Thought gaga claimed she cared for her fans, appears not, what a hypocrite she is.

I don't see any comments left by fans there, just a consumer site and ''devout Christians'' who hate anything if they aren't nice, inoffensive Disney shit like Taylor Swift.

It's expensive, but we're talking about Barney's here. It was hardly going to be Poundland stuff.:sleep:

They don't particularly sound like "fans".

They sold a wide range of products from low to high end, so this is pretty selective "reporting" to say the least.

Got to love when the Christian extremists get their panties in a twist.

^ The products.

Ranging from $8 to $1,990.

As TCB said, this is Barneys of New York. This is a retail store that deals in designer items, so naturally designer items are included and cost a bomb.

This wasn't just a fan merchandise stall, it was part of the Barneys store that had a theme for the holidays.

If someone is designing gifts for her/his fans to buy the decent thing to do is make them affordable! not all of us have their millions to spend.....

Lots of them are affordable. They start at just over £5.

If it's not about the money and all about the music, why is Gaga even releasing these things?

Surprised to see the hordes of gaga fans who post on these forums not posting on this topic.
You need to defend your fav artist from what is clearly a money making racket

Perhaps they have come to the same conclusion like many of us on here - that you are basically a terminally bored troll always on the look out for a reaction. Hope so, anyway.

I see the gaga stans have arrived at last.

Now back on topic, this needs discussing, she states she lovs her fans with one hand but appears to be happy to fleece them with the other. Nothing worse than an artist who is happy to do that.

You're actually embarrassing, and this thread is completely pointless.

From what I've read previously, I understand that Geordielady is a mother with a job. Yet she spends all her time on here ramming Taylor Swift up the backside (which is cringey enough; Taylor Swift, come on...) and constantly bringing certain artists down just to get a reaction like a little girl would do... the thought of my parents doing that actually knocks me sick.

Gaga fans were the first to post in here and frankly eradicated your attempt at a dig thread by punching holes in it big enough to walk Taylor's entire back catalog of men through quite comfortably at once with a couple of pick up trucks, rainbows and unicorns thrown in for good measure.

Feel free to ignore all of that though. We're used it now here on DS. Facts and 'geordielady' go as well together as oil and water.

The facts are there, you have the article it was a page spread in most tabloids. Of course if you decided to disbelieve it who cares. Just pointing out that gaga is not the fan friendly artist that she is made out to be and people who have not seen the article deserve to know.

Thanks for promoting Taylor in a gaga thread, of course Taylor would never stoop to this but of course she is not an attention seeking fake. Guess the response gaga got from the press was exactly what she wanted to achieve, just sad that its at the fans and their parents expense.

1. "Gaga xmas present range slagged off by her fans"

No reason to believe any of those people were fans. In fact they don't look like they are at all.

2. The "article" is pointing out how expensive the stuff is.

Neglects to mention the range of prices available. There's a lot of affordable items.

3. "Gaga is not the fan friendly artist that she is made out to be"

How does this prove that? Some fans can't afford a 20 quid t-shirt from the merchandise stall, are those artists non-fan friendly too? Some fans are wealthy, some are not. She has catered for the spectrum. Plus, as pointed out, this wasn't specifically for the fans. It's a Barneys store for Barneys customers.

Well she (Ms G) has managed to wind the right wing bible bashes up so she has just clocked up a couple of 'like' points from me.

As it is obvious nobody is being held at gun point and being told to buy these items, this all amounts amounts to another slow news day over at the Daily Sl*g. Is'nt it New Years Eve yet?

Guys, chill... it's only georgielady... Off out for a monthly excursion away from dwelling in a cave listening to her Taylor Swift to slag of Lady GaGa.

There's nothing to see here.

As the article says FANS slagged it off as well as the various groups who dislike gaga. Also reviewers on an independant consumer group slagged the stuff as well.
But of course the whole thing was clearly set up as a publicity stunt so gaga achieved what she obviously set out to do and that is to get people talking about her. Guess she is not that bothered annoying her fans if it gets her in the papers.

Surely no one listens to Lady Gaga seriously. It's all fun. The only ones that take her seriously are those with confidence problems or other problems dealing with..........various aspects of their life, you know what i mean. This is all just publicity. It doesn't mean anything.

What about the people who actually liked it? What about the countless other GaGa products that can be found in other stores.. This is just one range of GaGa products, everything has it critics, unfortunately this range got picked up on by the press and the people who disliked it got first in line to give their views on the stuff. Point is consumers dislike the product, they don't dislike GaGa. She probably signed a contract to front the brand, she wouldn't of chose the prices.

irrelevant reply 2k11. You really are delusional, and everyone knows it. You're laughable.
