The Fame is eh. The Fame Monster is flawless. I only care about the music, tbh. She can act crazy all she wants as long as it's good. BTW is full of crap though.
Musically and image-wise, TFM was my favorite era from her, even though I LOVE The Fame. But I don't want her to regress to that stage again, I just want her to create something far better than BTW.
