I don't mind defending her, but some people get really nasty about it on here. Someone asked why she has so many devoted fans because they couldn't understand why, and I posted a long message explaining why I personally really like her, and then quite a few people started picking my post apart, calling me deluded and naive for thinking Gaga cares about her fans, and that she's only in it for the money blah blah blah. Like they were almost offended that I was a fan.
I can understand that people don't think she is original and that she is manufactured and all the rest, and they are entitled to that opinion. But out of all the artists out there for some reason on here people seem to really hate her and her fans and I don't get why. Every artist has their fair share of crazy obsessive fans, but for some reason all Gaga fans are tarred with the same brush. Apparently, we want to "kill" any one who dares to criticise her, we think she invented the music video and pop music and was the first to do everything. I'd say only a small minority of fans actually think that way.
I don't understand why Gaga herself gets so much hate directed towards her as well. She never bitches about other artists or people, she never claimed to be 100% original, in fact she said in an interview a week or so ago that being original is something she is still working on, she sends out a great message in that you should be yourself and don't be afraid not to fit in, she's puts in loads of effort into her performances, music videos, tours, always sings live, she's very pro gay rights and acceptance as well, which is evident from her music videos and lyrics. There are a hell of a lot of worse artists out there, yet she and her fans get so much hate.
I enjoy her music and think she is a great person who loves her fans and a lot of people can't accept that and try to turn me against her for what ever reason and to be quite honest I am sick to death of it. I mean we can't even have a thread about her friggin music video without it descending into a gaga haters vs fan war!!
Woah that was long post, just pisses me off on here that her and her fans get so much hate on
every single thread about her. I feel a lot better now I've had my rant
