Amazon Hits iTunes Again With $0.99 Lady Gaga Album, Qualifies for Cloud Drive Storage Upgrade

Too bad she didn't stick to that. Ah well, I guess there's more money in the music business when you sell out........

She looks better as a brunette.

Two top performers at the moment are Gaga and Adele. They were not disimilar at one point. Why did one make it continuing with real music, the other had to turn into a teeny-bop nightmare? And the better writer (although not voice) is Gaga, most likely.

Leave it to Apple fans to be pissed off about low prices, but If it were Apple doing this lady caca promo it would be a different story

I think we'd have the exact same discussions, just the names of the people pro this move and anti this move would be reversed.

Woe the fan boys and anti-fan boys.

Musician, –noun
1. a person who makes music a profession, especially as a performer of music.

She writes all of her own songs. She sings live every time. She's a classically trained pianist and dancer. She endlessly tours, appears, and promotes her songs and brand. She plays instruments on stage. It's pretty safe to say that, regardless of if you buy the albums or listen to it on the radio, she's about 1000x the musician that most "artists" out there are. Who exactly do YOU listen to that you call a "musician?" :cool: That's why she made $90m last year and has fans lining up to get a photo with her (which she spend hours accommodating for people), and why you're here acting like YOU are too good for HER. Just sayin'.

+1 Like her music or not someone has to admit she is a very talented musician. (She got into Tisch school of arts at age 17!) Not to mention she spends a lot of her own money for her concerts.

She may not appeal to everyones taste (although she has many different types of songs than what you hear on the radio, the song Speechless is an example of this) but theres no denying the fact that she is great at what she does.

Pretty sure he's basing it on Apple fanboy ignorance. Just my two cents. Nothing to be scared of. Cloud storage is cloud storage. Believe it or not, some people hate apple and wouldn't use the service whether it was free or not. Sometimes I hate coming here and reading all the ignorant drivel.

I had to register to to comment on this post. The line (Cloud storage is cloud storage) caught my attention.

Lets check these items also
A cell phone is a cell phone
A music player is a music player
A tablet is a tablet

See all those items have changed the way all other companies development there devices. The OP was just stating Amazon is afraid of what iCould might be like.

Not my thIng but that is a steal. What an offer!

It is. I wouldn't buy this on Amazon or iTunes. I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing for free on Farmville and refused to do so.

I'm no GAGA fan but I am no hater either....posting something "crap", and then admitting you never heard it is dumb

Agreed.
 
like her music or not, she is extremely talented and has upped the ante on "pop" music.

Talent is talent, no matter the genre.
 
Does anyone know if the album sold by Amazon is the censored version?

Even though it's only $1, I don't want edited music...

The second review on Amazon's site:

the entire album for only 99 cents for the entire release date?!!! worth it! this has got to be one of the best decisions a record label has made to allow this good music to be available so cheap. the songs are very good. before you purchase you should be made aware that this version of the album is censored/edited. the song "government hooker" has f-words that have been bleeped out. other than that it's a definite keeper even at full price.

I don't really care about icloud or amazon cloud. I still love cd's, There are still great albums out there. Now Lady Pasta no thanks.

She is the smart one. People eat trash, so let's sell trash.
In the country I live in the only music that sells is pure junk (pimba), so if you want to make any money at all, it's junk or nothing:mad:.
 
+1 for Amazon. I know there are several people awaiting apples icloud but I for one would not want it. If it has the same slow speed that caused me to cancel mobile me it will be a failure.
 
Meh. Who cares about Lady Gaga? Now, if this was a Justin Bieber album, then everyone here would be excited.

Amazon is scared ****less about Apple's imminent release of iCloud. They know darn well that iCloud will blow Amazon cloud storage away so they are trying to get as many people on board as possible before the announcement. Good luck with that.

Highly doubt it. Amazon rule when it comes to the cloud market. Apple have so far shown that they have no idea what they are doing.

(Vote me down if you like...I couldn't give a flying Woz if you disagree)

I'll just add this here, as it seems relevant. lady gaga pre-gaga at nyu.

YouTube: video

The last line in that video was hilarious when that women said, "Norah Jones look out!" That just really shows how much she has changed her self to be popular. Makes her extremely unattractive tbh.
 
It's a tad ironic that some people brag on Apple saying they can do whatever they want because - who cared - they have 60+ billion in the bank. Things like Jobs can laugh all the way to the bank when the "haters" come out.

Regardless of how I feel about Lady Gaga (I like some songs and others not at all)- all I can say is - I'm sure SHE'S laughing all the way to the bank and doesn't care what her detractors say...
