    Really?

    Sometimes MSIG can in fact be a BUTT HOLE. Sometimes he says the WORST things at the WORSE times. And he says it so nonchalantly, like it means nothing that he will probably upset people.

    He's danish!!!!! It's not his fault!!!! (and I mean this in a good way)

    so seriously give him a break

    This article really nails down what Gaga is all about and how she is running a cult-like stanbase based on LIES

    It's an amazing reading in full if you wanna give it a go here's the link: http://www.huffingto..._b_1699762.html

    But an excerpt:

    To most of us, Lady Gaga is a talented musician with a great (and sadly under-utilized,) voice, whose act is one half catchy, sublimely dumb pop songs and one half a postmodern kitchen-sinking of references to other works. To the faithful, she is a purveyor of capital-A art who also happens to be their very best friend. She has "artistically eclipsed," Madonna and everyone else, really, through this robotic regurgitation. This irrational, personal bond is a great comfort to many kids who aren't hearing loving messages anywhere else, but can also lead some to engage in unfortunate behavior.

    Lady Gaga has famously launched an

    anti-bullying campaign, but her fans have racked up a pretty long list of bully victims in just two and a half albums' time. Gaga fans forced Boy George to temporarily abandon Twitter after a barrage of often homophobic and sometimes violent messages. Adele incurred their wrath, mostly expressed via weight-shaming, simply for selling more records than Mother Monster. Gaga fans also felt compelled to inform Kelly Osbourne that she was fat, "looked like" she had AIDS and suggested she kill herself after she criticized Gaga's choice to skip the Grammy red carpet. A vendetta against Katy Perry even received the rare honor of encouragement from camp Gaga after she dressed as a mermaid -- which was totally Gaga's idea, you know. No word on how Bette Midler, who also did not invent mermaids but has dressed as one basically every show of her entire career, feels about that one. And forget about Team Lil' Kim -- it's the Lady Gaga fans who chase Nicki Minaj out of malls, claiming she "ripped Lady Gaga off"... Somehow.

    That last one is important. Take a moment to watch that video and you'll see why so much invective is hurled at Madonna -- and many others -- by Gaga fans. "She stands for all of us," that guy we all hope Lady Gaga does not stand for says as he chases Minaj out the door.

    Minaj didn't do anything to Gaga, of course, let alone to her fans. It's merely that some are so invested in the myth of Gaga that any similarity to Mother Monster is threatening to their sense of self -- no matter who did it first. This is especially problematic because, as an artist, Lady Gaga is essentially a human Tumblr account, a hauntological soup of a woman who recycles -- but rarely re-purposes -- whatever happens to catch her eye. That's fine, of course. It is impossible for anyone to be interesting without beinginterested, and Gaga is no exception. The reality just doesn't fit the narrative of the brilliant, inventive artiste that the Church of Gagatology has built. That is, by its nature, threatening to some people.

    In short, it is unsurprising that when Madonna acknowledged -- and dared to criticize -- the similarities, a million Lady Gaga fans took the web to brand her Satan. (It should be noted that even a million would be just one in 52 people who "like" Gaga on Facebook, or only one in 23 people who have actually purchased one of her albums.)

    It is surprising, however, that so many in the media have bought the "old singer goes after young threat," narrative being perpetuated. For anyone keeping score, a list of bigger threats to Madonna's sales and chart record supremacy would include Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and, yes, even Rihanna. But, then, it seems most of these people really don't know pop history. If they did, they'd know that when people start hatin' on Madonna, Madonna doubles down.

    This persistent ageism when we talk about Madonna now should be disturbing to anybody who plans to live to middle age. When she was 30, it was rare that a story about her noted her age. When she was 40, it started to pop up. Now, you're more likely than not to see it mentioned. Her latest album was met with

    solid reviews, had the strongest first-week sales of the year (so far, there will probably be better,) and was number one in 50 countries before it was even released. Her latest tour is doing phenomenally in spite of a huge spike in ticket cost. But the salient point, we are told time and again, is that she's 54. She's washed up, done for, you see, because no matter how successful she is, older women are worth less than younger ones.

    I cant get the a screenshot cus the source of the post is the little monsters web page and Im not a member obviously but this is the direct quote Gaga said today to her fans:

    You are so right. I'm sorry for Gaga having this kind of fans. Maybe she is to blame though

    She pushes them to do it, it's like a cult, I am in another forum which is about music in general and there are lots of monsters so when gaga farts theres a thread so I know whats happening around her even when I dont follow her and Today she went on a chat room on her littlemonsters web page and she was chatting with the fans and randomly she said something along this lines:

    'Is it weird that when you Google Madonna you get a bunch of things about Swastikas, Nazis, Guns and Lady Gaga. Pop culture is weird'

    Of course that was a backhanded hypocrite slap at Madonna trying to imply that she has the only way that she can get people to talk about her is with that

    Let me find you guys the screenshots of the chat!

    So the munsters are to blame for that big red bar under the video? Don't they have anything better to do?

    Monsters are mainly preteens and in general they are outcasts and freaks without lives outside the internet

    Given their demographic they have much influence and power (and time) to bash anything Madonna related in the internet

    Sadly, people who don't know about the ongoing campaigns of the monsters believe that the negativity is a faithful reflection of the general public's feelings towards M

    Well why so many negative votes? And plus my country is already collapsed but proud

    Hey I love Greece and your people, just been to Nafplio

    But her intentions were right she was trying to say the problem is in the governments

    I cant' stop thinking how much Brahim has inspired the Le Pen video and this speech, seeing that he is a minority living in France he must have experienced racism first hand

    The lesson on France to the French was cringe. Do you REALISE? Do you KNOW? do you UNDERSTAND? Yes, Madonna, they're French

    But FUCK ME that ending was awesome!

    If people are booing, I kinda understand. It's the kind of show she used to do for free.

    The show was flawless and the excitement was peaking during the last 2 songs, if she had just done Like a Prayer and Celebration everyone would have left happy
