They say it's been 5 months, but they really need to count her general invisibility since MTN fell off the charts. She's been in tour hibernation and beyond the BTW Bus and her perfume breaking the news, she's kinda been MIA.
Though I'm glad this puts things in perspective. I hope those 5 months she had recovering were enough to get her back on track. Not just for her music and fans, but for herself and her family as well the BTW era seemed to be a very trying time for her with regards to a lot of things, and now she's back in the spotlight, it could go either way for her depending on how ARTPOP is received.

But the way I see it, we need her back in our lives ... in less than 150 days, pop has become a rather staid, slightly misogynistic thing, and while there are still soldiers like Daft Punk and Macklemore fighting the good fight with songs that are sonically adventurous and socially conscious, Gaga will certainly bring the reinforcements. To her, pop is important, an artform that, in addition to inspiring the listener to move, also has the power to transform lives and lift up the downtrodden (or something like that). There was a time, like when she was selling a bazillion records, that we took stuff like that for granted. Not anymore.

Queen Gaga will arrive with the calvary.
Maybe in 2012, not this year.
