Indeed. Gaga seems to have worked too hard over the last few years imo. Looks like her body's telling her to take time out and slow the hell down. Also, time out and living life is often good for the quality of new material in the future.

Good luck to her .

Maybe the younglings are less sturdy than in the olden days? The quality of food and water ain't what is used to be.

I wouldn't walk across the street to see her for free but I wish her good health nonethless.

None of them can sing lol. Gaga had a nice (expensive) teacher that taught her how to sing , which Madonna didn't have lol. Gaga is a good pianist though. Madonna is a better artist than Gaga.

Yup.

Hadn't the girl been going nonstop since she debuted? And I just read today that she's releasing a new album later this year.

Nah, she still puts on a great show and is in peak shape... She'll be aroubd for a while yet.

The irony is that the 'little monsters,' had been making cracks about Madonna breaking her hip.

Considering she had the highest grossing tour of 2012, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

why is Madonna being discussed in this thread?

yeah clearly there is nobody interested in her anymore. Plus she is over 50 and a woman! How dare she continue??!!

I remember someone asking Prince about the grueling "Musicology" tour schedule. He said, "I can either play a concert and earn $500,000 or I can take a night off and sleep. I'll sleep when the tour is over!"

Now, it looks like you can substitute the "$500,000" with "$3,000,000". How could anyone turn down a $3,000,000 night?

Not a fan of hers but just wanna say she can sing and there's nothing wrong with getting a teacher to learn how to sing. No one's born all perfectly talented. If she took expensive singing lessons to improve her vocals sounds like she only did what exactly she should've done so I give her props for that. I think wanting to constantly improve your talent and taking good care of it is even more important than how naturally talented you are anyway. For instance look at Alicia. It's obvious she hasn't grown vocally throughout the years at all and it's pretty disappointing.

Damn, I wish her the best but I have tickets for ATL March 11th! http://www.cnn.com/2013/0...index.html

I love and adore everything about Lady Gaga.

The fact that she is young and makes so many over-the-top embarassing moments for herself that she will look back at and cringe, makes it even better.

Which artists have not done really stupid things in their youth? Prince's ENTIRE media circus and interviews around UTCM were hilariously cringeworthy.

Gaga, if she continues along her path and grows, will be a force to be reckonned with for years to come. Her albums are stellar pop albums, and she can do something many pop artists can't---SING LIVE.

I wish her the best, and hope she gets better and am looking forward to ARTPOP when it is released.

Like her or hate her--her fanbase is too large and too entrenched for her to be a passing fad.
