For example, Rihanna underperformed with Rated R even if was radio friendly and not a huge risk. As soon as she gave the public Rude Boy...bam, four weeks at #1.

It's actually similar to how she looked around the time her Grandfather died.

No one blocked her from trying to have another successful era. Of course, no one was expecting it to be on the same level of the previous ones, but with an album like Born This Way and with that image it was a lost case for the very beginning.

Thanks to the radios (I'm sure there some payola behind that ), just look at the sales...

7th Single = Americano (it's summer, so why not)
8th Single = Government Hooker (agree with it or not, we all know she won't let the chance of getting nude in middle of a presidential campaign just for publicity)
9th Single = Hair (I believe it's a good choice: a power ballad, catchy enough, will caught the attention of teenagers, and of the old ones too because there's some Clarence in it, and it would sound alright for fall/winter)
What do you think?
And I said 9 singles, and please see it in that perspective. Let's suppose that Interscope still agrees with releasing 9 singles as Gaga said they would.

I love all your choices!!! 
Then, for next album I hope she will release some of her hidden songs such as Changing Skies, Earthquake, No Way, Future Love and Fooled me again (Honest Eyes)

I hate that look. 
She looks 40 years old.

I disagree. I think that the expectations for anything Gaga was too high for her to satiate. I just don't think that anything she was going to do was going to be anywhere near as successful as the last 2 albums.

It's missing Heavy Metal Lover, the Jesus of this album. But I'd probably substitute it for GH.

Sure, but Rihanna's a big radio artist also because her songs are made for radios. Having some catchy tunes it's not a sin.

Let me ask you something, and I'm doing this very carefully, because I don't want to fight at this point with any of you like I always do, it makes no sense. I've learned that every fan has their opinion, whether it is a good or a bad one. But, going to the main point, and as I said it in the beginning, I'm being respectful, the question is: why are you still here, if you knew it from the very beginning? In my opinion, that's a waste of time, just saying!

As much as I adore BTW and everything about it, commercially it isn't where she needs to be, I think she should tie the era up by Summer and announce the next era next Fall, new album by Spring 2013.

or an EP!
a fun playful EP could be the cure to all this madness!

You want an argument? Ok.
6 for Scheisse is fine. Sure. Whatever.
Americano's more commercial brother Alejandro was the first Gaga song in the US to miss #1 on pop radio. Didn't sell as much as most other singles. Bad idea.
Government Hooker; love the song, but it would be a bad follow up to Americano. Release a song that wouldn't work on US radio only to put something that Radio might not even want to touch? That's talking bubbling under flop.
Then you'd want to release Hair, a some-what commercial song after releasing those flops? Idk. Just doesn't make sense.
