Think outside of the box. Most GaGa stans say they have faith in her as though she's never made mistakes before. Single wise, TFM was a mess in the US.

With GaGa, measuring hype and success is very difficult to do. You can't really tell how well a project of hers will be received until it has been out there for a while. For example, many people have experienced hating songs such as Alejandro with a couple listens, but having it grow with time. Whereas other songs like Speechless or Teeth for example found listeners who have hated them from the getgo. My point is that her work will inevitably be eaten up by many many fans, but will also disappoint others. I think that with her growing empire and strong following from guilty pleasure listeners (you know, those boys and girls who love her music but won't admit it) she will not face a widespread disappointment. Unless she nails this release, she will disappoint to a degree. But I still think we have nothing to worry about.
And about TFM, eh it could have been better, but she still had 3 top 5 hits on BB100 so it could have been much worse.
