First of all I'd like to say that I do not have the intention to insult anyone. Also I will be alternating from a business and personal standpoint.
In my POV I think that Gaga is first of all entitled to her opinion. Whatever she does artistically is FIRST and FOREMOST because she love what she does. She has a job, but it is an independent job. She has gained right for creative leeway on whatever she does. This is because she worked hard for it. And speaking of work , she loves to work. I do as well so in a way I absolutely know what she is talking about when she say she loves working and takes few breaks. Although I do agree she should take a break I do not want her to take a long one. This is because simply she is so used to working , the new environment of not working hard for success will cause a new form of stress which is even more detrimental. Resting should be a gradual , adjustable process.
My next point is that she loves Little Monsters. We know this and we love her as well. (I'm restating for emphasis) She LOVES her fans. You do not want to be away from people you genuinely respect and admire. When someone says they love someone because the person they love makes them happy is selfish. When you love someone you enjoy the fact that you get to make the person you love happy. Gaga does not take this for granted so she continuously works to make us happy.
However, Gaga is a PERSON she has wants and desires. And she WANTS artistic freedom and she has it. As mentioned before whatever she decides to release (at least in this era) is because she has evolved as a person. Some people are seeing Gaga as an upgraded version of a human (mentally). We continuously change because change is "not temporal, it is eternal" (see what i did there

). You should not expect her to not to change because she is in fact a human , and a human that has the ability to make her own creative decision. (which is rare in this industry). This is why she will change and will change again after Born This Way. There is also a chance there may not be the change but I'd be prepared for it.
Anyway I forgot what else I wanted to say but I'm pretty sure I wrote the gist of it.
P.S I'm not a HUGE fan of Laurianne either.
