Lady GaGa Marks Herself Down!

Filed under: Music Minute > Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa knows exactly what's going on in the world and that's why she plans on bringing each and everyone a little bit of affordable joy by releasing a reasonably-priced, standard version of her new album, The Fame Monster.

"In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album," Gagita said in a statement. "I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn't need The Fame."

The lower-cost version of the album is priced at $9.99, allowing those who are feeling the heat of the recession to purchase the Monster.

"We may have an economy, but music has no economy," continued the Lady. "I will release four or more singles from The Fame Monster, tour the world with the Monster Ball Tour and most importantly, I insist on honoring my fans with an affordable new album, an album that is as loyal to them, as they have been me."

Such a gracious Gaga!

      i LOVE dance in the dark. its my fav gaga song ever!!! the new tracks are amazing!



    2. 2

      its not really a sophomore album when its just a re released album with a few new songs.



    3. 3

      I used to hate Lady Gaga but everyday I seem to love her more and more. Next Madonna for sure!



    4. 4

      God please stop her lol Just dance was by far her best song, everything is tooooo weird right now and its just way too much, there comes a time when artistic vision and just plain crazy collide, prime example



    5. 5

      WHOA! Holy shit! A $10 cd? Christ that's so gracious of her indeed! Now I can afford to pay rent instead of shelling out the money for her new EP!

      Here's the thing people, if you cannot find or purchase an album or CD for less than $10 new, then you're not trying hard enough, and you deserved to be getting shafted constantly by the record companies.

      This rocks! I was really worried there for a bit when it just seemed like things kept getting added to The Fame Monster, I just envisioned the price tag going up and up. I don't need all the extras, just the music to be happy, so I'm glad there will be a version I can afford. Thanks GaGa!



    7. 7

      2 bit album for a 2 bit scrag



    8. 8

      isnt that the same price as every other album



    9. 9

      Next she'll be giving them away just you like did with your tour tickets.



    10. 10

      love her! :)



    11. 11

      it's too dark and scary.i would have nightmares that there really is a ga ga out there somewhere

      Godga yes

      I love Cisus too.



    13. 13

      wait 2 months and it will be $3 on amazon or do the smart thing and dont buy it at all and buy something good instead



    14. 14

      Noah Biorkman is a 5 year old boy who is in his last stages of neuroblastoma cancer after a 2 1/2 year battle. His family is celebrating Xmas next week and all he wants are Xmas cards. Let's see how many we can get to him from all over the world, PLEASE ;) His address is 1141 Fountain View Circle, South Lyon, MI 48178. PLEASE REPOST. thank you, everybody.



    15. 15

      you do know she has no control over the price anyway..



    16. 16

      Thank goodness! I read that the Fame Monster was going to include so many things, including a lock of her hair?!, and was worried that this album would cost a pretty penny. $9.99 sounds perfect. Thanks for looking out, Signora GaGa!



    17. 17

      In other words, she wants people to buy it - "Bad Romance" is stalling.



    18. 18

      haha perez honestly, any other artist said that you'd say they were worried it wouldnt sell so they lowered the price. your getting annoying when it comes to lady suck alot.

      £$9.99 is the normal price for an album, so it not really trying to make it affordable.

      Re: MARSHYMAR – I was thinking the same! Doesn't the majority of all bands sell their album for $9.99 at Walmart(or other store) during the first week of their release?
      BTW, I still think that's quite expensive for a re-release with just a few extra tracks. She could've atleast thrown in an exclusive DVD and then sold the CD for the same price instead.

      Smart move. Who needs to buy a second copy of The Fame anyway? Just give us the new songs. I think it's stupid that it took her that long to realize that she had enough material for a whole new album.

    21. SSTAV says – reply to this


      21

      Love love love her.
      TOO MUCH.



    22. 22

      OK! I give up! She's truly "The Next Madonna" the world has been looking for. Of course there will only be one Madonna and until she retires, she will always be the Queen, but Lady Gaga is OK. She can be cool sometimes and the fact that she is so confidant in her work makes me happy that if there is one thing she got from Madonna it's hard work and a lot of creativity can go along way when you just have ambition and take chances.



    23. 23

      10 bucks; good job, GaGa



    24. 24

      he who said beauty is in the inside and not the outside hasnt failed



    25. 25

      yeah, but when lily allen's album is out for a low price you call it a bomb, you're a hypocrite



    26. 26

      Re: zumieb – You know Bad Romance is already in the Top 10, right?



    27. 27

      Re: SF90 – It isn't "just a few" new tracks, there are 8. Most cds have only 10 songs on them.



    28. 28

      LMAO - more like making it cheap since it won't sell otherwise.



    29. 29

      Re: twi-addict – Amen to that~ and I love Madonna!



    30. 30

      Re: peachesTaylor – That's what I was just thinking!
      But I



    31. 31

      $10??? Fuck that, Ill download it FOR FREE like everybody else with a brain. Seriously, does she really think she's being generous offering a few new tracks for that amount?

      Its a quick xmas cash in and we all know it!



    32. 32

      It's still overpriced crap. 100% schtick, 0% talent.



    33. 33

      Uggggg, shut the fuck up already. She is such a self important bitch and half of the things she says don't make any sense. "It's all about me, I'm a monster and I'm creating my inner sense of fame." BLAH BLAH BLAH. . . GO AWAY ALREADY!



    34. 34

      "four or more singles"…. Yikes..:S



    35. 35

      what an annoying bitch…. can't wait till she becomes a flop.



    36. 36

      Re: Sylvesterr – I know! That's probably what it was like when Madonna was new…"I'm releasing six more singles and just shot the next two videos, I plan on going on a world tour and I'm also starring in a new movie…what else…Oh yeah, I'm releasing another ten albums after that…" LOL. She reminds me of Madonna when she was about to release Like A Virgin and go on her first headlining tour and star in Desperately Seeking Susan"…I bet many people were like "damn, thought she was gonna be a one hit wonder"…28 years later…The Material Girl is still here. Madonna will probably outlast Lady Gaga too.



    37. 37

      If this was Mariah or Whitney or anybody but Gaga, he'd be SHRIEKING about how the price discount shows the record's a HUGE FLOP!!! lolz



    38. 38

      She is ALREADY becoming a flop. FACT -every single after Poker Face has done progressively WORSE than the last. FACT- she cannot sell out Arenas, only small obscure venues. FACT- her latest release bellyflopped on the charts. After only 1 week in the top ten, the song is sinking like a stone and is soon to be out of the top 20. The record company is skeeered. The album will FLOP.



    39. 39

      Anyone else does this and they're desperate…Gaga does it and she's "gracious." You'd think she was a 9 inch cock the way you shove her down our throats.



    40. 40

      Chandler is wrong, and outdated. Bad Romance has fallen out of the top 10 and is now #18 with a cement block tied to it. It's OVER for GaGa.



    41. 41

      perez what the hell you fuckin hypocrite, if this was anybody else you'd be making fun of them by now for cutting down price because "they aren't able to sell". i love gaga, and i do enjoy your posts most of the time, but sometimes i think you're a real fucker.



    42. 42

      She stole that Hair from NYC night life celebrity Kenny Kenny! Its on his single cover Stiletto Kick Back!! Don't try it missy! I get it!



    43. 43

      This is such BS! Others have done it and not been called gracious. Would she really had done this if everyone BUT Perez didn't bitch bout the rerelease?



    44. 44

      mafdRe: goodtasteishardtofind – next madonna i think not lady gaga will not be around that long



    45. 45

      lol making it more affordable? maybe she realized that no one's going to buy it if it's above 10 bones. that's even a bit expensive. and why buy it. PIRATE THAT SHIT!



    46. 46

      GaGa is the best! She always thinking about the fans.



    47. 47

      obviously a marketing ploy! and how can people say she is the next madonna. she will never be the next madonna. everything she is doing, madonna has already done. there will never be a next madonna because madonna broke sexual taboos, there was a major social/political reason for madonna's sexual revolution in her music & videos. what's gaga got to fight for? the next musical revolution, i'm sorry, is going to come from a foreign artists, maybe latin america because of the whole immgration issue or an actual gay male artist obviously because of the gay issues. it can't be woman because as we all know it's a slight more acceptable for women to like woman than men to like men. and don't say it's not true when it's proven so all over the medis.



    48. 48

      Ha. In two or three years time you will be able to buy the skank GaGag herself for ten bucks. She'll be sellin that azz on your local street corner.



    49. 49

      she's pure genius



    50. 50

      it only has 8 new songs, so this is NOT a new album, regardless of what she says.

      also, if this was ANYONE else, ud say their album sucked cause they were alrady being discounted before the cd was even out!!



    51. 51

      It won't work. The album will still FLOP even if they gave it away. She is no longer interesting. Quite transparent actually. Dull and Boring.



    52. 52

      As much as I like the new songs it's not really a sophomore album. It is, as stated, an EP. I respect and love it as it is but I would have taken 6 more months to make it a full album. It looks like a rushed release to get that "sophomore trauma" out of the way. I know that it isn't but it does seem that way.



    53. 53

      To add to my previous post, now everyone will always have that feeling like "is this her 3rd or 2,5 album". I would not want that kind of confusion in my carreer.

      54

      Shes very kinda to her Fans and she understands them Love you Lady Gaga



    55. 55

      What a load of crap. She and her record company realized - after all of the criticism - that she was going to lose sales because a lot of people were not going to buy a deluxe edition of something they already have. Nice job of going out of her way to pat herself on the back. And if this thing can indeed stand on its own two feet, then why didn;t they just release it as an EP in the first place - or add tow more songs and release it as a full album?



    56. 56

      Economy my azz. This is flop waiting to happen. It will tank, just like her latest single. Bye Bye Gaga GooGoo.



    57. 57

      Do we still get some of her hair with the discounted album? I would not buy it otherwise. I am not fussy. I will even settle for some ass crack hair if that's all that's left.

      58

      is anybody so stupid to waste money on that bitch?



    59. 59

      You know being that it is a recession why not make people feel like there not being screwed into buying the same album twice, oh my bad with a few more songs. Lets not be lazy people, i mean i know she is busy but you shouldnt consider it a sophomore album if it has the same damn title. epicly weak



    60. 60

      enuff already…



    61. 61

      Re: china – Not too many obviously. Judging by her pathetic sales, the actual numbers reveal she's NOTHING but hype.



    62. 62

      This is an official sophomore SLUMP. From this, she will never recover.



    63. 63

      Class act, Gaga! I love her!



    64. 64

      I absolutely love this biatch! I love how unique she is and how wonderfully talented she is!



    65. 65

      SO THEN PEREZ…IF SHE CONSIDERS THIS TO BE HER 2ND ALBUM…YOU CANT COME OUT WITH "5 NUMBER 1S OF A DEBUT" IF BAD ROMANCE GOES TO NUMBER 1.
      HAHAHA RAGING FOR YOU PEREZ



    66. 66

      Research GaGa symbolism. Do yourself a favor and find out what she REALLY stands for. Look it up.



    67. 67

      She should be worshipped



    68. 68

      This is so kewl of Lady GaGa!

      Mika is adding to his current album in 2010.

      Both Mika & Lady GaGa are into something new & really good for the fans!!

      Kudos!!



    69. 69

      She looks like Aleister Crowley in that photo. Hmm…wonder why?
