- The release Bad Romance only a few weeks after its radio release which was a disaster to begin with because she isn't an established star like Britney that can pull that off and see a #1 for which she paid the price because the song will likely not net her a hot 100 #1.
- Why even re-release this album? It was doing well on the charts and the original FAME album had a few radio hits left on it, but because of the label's greed and insistance of having something new for the holidays, it backfired because the EP isn't doing very well.
This FAME MONSTER project should have been released in late Summer as a full album and she should have been allowed to take a break after she released her final single which should have been "Starstruck" ft Flo Rida.

Paparazzi was a hit & Bad Romance is a hit. Yes it would have been nice for Paparazzi to go top 5 which may have happened without Bad Romance but does it really matter that much? No. It still went to #3 on the sales chart and #1 on the airplay chart so it did extremely well, it's downloads and airplay peaks just didn't coinside meaning it's peak was lower than it could have been.
The "era" hasn't been a fiasco, she's still ******** worldwide even with a few questionable decisions so I'm not mad about it

Just look forwards into the future instead of getting bogged down with the past and things that would have been changed.
