    It keeps happening to her in 2014 her manger of years troy carter let her go because of the commercial failure her album ARTPOP did a couple of years later she rises up again to an oscar win, an emmy, a golden globe and even more grammys i feel like an advice that any of her team members should hold on to is to never let go of her and back her up even at her lowest cause you literally can not keep talent down forever it’ll rise again and again and again

    I gotta correct you on the fact that artpop was in no way a failure, the media wanted it to fail so hard but it’s nowhere near a failure. It’s the fact that her manager and label treating her like a money making machine and the competition she had with katy perry and her manager leaving her that made artpop a difficult era for her that had to be cut short. The album has sold over 3 million records it went no.1 and had a top 10 hit and still charted a couple years later it’s the furthest away from being a failure and people should stop calling artpop with that

    To be fair, I didn't become a fan of Gaga until I saw her HBO Special of Monster Ball. She's that rare talent who surpassed her recording materials with her live performances by a long mile.

    I thought she was just another cutesy pop artist at first until I heard her do Poker Face on the piano and I was blown away. Ever since then, I've been hooked!

    “She used to speak, last time i saw her she didn’t” for anyone who doesn’t know, gaga was sexually assaulted for weeks until she got pregnant and got sick at the age of 19 then dropped at her parents doorstep then after that she got dropped from def jam. This must’ve been the hardest memory she has and of course wouldn’t wanna deal with any of the trauma she has with both the assault and her previous label dropping her out

    I became her fan/Little Monster since 2009, it's because my cousin bought a music compilation CD where there was Paparazzi in it. Once I heard it, I'm in love, and I started to browse everything. Most of the classmates were crazy over Justin Bieber, and I was the only Little Monster that year. 😅
