Facts about every track on ARTPOP: Aura - Originally this song was titled “Burqa”, and since the beginning Gaga wanted it to be the lead single of the album, but her label rejected it, which lead her into leaked it online by a fake name of Boris, as a revenge. Venus - This was Gaga’s first song that she fully produced (with a minimal co-production of a producer named Madeon). This song actually was supposed to be the second single of the album, and to also have a music video which would start an ARTPOP trilogy. The music video never got released. G.U.Y. - The intro voice that u hear isn’t Gaga. It’s actually a friend of her, who worked in her creative team named Sonja Durham, who unfortunately passed away. Also Gaga has explained that the “Please Retweet” means basically having sex, since, for her, the symbol looks like the number 69 in arrows. Sexxx Dreams - This song isn’t about cheating. It’s about having sex dreams about someone else while being in bed with another. Gaga said the inspiration for the song came with her private chef, who was gay, and every morning by breakfast would joke about having sex dreams about her. Also this song was one of the first choices (next to AURA) to be the lead single of ARTPOP. Jewels N’ Drugs - Lady Gaga has revealed this may be her favourite song of the album. And the producer of the song (DJ white shadow) revealed Lady Gaga came with the idea for it, when on a tour bus she asked her ex-MUA for the drugs, and her MUA gave her a bracelet, and she said “I don’t want the Jewels, I want the drugs”. MANiCURE - This song has very meanings. As the title says “Man I Cure”. It’s about manicuring your body, your spirit, and your mind. Basically she’s saying she wants to catch someone and get laid with them. Do What You Want - This song started as a solo song. But DJ white shadow (the producer) told Gaga if she wanted R. Kelly in. Since she was lots of nervous to be doing her first R&B song she loved the idea. After the allegations she dropped and deleted the song completely of every platform and every physical discs and stood by the victims side. And yes, Gaga’s inspiration for this song was the media backlash that she was receiving for her gaining weight. ARTPOP - Gaga titled this song the Swan song of the album. It was the first song she worked on for the album, and actually she wanted this song to go nowhere production wise. She says, she didn’t touched the song for a long time, and didn’t felt the need to be re-doing it. As she said, she didn’t want the “corporate world to control artists”. Let artists stick with their original ideas. Swine - This song is about Gaga’s traumatic sexual assault by an unidentified producer who was 20 years older than her, when she was only 19. This song is kind of a liberation to her. She screams and squeals throughout the whole song. The song is meant all this way, for people to feel discomfort and disgust, just like a victim of sexual assault feels. Donatella - This song is about being a fearless woman and not caring about what people say about you. She mentions and gives theme to the song of Donatella Versace, who is a friend of hers, and that she compares a lot to. Donatella has said she loved the song. Fashion! - This song was a long well waited collaboration for both Gaga and Will.i.am. He is actually the one who is making the french vocals. Mary Jane Holland - Basically Mary Jane Holland is a whole character she creates for this song inspired by when she was at Amsterdam, and died her hair brown, since she felt that her blondness belonged to the world, and it didn’t felt like her anymore. And she went out on the city, got weed and drunk at clubs, and felt this comfort she hadn’t felt for a long time. Also this song was actually thought out in Amsterdam. Dope - The first version of this song was called “I wanna be with you”, and had a whole different meaning. It was about how after she broke her hip during her tour, and she had to cancel her tour, she felt she disappointed her fans, so this was a love letter to them. It is said that the label didn’t liked it and thought the song was too childish, so she re-wrote it, and talked about her addiction to Marijuana after she broke her hip instead. Gypsy - Supposedly this song was inspired by her ex-fiancé, Taylor Kinney, when she met him. She said she felt lonely and then a boy came to her and introduced her to all his friends. He told Gaga he wanted to see the world with her and they made love all day. Applause - This is about the time Gaga broke her hip, and was in a lot of pain, and it was the applause of the fans that made her keep going. Also, the applause that can be heard on the track was recorded from one of the dates of her Born This Way ball tour.
@@BethThereseReacts ur welcome! I appreciate so much everyone who reacts to this album. It’s such a legendary album, and has a very big depth into it. The whole era was such a mess back then. It was crazy.
ARTPOP was the most bizarre Gaga era, in terms of fashion. She really brought art to the pop world, every day we had 2 or 3 iconic looks and UNTIL THIS DAY I sometimes stumble upon looks I've never seen!!
Swine is actually about how Lady Gaga felt after being sexually assaulted, like the victim feels complete disgusted with themselves "pig inside a human body" refers to his abuser, she even have a live performance of this song where a person literally vomits on her, she meant by that performance that she had whole control over her body and that no one can make her feel more digusted/degraded than she herself. This album might look like a fun pop album on surface (the POP part of the album) but it actually has really deep and personal themes (the ART part)
Thematically, despite the soaring choruses and thumping electronic beats, ARTPOP was a collective of some of Gaga's darkest experiences + thoughts. She was mostly unhappy during this era, but I personally think this is one of her strongest projects. Nothing is ever unintended with LG, especially with ARTPOP I feel, as each song is exactly what it needed to be at that time of her life. You should check out the ARTPOP commentary she put out during a radio show when the record was released - there you can go on a deeper dive and find out what this masterpiece is truly all about. #JusticeForARTPOP
I remember as if it was yesterday: - She didn't want Applause as the first single, but her record kinda forced her; - Her performance of Applause in the VMAs would be a 15min theatrical sacrifice that included a lot of blood, because it was about sacrificing yourself for the media or something like that, but the VMAs didn't like the idea and she had to change it; - The second music video was going to be Venus and Do What U Want was released as a promotional single, but DWUW was waaay more successful than Venus in the charts so her record decided to make it a music video instead of Venus; - The video was finished, but then the controversies around R Kelly came out on the media and she couldn't release it (specially because in the video she was unconscious while R Kelly did things to her body); - Then we had like a 3 month gap waiting for the music video (that was never released) and she decided to make a short film to close the era. The record didn't want to invest in any more music videos for this album so she paid for everything herself; - There were A LOT of internal disagreements in her crew and her manager (that worked with her since the beginning) left her; - She said she made more than 50 songs for this album, so she was planning on releasing ARTPOP - Part 2 through an app that they created, but this never happened because the era ended sooner than expected :( Bare in mind: we had just gone through the BTW era, which had 5 music videos, so having only 2 in this era was really disappointing. We were hoping to have one for Venus, Donatella, Swine, Gypsy... This was a sad era for Gaga and she went years without even mentioning ARTPOP.
Just a fun fact id like to add. She actually intended to make an ARTPOP act ll. Last year the gay community made a petition for her to release it and it gained so much attention she tweeted about it. Something along the lines of “thanks it crazy how something that came from a dark time in my life could be so meaningful to so many”
The song ARTPOP is actually insane. One of the most unique songs I've heard, especially coming from a pop emperess (at the time) In the first verse, art is singing to pop (“Come to me, with all your glamour and cruelty / Just do the thing that you do, and I’ll undress you” - referring to the sexual nature of pop stars and pop music today). In the second verse, pop is singing to art (“Come to me, with all your subtext and fantasy / Just do the thing that you do, in a perverse hue” - making note of how contemporary art is widely misunderstood and even seen as “perverse” or stupid even though it's just the creator's "fantasy"). In the chorus, art and pop tell each other that they can belong together as one entity without separation or distinction. In other words, ARTPOP (one word). Not Art Pop, ArtPop, or Art-Pop. It's just so high concept wrapped in a mesmerizing beat served in the most delicate & strong way, a perfect mix. I've never heard anything like it EVER. Oh and don't even get me started on the lyric "Lovers' kites are flown on beaches for public sight" like why is that sentence so beautiful dawg why did I get chills down my spine just typing it?
if the fame + fame monster was about the rise and fall of fame and born this way being about political/human rights issues, artpop is a little bit of everything, a celebration of her past eras. very inspired by art, andy warhol, greek mythology & female sexual liberation. this album will forever have a special place in my heart, it was released at a very hard time in her career and even though it debuted at #1 it was received very badly by the media (the reason why she later transitions to a more vocal/stripped back album with joanne). ARTPOP is chaotic, campy & fun. i loved this reaction, i think you will love her album joanne.
also in sexxx dreams, that little raspy voice adlib answering her is supposed to represent her inner bad thoughts, that's why she sings "help me here" and her inner voice says "it was kinda nasty" she's battling her thoughts

Some details about this album. G.U.Y stands for Girl Under You, and then she says "you'll be my G.I.R.L" (Guy I Romance and Love) and people thinks she's talking about "switching roles" but she said it's just that she's a power bottom. Venus was supposed to be the 2nd single but her label switched it to Do What U Want. Aura was supposed to be the first single but the label didn't want it so Gaga leaked it on her biggest fan forum (and got banned from it) 😂 Dope was called I Wanna Be With You on early stages, she even performed it on iTunes and there's a studio version leaked. It's also beautiful, same melody, just different lyrics.
Hey Beth Therese! I just wanna say I really appreciate the humor and effort you put into your reactions! Glad you are enjoying your Lady Gaga journey as I have too!
ARTPOP is actually so complex. There are 3 themes, one is obviously art, the other is hybrid/coupling, the 3rd is Greek mythology. Sprinkled with her gaganess drug & fashion references. Hybrids: art & pop, each song is married to another song (except for the title track) ie: fashion/Donatella, GUY/Sexxxxdreams, Mary Jane Holland/Dope etc. In Greek mythology they had sculptures/art of the gods. The gods were named after planets (venus) and ancient Greek astrology refers to planets as travellers (gypsy).
Except Venus was the roman version of the goddess Aphrodite depicted in many classic paintings. But I understand, Venus is the most used term in this case
This era was heavily criticized because it’s experimental and different, maybe the message wasn’t clear like born this way, but saying it’s a flop just because it didn’t sold 1M copies in it’s first week like it’s predecessor ?? Hello this album was n1 on the BB200, and most importantly it was Gaga’s choice and ARTPOP is a fan favorite.. The era was planned to be perfect a HUGE promo budget one of the biggest ever to an album (around 22 million $) her manager left her in the middle of the era, they stopped the promotion of her second official single Do what you want with R.kelly because of his scandal.. and the label refused to give the album a chance, but yeah she changed her trajectory to sing jazz and a country/ soft rock album(Joanne) she did what she likes the most and A STAR IS BORN I’m sure you’ll love the album this was her huge comeback a masterpiece of an album. actually I would like to see you react to her live performances/music video.. not just Gaga but any other artist. ❤️
And she still did very HEAVY promotion for this album. I just think that since Applause wasn't that iconic as her previous leads, people just weren't that interested. It still had success.
When I stumbled upon your channel I legitimately was convinced you had like 200k subs, love your energy and voice! Your videos are very pleasant to watch 💖
Venus was supposed to be the 2nd single from this album but it was scrapped as Do what u want (which was just a promo single) did really well on the charts.
So here’s the thing, “Dope” is a strong song because it was made of pure depression, you can feel through the production, you can feel through her voice. I was 14 when this album came out and life was good so I used to be like “wtf is this song doing in this album? It’s so depressing”. Now years later I understand every single word from that, and yep, it’s beautiful. Seductive yet destructive a beautiful song indeed.
i love artpop, i also think my heart could beat with bricks and strings. This is so poetic. The experimental strength of edm is fantastic, it really takes me to a rave.
Omg Ok. First you're HILARIOUS! I love it! It's refreshing. I really don't know why I like watching people listening or watching other people and see their reaction but some people are just giving fake to have more views or are just boring as fuck. You girl are raw and SO funny I live for your reactions. I'm writing this at 14:11 i'm not even finished and i'm laughing to tears when I see your editing! And its actually the first time I don't mind a youtuber stopping a song! Im completly watching your stuff and subscribing right now! Cheers!🎉🥂
Just finishing from florence and the machine reaction now i’m diging all your video can’t sleep tonight haha thanks so much i watch alots of reactors but you are my new fav one 🙌🏻❤️ from thailand
The fact that you don’t like Mary Jane holland hurts me but also same cause I didn’t like it on my first listen but then I kept listening and I ended up loving it even more
Oh, my goodness! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed listening and watching your reaction. My favourite track (in the whole wide world) is Venus. The whole album is my go-to whenever I want to celebrate or get into a better mood…. Or remind myself why I love LG so much! Thanks for creating and sharing ✨
heyoooo Beth!! i've watched your ARTPOP video reaction like 1 month ago and since that I'm in love with your channel, i swearr. your content is so good to watch, your facial reactions are so funny, you're soooo charismatic and cute :( i'm still surprised that a channel that have a soooo good content isn't one of the most popular yt channels that talk about music. keep going girl!! ❤❤
Another thing about the R Kelly verse was that it fit sonically with the song but not meaning wise. I think it further confused people because he was talking about clubs and "getting naughty". I think it was right for gaga to remove it. I'm glad you listened to the Christina version though!
10:04 these facial reactions and the hand moves are THE MOST INTERESTING REACTION in all the video and only my opinion matters LOL. i've laughed a lot (btw MANiCURE is one of my favorite songs of ARTPOP)
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but Lady Gaga actually debuted DOPE at her iTunes Festival performance and it was called "I Wanna Be With U" but changed it for her album. Similar songs just a small change in lyrics
OMG we are thinking the same about Venus and G.U.Y and Applause is a fun song. Not a GaGa fan but she makes good songs that I love to :) Ow yeah Donatella love that song to
Hi Beth! Your Britney vids got recommended to me by the algorithm and now i'm working my way through your Gaga ones, it's super fun watching someone react to albums i've loved for so long! As just said, i've always loved ARTPOP, though i was never aware, until reading the comments, of all the trouble behind the scenes, namely; her management & label. It's crazy to me that they tried to dictate to Gaga what to do (because they want high sales) but their mismanagement caused the GP rep that it got when if they had just let Gaga do what she initially wanted to do then likely the album would have been more successful. 🙄
Artpop is my fav album by her I listened to it when it first came out as a teenager but I appreciate it more now as an adult yass venus is definitely one of the best songs on there I'd say 1.Applause 2. Venus 3.Guy 4. Aura 5.Swine 6. Artpop 7. Do what you want then the rest arent really my vibe lol the outfits really make it the best especially the venus seashell bra one gorgeous wavy dark blonde wig my fav look ever🔥🔥🔥
I swear I feel like it’s my album and the creators because every time I saw someone loving it I want to cry I’m so happy because she deserves so much more and this album is my life it’s my favorite album ever chill today because it’s not just about commercial it’s literally creativity speak your mind close your eyes listen the album and paint do something make your own painting in your mind you know what I mean this is what about Artpop is about create it’s about passion and free spirit is so spiritual I’m so connected to this so connected
Not you using my comment at the beginning🥺💖 lol Been waiting for this reaction!! ARTPOP is my fave album by her 🙌🏻 just wish her plans for this album and era went the way it was supposed to! She was going through so much during this era, mostly due to her manager and a lot of her team leaving her like right at the start of the era. So a lot of the plans for this era never came to fruition or the way they were supposed to 😔 Gaga really fell into a depression during this time. I think you’ll really enjoy Joanne! 💖 Loving this journey of yours!
This is the best album! My favourite song are... all the f#*k¿ songs! Thanks for reacts to this masterpiece from our mother monster. Love u from Argentina 🇦🇷
Also the first line in Aura "I killed my former and left her in the trunk on hwy 10" can also be the continuation of the storyline in the Telephone music video. So basically she k1ll3d Beyonce...also the production of Aura kind of gives the same vibe as the time period in Telephone music video with the cowboy sound
My bad about the ScheiBe pronunciation lol
It's German but she used a mixture of different languages for that one and made her own as a sign of power per se. And scheisse means 💩
@@91KP_SilentEchoes yass it's SHIT lmao
That was so funny. “Oh! That’s a reference to shiba!”. Love it 😄
Scheisse, it isn't a b sound.
Scheibe is another german word tho. 😂
@@BethThereseReacts Scheibe, Scheibe, be mine, your slice be mine…
artpop is so underrated, and venus is an actual masterpiece
Could not agree more. It’s the best song in the world 🌎
Are you ready for Act 2 next year? ❤🎉

Facts about every track on ARTPOP:

Bare in mind: we had just gone through the BTW era, which had 5 music videos, so having only 2 in this era was really disappointing. We were hoping to have one for Venus, Donatella, Swine, Gypsy...
This was a sad era for Gaga and she went years without even mentioning ARTPOP.
She also already did "dying at the hands of the media" during her Paparazzi performance. People would have discredited it as self-plagerism.
acually gaga wrote 70 - 100 songs for Artpop
The VMAs wanted miley to be the main topic so they had to turn down gaga's idea

Aura was supposed to be the first single but the label didn't want it so Gaga leaked it on her biggest fan forum (and got banned from it) 😂
Dope was called I Wanna Be With You on early stages, she even performed it on iTunes and there's a studio version leaked. It's also beautiful, same melody, just different lyrics.

Hey Beth Therese! I just wanna say I really appreciate the humor and effort you put into your reactions! Glad you are enjoying your Lady Gaga journey as I have too!
thank you mary!!
I'm brazilian and i love your video, you speak everything super clearly, i love it. you're amazing.
omg thank you 🥺❤️
The tour for this album was so cool too!
ARTPOP is actually so complex. There are 3 themes, one is obviously art, the other is hybrid/coupling, the 3rd is Greek mythology. Sprinkled with her gaganess drug & fashion references.
Hybrids: art & pop, each song is married to another song (except for the title track) ie: fashion/Donatella, GUY/Sexxxxdreams, Mary Jane Holland/Dope etc.
In Greek mythology they had sculptures/art of the gods. The gods were named after planets (venus) and ancient Greek astrology refers to planets as travellers (gypsy).
whoaaa
Except Venus was the roman version of the goddess Aphrodite depicted in many classic paintings. But I understand, Venus is the most used term in this case
@@erikperhs_ Venus referred to both the goddess and the multiple art pieces (Venus de milo, birth of venus)
Venus and G.U.Y use heavy Greek mythology references.🔵
I’ve really enjoyed your Gaga journey so far!
thank you kevin!
this is the greatest artpop reaction of all time ive literally never subbed faster
16:17 naurrrr🤣🤣🤣 just letting you know your editing is appreciated.
thank you so much☺️☺️☺️
i love how you always love gaga! this album deserves all the recognition and love!! luv ur reactions!💓
thank you! 🙏🏻💗
I appreciate your editing so much omg
thank you!!!
This era was heavily criticized because it’s experimental and different, maybe the message wasn’t clear like born this way, but saying it’s a flop just because it didn’t sold 1M copies in it’s first week like it’s predecessor ?? Hello this album was n1 on the BB200, and most importantly it was Gaga’s choice and ARTPOP is a fan favorite.. The era was planned to be perfect a HUGE promo budget one of the biggest ever to an album (around 22 million $) her manager left her in the middle of the era, they stopped the promotion of her second official single Do what you want with R.kelly because of his scandal.. and the label refused to give the album a chance, but yeah she changed her trajectory to sing jazz and a country/ soft rock album(Joanne) she did what she likes the most and A STAR IS BORN I’m sure you’ll love the album this was her huge comeback a masterpiece of an album.
actually I would like to see you react to her live performances/music video.. not just Gaga but any other artist. ❤️
planning on reacting to her live!!!
@@BethThereseReacts Thank you 🙏🏻
And she still did very HEAVY promotion for this album. I just think that since Applause wasn't that iconic as her previous leads, people just weren't that interested. It still had success.
LOVED YOUR REACTION hahaha thanks for reacting to GAGA.
thank you!
Omg another great reaction from you we honestly are spoiled. This was so fun and Venus is a masterpiece iktr
When I stumbled upon your channel I legitimately was convinced you had like 200k subs, love your energy and voice! Your videos are very pleasant to watch 💖
wow thank you so much ❤️
Venus was supposed to be the 2nd single from this album but it was scrapped as Do what u want (which was just a promo single) did really well on the charts.
Also I’m so glad the Christina version of DWUW exists.
@@Gert-c2b SAME i’ve been revisiting it a lot this past week and it hits
So here’s the thing, “Dope” is a strong song because it was made of pure depression, you can feel through the production, you can feel through her voice. I was 14 when this album came out and life was good so I used to be like “wtf is this song doing in this album? It’s so depressing”. Now years later I understand every single word from that, and yep, it’s beautiful. Seductive yet destructive a beautiful song indeed.
I had such a good laugh watching
thank you BP
Venus at number one exactlyyy
ARTPOP is the opposite of pop art, bringing the art into pop culture
omg u deserve more recognition
thank you 🥺🥺🥺
i love artpop, i also think my heart could beat with bricks and strings. This is so poetic. The experimental strength of edm is fantastic, it really takes me to a rave.
ARTPOP is such an icon lady Gaga album, it’s like Gaga at her full level.
I never laughed so hard with the rollar coaster Omg I love you
I enjoy watching your your reactions 😩✨
thank you so much!!
ARTPOP is criminally underrated
RIGHT
Omg Ok.
First you're HILARIOUS!
I love it! It's refreshing. I really don't know why I like watching people listening or watching other people and see their reaction but some people are just giving fake to have more views or are just boring as fuck.
You girl are raw and SO funny I live for your reactions. I'm writing this at 14:11 i'm not even finished and i'm laughing to tears when I see your editing!
And its actually the first time I don't mind a youtuber stopping a song!
Im completly watching your stuff and subscribing right now!
Cheers!🎉🥂
VENUS IS A MASTERPIECEEE my favorite one also since 2013
Just finishing from florence and the machine reaction now i’m diging all your video can’t sleep tonight haha thanks so much i watch alots of reactors but you are my new fav one 🙌🏻❤️ from thailand
you should see her concert during this album cycle on youtube. ARTPOP is best performed live in my opinion.
The fact that you don’t like Mary Jane holland hurts me but also same cause I didn’t like it on my first listen but then I kept listening and I ended up loving it even more
ok listennn it’s grown on me
artpop is a force majeure, a masterpiece, listening to this album is like traveling between parallel universes, the definition of good music
you're going to love joanne!
Oh, my goodness! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed listening and watching your reaction. My favourite track (in the whole wide world) is Venus. The whole album is my go-to whenever I want to celebrate or get into a better mood…. Or remind myself why I love LG so much! Thanks for creating and sharing ✨
OH MY GOD yes, this album was everything to me - I first discovered and fell in love with gaga over G.U.Y.
heyoooo Beth!!
i've watched your ARTPOP video reaction like 1 month ago and since that I'm in love with your channel, i swearr. your content is so good to watch, your facial reactions are so funny, you're soooo charismatic and cute :( i'm still surprised that a channel that have a soooo good content isn't one of the most popular yt channels that talk about music. keep going girl!! ❤❤
thank you so much 😭❤️ i really appreciate that!!!
Mary Jane holland is one of those songs that just takes your breath away 🥵
it grew on me :)
The rollercoaster🎢 clip is SENDING me🙆🏼♂️
omg both of my comments got featured😭❤❤ I'm glad you enjoyed this album and I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction #JusticeForARTPOP
Hey Beth! Would you be willing to react to Christina Aguilera's discography or, at least, Stripped and Back to Basics??
I think you would enjoy it!
i love ur reactions queen keep it up❤️😍xoxo
thank you 😍
Not the roller coaster lmao had a good laugh
Another thing about the R Kelly verse was that it fit sonically with the song but not meaning wise. I think it further confused people because he was talking about clubs and "getting naughty". I think it was right for gaga to remove it. I'm glad you listened to the Christina version though!
10:04 these facial reactions and the hand moves are THE MOST INTERESTING REACTION in all the video and only my opinion matters LOL. i've laughed a lot (btw MANiCURE is one of my favorite songs of ARTPOP)
Your edits🤣🤣 i love it!
Fun fact: She tweeted that "Love me love me, please retweet" was inspired because "retweet [button] looks like 69 in arrows"
Forever my favorite album period. If this album came out today it would have been more appreciated😭💖
girl the Demo Version of Aura is the true MASTERPIECE. This album has been my favorite since its release in 2013... lol MASTERPIECE.
ARTPOP IS ICONIC
I love ARTPOP but the true understatement is your video edits. Lmaooo here for it.
thank you!!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but Lady Gaga actually debuted DOPE at her iTunes Festival performance and it was called "I Wanna Be With U" but changed it for her album. Similar songs just a small change in lyrics
Love to see Adele reacting to Lady Gaga
OMG we are thinking the same about Venus and G.U.Y and Applause is a fun song.
Not a GaGa fan but she makes good songs that I love to :)
Ow yeah Donatella love that song to
Hi Beth! Your Britney vids got recommended to me by the algorithm and now i'm working my way through your Gaga ones, it's super fun watching someone react to albums i've loved for so long!
As just said, i've always loved ARTPOP, though i was never aware, until reading the comments, of all the trouble behind the scenes, namely; her management & label. It's crazy to me that they tried to dictate to Gaga what to do (because they want high sales) but their mismanagement caused the GP rep that it got when if they had just let Gaga do what she initially wanted to do then likely the album would have been more successful. 🙄
i love your all videos about gaga
Also listen to “ A star is born “
Keep growing!💗And thanks for this funny and awesome video😂💗
I needed it💗
thank you so much!
I looooove your gaga reactions
thank you so much!
Artpop is my fav album by her I listened to it when it first came out as a teenager but I appreciate it more now as an adult yass venus is definitely one of the best songs on there I'd say 1.Applause 2. Venus 3.Guy 4. Aura 5.Swine 6. Artpop 7. Do what you want then the rest arent really my vibe lol the outfits really make it the best especially the venus seashell bra one gorgeous wavy dark blonde wig my fav look ever🔥🔥🔥
I been waiting this for so looooooong I love it 😭❤ can`t wait for Joanne and A star is born reaction ❤ xoxo from argentina
I swear I feel like it’s my album and the creators because every time I saw someone loving it I want to cry I’m so happy because she deserves so much more and this album is my life it’s my favorite album ever chill today because it’s not just about commercial it’s literally creativity speak your mind close your eyes listen the album and paint do something make your own painting in your mind you know what I mean this is what about Artpop is about create it’s about passion and free spirit is so spiritual I’m so connected to this so connected
I never skip any of the songs in this album. That’s how good it was to me lol
This gave me so much life! Yass hunty,your spirit is awesome 👌 👏
thank you!!!
Not you using my comment at the beginning🥺💖 lol
Been waiting for this reaction!!
ARTPOP is my fave album by her 🙌🏻 just wish her plans for this album and era went the way it was supposed to! She was going through so much during this era, mostly due to her manager and a lot of her team leaving her like right at the start of the era. So a lot of the plans for this era never came to fruition or the way they were supposed to 😔 Gaga really fell into a depression during this time.
I think you’ll really enjoy Joanne! 💖
Loving this journey of yours!
Artpop is definitely made for us fans 💖
I love all lady Gaga albums ❤️😍
Gave this video a like just for the title 😌🔵 Hail to ArtPop!
YOUR EDITS I CAAAAAAAAANT. Subscribed!
thank you so much!!!!
This is the best album! My favourite song are... all the f#*k¿ songs! Thanks for reacts to this masterpiece from our mother monster. Love u from Argentina 🇦🇷
Just found your channel and immediately became obsessed
thank you🥺
Venus is literally my favorite Gaga song it's DIVINE
mary jane holland is like, her alter ego, that's why she said ''if could be mary jane holland tonight''
I noticed you appreciate those sort of electronic ballads artists make - you’d probably find Björk’s discography really interesting! ✨
Also the first line in Aura "I killed my former and left her in the trunk on hwy 10" can also be the continuation of the storyline in the Telephone music video. So basically she k1ll3d Beyonce...also the production of Aura kind of gives the same vibe as the time period in Telephone music video with the cowboy sound
IN ARTPOP WE STAAAANNNN
The song Artpop grows on you especially the more you have it stuck in your head lol.
Mary Jane Holland 😩💖💖💖
Justice for Gypsy!
Listen to it high!!
Not the censored version of the album cover!! 😂😂😂
i’m not tryna get kicked off youtube hahaha
