It's all about the promo, the image and likeability. No producer can give her a hit if she 's not likeable.
And it's sad how you were praising ARTPOP months ago and now it's the worst Gaga album ever.
Why is that?
Yeah, I know, when it comes to ARTPOP you are bipolar but IMO the album is fine and it would easily smash if released by another highly popular and liked artist.

Gaga doesn't have a hit era to come off of anymore, which is why she needs hit music to re-launch her career. Blurred Lines was huge and people think Robin Thicke is a pedophile. It really doesn't have as much to do about image as you think. Gaga wasn't very likeable during the BTW era, yet The Edge of Glory and Y&I were still hits.
And when did I ever say ARTPOP is Gaga's worst album? I still think BTW is her worst album, and my opinion on ARTPOP hasn't changed. The music is good but not what it should've been. Cohesively, it's better than BTW, but as many have said here, BTW's highs were higher and lows were lower than ARTPOP.
That still doesn't change the fact that the productions sound dated and not at all in line with the current music landscape. She completely missed the memo and she's falling behind, which makes it even more important that she work with producers who are aware of what would make a hit at the current time.
