The Album: </h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember the days when everyone was calling <i>ARTPOP </i>a
commercial failure? When everyone said that selling only 2,500,000* copies of the
album worldwide made it a certified flop?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to Lady Gaga’s wiki page, <i>Joanne </i>has only sold around 1,500,000* copies so far, and it’s almost been out for a year. Amazon <a href="http://www.showbiz411.com/2016/10/21/amazon-deep-discounts-lady-gagas-excellent-joanne-album-for-3-99-in-sales-panic">deeply discounted the album on launch</a> all the way down to $3.99 (only fifty cents above the minimum price to still be
eligible for the charts), and even though it hit number one, that’s definitely
not where it stayed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The album and both singles released from it sunk the minute they hit the charts. The lead single, <i>Perfect Illusion</i>, debuted at number 15 and was only in the top 100 for six weeks, and the second single, <i>Million Reasons</i>, debuted at 76, left, then only re-entered and stuck around like a bad rash because of her performance of it at this year's Super Bowl back in February. <i>The Cure </i>was then released (the song is not on <i>Joanne </i>but is featured on the <i>Joanne World Tour</i>) and was a "one-off" type of single (according to collaborator DJ White Shadow) that was announced and played for the first time at Coachella. It, too, failed miserably on the charts, debuting at 39 and then falling to 62 the following week (and then, presumably, off the face of the Earth after that).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There doesn't seem to be another single planned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The Tour: </h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
It turns out that Lady Gaga playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl, headlining Coachella,
releasing surprise singles, and partnering with several other companies (<a href="http://fortune.com/2017/08/07/lady-gaga-partners-with-verizon-for-ticket-giveaway/">Verizon</a>, <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lady-gaga-merch-is-coming-urban-outfitters-1004685">Urban Outfitters</a>, etc.) for heavy promotion and ticket giveaways still doesn’t seem to be
enough to make people care about this dud of an era.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The show itself seems to be selling about as well as any other show she has (i.e. that everyone says it's sold out but somehow there are still tickets available officially and unofficially) and the reviews seem about the same (i.e. that her fans are drooling over her, but that actual reviewers are usually not as impressed).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One reviewer from the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/06/arts/music/lady-gaga-joanne-tour-review.html">New York Times</a> said of the Tacoma show that the songs from the actual <i>Joanne</i> album itself were the "least effective" (which isn't surprising, considering what a flop the album is). So, what does that say if the new songs are what took up most of the show? There were 9 (or 10 if you count <i>The Cure</i>) songs out of 22 played from <i>Joanne. </i>(And as a side note: only one song from <i>ARTPOP</i>) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He called one song "messy," one "drowsy," one "hokey," and one "awkwardly jaunty." He said the first half of the show was "disjointed" and that her attitude and style seemed to change at "random."</div>

Later on, he goes on to say that when she sits at the piano and sings, that's when she's at her best. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course. We've been hearing that time and again since the start of her career, but it still doesn't seem to happen for more than ten or fifteen minutes in an hour and a half-long show.

She’s been gracing the cover of a few magazines: <br />

But her appearance on the show hasn’t been all fun and games. Lady Gaga had a conversation with some of the contestants on the show
that left some fans feeling heartbroken. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Says Gaga,</div>

</blockquote>
This (pretty incoherent) statement has come as a shock to
those gay fans that have been following her for years. After coming out as
bisexual to Barbara Walters way back at the beginning of her career in 2009,
and then repeating the same thing <a href="http://jezebel.com/5818237/lady-gaga-considers-herself-part-of-the-lgbt-community">over</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/31/lady-gaga-bisexuality_n_4182059.html">over</a> and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/10/lady-gaga-gay-icon_n_4241950.html">over</a> again... <br />

...she now seems to be saying that not only does she not identify as gay,
but she doesn’t consider herself “fully part” of the LGBT community at all.
<br />
<br />
Lady Gaga now calls herself an “ally” to the LGBT community,
and a “gay supporter”.<br />

her fans were dying for since they first heard the garbage that was ARTPOP: a new solo album.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br />
<img alt="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Csao6PdWEAUKb1v.jpg" class="shrinkToFit" height="320" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Csao6PdWEAUKb1v.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
The album is titled <i>Joanne</i>, after her late aunt, and what
we’ve seen so far of this album seems to be more of the same old Gaga that we
already know: overdone, messy, and directionless. In <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lady-gaga-details-new-album-joanne-w440039">her own words</a>: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
“As I returned to my home life and spending time with my friends and family and
getting out of the mainstream limelight for a minute, the experiences of our
family and our challenges that make us who we are.”
</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Umm… what?
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
The album’s lead single, <i>Perfect
Illusion</i>, has only been out a few weeks, but it’s already struggling hard to
stay on the charts. It debuted at a lukewarm #15 (even with her Little Monsters
promoting it like crazy by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/sep/07/lady-gaga-perfect-illusion-new-single-fake-twitter-fans">pretending to be a bunch of soccer moms requesting the song at every radio station they could possibly tweet at</a>)
and it’s been falling steadily ever since. </div>

Worst still, the second single off
the album, <i>Million Reasons</i>, hasn’t even gotten any airplay at all. One reviewer,
upon hearing it, simply said, “<a href="http://www.idolator.com/7647706/pop-perspective-lady-gaga-million-reasons-reviewed">This era is shaping up to be even worse than I imagined</a>.”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
I have a feeling that statement is
going to be repeated over and over again by a lot of people over the next few
months. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
With its flopping singles and weird,
cheap-looking <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dive_Bar_Tour">Dive Bar Tour</a>, the
Joanne era looks like it’s shaping up to be a disaster already.<br />
<br />
Some <a href="http://www.showbiz411.com/2016/10/14/lady-gaga-new-album-one-week-away-but-two-singles-have-failed-whats-going-on-herehttp://www.showbiz411.com/2016/10/14/lady-gaga-new-album-one-week-away-but-two-singles-have-failed-whats-going-on-herevvv">sources</a> speculate that since this is Lady Gaga’s last contractual album with
Interscope, the label isn’t bothering to do anything to help promote it, which is why the two lead singles are failing… but
that sounds, to me, like yet another excuse being made for someone whose entire career so far has
been nothing more than... well, a delusion. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Joanne will be released in just a
few days on October 21<sup>st</sup>.<br />
<br />
I would warn everyone to cover their ears,
but judging by the radio play of the first two singles so far, you probably won’t
need to bother.<br />

Kesha is facing a lengthy battle with the record company after allegedly being drugged and sexually assaulted by music producer Dr. Luke shortly after her 18th birthday. Kesha was still a virgin at the time. Apparently to this pig, rape is OK after a girl becomes legal. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If Bowie could, he'd reach down from Mars and slap Caca across the face for her Las Vegas tribute act to him at the <strike>Crappy</strike> Grammy Awards. It took me a little longer than I wanted to get around to writing this post. Mainly because I was hesitating to watch. I didn't want my mind to associate Bowie with Caca. I knew exactly what Gaga's performance was going to be like and I was right. It was not a tribute. It was an Elvis Presley-on-steroids-does-Bowie impersonation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "tribute" was more about Caca than it was about Bowie. But then again, this is Caca we're talking about so color me shocked. Instead of focusing her act on the man of honor, it was more about Caca showcasing herself. From the hair color, facial expressions, clothes, and complete with a low register, baritone voice, Caca crammed a bunch of Bowie songs into a few minutes which took away from the genius of Bowie and instead focused on her. The entire performance was ridiculous and smelled of stale cheese. Caca was more Liza Minnelli than David Bowie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of playing Halloween dress up, wouldn't it have been better if Caca picked one Bowie song and sang the hell out of it? Wouldn't it have been better if she sang it as Gaga and not as a Bowie impersonator? </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9QcnhJbwAbLGwQsUGkIQeXFHR5X6IN6lATG1PWp_Qu4Ba07jsgob0QyiV1MchNVe2TXT48YZju7g3jSvWMBAQFDdFPsExP3GsITDv-B73GGWvttVc2JQ_sNKJojoSS1k1s4OHk_0UyY/s1600/lady-gaga-tat-01-435.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9QcnhJbwAbLGwQsUGkIQeXFHR5X6IN6lATG1PWp_Qu4Ba07jsgob0QyiV1MchNVe2TXT48YZju7g3jSvWMBAQFDdFPsExP3GsITDv-B73GGWvttVc2JQ_sNKJojoSS1k1s4OHk_0UyY/s320/lady-gaga-tat-01-435.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gaga desperately wants to be regarded as Bowie-esque. The truth is that Bowie didn't really want anything to do with her. Instead of being authentic (yeah that word doesn't really pertain to Caca), Gaga's tribute was more like an overzealous fan with an identity crisis; right down to the Bowie tattoo she added to her body. I'm sure Bowie loves his new home under Caca's flapjacks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, there are no reviews of Gaga's act that will ever match up to one glorious tweet! A tweet that was birthed from worthy fingertips and came forth like a phoenix rising from the ashes, from none other than Duncan Jones, Bowie's son.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<div dir="ltr" lang="en">
"overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?</div>

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><br />
<br />
What "it" is, is the Oxford dictionary definition of gaga. Take a bow Duncan. That was brilliant.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not going to post Gaga's Vegas act here. Instead, I'm going to show you what a real tribute looks like. No bells and whistles. No clown suits or a self indulging mess. Just pure, raw talent and one quality Caca does not have, integrity. Here's none other than the late, great David Bowie, paying tribute to another legend, John Lennon.</div>

Modern art is a pile of steaming horse <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/355186/Even-experts-now-agree-modern-art-is-total-rubbish" target="_blank">shit</a> and only pretentious douche canoes think it's some monumental museum pièce de résistance worthy of reverence. Just ask Lady Gaga. She would know. If anyone made modern art even more insufferable and shitty than it already is, it's that annoying, over processed tow-head. Her attempt to make art pop...or is it pop art? Or is it art fart? Wait, isn't that something Warhol already did? Anyway, her attempt to give it credibility was entertaining at best and at worst, mocking the intelligence of us common folk with 20/20 vision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Modern art is for people whose heads are too small to contain their gigantic egos. Modern art is designed for the <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/grayson-perry-most-modern-art-is-rubbish-8829723.html" target="_blank">least artistic people</a>. Don't believe me? I'm not very artistic. I can draw a little and that's about it. I create art with my mouth every time I fling a sarcastic remark in someone's direction. But even I, a very inartistic person, is a master at modern art. It took me a whole seven minutes to put this refuse together. MOMA, get a room ready for me!</div>

Yet, people like Caca walk around thinking their shit smells like roses. People like her are the type of people that bang on a canvas, stain it with their body juice and sell it on Etsy. People like her are the type of people that are uncomfortable in situations where they are not the center of attention. People like her are the type of people that use large words to sound highly intelligent in a Palin-esque word salad that usually leaves most more confused. People like her believes that they are so special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people. People like her are the type of people that take themselves way too seriously and therefore have a grandiose sense of self-importance. And finally, people like her are usually the type of people that earn, deserve and get this type of reaction.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A miracle has happened!! Terrorists the world over have laid down their weapons. ISIS is putting a halt to all beheadings immediately. The NRA hangs their head in shame as they finally support measures of gun control. Would-be mass shooters suddenly acquired a conscience and have turned themselves in before shooting up a theater or school. All thanks to Lady Caca! Okay so not really. Apparently though, Gaga and her side-douche Taylor Kinney think that taking the world's most farcical selfie after bonking on a canvas and forcing the entire planet to retch in their afterglow is going to inspire world peace. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For reasons that are completely lost among most of the population, Caca was asked to be the guest editor for V Magazine pre-Spring issue. An issue that will cost a whopping $50.00 and completely worth it by the way (barf). All profits will go to the <strike>Scam</strike> Born This Way Foundation. Lady Xerox chose the cover to be a post-coital vomit inducing snapshot of her and side-douche Kinney. Using the most pompous and contrived word puke known to man, Caca had this to say:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">“We made love on this canvas on a Sunday in Chicago. We made love amidst chaos. We talked about shootings. We made love amidst terrorism. And we talked about how people’s hearts are also suffering all over the world as they watch and witness a swell of violence. We made love amidst violence.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br />I could not complete the covers of this issue without relinquishing one to an important cause. Taylor and I talk all the time about our unique existence on this earth. How can we use our creativity to heal people? Since we first met, Taylor’s been painting and drawing all over me. Years ago, when we were secretly living in San Diego and crashing on the floor of a beach shack, we never wore shoes. He told me he wanted to make love to me on a canvas. And though he made many murals on my body in the wee, small hours of our stoked, gypsy mornings with our friends, for whatever reason we never got around to it.”</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What? Shut up. Unique existence? I don't have enough eyes to roll at this schmaltzy babble that's completely bereft of authenticity. Have you ever seen two people so lost in their narcissism that they couldn't find their ass if you gave them a map? Caca is the most contrived, phony, pseudo specimen to come out of the rat's nest since Milli Vanilli and we're quite possibly watching the longest episode of <a href="http://www.channel4.com/programmes/faking-it" target="_blank">Faking It</a>. </div>

<br />
While it may have started off strong, the ratings have been going down, down, down the past few weeks. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<b>By the numbers:</b>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Week 1 – 5.807 million viewers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Week 2 – 4.061 million viewers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Week 4 – 3.045 million viewers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Week 5 – 2.867 million viewers </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
It looks like a pretty steady decline... but that's not all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
According to <a href="http://headlineplanet.com/home/2015/11/05/ratings-fxs-american-horror-story-hotel-falls-again-weakest-5th-episode-yet/">Headline Planet</a>,
it seems that this has been the lowest rated ‘episode 5’ of any of the previous seasons of the show. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Season 1 (Episode 5) – 2.745 million
viewers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Season 2 (Episode 5) – 2.779 million
viewers </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Season 3 (Episode 5) – 3.799 million
viewers </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
Season 4 (Episode 5) – 4.220 million
viewers<br />
<b>Season 5 </b>(Episode 5)<b> – 2.867 million viewers</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br />
Notice how every season saw an increase in viewership for episode five <b>except this one</b>?<br />
<br />
It’ll be interesting to see where this
ends up going, especially since Gaga’s been nominated for a People’s Choice
Award (<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actress)</span> for her role in the show.

<br />
It's a great cause... no doubt about that. But there's one thing I just can't forget. Something that Lady Gaga and her fans would probably love to keep swept under the rug.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaHhC6AELtPCduywtoia-ukWntOoRgEXByEU5SjJHf3DBXETZy4OE-Nz-BcYTHHEF02wMMeRvA46hF5OflGV5xyCSNWO1ANW8QN2o85JR5oFfpc3B_l4mMjrF3SeT4eJ7553oSh_0LLA11/s1600/dwu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaHhC6AELtPCduywtoia-ukWntOoRgEXByEU5SjJHf3DBXETZy4OE-Nz-BcYTHHEF02wMMeRvA46hF5OflGV5xyCSNWO1ANW8QN2o85JR5oFfpc3B_l4mMjrF3SeT4eJ7553oSh_0LLA11/s320/dwu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Just over a year ago, Lady Gaga wrote/created/filmed a music video for the second (out of three) official singles released from her third album, ARTPOP, which ultimately ended up getting cancelled. Probably for the best that it did, since many people were calling the video <a href="http://pagesix.com/2014/06/19/lady-gaga-scrapped-r-kelly-duet-video-after-controversies/">"literally an ad for rape"</a>.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://pagesix.com/2014/06/19/lady-gaga-scrapped-r-kelly-duet-video-after-controversies/">Page Six</a> (and <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/lady-gaga-pulled-her-do-what-u-want-music-video-with-r-kelly-why-2014196">US Weekly</a>, and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/19/r-kelly-lady-gaga-do-what-u-want-video_n_5511357.html">The Huffington Post</a>, and many, MANY other sources), the video, directed by one alleged sexual predator and co-starring another, had scenes with a naked, unconscious Lady Gaga, who had scantily-clad dancers writhing on top of her, scenes of her touching herself and being touched...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOpNlVxTKOl-q1AzWiUce_sl8jZzN36iam2pzqnvS6M5s8yhBXXNRL-VL443qo8HzVnWnsGjK8OKgwT3iNk0B0erZq1LpvwoeBzpQWmiDyMEgLulESeWzYzmxbXoi2l3onoh0of2pyqjI/s1600/gd.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOpNlVxTKOl-q1AzWiUce_sl8jZzN36iam2pzqnvS6M5s8yhBXXNRL-VL443qo8HzVnWnsGjK8OKgwT3iNk0B0erZq1LpvwoeBzpQWmiDyMEgLulESeWzYzmxbXoi2l3onoh0of2pyqjI/s640/gd.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...and creepy lines by R. Kelly like, "I’m putting you under, and when you wake up, you’re going to be pregnant," and when she asks him if she'll ever walk again (referring to the hip injury she had to cancel her Born This Way Ball Tour over), he says, "Yes, if you let me do whatever I want with your body." <br />
<br />

<br />
GROSS.<br />
<br />
"But wait," some of you may be saying. "Maybe she didn't write it."<br />
<br />
Well, she released a statement herself, in her own words, on her own social networking site, saying that she did, when she apologized to her fans for it being late.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it."</blockquote>
"<b>I</b>" was given a week to plan and execute it. "<b>I</b>" was. Not "my team", not "my team and I"... "<b>I was</b>". So yes, she did write it herself. <br />
<br />
"At least she scrapped it before it was released, knowing how bad it was," you may then say. <br />
<br />
NOPE! <br />
<br />
She scrapped it because, <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/lady-gaga-pulled-her-do-what-u-want-music-video-with-r-kelly-why-2014196">according to a source at US Weekly</a>, <i>she just didn't like the finished product</i>. The source states, "Everybody at the label actually loved it and it was NOT pulled because of Richardson and R. Kelly." And, "The truth is, Gaga herself didn't like it. She didn't love how it turned out and wouldn't let the label release it."<br />
<br />
So, the next time someone in the media wants to call Gaga a "hero" or some other nonsense for standing up for victims of sexual assault, remind them what she was doing just over a year ago.<br />
<br />
Oh, and P.S.<br />
<br />

<br />
Another day, another bunch of bull coming out of Lady Gaga's mouth.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3203895/Lady-Gaga-dons-wedding-dress-edgy-new-photoshoot.html">According to the Daily Mail</a>, Lady Gaga's managed to get another magazine cover (somehow). She did an interview with them (CR Fashion Book) and actually said the following, presumably with a straight face:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"As a 29-year-old girl, at this stage in my pop career everybody goes, "Oh she's getting old," and everybody's so worried about having a perfect body, a perfect face, and perfect hair."</blockquote>
Have you ever seen one single article where anyone has ever said that about a 29-year old? Especially Gaga? Because I sure haven't. I guess this is one of those imaginary injustices she's always being subjected to, the poor thing. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"When, you know, actually, legacy and longevity is about having some sort of story and footprint to leave in the world when you die, chasing your talent until you're dead. And that, as an artist, you love your art 'til death."</blockquote>
Get it? She's more concerned with her music and her art than her looks? Sounds like another example of Gaga trying to convince us how much "deeper" she is than her peers. The real question is: why does she feel the need to drag others down?<br />
<blockquote>
"It's the antithesis of what I was taught growing up, which is that at this age I would have to fight in order to continue to look young, in order to continue to be trendy. When, you know, I never was trendy. <b>I was always anti-trend</b>."</blockquote>
A reminder of what Lady Gaga looked like in high school:<br />

...despite the fact that Billboard, as well as several other major music news websites and blogs, have picked up the story and linked directly to her page.<br />
<br />
What could this mean? Is Instagram simply not the best platform for a major announcement like an album, or are people just over her? Could people have been turned off so much by ARTPOP that they don't want to bother with LG5?<br />
<br />
People really seem to be hoping for a pop sound after this little jazz era of hers... but with Gaga, who knows what she has planned.<br />
<br />
Are YOU curious about her new sound?<br />

<a href="http://www.demorgen.be/muziek/speelt-lady-gaga-straks-voor-een-lege-zaal-op-gent-jazz-a2390773/">This article</a>, when translated into English, wondered if the show was going to be "empty" since tickets had been on sale for over eight months and still weren't sold out by the time the article was published (on the tenth of July, so two days before the show).<br />
<br />
Excuses being given for the poor ticket sales were: that the ticket prices were high (100 euro), that Werchter (Rock Festival) took place only a week before, that there was too much competition since there were free shows going on at the time as well, that Lady Gaga's fans wouldn't want to sit through a jazz show, and that Tony Bennett's fans wouldn't want to sit through a pop show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I don't know if it ended up selling out or not (though I have a guess), but <a href="http://focus.knack.be/entertainment/muziek/concertverslagen/tony-bennett-lady-gaga-op-gent-jazz-acht-jurken-en-een-oude-zanger/article-review-586597.html">this review</a> gives the show a modest 3/5 stars.<br />
<br />
Translated, the article asks, "did we get a good jazz show?"<br />
<br />
They answer their own question with a straight "<b>no</b>".<br />
<br />
Instead of jazz, they say they were presented with a "musical". They enjoyed Bennett's performance the whole way through, but only liked Gaga some of the time. Complaints were mostly about her belting when she didn't need to be, and about how the jazz bands playing with them, while talented, were basically forced to play a "Disney version" of the songs. <br />
<br />
I guess this show was more of the same old thing that we've come to expect from Lady Gaga nowadays: hyped up mediocrity.<br />

Little did Mother Moron know that the Pride Parade route was actually several miles north of there in a different neighborhood, well out of view of her balcony.<br />

She played a <strike>boring</strike> rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" on a piano covered with flowers.<br />
<br />
Apparently, she hid out in a hotel for days to keep her presence at the Games a secret. Some sources say she faced criticism from her fans for showing up to this event at all, because of Azerbaijan's human rights record, but I have seen zero backlash or criticism of her performance anywhere. I'd ask if this was an example of media manipulation, but it doesn't seem like anyone's talking about this performance at all, good <i>or</i> bad. <br />
<br />
In fact, Lady Gaga posted about it herself on Instagram, and that post got <b>73,000 less likes</b> than a photo Miley Cyrus took of an avocado.<br />

If that doesn't say something about Lady Gaga's current status as a pop star, I don't know what will. <br />

OMG!!!).<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjxSDfGpd05m_zH1KJU_ouWXSOPYb_3fUV1iEw3dFzf-cl8oLLcSv_v3kQRZlrgjmb_hHH5q1bAiRNxdWsudu4gdPTRZVHpHrAnN8gNF6PiCJAviFceNEqL3W063QWI6_92YACTnSwKg_/s320/tsww.bmp" width="314" /><br />
<br />
Maybe she's still not getting enough attention from all of that, because now there's a news of a new song leak... And by new song, I mean old song. "Partynauseous", which she recorded with Kendrick Lamar in 2012, <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/2109309/kendrick-lamar-and-lady-gagas-unreleased-partynauseous-track-gets-leaked/">has just leaked</a> online - and what great timing!<br />
<br />
Taylor Swift just released her highly anticipated video for "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar, and in only four days it's already gotten almost <b>41 million</b> views.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0E6iqwSGbq9Qm_8VKuRLg8TSDYrSTG7y8czt-rWCK3hTIS6JO5RCrWRie7S_-85MvCzOMoJ7e37Ads4VNiMCpOh99Bh5lcwjwnKCh249al2yQqTpGWS1ICXDXmIMCATVnUTa0C7QGMHd/s1600/tsw.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0E6iqwSGbq9Qm_8VKuRLg8TSDYrSTG7y8czt-rWCK3hTIS6JO5RCrWRie7S_-85MvCzOMoJ7e37Ads4VNiMCpOh99Bh5lcwjwnKCh249al2yQqTpGWS1ICXDXmIMCATVnUTa0C7QGMHd/s640/tsw.bmp" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To put this in perspective, Lady Gaga's last single (G.U.Y.) has ~<b>66 million</b> views and it's been out for over a year now.<br />
<br />
She's also been dropping hints about a new album:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9UtxOxnqTb6QadtL8h5tAgnopWBCOzqZ7qQIqAUJMkXrBN2yXUFW31BUt4y3gTzF-nwwnvYEgZmvvkR0rMkfuEn9s-Zkm4bS3NmQgVNZ-A4zJYMWKTxlOMu_3qLe9UYJ_j42xFkll_9O/s1600/gat.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9UtxOxnqTb6QadtL8h5tAgnopWBCOzqZ7qQIqAUJMkXrBN2yXUFW31BUt4y3gTzF-nwwnvYEgZmvvkR0rMkfuEn9s-Zkm4bS3NmQgVNZ-A4zJYMWKTxlOMu_3qLe9UYJ_j42xFkll_9O/s640/gat.bmp" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Could "Partynauseous" have been leaked on purpose to try and gain something from Lamar's recent success? Is Lady Gaga trying to ride Taylor's coattails to get some press? Or was it just a coincidence? A perfectly timed coincidence?<br />

<br />
The caption read, "<b>Girls night out.......... Kissing the Ring........Finally</b>"<br />
<br />
The picture was then reposted by Katy Perry with the caption, "<span data-reactid=".5.0.1.0.1.0.0.1.0.0.0:0.1.2:1.$text0:0:$text0:0"><b>dropping our single tomorrow</b>" and the hashtag<b> #MONSTERCATREBELHEARTS</b>, and Lady Gaga rep</span>osted it as well with the caption, "<b>Breaking Hearts</b>".<br />
<br />

<br />
The caption for this one read, "<b>Looking to the Future!! So much fun last night!</b>"<br />
<br />
The pictures and captions, along with one of Lady Gaga's previously deleted tweets ("High heels on the dash, breaking hearts and burning cash"), have led to some speculation that the three ladies may be <a href="http://www.breatheheavy.com/lady-gaga-madonna-katy-perry-might-release-a-song-together-breaking-hearts/">planning to release a single together</a>.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Could there be a collaboration in the future? Or did Katy, Madonna, and Gaga just happen to take a couple of pictures together?<br />

<br />
While shopping for music for <i>The Amazing Spider-Man 2 </i>soundtrack, Rihanna, Lorde, Ellie Goulding, and a duet between Alicia Keys and Pharrell were considered... but guess who wasn't?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcwh-TMYDk-CFDV3JVIZbqhLRfP3w6Q_LAGnscRA62kJar93z5p_OZlCunIEIHAxW-Mv3fTtVFRXye6Wkf4_-oBRCkUr8d7OUuPLwM74qPiqTBnM272wrIjHG7ccIFij4_icj0sDjkyqW/s1600/ga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcwh-TMYDk-CFDV3JVIZbqhLRfP3w6Q_LAGnscRA62kJar93z5p_OZlCunIEIHAxW-Mv3fTtVFRXye6Wkf4_-oBRCkUr8d7OUuPLwM74qPiqTBnM272wrIjHG7ccIFij4_icj0sDjkyqW/s1600/ga.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
That's right... Lady Gaga!<br />
<br />
In fact, she was dismissed before she was even suggested!<br />
<br />
The emails, which can be found linked <a href="http://www.idolator.com/7589498/sony-email-leaks-lady-gaga-lame-spider-man-rita-ora-nobody">here</a>, state that Rihanna was "not interested", but that Ellie Goulding was liked, that Lorde was "cool", and the Alicia Keys/Pharrell duet would be "cool" too, but just "not right for Spidey".<br />
<br />
So what did they say about Gaga? That she was "too lame"!<br />
<br />
More specifically, the email said:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b> "I think gaga might be too lame after die antwoord made fun of [her] in [their] video."</b></blockquote>
She's talking about the song/video "Fatty Boom Boom" where Die Antwoord mocks Gaga by having a lookalike of her get mutilated by a lion (among other things). If you haven't seen the video, here it is again:<br />
<br />

<br />
Remember that drama? Where Gaga defended herself by saying, "At least I'm popular?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Because that's something that someone that was a victim of <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1081468/lady-gagas-moms-essay-about-gagas-childhood-bullying">"childhood torture" and "bullying"</a> would say, right? That's something that someone that <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1081468/lady-gagas-moms-essay-about-gagas-childhood-bullying">started a foundation to stop bullying</a> would say, right?<br />
<br />
Anyway, that happened in October 2012 - smack dab in the middle of her Born This Way Ball concert tour. You know, the one that got cancelled halfway through because of a "labral tear" in her hip that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/30/lady-gaga-hip-injury_n_3675972.html">ended up being a secret broken hip</a> that somehow no one on the staff knew about?<br />
<br />
Maybe the people at Sony haven't been into her since then. And who could blame them? <br />
<br />
There are some rumors flying around that Gaga will be voicing Betty Boop in an upcoming film (as well as providing music for it) <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/lady-gaga-will-voice-betty-boop-in-upcoming-film-reboot-2015-4?op=1">but those rumors are said to be <b>untrue</b></a>. There may be a Betty Boop film in the future, but <b>Gaga is not involved</b> and Sony will not be either. <br />
<br />
Oh well! Guess we'll just have to settle for seeing Gaga on American Horror Story! <br />

<br />
The
singer has received some controversy lately for an explosive rant
directed towards Joe Irvine, an <i>X Factor New Zealand</i> contestant,
accusing him of having “no value or respect for originality”, saying
that he’s a “laughingstock”, and so on, because in her mind, he was
ripping off her husband, Willy Moon.<br />
<br />
The rant is here, if you can stomach that nonsense again:<br />

<br /></div>
The couple has been <a href="http://popcrush.com/natalia-kills-willy-moon-fired-x-factor-bullying-joe-irvine/">fired from the show</a>, they’ve both <a href="http://popdust.com/2015/03/19/natalia-kills-x-factor-apology/">publicly apologized</a>, and they both seem to sincerely want to move on from the incident.
I’m sure their careers do too. However, it looks like the general public is not
ready to let that happen so soon.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Kills has revealed that she (along with her husband) have
been victims of some pretty brutal bullying on Twitter. She’s re-posted a few
of the tweets on her own Twitter account, <a href="https://twitter.com/NataliaKills/status/586365188275773441">but it seems the hate was too extreme for Instagram</a>, which did not allow such photos/comments/whatever to be
re-posted on their site. By reading some of the comments on <a href="https://twitter.com/NataliaKills">her Twitter</a>, it's not hard to see why. </div>

It's
nice to see how Lady Gaga's message of love and tolerance is being
spread throughout the world, especially in her Little Monster kingdom. And his use of the word "flop" is pretty laughable too, considering who he's got on his profile picture.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I doubt Lady Gaga herself will actually get dragged into this, but it's interesting to see how much of an impact her anti-bullying messages are having on her own fans, even after all these years.<br />
<br />
Lady Gaga has <a href="http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/145458/Drake-Bell-Slams-Justin-Bieber-Lady-Gaga-And-Ariana-Grande-For-Awful-Message-To-Their-Fans">excused her fans' vicious behaviour before</a> - like when they are coming to her aid - but what about in situations like these? She's not involved. She's not being attacked. They're not defending her. They're just being downright nasty. And for what? There's no reason to send a message like this to someone, unless your goal is to hurt them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
I'm not saying Kills and her husband are innocent here, far from it. But are these disgusting tweets really called for?<br />
<br />
Does Lady Gaga have a responsibility to say something when something like this comes up?<br />
<br />
What do you all think?<br />

<br />
<strike>Fashion Queen</strike> Lady Gaga was featured on <a href="http://peopleofwalmart.com/sparkle">People of Walmart</a> (of all places) last week, looking a straight up mess.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwLsEWF3isjKNYxaqPNxXkpDEfKqHCGyLWoOjdj0Ii3L8RiK4mQvsCGgGTQuSt6Why0yh0R9gVrtedHEExRyBdTUCYpkXuukfUKOLLZRbJg-yP9FrHLTihM07KS5R-wy6UH-hXYn1Z8Yw/s1600/gag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwLsEWF3isjKNYxaqPNxXkpDEfKqHCGyLWoOjdj0Ii3L8RiK4mQvsCGgGTQuSt6Why0yh0R9gVrtedHEExRyBdTUCYpkXuukfUKOLLZRbJg-yP9FrHLTihM07KS5R-wy6UH-hXYn1Z8Yw/s1600/gag.jpg" height="640" width="441" /></a></div>

The caption that went along with it: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"What the shit? I try not to blame things on celebrities but if this
sparkling creature isn’t a direct result of Lady Gaga I don’t know what
she is. You want to embrace your weird, whatever, good for you. But how
’bout we do it with pants on?"</blockquote>
I can only imagine what her fashionista friends thought about this one. And the best part? The People of Walmart writer didn't even know this was <i>actually </i>Lady Gaga. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
By Miss Stef<br />
<br />
American Horror Story's super star, actress Jessica Lange used that super smart noggin' of hers when she decided to hit the high road and announce her departure from the hit T.V. series. Incidentally, that came at pretty much the exact time Horror Story executives announced that Lady Gaga would be joining the show's 'Hotel' season. Obviously they haven't seen the Marry The Night video because if they did, I'm sure they would rethink their shitty casting choices. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica Lange appeared on stage at the Paley Center for Media's annual PaleyFest with the rest of the cast when she was asked if Caca convinced her to stay for another season, she gave the most c*nty yet brilliantly classy response. Gaga better stock up on some bandages because the daggers thrown here are enough to cut her in half.</div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3R-vy_9R190" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If there was ever a more special moment to feel massively embarrassed for Gaga getting her pie-in-the-face moment, this is it. Other cast members are heard off camera put the cherry on top when they yelled "fire! fire!fire!" and no doubt they feel the same way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of sticking around for another season of pay checks, Queen Dame Jessica Lange chose her artistic integrity and decided that her career is too dignified to share a stage with the Queen of Caca. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a perfect time to remind you of Akon's interview on Sway's Universe when he discussed "cashing out" before the ship sunk like ten Titanics. Skip to 3:45.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_3Y76GvIDe4" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
With Lady Titanic bringing her sorry excuse for acting skills to the television screen and story executives for making a colossal bad casting move, American Horror Story has only one way to go.......down.</div>

<br />
My guess is that after six or so years, people are tired of seeing her prance around in Halloween costumes, growling and crawling around on stage to try and be "artistic", and just want to hear her sing.<br />

<br />
Not everyone loved her performance though, and legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim is one such person. <a href="http://www.newnownext.com/stephen-sondheim-blasts-lady-gagas-sound-of-music-performance-it-was-a-travesty/03/2015/">He said of her performance</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"On the Academy Awards she was a <b>travesty</b>." </blockquote>
And... <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It was ridiculous, as it would be from any singer who treats that music
in semi-operatic style.<b> She had no relationship to what she
was singing</b>. What people liked was her versatility." </blockquote>
<br />
Ouch! And here I thought she was supposed to be a <strike>jazz </strike>musical theater expert? <br />
<br />
What did <i>you </i>think of her performance? Do you think people only enjoyed it because it was unexpected coming from her? Or do you think she did a good job?<br />

<br />
Spotify has released a list of the most streamed female artists worldwide and divided the list by gender. It turns out that among women, Beyoncé is the most streamed, and among men, it's Katy Perry!<br />
<br />
The lady that takes the cake, cake, cake, cake though is Rihanna, who was named the most streamed woman of all time worldwide for the third year in a row. <br />
<br />
Here's a <a href="http://www.musictimes.com/articles/30802/20150306/rihanna-beyonc%C3%A9-katy-perry-most-popular-female-artists-spotify-taylor-swift.htm">source for the info</a> and here are the lists:<br />

What I found particularly interesting was that Lady Gaga was not even in the top ten of the All-Time Most Streamed Female Artists in the U.S. She doesn't even appear in the top ten for women listeners, and among men, she's last on the list. Here are the lists with U.S. data:<br />

<br />
Beck spewed out <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/24/glenn-beck-lady-gaga-oscar-performance_n_6745118.html">FOUR minutes of verbal vomit</a> about Gaga on his radio show, calling her a "master craftswoman", a "genius", that she's "the way artists should be", and blah, blah, blah... and of course, Gaga got wind of it and retweeted his "review" along with a link to his site:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfHr1pA7d7O2HGYsEzHWxNP3U98G0x1sutztFQJLAUTmfZOjxDGuzpmCxTpWLJW9pPUGB9vSJgqwxBjbxdPXCMEbaFXnG5FqnQ_p5nUe2gM_r8Dk5nPjRAEXazJbtN3UDHtU_10aYfVKV/s1600/tweet.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfHr1pA7d7O2HGYsEzHWxNP3U98G0x1sutztFQJLAUTmfZOjxDGuzpmCxTpWLJW9pPUGB9vSJgqwxBjbxdPXCMEbaFXnG5FqnQ_p5nUe2gM_r8Dk5nPjRAEXazJbtN3UDHtU_10aYfVKV/s1600/tweet.bmp" height="124" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Can we just step back for a minute and see why this is such a big deal?<br />
<br />
Glenn Beck, for those who don't know, is a self-described "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck#Political_views">conservative with libertarian leanings</a>", and although he says he <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/02/glenn-beck-russia_n_4531744.html">supports same-sex marriage and LGBT rights</a>, he also thinks that <i>anti-discrimination laws are a bad thing</i>.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://www.salon.com/2014/02/26/glenn_beck_supports_anti_gay_arizona_law_because_freedom_is_ugly/">this source</a>, when asked about a hypothetical shop owner refusing to serve someone in the LGBT community, he argues that "it's their right" to, and that aside from emergency services, anyone should be able to refuse to serve someone else based on their sexuality, ethnicity, religion, or race.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Anybody who says you want to talk about rights, you must stand for the
person on both sides. This is, ‘I have a right to get a cake from <em>a</em> bakery, not this <em>specific</em> bakery, but <em>a </em>bakery.
Bakeries have a right to make cakes for homosexual couples getting
married, period, and this particular bakery has a right to say, ‘I’m not
gonna make it.’ That’s how rights work."</blockquote>
Oh wow! So in Beck's world, unless you're bleeding to death, the whole world can tell you to GTFO just because they don't like the fact that you're gay or of a different religion than they are. <br /><b><br /> Is Lady Gaga really so desperate for praise that she'll retweet and promote <i>anyone </i>who kisses her ass? </b><br />
<br />
She's an activist for gay rights, and claims to be bisexual herself, yet she's fine with linking/promoting someone who thinks it's okay to slam the door right in a person's face just because they're gay. <br />
<br />
But it's all about the clicks, right Gaga?<br />
<br />
Bet she'd change her tune pretty quickly if she found out people were being turned away from buying her flop albums or smelly perfumes. <br />
