Almost every peer of Gaga (Rihanna, Katy, Adele, etc) were able to slay the charts with a ballad song. Gaga has never released a ballad as a single. Can she do it without the dance influence on the track? Is her musicality alone enough to ensure a hit?

Of course, Yes.

I think so and I guess we'll find out once her album with Tony Bennett is released, but she wouldn't have been successful with the ballads she recorded up to this point

I honestly don't think so. I mean lady is a tramp was received poorly. Gaga can't do great without the theatrics.

For me personally, 'Lady Is a Tramp' is better than every song on Born This Way, but it's not radio-material. The Jazz sound probably wouldn't work for her, even though she sounds great doing it. She needs a commercially appealing ballad, which she oddly hasn't provided as of yet.

No,but if it's mid-tempo ike EOF then yes.

No.

You and I was a Top 10 hit.

It's kind of a ballad, no?

No! Her ballads are awful

Yes

Absolutely not.

You & I reached the top 10 on iTunes instantly when the album was released and was top 10 on the Hot 100

I don't think so...
