Leslie Kee planning Lady GaGa x Ayu charity photoshoot / photo exhibition

[terra]

^^ Exactly
This idea is great but yea...

[toniayu]

^
^ me too ^_^

[kendelle]

Leslie's a great photographer, don't be paranoid that he'll take a bad picture!

I'm looking forward to it if it happens :3

[Rebirthia]

[Larien]

It is becoming a bit embarrassing.... Ah, well, on to the next project?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

if it's not meant to be now, it's just not meant to be

is not like it's their last chance to do something together lol

[Violently Happy]

I kind of think it's not going to happen... O_O

[ownsarai]

I'm not exactly thrilled about this idea to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I like GAGA enough, but I don't really want Ayu to be put into the same category as GAGA among Westerners who don't know who she is. Anyone who sees Ayu in a shoot with her will automatically think she's the GAGA of Japan...and that is so not the case. But eh, if its for charity and Ayu already said yes, then I guess it's really up to them. It's kind of strange (maybe even a bit rude) that GAGA's people haven't responded to the request. I'm thinking it may not happen.

They have more in common I thought so at first. Both have PVs that are stories, has symbolism in it etc. Both appreaciate fans more than any other artist, gaga and her fans are 'cult' as someone said, ayu and her fans are 'family', gaga wants to send some kind of message to public (gay rights, love for yourself and that kind of stuff), ayu too. both appear to be very creative and always daring and try new image etc. Both are very hardworking and living their careers 24/7 etc

[jyujiw]

You forgot the desperately necessity for attention from Gaga, and this doesnt have any similarity with ayu...
Their images are very differente, no one can deny that.
Im not pretty excited for this shoot, I wonder how it will be used for charity for example...
And yes, with Leslie Kee begging for a request from Gaga, sounds like Ayu doesnt have any importance at all, I dont like how everything is sounding right now.

[Mirrorcle World ～longing future～]

Hey, I actually don't hate gaga but well I'm starting to...
OMG Can't ayu make her own photobook --
I don't want anyone to think that gaga is ayu's idol or ayu is trying to imitate gaga, it's not true at all! But this will of course happen!

Why? What could she have possibly done to warrant your hatred, not respond over twitter to some extremely annoying man that she's never met who keeps pestering her?

I did, yeah, but I thought they had never met before. Oops. Well in that case, forget that one part of my previous post. Either way he's been awfully irritating.

yeah lady gaga also appears in the LOVE & HOPE photobook lol

I agree that he was being a bit annoying though! I wish it was made differently, but oh well, I think he gave up, he hasn't tweeted anything about it anymore.

So sorry for unreasonable

[RayJason]

I do not even think that this is going to happen but,
If it will happen then Leslie did an amazing job on achieving all this via an social network and being the most desperate twitter user ever.

[keikeiaznqueen]

lmao, why did he go about it this way?! Using public pressure isn't going to convince anyone.

[relmy]

^ A photographer publicly asks you take part in a charity book, after stating he also went through the official methods and was totally ignored?

It won't pressure Gaga, but as this thread has shown, it does give her a bad reputation.

No it doesnt. It is seriously unprofessional to ask someone IN PUBLIC to do something, and pester them about it. It puts them on the spot. AND it's for charity, which makes it worse, cause if they say no, it makes them look bad.

He might as well be asking her for straight cash.

And now, we don't even know if Gaga knows anything about this, and she looks bad because her people either aren't responding, or have said no.

And if her people didn't respond to Leslie when he went through the "official" methods.....um, usually that means they didn't deem it important enough to warrant an answer...which, would send the hint that, uh they've said no or have other stuff to do instead.

And to continue asking on twitter....I mean, even if Gaga does know, and does want to do it...if her people tell her no, she can't do anything about it. Artists are under contracts. :hrug

Maybe they just haven't gotten to it yet, because Gaga's schedule is so crazy. They have to weigh all their options and make a decision that's going to be best, not only for Gaga, but for her staff, and the label.

Entertainment is a business.
