I'm sitting here reading all your intricate discussions. If you only knew that in real life, not only MTN is ''underperforming'' but also the album is selling very well and her status is quite the same. In fact, I think this era has done more good than ''harm'' to her image if you think: people always complained during TF/TFM (and I mean the general public except the fans and the stans) that her music had no substance, that she was robotic and had no talent whatsoever putting apart the fact the she could impress with gimmicks and we all know that's cheap sarcasm. The thing is, Born This Way has garnered musical respect among her peers, she's no longer just merely a popstar, she's building her legacy and becoming an icon.''Let the bruises define your legacy''. It's not unknown the fact that many artists have showed her brilliance in an album and then even their closed ones AKA their fans have turned their back to their offspring. You only center on the negative sides, when there are more positive ones.
All I have to say is that the Born This Way era is not over, I'm waiting for the 4 remaining singles, and their respective self directed videos and this is no joke. I hope she goes back to the ''old Gaga'' and FLOPS HARD, SO HARD that you will regret that.
