After the 2011 MTV VMA nominations were announced this week, with Adele receiving more nominations than Lady Gaga, some Little Monsters weren’t so happy and decided to not put their paws up, but rather take their claws out.
According to MTV, some loyal Little Monsters defended their Mother Monster and her number of nominations in a non-Gaga like manner. Some fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions on Adele’s 7 nominations to Gaga’s 1 major nomination, which has both artists nominated for “Best Female Video,” by targeting her weight.
Here are a few of the tweets:
For sure, Gaga wouldn’t tolerate this behavior and stands against this type of bullying. She preaches acceptance when she sings ‘Born This Way’ and would be appalled at reading these tweets by some of her Little Monsters!
guest
Pathetic ‘Little Monsters’ …
guest
Wow. Honestly, how dare people attack Adele for her WEIGHT when she has one of the most beautiful voices this generation has ever heard. She deserves every nomination she got.

I hate obsessed fans like that. They’re acting like the bratty fans who sent Selena Gomez death threats when she started dating Bieber. Some people just can’t handle life I guess.
guest
I love Adele’s voice. Whatever nominations she got, she deserved them. Notice that none of Gaga’s loyal little monsters could mock Adele’s talent. Instead, they ignorantly made fun of her weight. It looks bad on those fans and I hope Adele isn’t bothered by their comments.
guest
This us awful but Adele has also made comments pertaining to people’s sizes and weight that were rude so maybe she’s just getting a taste of her own medicine. It is not okay to make negative comments towards anyone’s weight or size whether they’re large or small.

I’m a “little monster” myself and this makes me so fucking angry, I can’t even stand it. I love gaga but I do NOT love her so called “little monsters” and this is exactly why. Gaga & Adele are two completely different and talented artists. I adore them both. I just.. ugh. -_-
Adele deserved the nominations. Those fans need to STFU.

I think thats sad that the only thing they can make fun of her for is her weight. People need to get over the fact that a certain weight doesn’t make you a better person or singer in this case.
guest
that’s annoying. Adele deserved the nominations, Lady Gaga’s music is SO generic, sure- she can sing, but perhaps Adele can sing better. and attacking her about her… weight? is really fucking irrelevant.
guest
Adele is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice. End of story.
guest
That is completely unnecessary. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh god Lady Gaga is ugly and fat and sings like shit… at least Adele’s got an amazing voice and a gorgeous face.
guest
why are people so weird? it’s just the vma’s lol.
guest
Adele’s nominations are well earned. She’s got very real talent. These are cheap shots from little children who obviously don’t realize that there’s more talent in the world than their precious Gaga. Besides, it’s just an awards show. I’m pretty sure Lady Gaga isn’t sitting around her house bummed, she’s done well enough for herself.
guest
That’s really upsetting. I’m a HUGE fan of Gaga, but Adele has an absolutely phenomenal voice and is insanely talented. Her nominations are deserved!
guest
Oh come the fuck on. Adele is SO talented. So is Gaga, but her fans – the ones posting – are fucking immature little bitches. That’s where the negativity comes in, what the fuck does Adele’s weight have to do with winning? She fucking deserved it! Seems like Gaga has a couple of fans who can’t be gracious about a win when another artist earns her way.
I hope Adele ignores that shit. Hopefully she’s able to brush it off, because they’re meaningless comments, from such small minds.

This is so sad and out of line. These artists are nominated for their talent, not their looks. I agree that they’re not following Gaga’s message of acceptance. It’s really just a petty and immature way of acting out.
guest
People are appalling. Honestly.

@colorMEpurple2@xanga - She has? Wow, then perhaps..it’s karma.
guest
this makes me ashamed to be a gaga fan. I love adele. how could they do this?!

Haters gonna hate *Tip of the hat to Adele.*
guest
@Hinase@xanga - ”I love seeing Lady Gaga’s boobs and bum. I love seeing Katy Perry’s
boobs and bum. Love it,” Adele says. “But that’s not what my music is
about. I don’t make music for eyes. I make music for ears.”
She’s said some other things too, I wouldn’t say she deserves comments about her weight because no one does but music has nothing to do with what you look like. If you’re a great artist you’re a great artist whether you have weight or not or how you dress or anything like that. She has purposefully put down other women because of the way they look and that’s really not okay.
guest
That disgust me. adele is way more talented than GaGa, I know people wont like that, but seriously get over it little monsters, just because she has better vocals and better songs. I loveeeee adele & hope she wins on her nominations. But i could understand if they were saying hey sry but I think hgaga should of got more nominations but do go for her weight is ridiculous.
guest
Wow. That’s horrible. I love Adele and Gaga.
lily / 5148 posts
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - Of course no one deserves that. But yeah, seeing that she has made these comments have made me a bit less sympathetic to her.
guest
Wow, ignorant “Little Monsters.” Everyone praises Gaga for the way she advocates loving everyone for who they are no matter what they are like. So for her followers to attack Adele in a way like this doesn’t make them seem like Good lil Monsters at all.
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - … wait, how is that a comment pertaining to size and/or weight? o.0; adele may be picking at the fact that katy perry uses her sex appeal to popularize her music more than her talent, but… she isn’t insulting lady gaga or katy perry for their weight. at all.
guest
wow, that’s fucked up. some people need to grow the fuck up and stop obsessing over celebs
dahlia / 2747 posts
wow… this just shows how vapid the monsters are.
guest
just disgusting!!
guest
Gaga’s “fans” are wrong for attacking Adele that way, but Adele has made countless comments about how “sick” skinny celebs are, and how she’s so much better than them because she’s fat.
They’re both wrong.
And seriously, how the hell did Katy Perry get nominated for more awards than Adele and Lady Gaga? Really?!
guest
@theartofbumbling@xanga - she’s saying they’re bad musical artists because of the way that they look. saying anyone is bad at anything just because of the way they look is an awful thing to do. she’s made other comments about weight, this one was just the first that came to mind on her criticizing someone else purely based on their looks.
guest
is this what the world is coming to? twitter ‘attacks’ being recognized as something big? WOW.
guest
Adele is very talented and doesn’t deserve those ignorant comments.
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - i’m not trying to be argumentative, i just feel like she’s not criticizing their appearance- she’s criticizing how they use it (read: to make them and, thus their music, more popular.) i mean, any judgmental statements are statements that should be avoided, but that’s how i took that one. i’m really not trying to be difficult, though. i promise. i’m just telling you how i saw that one. i bet there are other things she’s said, though. i believe you on that one. :/ people will be people, argh.
guest
@theartofbumbling@xanga - oh I didn’t think you were! I just thought I’d clarify why I chose that particular quote
I do think Adele is a great artist. It just irks me when any one person, no matter famous or not, chooses to make comments about another’s appearance in a negative light. Grinds my gears!
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - it’s understandable that it upsets you; it gets me, too. we’re all fighting our battles, even the celebs, so we should all respect each other. we’re torn down and hurt so often; it’s a pity we can’t use our power to heal as much as we use our power to hurt!
guest
Wow.. I absolutely hate those “little monsters” now.. that’s not even fucking cool. Adele is a BILLION times better than Lady Gaga. Adele didn’t deserve those comments. She’s beautiful and deserved those nominations.
guest
the comments adele said about others artist appearance was basically just saying that artist today rely and focus to much on their appearance instead of their actual music. She is saying and has said numerous times that she would rather be known for her music not her looks.
guest
As a Little Monster, I am absolutely disgusted by their display of immaturity. So rude.
guest
That’s horrible. Adele is so talented and even if she wasn’t, what gives people the right to comment on someone’s weight like that?
guest
WOW if I was Gaga I’d be disappointed in my fans. That’s just plain RUDE.
daisy / 599 posts
As much as I am annoyed with Adele because she’s constantly making comments about how she supposedly loves her weight (and how she puts down skinny people), artistically speaking she is FAR more talented than Gaga could ever *dream* of being. Seriously, Gaga isn’t shit. Sure she has some talent for what it’s worth, but she’s just a mediocre pop singer who know how to market to her audience, big deal. Adele has some strong pipes, excellent song writing skills, and she puts her heart and soul into her performances. She doesn’t have to dress like a lunatic to garner attention. Her music sells itself, which is a lot more than we can say about Gaga.
And what’s even more screwed up is that Gaga’s fans take her so seriously. It’s like they have never seen real talent, real artistic skill, or else they would clearly understand why Adele is up for more nominations than Gaga. Maybe when they grow up they will start to understand why Gaga isn’t all that.

I would think that other little monsters (I am one myself) would be able to embrace both Adele’s talent as well as Lady Gaga’s. Mother Monster would NOT approve at all, it’s so sad that they’re too ignorant to see it.
guest
*Yawn* These Little Monsters need to go out and enjoy some sun.
daisy / 599 posts
And what is with the little monsters name anyway? How stupid.
guest
I <3 Adele and Lady Gaga. What I do NOT love is petty behavior. How childish.
guest
I think it’s both disrespectful to Adele and Lady Gaga to do that.
guest
Adele is infinitely more talented than Lady Gaga. Bitches.
guest
I think that most of the “fans” on twitter who refer to themselves as “little monsters” are delusional. No one takes them seriously. I am a fan of Lady Gaga’s music but I don’t too much care for her whole act and all her extra nonsense. She’s legitimately talented but she’s so over-the-top that it’s what she’s known for instead of her awesome voice and dance technique. I think her “fans” need to have a seat.
guest
What the heck! A singer should be judged for her voice, not her weight or appearance!!
guest
Not only is this disgusting and horrible because Adele deserves to be nominated but also for the irony of these certain “little monsters” actions, specially since Lady Gaga’s Little Monster campaign and stance is all about accepting who you are and others for who they are, and loving them for being different. Ridiculous! I, for one, think Adele is gorgeous and I hope to God that she does not change the way she looks just to fit in with what hollywood and the music industry seem to think is beautiful and right.

Those are funny. Wrong but funny.

wow. a great lot of hypocrites is what they are.

I’m guessing this is a minority. Then again, aren’t we all hypocrites.

Wow such bitches. Lady Gaga’s “fans” seem like crazy cult members…
guest
People are stupid. I see these people taking the Britney Spears fan route: Attacking any artist who threatens the position of their favorite.
hydrangea / 73 posts
it wasn’t just monsters doing it too. mtv just wrote an article (which where i am guessing you got all this from) about the lil monsters attacking adele but actually britney fans, kesha, rhianna, nicki minaj fans were doing the exact same shit. but nobody mentions it. they decided lil monsters would cause more of an uproar by saying they were the only ones attacking adele which isn’t true. seriously, can’t u come up with more original posts? after seeing this post on mtv.com a few days before this one it just seems like you can’t come up with anything on your own. you even used the same pics they used.
guest
Honestly…I think Adele is over rated…but insulting her like that is just mean. I mean… seriously, it’s not like she forced people to nominate her. Also, I don’t think she’s fat. I really don’t. I think she sometimes dresses in a way that is unkind to her build, but she’s not fat. Adele is newly popular…so of course she’s going to get the most attention. Lady Gaga isn’t going anywhere though, so they need to chill.
guest
I’ve never heard of Adele before, but some of the Tweets are pretty hilarious.
guest
I hate it when “fans” act like this. Do they honestly think whoever they’re a fan of likes it when they insult and threaten to kill other people in “support” of them?
daisy / 507 posts

guest
Adele is gorgeous, in every way. Lady Gaga, not so much, just kind of…pathetic.
guest
I like Adele, and I love Lady Gaga. I think Lady Gaga would be very dissappointed in this, i’m sure she’ll say something
magnolia / 1066 posts
Wow, people are disgusting. Poor Adele. It’s not her fault that she’s so amazing.
guest
I bet Lady Gaga is pissed at her fans right now.
guest
I’m not a big fan of either, but Adele is hotter than Lady Gaga anyway. But it’s funny that they needed SOME feature to attack out of anger. Ha.
guest
I didn’t attack her, I love both Gaga and Adele. Some people are just fucking psycho. So what if Adele is overweight (if she even is truly overweight)? She looks damn good and has a marvelous voice. Haters will hate?
guest
@ArmyWife4Life2007@xanga - Why attack Gaga? It’s not like she said these things.
#haters.
guest
hahahaha
guest
Gaga is a sellout, in my opinion. She has GREAT talent but she kind of threw it away to try to be “different” and in being different she kind of turned out to be the same as any other pop star.
Adele deserves those nominations over her in my opinion. But that’s just MY taste. I’m not going to bash Gaga because of it though.
guest
Pretty sure Lady Gaga would not approve, especially because she has admitted she is insecure about her own weight. Goes to show everyone has shitty fans, these “little monsters” probably didn’t get the memo. Kinda like the bad apples of certain religions, they aren’t hearing the full message.

This is why I hate children. Jonathan Swift, are you in the building? Please come see me about something…
guest
Ugh! Stupid, immature people piss me off to no end! Adele is beautiful, even though she is bigger. @Digital_Angel -Agreed. She really wouldn’t approve.
guest
Disgusting, bitter, and very sad that they felt the need to attack the easiest thing. I love that Adele didn’t bow to pressure and lose weight, she’s happy as she is.
Also, I could come under fire for this, but I think Adele deserves more nominations than Lady Gaga. Woops.
guest
What disgusts me almost as much as this is people who think that insulting Gaga in this post is okay simply because Adele was attacked. Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’m pretty sure both Gaga and Adele would be very upset seeing their LOOKS being compared and told is ugly or gross. How about we forget for one moment about looks and focus on the music. They both have very different styles that will appeal to different people. Period. Want something upbeat and lifting, check out Gaga. Need something with some real heart and soul, sing along with Adele. My point is that comparing them and saying “Adele’s a fatass,” and “Gaga’s ugly” is just stupid and pointless because you aren’t looking at what they are PRODUCING.
Fans of both girls need to get over it and learn that not everyone is going to like the other. But that is no reason to insult either women, especially on something so superficial and vain as looks. At the end of the day, both girls have amazing voices, great style, and awesome messages. How about we focus more on praising them instead of trying to bring one or the other down?
guest
@Dirigible_Plums@xanga - I’m a HUGE little monster and I’d have to agree. Born This Way was not the life-changing album it was hyped up to be. I don’t think you should come under fire for voicing your opinion. At least you’re focusing on it from a musical aspect and not in a “Gaga is ugly/Adele is fat, and that is why the other one deserves more nominations” standpoint.
guest
@AmayaDoll@xanga - That’s a ridiculous standpoint isn’t it! And frankly, a bit anti-female; men don’t ever get “they dont deserve that award they’re fat/ugly”, but girls seem to think its fine to judge other girls on looks only. We are terrible.
And I agree, I like Gaga, but I think Fame Monster is far superior to Born This Way, which was a disappointment to be honest. I think Adele’s album has more musical merit, and that’s what the awards are about.
guest
@Dirigible_Plums@xanga - Xanga seems a bit anti-feminist, so I didn’t want to bring that up, but I thought the same thing. How male musicians don’t have to go through being insulted by looks or weights. It’s always about the music with them while with women, it’s always about looks. I can’t tell you how many times when Lady Gaga is posted in Lovelyish, half of the comments are always “she’s ugly,” “she’s not that attractive” and the like. It’s like, “why can’t you focus on her music? Don’t like that? Okay, then move on. No need to attack her looks just because you don’t like the sound.”
guest
@AmayaDoll@xanga - Yes! It’s disgusting but we all do it; women are instantly judged on their looks. Who cares if Lady Gaga isn’t the prettiest of people, plenty of prettier people haven’t got multi-million selling albums soooo…

Oh man: “…some Little Monsters weren’t so happy and decided to not put their paws up, but rather take their claws out.”
This truly made me laugh!!! Put in wayyy too funny of a manner x]
Seriously, though, that’s messed up of Gaga fans. I like Adele and Lady Gaga, and I don’t think it’s fair to make fun of Adele’s weight when she’s just as talented as – if not more talented than – Gaga.
guest
Lady Gaga has talent! I love her songs! She should win!
guest
@Dirigible_Plums@xanga - Lady GaGa rocks!
guest
Bah, they’re just upset because their mother monster didn’t win. I remembered some of those little monsters made bad comments towards the talented Arcade Fire when they won album of the year from the Grammy’s Awards.
guest
adele is beautiful.
guest
this is just another case of girls hating girls for things that society and the media put pressure on us for. it’s so dumb since we’re just succumbing to what everyone wants us to be and hating on other girls for not conforming to it too.
seriously? hating on adele’s weight is ridiculous because she’s not even fat, first of all. and second of all, think of all the fat male artists that are/were popular who don’t EVER get criticized for their weight (i.e. cee-lo, biggie, fat joe (obvz) even elvis was fat).
also adele’s songs are waaaay better than gaga’s stuff on her new album.
guest
Yes… Because shes Sooooooo fat… Oh comon! People are so stupid… And thats no way to treat someone… Some people do not have hearts….
guest
So sad. Adele is beautiful and it’s pathetic that these idiots are attacking her weight, especially over something so stupid.
Some people are so disgusting, ugh.
guest
Adele couldn’t care less. She walks among divas like Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, and Aretha Franklin, to name a few. She’s already won.
guest
Haters gonna hate. Adele deserves the nominations.

I hope Gaga disciplines her little monsters.

oh yeah “true fans” who don’t even know what lady gaga stands for! dumbasses.
and adele beats lady gaga any day! so WHATEVER, HATERS!
orchid / 164 posts
theyre all jealous. honestly, didnt katy perry get the most nominations? lady gaga hasn’t said anything, either? lame. she needs to tell all these people to PRACTICE what they preach. does being born some certain way only include sexuality, not weight or appearance? because gaga hides behind all her costumes and disguises, anways.
guest
lmao, the only reason lady gaga is so popular is for the alone fact that she’s so “different”. someone shouldn’t be praised for not being afraid to be different when they’re completely retarded. FUCK lady gaga.
guest
It confuses me how fans can get fanatic to that extent. Is it Adele’s fault that she was nominated for more? I think she deserves more anyway, her voice is incredible.
guest
I bet Lady Gaga would kick her fan’s asses if she found out their rudeness and bullying Adele. Music isn’t about awards or nominations, people need to see passed that. Adele isn’t even fat or remotely overweight, so that is a pathetic attempt of trolling.
rose / 786 posts
Wow. That’s mature. I have no problem saying that Lady Gaga has a good voice. I don’t know how much of her voice is actually real. But I do know that Adele can sing. She has got a great voice. And those nominations were deserved.
guest
I think, as usual, people are idiots! And obviously, her “little monsters” don’t even listen to the words to her songs or they wouldn’t be attacking someone about their weight.
guest
I fucking hate almost all pop music but even I have to admit Adele is greatly more talented than any of her runner-ups.
guest
This is honestly funny, yet ironic. If you’re a little monster, aren’t you suppose to believe in no hate, equailty, and all that other shit?
These people are outrageous and possibly on the same level as BIEBlivers.
*Just so people know, I am I really huge fan of both artist, and I truly believe you can’t compare these artist because they have different musical styles. But, hey. What do I know.
guest
I don’t understand how people could critize someone based on weight. I understand that most of Gaga’s fans are young but to have the audacity to say such things disgusts me.
guest
I don’t think that Gaga would approve of this sort of behavior. As for her weight, I think people are scared of normal.I think it’s fucking fantastic that someone who’s considered plus size is getting some attention for something other than her weight. She’s a good role model for those of us who aren’t size 8′s. It makes me feel good inside and hopeful that maybe one day the media will get out of this “not thin enough” phase. Not only is it unhealthy, it’s detrimental to the people in this world.
guest
oh no. this is a belieber-esque. i’m sad. i love gaga and adele.
guest
Am I the only one that found the tweets hilarious?
guest
I love Lady Gaga, but Adele is a very talented artist. How dare people make fun of her because she received more nominations than Gaga. Who the fuck cares?! I have to agree that Lady Gaga would not be pleased by these comments and I kind of hope that she says something about this at one of her concerts or something.
guest
There will always be crazies.
guest
Those Little Monsters don’t realize they are letting down their number #1 with such comments!

Whats sad is that these very people sing Gaga’s songs like “born this way”, which is about acceptance. What hypocrites.
guest
I’m sure Gaga is very disappointed in her little monsters….
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - That doesn’t sound too rude to me.
guest
i love gaga. just saying. she never did anything wrong to deserve the bashes on here that people are making toward her.
her fans may have gone to far about adele. but its not like gaga told them to.
guest
@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - She’s saying she’s superior because she doesn’t show off her body when it’s none of her business what anyone else does with their body. If someone makes good music, they make good music regardless of how they look or act. She’s put down other women because of the way that they look and that is not okay for anyone to do.
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - well, I happen to agree with her. I think that most musicians who stoop as low as dressing like a slut or sexing up their videos to sell their music do so to make up for a lack of talent(not to say that Lady gaga or any other musician doesn’t have talent, I just think that they wouldn’t have sold as many CD’s if didn’t sex-up just about every song they have, because let’s face it; sex sells)
If those musicians were really “talented” they wouldn’t need sex appeal to sell their music, but that’s just my opinion.
guest
@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - I already said my piece about all this. It’s not your body so you really shouldn’t say anything about it, if you wouldn’t do it then that’s great but you’re still putting other women down for how they choose to look and that’s not cool.
guest
adele > lady gaga.
what a pathetic display of dissatisfaction… it shows what kind of fans lady gaga attracts…
guest
She’s not even fat…
