Born This Way Continues Downward Spiral


Lady Gaga and Born This Way continues its dismal sales decline.
Poor Lady Gaga. Her saga of continued downward sales continues. In the fourth week of release for “Born this Way,” her latest release sold a mere 68,935 copies. That brings her to a total of 1,254,484–less, of course, the 440,000 copies that amazon gave away for 99 cents. If those are removed, the total is 854,484. That’s a lot of CDs, of course, no matter what the parameters. But with the amazon deal and no real second breakout single, “Born this Way” is quickly vanishing. This week it fell to number 4. I always like to contrast it with Adele’s “21″ album, which had a zero percent change last week and sold well over 100,000 copies. Lady Gaga also finished behind a child, Jackie Evancho. Why anyone wants to listen to an 11 year old sing classical music is beyond me, but that’s the story right now. In each of the last three weeks, Gaga has dropped about 40,000 units. This means that this week she could finish with around 25,000 copies sold. She has to be making big bucks from endorsements and touring because CD sales are not going to support her lavish lifestyle.

Looks like the little monsters are quickly abandoning their mother monster. And she’s a liar over on perez Hilton.com he was congratulating her because she claimed she sold over 5 million copies. She’s pathetic! First she was practically giving her album away for 99 cents, then she lied about album sales. She’s like in minute 14 of her 15 minutes of fame.

why is this news? ofcourse she will not sell as many now then when it was 0.99! the idea was to get it out there, and she did! clearly she was not trying to make a lot from it. her money is in all the sold out concerts she has.

The message GaGa sends out is a good one but I really do not feel she is genuine in the message she is sending out. I was a GaGa fan when she first came out with "just dance, poker face, love game, and I liked Bad romance" but then I felt like she started doing things just for attention and to get the gays on her side. I think she realized that when gay people embrace someone i.e. Bette Midler, Cher, Madonna, Britney, Liza they have really long careers so she decided to capitalize on that just for the fame not the message she’s delivering. If she was all about being who you are why did she have her teeth shaved down and what looks like other procedures if you look at what she used to look like. But I think she’s just in it for the fame she has been trying to get into the industry for a long time she was even on the sopranos tv series back in the day. Bottom line she’s fake.

It is so crazy how the internet can really pump up a sucker. No one really knows how to have face to face real contact with the average person anymore but what there ignorant azz do know how to do is to make racist remakes like that is all that there little brain is capable of doing. The internet gives a lot of people false identity but don't slip up too much and get jumpie enough to say those some words to someone else face because I can promise that it will not end well.
