Lady Gaga Wants Out of The Music Industry
SXSW keynote speaker Lady Gaga raised eyebrows when she said the she would rather quit music than be forced to create songs like Katy Perry!
Ouch, the claws are out.
The “Applause” singer delivered her keynote speech, which addressed a wide range of topics including a difficult year and an underperforming new album.
Gaga said:
“I’m very proud… I’m held to such an insane standard, and it’s almost like everybody forgets where the music business is now.”
CelebNMusic247.com was shocked to her that she’d rather quit music than compromise her talent.
She adds:
“I refuse to compromise and allow my talents to be monetized to the point that I don’t want to be here anymore.”
“I will stop, I will quit, I will retire from the commercial market if I have to do something other than be myself because if I can’t be myself in this moment, then everything I have said to my friends since the beginning will be a total lie. Then what? I’ll be myself until I have to make money to sustain a luxurious lifestyle, and then I change, right? No, I’ll be myself till they f*cking close the coffin so that you can all be yourselves.”
