People want Gaga to like, "The song is great with some cool beats, it's dope, bro." Their brains cannot comprehend multisyllabic words when used to describe something.
When describing something you've actually worked on and stating your own opinions on it, you can't be pretentious.

Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
To Gaga, the song means the world, it's something she has worked on for over a year and it of utmost important. Gaga has been pretentious in the past, but she's not being pretentious here.
Maxwell also said Versace, Armani and Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent are still in the mix, as is the label Mila Schön, which created a few catsuits for “Applause.” “It’s more toned down and pulled back and chic,” says Maxwell. “But it’s also that we’re making suits out of things that they would not normally be made out of, like plastic, but they’re super well-tailored and clean.
As the title suggests, “the point [of ARTPOP] is that art and pop can have an exchange,” says Gaga
That bit annoys me. She says it as if it's a new idea, when people like Bjork, Madonna, Bowie, John Lennon etc. have already covered this, extensively.
Plus, the cover is a total rip off of Bowie's Scary Monsters era covers.

It only annoys me cause she was saying the same **** during the fame era. Which I have no problem with her bringing back, but just acting like it's new in her work.... But whatever it's still exciting.

So everyone else can do it, but she can't? And nowhere does she say it's new. Why are you putting those words there?

Neither Björk, Bowie or Lennon made pop in the mainstream sense and I'm not sure wich Madonna era youre trying to label as art themed here.

Educate yourself, please.
Lennon INVENTED modern pop in the mainstream sense.
Bjork's '90s material is pop, with a twist on it. But the melodies, the sounds - all pop. She didn't get really freaky until Homogenic.
As for Bowie, listen to his early and '80s material (or rather, don't).
They covered different parts of it. Bowie, for example, was obvious with his art and literature references.
Madonna was a lot more subversive - an example of this is putting lightbulbs on the breasts of a Tamara de Lempicka painting at the beginning of Open Your Heart - what says more about post-modernism than that?
Gaga's going over already existing work.

The implication is clearly that she's marrying pop and art, and is the first one to do it. Perhaps she means in a more recent sense, but from her previously grandiose statements, would we really believe that?
