Lady Gaga Confirms New Album in 2012

So Lady Rush Job is releasing a new album this year.  After the miserable failure that is Born This Way and her constant procrastination to release the dates of the 0.99 Cent Ball Tour Born This Way Ball Tour, Stefani decides to put out an album.  Her insecurity, enormous ego and insatiable need for attention and the spotlight is causing her to make rash decisions like releasing a CD so quickly after releasing the album of the decade and probably cannot handle the fact that Madonna is releasing her follow up to Hard Candy this year as well.

Stefani says:

"I just want to keep going. I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed. I just want to keep writing music. I'm looking forward to putting out another album and going on tour."

So what's the process? Rushing out a bunch of songs this soon that will under perform?  You know what happens when you don't take your time to do the work properly?  You do a half ass'd job.  I really don't care for Stefani and I'm grinning that her recent singles failed to make any real impact but damn it, can someone sit this girl down and tell her she's going about this all wrong.  Stefani caught the brass ring!  She's got fans, fame, money and got that elusive big break so many artists can only dream of and she's burying it in the ground by her own doing. 

An anonymous commenter posted this on the Interscope Drops Marry The Night post:

A little insider news: She was supposed to go into pre-production rehearsals for the Born This Way tour on 1-23-12. Now the dates have been pushed backed into "late" February. Now one may say "big deal", but it's a big deal. A couple of things may be at play: The accountants are adding up the estimates for advanced ticket sales and the prospects don't look good; not enough funds to finance the new tour; she's wasting time again by making last minute changes that are expensive and time-consuming to carry out; her health is not good. I personally favor the last. Her last two public performances have her looking pale, anemic and not connecting with herself or her audience. Plus, she's busy right now with her Ivy League, jock boyfriend (yes Little Monster's, your mother likes to date the same jocks that bully you everyday in school.) 

I'm dying to know where you got this insider info!  It makes perfect sense as to why she's releasing a new CD now.   No doubt Interscope is not happy with how Born This Way is faring and are probably extremely concerned with the figure projection with the follow up tour. 

And if I were Madonna, I run the bitch over for trying to cut my grass.

On the Charts: Adele Ruled a Dismal Year for Record Sales

By Steve Knopper

WINNER OF THE (LAST) YEAR: No guessing necessary: Adele. Her final U.S. album sales tally, according to today's year-end Nielsen Soundscan data, was 5.82 million. That dwarfs the best-selling album of 2010, Eminem's Recovery, by more than 2.8 million – and helps explain why, for the first time since 2004, record sales actually increased by 1 percent. Beyond Adele's 21, though, things were a bit thin. Number Two was Michael Bublé's Christmas, at 2.45 million, which would have ranked just Number Five had it come out the previous year. After that was Lady Gaga's Born This Way, which seems like a blockbuster at 2.1 million but needed an Amazon MP3 discount of $1.99 to move several hundred thousand copies in its first week. LMFAO, the year's dominant single-seller, finished second to the Adele juggernaut with 5.47 million copies of "Party Rock Anthem," compared to 5.81 million of "Rolling in the Deep." (Interestingly, Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" didn't make the Top Five.)

Interscope Drops Marry The Night

The recent hit flop single ‘Marry the Night’ has just been recently dropped from being played on radio stations across the world due to the unsuccessful charting debuts it’s had. ‘Marry the Night’ hadn’t charted in the Top 10 and debuted low in all charts, and being #15 in the UK’s Big Top 40 Charts, the highest it has been.

Many companies such as iTunes and Amazon have been recently dropping the prices all over the world to try and help boost sales, but this just simply didn’t work out. Additionally, MTN Request Days were also planned by Monsters on Twitter to try and get a free promotion for Lady Gaga, but this again simply didn’t help to boost them as much as possible. 

With the amazing linear 14 minute video and the sensational sounds of Marry the Night, it will always be an iconic track from Gaga’s latest album, ‘Born This Way’!       YEAH RIGHT!!!

Ripping Off or Sampling?

Stefani released a song from The Fame era as a gift to her monsters for Christmas.  The song is called Take You Out. To my utter dismay, I mean, how can it be that the song sounds almost exactly like Kool & The Gang's Let's Go Dancing? 

Some monsters are saying that the song is sampled.  I'm not so sure.  It's pretty identical for it to be just sampling.

Now that I think of it, Stefani also released another song at Christmas called Stuck on Fuckin' You.  I gave it a listen and thought where have I heard this before?  Oh, I know, KT Tunstall's Black Horse and a Cherry Tree.  Stefani's song is a slowed down version and there's a part in the song where I could swear it was Courtney Love adding her vocals. 

Thanks Pike for sending this to me. 

Oh wait!!  I forgot about this one.

I guess that's two in the bag for Kool & The Gang. 

Loser

This person deserves to be made fun of.

Let's Talk About Gaga's Mess of a Performance on New Year's Eve

What should have happened is Dick Clark shoves her inside the Times Square ball and at the stroke of midnight, they blast her up into the stratosphere and right out of the music industry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

7. Lady Gaga
Born This Way

This turkey opens with “Marry the Night” (in which Gaga calls herself a “warrior princess” (SIC)*, presumably with a straight face) and only gets more ridiculous from there. Gaga has little sense of originality and so the regurgitated dance beats from previous chart hits and words from the Island of Misfit Lyrics are hardly a surprise, though they certainly are grating. The Cher retread title song wouldn’t be so offensive if it were, say, used as background music in a shampoo commercial and not passed off as real music, the way that you’ll take free samples of budget pizza at the grocery store but would never actually buy it yourself. The patchwork lyrics and styles are further examples of an artist who tries to be all things to everyone, whether on the torpid, turgid Madonna rip-off “Bloody Mary”, “Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)”, or the plain stupid “Heavy Metal Lover”. All this would be much easier to take if she had named herself Lady Dada as the absurdity, the sheer mindlessness of her music, would be easier to take. Painfully disposable.
