That's what I thought. It looks like her normal camera phone photos except in black and white and you can see the gaps in her extensions.

I hope its just a picture from the set of the shoot.

Not really worth making a big announcement and sending out emails.

Even though TFM is an EP, this is technically her third album/era.

Technically it's her second, artistically it's her third.

I'm being subjective, hate for GaGa is growing. I'm going to like the materiel regardless, but her popularity is fading. I trust GaGa and her team, but they've made mistakes before.

She's Billboard's top artist of the year and she had the bestselling album worldwide. MTV said it best: she didn't release any new music and she became MORE popular.

You're entitled to your opinion, I guess, but to me, there's just not any way this album could flop when everyone is paying attention - her fans want it, her haters want it to fail, and the media can't stop talking about it.

That's not true at all. Numerous artists have had a slump with their sophomore album and recovered with later releases.

This is very important for her though. I think it would be tough for her to recover if this era underperforms. That's worse-case scenario though, I think this era will be super successful.

I can't at the overreacting

It is not Gaga's fault that people made their own speculations and believed them as facts. Gaga did say the album was done, but that does mean it can come out next Monday. We are getting new Gaga in February, and probably some more (we'll see) then the new album. She will probably reveal another single at the Monster Ball tour to surprise her fans. She can't hush about this record, and once the single is out....

As far Gaga being overexposed, that won't stop her. Beyonce and Rihanna are overexposed. Rihanna released, what, 6 singles in 2010? Did not impact her success. So what if people are annoyed .Most find pop stars annoying anyway.

I'm not delusional, apologies if you comprehend that as an overreaction.

Beyonce is not overexposed. The only people talking about her are her fans/stans. During her last era she released numerous singles and by the end of it the general public were tired of her, but she's taken over a year off. Besides the release of Telephone she hasn't really been mentioned all that often. When she announces her return people will anticipate it,

The single will have better chance to succeed at least. A lot of Bad Romance sales were lost because of TFM. If she can do what Katy did with CG and TD (but with better album sales) I won't be complaining.

I don't expect it to flop, but it's going to be difficult to live up to expectations. I hope it will.

Goodnight.

[Hello]

I think it will be more exciting this way. 2 singles before the album & if she goes 100% Katy route and also release countdown singles OMG

I know a lot of people tired of Beyonce. Sick and tired. I hear it wherever I go, even when she has no music out.

Gaga is overexposed already, but I don't think it'll count against her. If her music is catchy enough to survive, it'll live. People always have their ideas and opinions, but things really are not as black and white.

Yes. I do think some of you are overreacting, delusional or no. Sorry if that bothers you. All she does is reveal the official release dates of her new material and suddenly she is this, she is that. I think she'll be just fine! There are people behind this that know what they are doing and why things were chosen the way they were. Have no fear little monsters.

The only thing I can see happening is Born This Way getting Telephone like reception, I'll be honest. Fans will either love it or hate it I feel

I cant believe you guys are not happy with this picture. It's the definition of ICONIC.

It looks like the typical B/W picture she puts up on Twitter every now & again.

And the hair is just horrible. It looks like she has bald patches.

U cant argue that most of those pics are iconic vintage looking

I hate Lady Gaga, but why doesn't anyone listen to Cherry? She can't promote an album properly until the tour has wrapped up and it's wrapping up in May. She's obviously still in this "Fame Monster" era (or whatever you call it) and she can only start the next one after the tour is complete.

[GarageGlamourous]

Now that I think about it May is probably the best time to release it. Her team knows she's already overexposed and a closer release date definitly would help that, at all. People are still talking about the meat dress and that happened 5 months ago. February we have the Grammy's, new single, Hello Hello and the cover of Vougue (I think). So releasing it in March would not be a smart idea. Yes, the hype started to early but in this case releasing the album in May will hopefully pan out her exposure. She just has to be smart and be obscure.

[BTrisc]

Sisters. You know DAMN WELL that she never disappoints. It may seem like she disappoints, but her mind is so much more advanced than ours that she knows what we'll love months from now. You monsters may hate this now, but you'll love it by the time the single comes out.

#DEAL.

Why the flop speculations?

It's gonna be a great album. Stop worrying.

LOL that's what I thought.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this, but it reminded me of Britney Spears' bad weave at first.

BUT....the photo has since grown on me. The tatt, the ass, and the jacket...all fierce. Really just the hair, but it is fine with me. Though it does look like she is pulling something out of her rear window. Regardless, I am pretty curious about the artwork for this album now!
