Her next album will probably be less obvious than Rihanna's switch after Rated R, but I do agree that Gaga can still do how she used to.

Using the school metaphor, I would equate Gaga's single choices as handing a Grade A biology essay to a chemistry teacher. The work is brilliant, but given to the wrong person. Her songs are amazing, but she isn't giving the public the right singles. MTN and Scheisse have smash potential. Hair could be a hit to if radio-edited correctly.

The problem is that she doesn't have the versatility of Rihanna. She thinks artistic integrity is important (and she's right), which is why she'll never release another The Fame.

I disagree slightly here. If she alienated members of her fanbase, it is probably because they liked when she was top dog (which was more important to them than the music) or they liked more generic music. For me, BTW is her best work yet. The problem is with the mismanagement of the era.
I''m still bringing my CD's, **** them 
I'm gonna hide everything in what I'm wearing then 
They better not pat me down, or a bitch is gonna get slapped 
BUT sales may be lower as they could be split between The Remix and The Collection
