Gather round children,
Lady Gaga is not over. Let's face the facts, she's putting out messy mediocre singles with choppy directed videos. But let's also face the fact that she is not releasing smashes like Adele, Katy, or Rihanna yet Born This Way is still as popular as their album releases, more so than others. Everything she appears on gets a boost in ratings. She have been bested in the Thanksgiving Special, but the special still exceeded expectations in ratings and helped boost Marry the Night from the bottom to the top 100. It is pretty obvious that Lady Gaga is under-performing and her impact is nothing compared to before, but how does this deem her as over when she is still more successful than anyone else out right now (minus Adele, who has had successful singles to match). What I am saying is, many would kill to claim to be over when they're album has sold 5 million in less than a year without topping the singles chart(s) consecutively.
Lady Gaga can keep wasting her money because 5 million is not sending her into poverty, and neither will her upcoming tour. Bill, on the other hand, can keep wasting mine and Stefani's time.
