Lady Gaga and Troy Carter are over. The reason is “creative differences.” Carter literally created Gaga’s career in 2007, got her her deal at Interscope, and helped hatch her from that egg she appears in. I am told by friends that Carter was cut out of the ARTPop campaign. and that Gaga has refused advice. This all culminated in last night’s train wreck of an appearance at the YouTube Awards. Millions of people tuned out as Gaga appeared in darkness singing a terrible ballad called “Dope.” It’s one of three songs on ARTPop with references to drugs, not smart for her young audience. As well, Gaga apparently left a couple of what I’m told were “great” songs off ARTPop that could have been hits. (One of them was a song I featured here a few months ago, a duet with Cher.) But this what happens when a “star” believes they are too big to take guidance. What a shame. Carter manages John Legend and other artists, so he will be fine.
Applause barely getting performances, DWUW being payed dust, the second single situation, it all makes sense now, she must have been in charge for a while.

But this is what happens when a “star” believes they are too big to take guidance. What a shame. Carter manages John Legend and other artists, so he will be fine. Gaga, however, has problems on the horizon. Last night’s outing was a nightmare. She cried and carried on, and even her most fanatic fans didn’t know what was going on. “ARTPop” is released in one week– November 11th. It’s had a flurry of leaked singles but no focus or direction. Remember how clear the “Born this Way” campaign was? “ARTPop” is all over the place. And that may be reflected in its initial sales.
everything seemed on point when DWUW was announced as a 2nd single, since then it feels as if no one is having any plans. Its been only two weeks, I know, but why on eart does this feel as so unplanned and tacky? are they playing it by ear?

What a stupid article. Good for Gaga. I'd rather have my own ideas and music shown than have the excessive promo over something that wasn't my creation.
