sorry if this seems rude but... not everyone is going to have the same taste in music and like the same artists as you. everybody has different opinions :-)
I don't talk about Gaga with real life friends, they never get her, and it always makes me feel so bad cause its like, if they didnt accept ME instead, like if they were talking shit of me,not just because i love Gaga but because in fact i have so many things in common with her, she is like me, so when ppl talk bad about her, they talk bad about me. And it hurts. Im just a passionate All Arts lover freak geek with artist dreams, who is very diverse in everything & different. Negative critics towards her is pretty much how they would think of me,if i was a famous artist. I hate to feel rejection, more coming from long life friends that are supposed to know me. In fact they dont know me, & i cant be totally free in front of them, if i cant share my love for Gaga & Art, cause they wont get it
