I mean, have you heard this woman's ability to write a pop hook? Pop is where she was born to be.

Agreed. She's such a good popstar - it's where she belongs. However, I feel she really should explore her range. Pop rock/metal would be fantastic. Stripped back alt-pop/rock is what people are waiting for. Pop soul/blues will be great. Jazz is ready and waiting. Broadway calls, too.

If Gaga came out with an electronic album that was unique and different, it could start something new like she did five years ago.
I wish she'd work with some alternative EDM producers. There are so many talented people out there who could help her reinvent her image and sound.

Exactly. If she had been ahead of the nu-disco trend, she'd have smashed. Hell, if ARTPOP had arrived in 2012, it would have faired better.
Minimal house is where things are/are going at the moment, but she'll miss that boat with album #5. Her best bet, like you say, is to preempt what's next. I have a feeling a Frozen/Ray of Light type of deal could work. She's given us Heavy Metal Lover, Bloody Mary and ARTPOP...so I feel she's capable of that sound.
A Tony bennett album is fine but if she became a Jazz artist she isn't going to exactly be Lady Gaga the popstar anymore either.
