Lady GaGa Slams Critics: “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”

Published: Tuesday 11th May 2010 by Trent

During a recent performance of ‘Speechless’ in her ‘Monster Ball Tour’, Lady GaGa issued a statement to her critics who have been calling for her to slow down. Now that her tour has been extended until April 18th 2011, many worry that the singer is risking her health, especially since she has lost several pounds as a result of her hectic schedule. However, GaGa says that she’d “rather not die on vacation” but would “rather die on stage” with her fans. Check out the footage below (starting at 6:25) where GaGa proclaimed “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”:

Wile GaGa’s work ethic is admirable, it is easy to see why many people have been begging her to end her tour. From her rail thin figure to her recent bouts with exhaustion, she seems to truly being killing herself for her craft. Remember when Mariah Carey had her well-publicised breakdown in 2001 which was caused by the massive promotional/recording schedule for her ‘Glitter’ album?  Yep…

Thoughts?

    Well then, die b****.

    Hey, the girls on a mission. I admire her work ethic. She’s not just dropping video after video or song after song. She’s touring and trying to build a real, dedicated base of fans. She’s giving them performances and shows that are really worth the ticket price.

    More power to her.

    I absolutely love Lady Gaga, I guess it is up to her whether she wants to rest or not.

    But she really does pain her fans when she looks so exhausted on stage. I just hope that she gets enough rest.

    No-one has a right to tell her to stop, except herself. We can just be there to support her.

    I love you, Lady Gaga. ♥ Peace, love, solitude and happiness.

    Your little monsters are behind you all the way, mother monster.

    love Gaga, she is no puppet

    No one is gonna tell her what to do, she drives her own career. I respect for that

  5. Baron May 11, 2010

    This is disturbing. She says “I know alcohol will kill me one day” and the crowd cheers? WTF.

    I’m all about having a good time but come on, she’s an influence on so many youngsters, who are overindulging in alcohol and taking part in drug use. Not cool!

    Also she does look really loopy – a couple months off couldn’t hurt.

  6. “Dj Y2k Malone” May 11, 2010

    I like Gaga but she’s looking scary lately

  7. exposed May 11, 2010

    GOOD!! GUESS WE WILL RID OF THIS USELESS D*** GIMMICK RIGHT QUICK!! SHE’S ALREADY HOOKED ON COCAINE. KARMA IS A B****!!!!!!

  8. RANDOM May 11, 2010

    just do you gaga.

  9. Kev May 11, 2010

    Gaga looks like really crazy lately in these live shows. I think she needs to think about her health.

  10. mandy May 11, 2010

    There goes the fire again, She was horrible. anyway she was not singing to the crowd but to satan. If you notice all the devil worshipers always have fire in their video or concerts.

  11. Last Boy on Earth May 11, 2010

    She’ll run out of ideas or should I say, she will reach the moment when she had already copied everyone and then she will stop 😀

  12. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 11, 2010

    Seems like nowdays all the artists are on something, to do the kind of acts that they do on stage. If you notice their LOOKS HAVE CHANGE.

  13. ilovegaga May 11, 2010

    i have a feelin sumthin bads gona happen 2 her. im scared 4 her

  14. Christian May 11, 2010

    LOL @ BARON – But she’ll learn even if it has to be the HARD WAY!!!!!!!

  15. Jude May 11, 2010

    I love Lady GaGa to death but I agree with what they are saying. She’s working herself like a dog. I really think she should take a little time of, like one month every three or something. It would benefit her very much, plus I would not want to see her die, especially so soon.

  16. hardcastle May 11, 2010

    what will she do next, performing is good because you are having fun but talking about checking out on a stage is not cool .

  17. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 11, 2010

    GaGa can not take any time off until her dept is paid. If you loook all the artist look run down tired, but still push thereselves. Bey, Riahnna, Gaga looks so damm tired, no I mean really tired. Another thing the concerts they have to do must be very stressful.

  18. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 11, 2010

    oops! looks

  19. stan May 11, 2010

    you will die sooner when you dont get enough sleep

    dont be stupid, gaga.

  20. bobby from bulgaria May 11, 2010

    Well, I guess we’ve seen it all from Lady Gaga now…

    That video was really really REALLY BORING TO DEATH to watch… She’s just always making a clown of herself… I like her music though… Well, not this song but her hit singles…

    And she definitely looked healthier and more beautiful in her first videos…

    And the ending to this song sounded quite like Mariah’s ending of her version of the Star-Spangled Banner… Really… So she COPIED that…

    But I really don’t get it… The things she talks on stage… About dying, especially about being killed by alcohol…!!! And some people criticized Mariah for being just a little tipsy at an award show??? Well, double standards I guess…

  21. Last Boy on Earth May 11, 2010

    Ok and can we say failed attempt of shock factor in her sentence? I like Gaga but sorry, Madonna already showed everything for people to be shocked, the only thing that is left is performing naked on stage and I doubt that anyone wants to see Gaga naked

  22. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 11, 2010

    Why would Gaga say those things in her song/video. There are alot of kids following her. Just what are these artist doing to our children. HOW COULD SHE SAY SOMETHING DUMB LIKE THAT, BEING KILLED BY ALCOHOL. And when you look at her she just skin and bones. So something is going on

  23. nothing but my opinion May 11, 2010

    let Gaga be..nothing can stop this chick!
    i just love her passion and love she has for her work
    she will take a break when she wants..

  24. Glow In The Dark May 11, 2010

    She keeps going the way she is, she won’t have to worry. She going to kill herself!

  25. Tha Phoenix May 11, 2010

    Gaga, when I say take a rest, it’s because I love you and don’t want anything bad to happen to you. I want to enjoy your music for years to come.

    🙂

  26. yesyes May 11, 2010

    fame is an addiction.

    & GaGa has it bad.

  27. NAS May 11, 2010

    Yawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

  28. here to laugh May 11, 2010

    I agree with Plain and Simple. These artists like Gaga let their fans down when they are exhausted and run down. I would rather artists like her, Bey, and Rihanna take a break and get some sleep then keep pushing themselves to the limit. Yeah, her work ethic may be admirable, but she’s headed for a breakdown if she keeps this up.

  29. bbq May 11, 2010

    I love her drive and determination. Her dedication to her fans is unlike any artist out right now.

    She goes so hard for them. Music is life or death for her. She has nothing else. She’s never wanted anything but a career. And now that she has one. I don’t expect to her slowing down anytime soon.

    People are making such a big deal about this when in fact it’s not that serious. Ok yes, she’s lost a lot of weight and her hair, skin and teeth look awful but it’s not like she doesn’t eat. And it’s her life. If she wants to die on stage then by all means let her.

    That girl puts heart and soul into what she does. That is why she’s at the level she is at right now. No other artist out there right now is working harder than she is. Touring like crazy, shooting videos, recording a new album.

    I’d be the same way if I were in her shoes.

  30. michael May 11, 2010

    I REALLY BELIEVE SHE WANTS TO DIE BY WORKING SO HARD BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO DIE FOR HER MUSIC U KNOW WHAT IM SAYING SHE WANTS HER DEATH TO BE LEGENDARY BECAUSE SHE SO BADLY WANTS TO BE A ICON AND LEAVE HER LEGACY BEHIND..

  31. Jessy May 11, 2010

    I just went to her concert tonight in Berlin and she actually said the same thing…I have so much respect for Lady Gaga: she is such a great entertainer! Today she won me over; after seeing that American Idol show I wasnt so sure if she still had it…but i was proven wrong!

  32. BeYAWNce May 11, 2010

    go gaga,

  33. DJ Taj May 11, 2010

    She wants to die a tragic death like all the legendary “pop art” artists… I’ve been saying that for months now.

    This is all coming from the woman who’s had to cancel shows for passing out… Yeah, she’s on the right path if that’s what she wants. I’m so over her that if that’s what she wants… I’ll support it! Keep going till you croak Gaga!!

    On a positive note… That was a good rendition of the song. (And that’s coming from a non-fan)

  34. BEYONCE VS. THE WORLD May 11, 2010

    GAGA REMINDS ME OF BEY WHEN IT COMES TO WORK THEY BOTH WORK VERY HARD FOR THEIR SPOTS AND I AGREE WITH HER SHE CAN SLEEP WHEN SHE IS DEAD

  35. Gareth May 11, 2010

    How long is this s*** gonna fly for. ‘Oh I love my fans so much’ ‘oh I would rather die performing for you than take a break’ I mean please!! I am a huge fan of her music but I doubt a love for her fans is the motivating factor. Cashing in whilst the going is good is more like it!!

  36. RANDOM May 11, 2010

    I’m so happy i could die 😐

  37. Darren May 11, 2010

    LMFAO @ BoomBoomPow.

    Doesn’t she realize that the more you give people the quicker they stop caring about you?

    I know shoe doesnt have too many tricks left in her sequin covered bag.

  38. Kayla May 11, 2010

    These artists like Rihanna and Gaga can not take a break. Once they signed on there’s no turning back. Now it’s being said that Jay Z wants Rihanna to be the “face” of a new club. She’s already working her b*** off on tour and now the Joe Camel want her to party when she should be resting. She was paid to show up at that club for 45 thousand dollars. She got drunk and partied until 4:30. I know Rihanna would rather chill and relax but when Joe Camel is around all he see is $$$. Same with Gaga. I think Gaga is a puppet. She’s been working non stop and it has nothing to do with being a hard worker. She has to do what she was signed on to do. I wish Rihanna and Gaga the best and wish these people above them realize they are young and are human beings first and should come before $$$

  39. GansterA May 11, 2010

    Yes gaga you will sleep when u die keep the hard work

  40. xratedforj May 11, 2010

    There is nothing wrong with working hard….but your tongue speaks things into life! So be careful what you say because it most likely will happen!

  41. jammy May 11, 2010

    The way she looked at the end seemed like she wasn’t completely happy.. look at her eyebrows and face while she is speaking!

  42. Lady Gaga tickets May 12, 2010

    Lady Gaga, believe us!
    We always like you,

    Your music is so intense!
    Wish to see you,
    In any concert that take place,
    Our love is that of Romeo.
    However how pricy are tickets!
    We got’ em in Ticketpolice.com

  43. Gucci May 12, 2010

    give this girl a cheeseburger! stat!

    I love gaga but she honestly needs to calm down and eat something. It’s not cute.

  44. Gaga Take A Thought of what you said. May 12, 2010

    I man hello I love Gaga but I really want her to think what she says. I dont mind her dancing naked and stuff. But keep in mind your tongue will speak things into excitence. And I believe she wants to be an unforgetable Icon and wants to die some tragic way. I think maybe since AlexMcQueen died she is a little disturbed.

  45. soldier May 12, 2010

    Well if she wants to last, she’d rather sleep a little!
    Because even if SHE is not exhausted, people will soon be tired to hear about her OVER and OVER again!

    Personnally I am already…

  46. DizzyGuy1985 May 12, 2010

    Its her life. I think she wants to keep going because she knows that her time might be running out. Only the real OG’s can take time off and still have fans. I love Lady Gaga but if she wants to die on stage. Go for it!

  47. Jason May 13, 2010

    Die b****, you are the most ugly singers of this generation, and if she keeps working like that, she will become uglier than ever………

  48. Andariego May 15, 2010

    I LOVE GAGA. Her target crowd are 18+, so talking about alcohol doesn’t really matter! Leave the 17 and under to Bieber! She knows what she’s doing and her record sales and fanbase are show this! GAGA4LIFE!
