But the truth is, electropop is what gets you hits at the moment, and urban songs flop. Lady Gaga had an album of mostly electropop songs, and Beyonce had an album of mostly urban songs, so Beyonce had a more successful era when you take that into account imo. I think we all knew Beyonce wouldn't have any big hits when we heard the album for the first time. Beyonce herself probably knew when she was recording the album.
Lady Gaga for me something just got lost,something is terribly wrong i can feel it even when i listen to her music or watch her videos-i hope her next era will bring back that fire for many.
Beyonce is still a darling to the public, she can try something new and it will be a re-birth as long as she drops the RnB vibe for once, the 4 era was affected by her pregnancy,the normal hard-working promoting B really chilled back during the 4 era like she didn't care how it performed.
