Yes she peaked between paparazzi bad romance and telephone but shes just hitting a rough patch she still has a long way to go and will most definitely deliver some huge hits in the future a la BR just wait and see
She managed to pull out three signature songs from her past 3 albums: Poker Face, Bad Romance, & Born This Way, and that is definitely an accomplishment. All superstars have ups and downs...I mean...come on...Beyonce and Avril Lavigne did bad this year too. Britney did bad in Blackout, Rihanna did bad in Rated R. Ashlee Simpson did bad in Bittersweet World, and so forth.
You can't pick at lady GaGa when so many other stars have had floppish eras, especially Beyonce and Avril from last year.
Even when I am not a fan of her, she's far away from her peak!
This fight with Madonna, will make her even bigger !
& in music never!
BTW era sucks, she will come back with a better album this year and show ya'll the peak of your madness
