I’m no musicologist or specialist in pop matters, but it seems to me that everything was perfectly aligned for her to make her appearance. And I feel that a similar thing happened—albeit in an entirely different way, with a different outcome—for me when I released ‘Post’. All these different factors lined up to make it as big as it could get.
do you think bjork praised gaga with this comment or not?

I think that she praised her. We know that GaGa knows that her music is not anything spectacularly musically forward unlike Bjorks' but is still catchy and amazing mainstream pop. However, Bjork comments that what GaGa is is a brilliant, clever persona whom is making pop exciting again by pushing the envelope; note she called her the 'first superstar'. Therefore, Bjork is praising GaGa as she is iterating what GaGa stands for; pushing the boundaries of pop performance and bringing back the incorporation of a pop 'package' made famous by the likes of Bowie, where your life is lived through and for your musical persona.
Overall, Bjork gets the GaGa phenomena.
Kill Bill. EPIC movie.
