Let me break this down: (1) ARTPOP is a basic dance/EDM album. One or two songs that divert from the genre doesn't change this. She said herself that the songs were designed to be radio hits, which means they were designed to please radio listeners, or the general public. It doesn't matter if the public never caught on. It doesn't matter that the public didn't like ARTPOP. She wanted to make a radio-friendly album, but she failed. She failed to understand what the public wanted even after trying to cater to the public. (2) I already told you why I believe she really did try to make a radio-friendly album. I'm not sure why I have to repeat myself, or why you're making the same point again when I already addressed it. Furthermore, Gaga seems to change her narratives when her original goals fail. I've already given an example. (3) I said tacky lyrics, not generic lyrics.

Yes there is, adi's post highlights the fact that you interpreted those quotes out of context and therefore made an ignorant judgment of them.

No, I understand what she means - that she is a combination of Stefani and Gaga - but I don't agree with the way she goes about explaining herself. She didn't need to give a long, drawn-out answer. Most of what she says has no meaning until the very end when she says she's an amalgamation of each. Her answers lose meaning when she can't keep streamline her thoughts, which is why I literally said that she needs to keep her wording simple.
