No one said Gaga was not commercial. You can be a commercial artist and put out music that doesn't fit that mold. That is what she did. Instead of perfecting pop songs so they would sell, she perfected pop songs the way her heart and personal taste told her to. Gaga is simply over the whole "let me please the general public" stuff. Her music from now on is not going to change much. It's best you realize that now.
