You know I think this "flop" era will hopefully only do good to Gaga.
I think with a clear vision and enough time (!) she can plan good things. See G.U.Y. video and Artrave.
And eventhough she claims not to write for the charts she very much loves being on top (just see her bragging that last nights show was SOLD OUT) come on.
So therefore I still hope she has the hunger she had at the beginning of her career. Obviously it won't be the same cause she already made it, but I can't see her (and Interscope) being happy with this situation continuing like that.
She just has to act secure and not care about haters/critics. If you "pretend" to be great, people will start thinking you are great.
So I'm hopeful for the next era. The little naive koons is me.
But drop Act2 please. Or rename it something totally different.
