Lady GaGa: “Born This Way Was A Test”

Published: Wednesday 29th Aug 2012 by David

Despite its positive intent, Lady GaGa‘s 2011 effort ‘Born This Way’ wasn’t as well received by some of the singer’s fans as it was from others.

Ironically, though boasting groundbreaking production from Hip Hop producer DJ White Shadow, the LP failed to live up to the response garnered by its older sisters, ‘Fame‘ and ‘The Fame Monster’, billed as ‘overproduced’ and pretentious by British publication NME.

Now peep her speaking on the album during a show in Helsinki last night below…

Hit the 0.49 mark:

With Camp GaGa making a marked effort to soften her brand by the time ‘ARTPOP‘ arrives, we can’t wait to see how the last year has shaped both her ideas on both a thematic and visual tip.

For, whatever one thinks of ‘Born’, there’s no denying the power behind its message or the- and forgive us for this- ‘epic-ness’ of cuts like ‘The Edge Of Glory’, ‘Black Jesus’ and the TGJ favorite ‘Judas‘.

It’s only fault lay in its delivery, too loud and abrasive for any who didn’t consider themselves a ‘Monster’, or didn’t have an existing interest in her work.

Here’s hoping ‘ARTPOP‘ sees her deliver material just as meaningful but in ‘simpler’ and ‘digestible’ packaging.

Packaging, that allows the casual listener to enjoy her music without feeling like they’re being bombarded with mantras left right and centre once unwrapped.

    No, BTW was just a huge pretentious, overproduced flop and she is refusing to admit it. I hope her next album has better material on it though.

  2. Rob August 29, 2012

    Lady FLOPga is a has-been already. I’m pretty sure your next album will FLOP again. Hahahaha!

    • Sleazy August 29, 2012

      Over 5mil sold and shipments of 8mil isn’t a flop tho

    • Anon August 29, 2012

      Rob Fusari…is that you?

  3. Sleazy August 29, 2012

    What happened to “Album of the decade” gaga????

    • mr.m August 29, 2012

      right in the head xD

    • real raquel honest August 31, 2012

      ADELE happen

  4. Sleazy August 29, 2012

    As Much as I USE to love gaga “BTW” was Crap. Besides (Edge. Y&I. MTN) She really lost alota fans when she went all “gay Political charged gaga” on us…. The fame and Monster are Gems! I still can’t believe “So happy I could die” was not a single like WTF

    • J.R August 29, 2012

      If anything she gained Fans, she’s a gay icon. All divas have a HUGE INCREASE of GAY followings . Usually any artist who are as passionate as gaga is about gay rights , gets the diva status. I’m not a gaga fan at all but i know this much , Beyonce Madonna , britney etc etc are all GAy icons and is her GAY FAN BASE which is they biggest. I may not like lady gaga as much but one thing i do RESPECT from her is that she takes an issue like “Human Rights” so passionately.

      • Where u been August 30, 2012

        Gain? Yet this album under performed as well as the singles Nah She lost a lot Her last 1 brought it 15 mil this 1 not so much and if she had to make re-release for BTW it will not even reach the 10mil mark

      • real raquel honest August 31, 2012

        SO if u TAKE AWAY GAY PEOPLE fans . WOULD LADY GAGA WILL STILL HAVE ALOT FANS ? noooo

    • JoJo (istan4rihanna) August 31, 2012

      She lost alot a fans, me being one of them. She shoulda stopped after The Fame Monster

  5. That B*tch (would you like a rihfund with that)? August 29, 2012

    Is that what you call it when your LP flops? A test?
    I love Gaga but you know BTW was not any test. You thought your fans worshipped you enough to buy any s*** you put out, just trying to make money off your weird personality and music. You thought we wouldn’t have noticed u fell off. Im glad that album flopped. I need her to go back to her Bad Romance roots. I hope this new LP will be good cuz im ready for some new music.

    • Where u been August 29, 2012

      Rihanna second biggest album sold 5mil and her latest 3mil so calling gaga BTW a flop which also sold over 5mil will be saying your fav is a bigger flop #justsaying

      • AmbeRussell August 29, 2012

        considering how heavily gaga promoted this album from very outlet, the million in 1 week with .99 for 2 days, the hyping of the project, starting at the 2010 vmas, the album of the decade, the hard core stan babse, twitter followers, you’ll exspect more from her as far sells but it sold the same amout as rihanna’s album, an artist many say is generic and other stan bases bash, yet she was just as successfull as gaga, as far as sells and gggb is her best album as far as sells with 7 mill. again, gaga sells are great for any artist, BUT from how she was selling it to the public, and how ppl reacted to it compared to 21 by adele, it did under perform. i wouldnt call it a flop, but it didnt do what she thought or would have hoped

  6. Greg August 29, 2012

    I don’t like her but she hasn’t been out long enough to be a has been

  7. JJFan1814 August 29, 2012

    People are still calling BTW a flop when all the singles except Marry The Night proved successful on the BB Hot 100 & let’s not forget the millions and millions of albums sold….

    People are really delusional on the internet. Lmao!

  8. MicroPop August 29, 2012

    BTW was one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME.
    Who thinks the opposite, has no life experience at all! Don’t care about them!

    And I don’t consider myself as a Monster, I just believe in true artistry, and BTW was far bigger than The Fame or The Fame Monster, they were too mainstream! BTW was REAL ART!

    • trillafood August 29, 2012

      Kill yourself for making that comment.
      BTW was terrible and far from being the greatest album of all time.
      Femme Fatale shits on BTW and I’m not even a Britney stan.

      • Punchline Queen April 2, 2013

        HAHAHAHA. Soz babes but Femme Fatale was SHIIIIT. HAHAHAHHHAHHA w o w. I can’t believe you just said that. No one gave two shits about that album ha. Born This Way, looking at it from an open mind, was original and legitimately quality sounds. Not the greatest of all time, far from it. She cops so much s*** for making Born This Way because of I guess the collaboration with genres. The mixing of pop lyrics and choruses with rock influenced beats. It’s not normal and hasn’t really been done, not to this level. So that’s why she is so critically slammed for the album. Overall it’s quality, nothing abut it is bad or has a sense of “overproduced”, it’s just completely different production from her previous, that’s the confusion. Besides, her Born This Way Ball sold out 99.6%, while performing in almost all bigger venues than previously. So clearly starting a tour a year after the main album it is supporting was released, and then going on to finishing it almost two years after it was released and vertially selling out every single show, is far from a flop. Shall I pull out the Britney statistics?

    • Beyonce’s Weave (& Her “HIVE” of Head-Lice) August 29, 2012

      This sounds a lot like what BeYAWNce stans say about 4closure…LMAO.

    • S****** Blonde August 29, 2012

      one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME.

      LMAO!..is her best album but no even close to be one of the greatest albums of all times, i wonder what her fans listen in 2007 when Gaga wasn’t famous.

      • mr.m August 29, 2012

        MY ASS!!!
        ACTUALLY the most over hyped flop of ALL TIME

  9. facekick August 29, 2012

    DEAD at people calling 5 million+ a flop!! Selling out stadiums all over the world. Sip that tea b****!

    • mr.m August 29, 2012

      I swear if they didn’t put all the hype it would’ve sold 10k
      LMAO Lady 99cent

  10. Beyonce4Ever August 29, 2012

    I’m sorry but I stopped paying attention to this pretentious imbecile ever since Alejandro. I’m not even a christian but a simulated orgy with a crucifix attached to her v***** is just stupid. She started believing her own hype. She may be talented but like Madonna she is also 90% hype. I hope this flops and my fellow gays grow a brain and realise she just wants to use us.

  11. JAKE (I PRAISE TALENT AND DEGRADE THE TALENT-LESS: DEAL WITH IT B****) August 29, 2012

    OH PLEASE MS. GERMANOTTA…….

    US “TRUE” MUSIC LOVERS ARE NOT DUMB OR STUPID……..

    BORN THIS WAY WAS OVER-EXXAGURATED, MELO-DRAMATIC, CLICHED’, BOTH MUSICALLY AND LYRICALLY VAPID AND EXTREMELY OVER-PRODUCED!!!

    THE FAME AND FAME MONSTER SUFFICED BRILLIANTLY …………. LP NO. 3 WAS JUST A PRETENTIOUS DISASTER AND “BORN THIS WAY”, THE SONG, WAS BLATANT AND LETHARGIC RIP OFF FROM EXPRESS YOURSELF.

    HOPEFULLY ARTPOP WILL BE JUST THQT ~ “ART-POP”!!!

    YOU HAVE TALENT, LET IT SHOW.

        who the f*** is that ?!

    • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

      hahaha. Do ur research.

  12. Truth August 29, 2012

    You can hate Gaga or love her. But Born This Way did not Flop at all. 8 million WW sold . Majority of your faves didn’t hit that number. It’s multi platinum everywhere and the b**** is still touring and making millions from one of th most profitable tours since Madonna’s “Emaculation Tours”. Millions in her 4 year career. Take several seats.

    • Lax August 29, 2012

      @TRUTH U R SO RIGHT!

  13. Taylor August 29, 2012

    If Born this Way was a success critically and amongst fans, she wouldn’t be calling it a test. She’s just trying to cover her own ass.

    Fact.

  14. christinastherealtalent August 29, 2012

    @ FACE KICK

    it is a flop considering how it was supposed to be the album.of the decade but ended up getting overshadowed by 21.

    anyway *in my sarcastic voice* how does BTW go from album of the decade to a test. I feel she tried too hard to channel Christinas Stripped. The album cover was too much like Christinas Bionic. Judas and Marry the Night both flopped. Then her label wanted to say the album sold over 8 million ww when its only barely sold 6 million.

    Gagas career is full of falsely inflated sales and gimmicks.

    ARTPOP will indeed be the album that will be her last successful one or will FLOP hard. She only blew up like she did because of all the attention she got from the Christina controversy and she even admitted that and she was a breath of fresh air to music but now that her steam has cooled, I think a lot of people have moved on.

    • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

      Please nobody is trying to emulate Xtina Aguilera. Stop the delusions

      • Rob August 29, 2012

        Everyone knows Lady Gaga is a Madonna wannabe. hahaha!

    • MC August 29, 2012

      Wow….you are still not over the Bionic era are you? Hmmm…….I have to be honest with you, I don’t think Gaga was trying to emulate “Stripped” lol that is way……hmmmm….out there….

      • facekick August 29, 2012

        Gaga ended your sorry ass Floptina’s career. Please have multiple seats.

      • MC August 29, 2012

        @facekick lol but I am not an Xtina stan or fan…..I do like her though lol

  15. Truth August 29, 2012

    She’s calling it a test in comparison to how far the music industry allowed her to have creative control. Not a test as In it wasnt that great. BTW was an Epic album. The only reason majority of the black community doesn’t like it because theres no R&B or Rap on the album. That’s the only reason the urban public ain’t into it. Everyone else with an open perception to music has enjoyed it. And it did sell over 8 million. FACT. I understand y’all are pressed but please come with facts y’all look desperate. What is Rihanma or Kelly Rowland doing? Call them flops cuz those b****** aint no better

    • BlackMamba August 29, 2012

      I hate to curse but you really are a stupid b****.

      What has race or genre got to do with this. SHE FLOPPED BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS OVERBEARING..
      This has not got anything to do with Rap or R&B, it’s got to do with someone who thought her fans would buy anything she put out and released an overproduced piece of techno trash!

      Leave race out of this boo boo. I respond to what I enjoy NOT what my skin tone dictates.

  16. DOSSOME August 29, 2012

    These “I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD” gimmicks by madonna & gaga are not relevant anymore.MAKE GOOD MUSIC AND WE’LL BUY IT BUT DON’T GO ACTING LIKE REVOLUTIONARY CREATURES WHEN ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS $$$$$$$$…..BESIDES MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO THINK THESE 2 ARE ICONIC ARE THE LGBT PEOPLE UNLIKE ARETHA,TINA,WHITNEY,STEVIE WONDER,MARIAH & MICHAEL WHO BECAME ICONS SOLELY ON MERITS OF THEIR MUSIC…

  17. POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

    and u got yourself a f***** “F” in it ,caca.

  18. Truth August 29, 2012

    I give up on this biased ass site. Anything that’s microwaved you b****** understand but when it comes to an artist that makes you think. You gotta shade and hate her. And yes my dear it is about race , that’s why people keep saying they want her to go back to The Fame era, cuz it was urban influenced. That way the black people can be happy cuz they can relate to the music not the techno that Europeans and white college students enjoy. I get it. But to have so much dislike for something u can’t understand is wrong

  19. RAGINg August 29, 2012

    How is 1 million in a week without Amazon promo and 8 million WW a flop? Just please explain that to me without bringing up the Gimmick , Madonna, Britney, Christina, etc bull. Cuz it seems like y’all are making up excuses just to hate her. I don’t even like her that much but how can u hate on 8 million???
    Has Beyonce sold 8 million with 4? Has Rihanna with TTT?? Sorry ….. Adele is her only compitition.

    • ty August 29, 2012

      8 million shipped and sold are two diffrent things

  20. Where u been August 29, 2012

    Just like gaga Has gimmicks. Katy has gimmicks (food. Genital signs. Dressing like desert etc) Rihanna does to (her fake THUG act. Her I don’t give a f*** attitude. and her v*****) etc so don’t judge gaga alone out of the 3 she is 10klhblknghlkmnbhkmgfhg times talented

  21. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 29, 2012

    No honey. ‘Born This Way’ was a failure. You can call it a “test” if you want to, but it’s too late for that to work. “Tests” don’t usually demand millions to be promoted and 5 single releases with long expensive videos. Stop trying to come up with excuses and move on!

    • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

      A failure?? Hardly. You need to get over yourself. You don’t know actually what her goal was so you can’t really call it excuses. She’s not obsessed with sales or money like you h*** if you really understood her. Yes, music is considered her work and she needs to get paid for it but she is still going to release quality work even if it IS a TEST. Do you understand?? She is not gonna put something else out that is sloppy. That’s why it is expensive.

      • MC the place to be!! August 29, 2012

        how do you call an album that sold 2 million in the US alone a flop with a number one single! if thats a flop then what is not?! please tell me especially in this day and age where ppl dont buy s***!

  22. THE REAL TYLER% August 29, 2012

    I JUST STARTED REALLY GETTING IN TO THE ALBUM THIS YEAR!

    I LOVE IT NOW

    HOWEVER HER BEST WORK WAS OBVIOUSLY THE FAME MONSTER!

    SHE NEEDS TO MAKE A REMAKE OF THAT ALBUM

    HOWEVER I DO FEEL SINGLE CHOICES PLAYED A BIG A ROLE AS WELL

    IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN:

    1. SCHIEBE
    2. HEAVY METAL LOVER
    3. YOU AND I
    4. HAIR
    5. EDGE OF GLORY
    6. BORN THIS WAY

    “I WANT YOUR WHISKEY MOUTH ALL OVER MY BLONDE SOUTH!!!”

  23. ty August 29, 2012

    I LOVE GAGA BUT SHE LOST ME WITH BORN THIS WAY SHE SHOULD TRY SO HARD AND LET IT HAPPEN NATURALLY HOPE FULL HE NEXT ALBUM IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE FAME AND FAME MONSTER

    • ty August 29, 2012

      SHOULDN’T TRY*

    • MC August 29, 2012

      Is your cap-lock stuck?

  24. christinastherealtalent August 29, 2012

    @ MICROPOP

    I’ve had plenty of life experiences moving from va to la and been through many highs and lows and BTW didn’t do anything for me. It wasn’t and still isn’t anything to write home about. Gaga knew exactly what community to use because it would help her sell and she went for it and it worked. Compared to the sales and success of the singles released from Fame, BTW is a FLOP!

  25. DOSSOME August 29, 2012

    8 MILLION WORLDWIDE IS VERY FAR FROM FLOP ALBUM,BUT CONSIDERING BTW WAS TAPPED TO OUTSELL NOT ONLY 21,BUT ALSO ALL RELEASES POST 2000 ERA,THEN ONLY MANAGING TO SELL A MERE 8 MILL,then it is a flop…the only thing memorable abt this album is that its lead single sounds like express yourself…I WANT GOOD MUSIC that doesn’t have 2 border blasphemy & pornography just to generate hype.WHAT MAKES AN ICONIC RECORD IS GOOD MUSIC,PERIOD

  26. mc the place to be!! August 29, 2012

    Omg y’all born this way was a success it had a number one single its 2x platinum if it was a flop then trust and believe born this way ball Wouldn’t still be selling out everywhere y’all already know them monsters don’t play especially her Japanese ones she’s HUGE over there!! After Adele born this way is the most successful album of 2011 whether it did or did not match the success she had with her earlier albums its still successful and had good reviews I wouldn’t call it a flop gaga does so well because she makes ppl miss her music

  27. PrettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

    Lol if gaga is a flop what is Rihanna? Think about that carefully before you try and shade the REAL pop queen of the generation. Thanks. Bye.

    • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

      Madonna is the queen of pop , the next gonna be britney !!

      Rihanna is a queen of her own.

      • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

        Honey, Britney is a has been PRINCESS. Madonna is a legend but she’s hardly relevant anymore. Gaga is the queen of THIS generation. I never said other generations but she has come a long way. Just admit it and get over your obsession with Rihanna. She’s not the queen of anything except singles.

      • real raquel honest August 31, 2012

        F*** OFF LADY GAGA wont last 30 years in this music world. i give 4 more years . she old news aready .

  28. Beyonce’s Weave (& Her “HIVE” of Head-Lice) August 29, 2012

    The fact remains Lady Caca overestimated her star power and released a piece of crap self proclaimed “album of the decade” (Adele had the album of the decade BTW). Born this way was a piece of pasted drivel and tosh, put together by someone who used Modonna’s previous image to help write that flop.

    Born this way was arguably the worst album to be released by a pop act in that year, horrible, pretentious, arrogant, stolen tosh that deserves the dust bin.

    • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

      PREACH !!!

    • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

      She doesn’t seem to care tho. She’s a humble and down to earth person that cares more about bringing people together purely for the love of music. Unlike you f*** she’s already rich and worried about her artistry more than money. It’s not that serious to her. BYE.

      • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

        the Lies in this comment are Too much for me to address.

      • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

        Cuz you can’t cuz u know you’re wrong. Bye.

  29. JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

    I´m so tired of this s*** all over again… from superficial and basic music lovers. Born This Way is Gaga´s best album to date. End of. The Fame was good for a start, but to simple and easy
    It´s clear Gaga´s team have learnt the lesson and probably try to attrack some people who liked The Fame and not BTW, but that doesn´t mean BTW is not her best album
    And I agree with the people saying she meant this “test” thing in a musical point of view, not in the sense of testing what people likes and sales and all that

    Some Xtina Aguilera and Rihanna fans on this post need to chill, they are making a foll of themselves with this BTW was a flop thing

    • BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare August 29, 2012

      Thank you. I thought I was crazy. BTW is a superior album to The Fame. it just is.

      Even though I never liked the title song from the album, “Marry The Night,” “Judas,” “Government Hooker,” “Scheisse,”Bloody Mary,” “Heavy Metal Lover,” and “You and I” is the Gaga I was always waiting for.

    • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

      what basic Music Lovers ?!! Just cuz you stan for “mariah” doesn’t make your taste in music any special , especially when your fav is clearly a “sell-out” whether u liek it or not. teaming up with justine bieber to stay hot and relevant !
      Bye @john.

      And BTW wasn’t her best album , TFM was , just stop !!

      and compare her claims before the release and what really happened , it is a flop baby , who flop at their 3rd album , huh ?

      and she back to do shallow music ” lack maturity in her OWN words” , you can find the same kind of music in “the fame” , so that will tell u what ?!

      She’s a flop and she is regretting everything about “BTW” !!

      Bye.

      • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

        Man you know BTW is not a flop, it just had bigger expectations.
        What does legendary Mariah Carey have to do with this? As far as I know she just released a song which is not following the trend at all, Xtina just did for example. Gaga didn´t follow the trend with all the BTW singles either (hell she actually started the current trend in 2008). Not here for angry basic b****** fans (Rihanna). Sorry, it had to be said
        This was a post about Gaga, not Rihanna or Xtina but some of their fans started to hate on Gaga for no reason. They got lectured about music and flops. Just that

      • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

        And stop calling me a Mariah Carey fan on every damn post cos I´m as big of a Mariah Carey fan as I am of some other true greats

      • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

        But all of this with much love from me hey @pop ? 🙂

      • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

        Mariah is allowed to sell out. She is a gifted songwriter, vocalist, and musician. And she collabed with Bieber in her later years. She’s only collabed with rappers most of her career. Most of her hits are just her voice tho. Stay mad.

      • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

        Don’t Give me the Xtina Vs. Mariah Bs , i’m here for their music , their diva antics are not my Cup of Tea and U know it , i live when mariah shades tho …. NOT my point , but whatever …

        Gaga is just not ” the hot of the moment” anymore , i don’t respect her as an artist anymore , unless she gives me the real stefani i want !!

        And rihanna started the current trend of electro music , let’s not forget ” don’t stop the music” in 2007 , huh ?

        and i’m not angry or Mad , u know it 8)

        hey @john 😀

      • POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) August 29, 2012

        and you are a lam dear john , if you didn’t know about it , now u know.

  31. christinastherealtalent August 29, 2012

    You Gaga stans are delusional as s***. Even with the proof right in front of you, you still insist it sold 8 million. Bless your hearts.

    The song born this way is a complete rip off of express yourself. The album cover is a complete rip off of christinas Bionic cover. The overall tone of BTW is a complete rip off of Stripped.

    Yall just mad nobody checking for Gaga. It’s all a competition for Gaga and she is the biggest narcissitic B**** since Kim K.

    • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

      LIESS. What gives you indication she’s narcsisstic? Y can’t you xtina fans just be happy for gaga? Y r u always so bitter? Cuz Xtina flopped in 2010? You need to get over it. Worry about your queen supporting her and her new single “Your Body” and leave gaga alone. Sore losers never make it.

    Lol rihanna fans calling other artist flop? Can they talk about all of rihanna flops including tours and performances? What’s about the recent one with all the hype and released in the midst of a Worod tour. Oh can they talk about rihanna making 50 milli with album and singles sales,world tour movie and endorsement deals? Biggest flop. Loud has been out longer than BTW. Btw is no flop. Look out for the flop on Forbes next year. ignorant b******. Rihanna has been promoting l idle crazy and she is still pulling basic numers. Who ever said she is a has been. Pray that your favorite never become one and tour every year of their career because……..

      Rihanna did not believe her own hype and proclaim her album “the album of the decade”. Rihanna did not put in the marketing dollars that Interscope put into Flop this way only to be disappointed by the outcome. Rihanna did not sell her album for $0.99 cents First week. That is a weak comparison.

      Plus Rihanna has sold out arena’s and stadiums too.

    I see this girl having a mental breakdown very soon, first “Born This Way” sold 8 million copies WW, then it was 6 Million Copies WW, now they changed to 5.5 million copies WW, her team is the problem and herself since she allowed them to make looks her like a clown, now the Twiiter followers, 71% of Lady Gaga’s 29 million Twitter followers are fake, why sam didn’t post about it. Now she finally let hypocrisy to another and has been brave enough to criticize The Queen of Pop, with a Black Jesus singing “Like a Prayer”, she said: “I don’t give a f*ck what people say. We don’t give a f*ck — we know the truth!”…..i have always say that she didn’t like Madonna, she was just pretending just to give a good image, that’s why i love Madonna, she is honest, she say what she wants. Lady Gaga has these people as fans:

    1- Little Monsters: those who really loved her.

    2- People like me who used to like her (but i never considered myself a little monster) when she was still Stefani and not Madonna’s impersonator.

    3: Those who hate Madonna and think she can overcome or be bigger than Madonna, they support Gaga because they know that their favorites couldn’t do it so they trust Gaga because they think she can do what their favorites could not. they prefer to see Gaga reigning than Madonna still in the throne.

    That’s it.

    You all lack comprehension skills. Or didn’t you watch the video? She said it was a test to her real fanbase, as in with the bad review the album got and how everyone was poking fun at her, she was able to see who her real fans were : the ones who were (during BTW era) and still aresupporting her.

    I think she accepted it wasn’ the album of the decade.
    What she means is that she really didn’t lose any fans, since she considers herself an artist and was always going to experiment. The ones who only like “The Fame” Gaga and are not open to new experiences were going to leave her anyway.

    (And no, I’m not even a fan of her, I just wanted to point out that most of you, if not all, gotthe wrong meaing of “test”.
    Sorry if I made some mistakes, I’m Frech.)

    • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) August 29, 2012

      You made the point very clear. Thank U!

    • BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare August 29, 2012

      • MC the place to be!! August 29, 2012

  38. mr.m August 29, 2012

    ACCEPT IT!!! the album is SH!T
    it was selling ONLY because of her HYPED name (back in the day LOL)
    FLOPGa is a has been already .. nobody is talking about her anymore
    her 15 min are up :))

    back to real music .. bye

    • prettigurlrockD August 29, 2012

      Actually BYE to you. She’s still going on strong. LOTS will be checking for her once the album is here. She’s not like Nicki Minaj cuz she’s actually a good live performer and artist might I add. So tootles.

  39. christinastherealtalent August 29, 2012

    The reason us xtina fans can’t stand Gaga or her team is because they did everything imaginable to destroy Christina just to make room for Gaga. Instead of earning her fame and success, it was all easily handed to her through controversy. So what if Christina made a comment about not knowing who she was or her gender, that’s no reason to destroy somebody or their career. Then its the complete Madonna ripoff. Everybody acting like Gaga is something creative, innovative and original when in reality she’s nothing but a puppet on a string.

    Everytime something doesn’t go accordingly to Gagas expectations when it comes to album sales or whatever she contradicts herself and comes up with some half baked excused as to why she failed to meet those expectations and standards.

    I remember when she Fame Monster would be a stand alone album, sales were horrible so she labeled it an EP (because EP sales aren’t that great for anybody), then she decides to combine it with the Fame and call it a deluxe to boost sales and make it seem like Fame sold more than the original version. Then here she comes again talking about how BTW was the album of the decade, found a cheap selling tactic for the first week that helped boost the sales, the Adele snatched that wig from her for album of the decade and at the grammys, now Gaga saying this album was a test.

    F****** pathetic.

  40. D MACK August 29, 2012

    I find it funny when people bash Gaga for being a has-been when so many artists today try to emulate her.

    BTW was an abrasive unapologetic concept album that failed to deliver huge numbers like all timeless albums.

    The public will do anything anything to tear apart great entertainers.
    What makes a successful album isn’t copies sold but the ACTUAL MESSAGE of the album. But haters will always have an opinion. Get real people!

  41. MACHIAVEL August 29, 2012

    I Think What She Mean By “It Was Test”, It’s Because She Needed To Know How Big Her Real Fanbase( Those Who Love Her Creativity And Not Those Who Only Like When She Goes Generic Like The Fame And The Fame Monster) Is, That Was The Test!

    And @Gaga’s Fans, Like Truth, Please Don’t With Haters, It’s TGJ, Most Of People Here Are Hateful, Delusional, Nolife And Full Of BS. The Only Thing You Can Do, Is Not Wast Your Time By Reading Their Nosenses Comment! Like The Only Navy I Read Are: Icon/Natalie, Commenderofadanceflor And Lax(Sometimes) Otherwise, I Passe My Turn Cause They Never Have Something Good To Say About Others Artist Like Beyonce,Lady G, Ciara And Rita!

    Once Again, Sorry For My S***** English!!!!!!

  42. Where u been August 30, 2012

  45. Pop Culture Addict- My fav slays September 20, 2012

    Hate it or love it BTW was epic and you will deal

  46. Jay September 20, 2012

    Why does she sound like a whiny crying preteen when she talks? “it was a test to see who my real fans are” meaning if you don’t buy all of my crap you were never really a true fan. Can’t believe some people fall for that. I just hate how self pitying she is. Newsflash little monsters-there’s no reason for you to feel sorry for her or for yourselves. Stop letting this manipulative woman bring you down.
