The other pop girls do what they are told to. They play it safe. Katy for example. Where is her dark era? The era that I'd be stanning for. Instead of pop/rock amazing songs she served me Roar, which is good but mainstream, created to smash and top the charts. This is not a song I'd like to listen, I have BL for that purpose, I wanted real music, yet she serves me mainstream songs.
That's your answer, the majourity are teenagers who buy/prefer what they can understand. Roar is about self esteem, never letting yourself down, etc. BTW was about the same. BTW was constructed and created not for the majourities but for the minourities. While Gaga stands out as a different and hard-to-get artist, the pop girls sell their fake, Dr. Luke-produced smashing hits.
But for the sake of it, do you think your fave wouldn't prefer just to release a risky single that is real music with a message than just a pop bubblegum song? Unfortunately we live in a faux society that cares about money. And in the music industry safe song equals money. And Roar, BL, everything is safe music. I'm not talking, OFC, about exceptions like Adele, but even her music is safe, she doesn't say a big **** you at people's faces for not appreciating her art, for example.
At least clever people are still out there and as I have noticed Lady Gaga's concerts outside of the floors in the arenas/stadiums are mostly 25-and-over-aged people who can actually pay a ticket to see a real show, instead of a pop soap opera that costs 50$ for example, because your teenage fanbase can't afford anything else.
This threads are created because of Gaga's under-performance on the iTunes Charts, the thing I can say though is, the actual promo campaign for Applause starts in 3 days, and it's true believe it or not, people don't know about Gaga's new song. Just take a seat and watch.
Listen to your fake/mainstream artists while I stan for real singers that put meaning into their songs like Gaga or Beyonce, that fight for different minourities and for singers (some of them already deceased, unfortunately) like Madonna, Jackson and the Beatles that did the same and created music for the sake of it but in more different and cleverer decades.
PS: After 20 years, people won't remember the song that charted at #1 but the song that made people think. The real answer is non-existent. We can't decide, yet. The public appeal will always be there, because the public is different.

Amen to this post. Surely will shut some uneducated mouths.
