Well, like so many other things, I don't think you can generalize. I love Gaga, and since I'm broke I was thrilled that Amazon offered her CD for a buck. I love it, it's been on replay since I bought it. I love Gaga less when she's talking, so I've just resolved to stop clicking on articles where she pontificates about her art and it makes it easy to keep loving her music LOL. ETA: I know she gets some criticism here, and I usually disagree with it in my head, but I don't stan her like I do Adam so I don't normally feel the compunction to jump into those conversations. Maybe I'm not the only one? You're not the only one. I like her music a lot, eventhough some of it sounds exactly like Madonna's. [NOTHING like my obsession with Adam, however!] |

I love that purple picture. I tried this afternoon to make it a background on my g-mail but it didn't show up. If anyone has some hints, please let me know. I followed the instructions and my old background was not there so I know something changed.

Adam is prettier and (heresy for Freddie fans) sings betterer. Adam sings just as well but not better IMO but he's def prettier I'll agree with that  I thought so too, until I pulled out my Queen CD. Hadn't listened to it in quite some time. What a surprise I got. Adam, IMO, is much better than Freddie. |

Better tone and more control. The posters at DDD seem to think he's better. So now we just have to ask-- cassie, what do you think? |

It will be interesting to see what her second week sales are without the giant discount to help her out. With Amazon losing $3.2 million and selling $440K with the 99cent sale, I doubt they will do that again. Gaga wanted bragging rights. She is projected to sell 1 million the first week, so she can compete with Taylor Swift and a few others. What is sad, is that when all is said and done, when they are quoting stats in some article in the future or on billoard, the price will never enter the picture, only the 1 million sales of the first week. She is cunning as a fox and can afford to be cunning becasue this will generate tour tickets. I am no longer Gaga's fan. She steals too much from other artists and has become so full of herself. Read an article today in the latest Rolling Stone magazine issue Katy Perry and Robyn, both will be touring together soon. KP is another one who has become too big for her britches. Billboard has very clearly separated the Amazon units from the rest of Gaga's sales in their reports. She set sales records without these $.99 sales -- which only occurred in the US. Amazon decided to do this campaign, not Gaga or her label. AMazon is promoting their new music cloud service. I do not think they expect to sell 550K units and bring down their servers, but they knew it was a 1 million unit week for this album. At $3.2 million the Amazon campaign cost less than a small TV campaign. They probably got 200.000 new customers from this campaign - that is only $16/customer. Katy Perry has 4 consecutive #1 international hits. Why shouldn't she tour? And this is a great tour slot for Robyn who is not that well known in the US. I think that Katy has kept it pretty real -- in spite of her success. |
