Your post is so beyond ludicrous, I wonder where to begin tearing it apart.
Let's start here:
You loved the original GaGa, but not the new GaGa because she's too overproduced and commercial now? You do realize that what the original GaGa did was highly commercial, right? You do realize that a song like JUST DANCE is far more commercial and far less risky than a song like BAD ROMANCE, correct? You first hear JUST DANCE and you think, slam-dunk smash. You first hear BAD ROMANCE and you think, hmmm I wonder how the public will respond. You're making it sound like The Fame era GaGa was putting out Sade-type music.
Regardless of what you may think about their merit, songs like BAD ROMANCE, TEETH, SPEECHLESS, DANCE IN THE DARK and SO HAPPY I COULD DIE are far less commercial than most of the tracks on The Fame.
Your commercial argument makes not a lick of sense. It is a fail of epic, Biblical, Red-Sea-parting proportions. GaGa has always been squarely commercial, and if anything she's taking more risks now. Which brings me back to my original point: you are confused by the fact that she's a pop star who has strayed away from happy, bouncy, let's-have-a-slumber-party bubble gum music that typifies every other female pop star of this generation.
Oh, and you don't have to randomly namedrop edgy indie flicks to seem cool and well-versed in arty film, I've seen every David Lynch movie so you're not impressing me
It's fine that some people don't like the new GaGa, but let's be honest about your reason: how can a woman make pop music that isn't pink, glittery, fun, cute and happy
