I actually read about 90% of your post,
Although I might not know allot of the producers(Zedd+Madeon) I have taken it upon myself to hear them out, specially the songs you named. My opinion still hasn't changed on them, they are DJS. They mix records, they play beats and remix them... I can't help but not see how Gaga(The artist) would fit into this.
Gaga is the force behind a song, much like in any mainstream pop song the artist has to shine.
I feel as though these productions are used to showcase the DJ and not the artist, I just don't see how Gaga wont be eclipsed by these "massive" productions. Its too much happening and they showcase little to nothing of the artist.
I feel as though Gaga will be eclipsed, much like Florance is in the Calvin song.
EDIT: This post started off earlier today before I had to go to work, I didn't submit it till now, sorry if it sounds cut short but my main point is there.
The difference for a lot of those songs is that it is Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch or Zedd ft. Foxes or even rihanna ft. Calvin harris. I don't think on ARTPOP there will be ft. Madeon or Zedd. Almost all their public work they've done has been their solo work which of course shows off their talent and music. She posted stache to give us an idea of how it would sound and she was the highlight and it was one with little effort put in.
