Gaga's release pattern is awkward though - most artist don't release three smash hits and embark on a record-shattering world tour for an EP.
Either way, who cares what Wikipedia thinks about whether TFM is an EP? They contradict themselves anyway. There's a Michael Jackson talk page for one of his albums that has a link to the RIAA's definition of an EP, and TFM clearly fits into the album category, yet WIki doesn't do this for TFM, instead relying on less-trusted sources like MTV.
TFM is better as an EP, as it allows the sales for TF to increase
Thanks And I do appreciate it. I just really loved them. In like a friendly way. They really were someone I loved and looked up to more than anyone else. Also, one of my family members is really unwell. This has been a terrible day.
I'm sure it must be hard. Did you go to sleep yet? I usually feel bit better when something like this happens and accept the situation for what it is after I take a nap. It helps your subconsciously organize the situation in such a way, that will make you a bit more comfortable with dealing with the matter.
We were talking about Gaga's next era on GagaDaily, and maybe BTW wasn't so ****** after all.
Led Zeppelin's third album was torn apart by critics, but then their fourth album IV is often referred to as their masterpiece. Madonna's third album True Blue is her best selling studio album and she followed that up with Like A Prayer, which is seen as her masterpiece. Britney ripped her audience in half with her third album, but followed it up with In The Zone, which finally gained her critical acclaim. So it definitely goes both ways.
The fourth album era (or third LP for her) is always really a defining moment, along with the album that follows. You're beyond the introduction phase so you need to flex different colors and show you can stand the wind of change as years go by.
What Gaga did with Born This Way was establish that critical acclaim and experimental edge BEFORE her fourth era/3rd LP, so she can actually play it a bit safer and not have to stick her neck as far out as Christina/50 cent/etc. She jumped a step in the usual industry set-up.
She moved way ahead of past artists by fracturing/scaring some of her fans away earlier on in her career, while she had the hype and momentum to rebound. If she did that with a later album, that may have not been the case. (Christina) She probably figured "I can lose some wind and some fans now while the media keeps chasing me around, but who knows where I'll be 2 years from now."
Now, after a rather rocky album era and some backlash, she's still seen as the top bitch in music and can do whatever she wants with her 4th era. That's a great luxury.
I guess we'll see if she utilizes that freedom to make something big out of this next single.
Bad Romance is definitely better than Poker Face. And Judas is definitely better than Bad Romance.
Judas > Bad Romance > Poker Face
You lost me there Judas is not better than Bad Romance for so many reasons but I don't want to have the same discussion that I had with Remixed with you, for each their own, for me Judas is not even in the same hierarchy let alone the same league, just my opinion!

I am awake thinking about it. I completely love the guy, and I don't quite think he appreciates it. I really love him. And I think that sleep will make me feel worse

You are just slow in learning the truth...
No, seriously. I love them both. But Judas has that special something.

Dreams help you deal with emotional distress, that's why people always say to "sleep it off" after a break up/etc.
*SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN!
Despite the fact it was #1 in Taiwan

I mean it's a good song.
