Nope

No.

You all are simply saying yes because she's underperforming right now. Let us not forget that her biggest hits were still artistic...try telling me that Bad Romance isn't art. The reason why Gaga is the only pop girl I seem to give a damn about any more is because she's the only one worth giving a damn about.

No, she doesn't need to. To be honest, to me her art comes off as try hard and cringy as a fan, but I must respect her decisions and won't say she needs to stop it, it's her career after all. Either way, the "art and pop" concept is never going to happen but props to her for trying something different.

she should just do whatever helps her tbh. Her fans don't really know what's best for her, they just think they can make comments about what would make her career better because they think it's that easy.

She needs to start it.

Exactly.
This is something she made that she shared with her fans, not with the world.
Everyone on this site that is constantly bashing her for being artistic and/or creative is an idiot. Report me if you want. A lot of you are totally clueless.
But what do you expect from people that genuinely adore such mediocrity as Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and even at times Rihanna. The world of pop stans is 100% lacking any sort of substance, culture, a genuine sense of individualism, or common logic and saying that isn't to say Gaga is substantial or that not liking her is representative of bad taste, but the arguments you all come up with, the reasoning you have for validating your distaste, its so misinformed.

If she wants to continue to have a successful career and large fan base, she needs to stop. She's already starting to stain the throne she herself built.

No, she doesn't need to, however if she wants to regain the GP's love she has to, i doubt it tho.
