how she will slay everyone with ARTPOP era etc) only to have that backfire on her, which caused this depression.

How so, she literally says she's aware that ARTPOP didn't live up to the expectations but she's ok with it, she's still happy with the record?

Especially when she was so sure Katy, who I'm sure she didn't view as her peer, was so much more recived than she was by the GP. I really think Gaga went into shock then depression.
