Quote from: chronovore on December 04, 2013, 12:10:43 AMI've been listening to this album, and think it's pretty much right in line with where she was going with The Fame Monster. There's nothing surprising, and it is along the same trajectory; not sure what people wanted. I like it quite a bit.I can't speak for everybody, but I was hoping she'd iterate on the direction she went with Born This Way. For a moment it seemed like she was moving past the airy pop music, but Artpop does a U-turn right back into it.

There are writers there who have it out for her and will report outright lies. For example, the people being laid off rumor.
The foundation, which lists Gaga’s lovely mom, Cynthia Germanotta, as president, had a lot of expenses in 2012 that had nothing to do with helping anyone. They spent $300,000 on “Strategic Consulting (web, digital),” $62,836 on “Stage Productions (Harvard, LA, UN),” $50,000 on “Social Media,” and another almost $50,000 on “Event Coordination.”What?Born this Way also spent: $808,661 on “other”; $406,552 on “Legal”; $150,000 on “Philanthropic Consulting”; $60,000 on “research”; 58,768 on “Publicity fees”; $78,000 on “travel”. They spent $72,000 on salaries– presumably for running the Born this Way bus, although that episode had its own expense line.Under ‘grants to organizations or individuals”: $5000. Five thousand dollars.

Oddly, I'm more interested in the vomit artist's regular work in its normal context, rather than this girl-on-girl emetophilia. It could be a remarkably deep statement about what drives an artist, but in the on-stage supportive performance with Gaga, it speaks an entirely different message.
