The risk gives it the factor that gives her attention.

She'll never write anything like The Fame again.
The Fame was primarily released just to make her famous. Everything about her and her music was for one purpose: Fame.
The Fame Monster was a lot darker - still pop, and more risks were taken but yet it was still commercial.
By 2011, Gaga was the biggest popstar in the world and could release anything and not be so worried about how the world would react or whether the music would make it to the radio. Arguably a very big risk as most of it wasn't commercial.
ARTPOP? I don't see why Gaga would revert back to what the general public wants. You don't know what you want.
It'll be risky because unlike some other artists, she really doesn't care about the 'hit record', it's purely love of music.

Not really, since riskiness isn't relative to what some other star did decades ago, it's relative to current worldwide cultural and musical standings.

It had some risky material on it, but yeah everything she's released has been radio friendly.

Everyones standards for what is risky are relative. Thats why I have said it validates MY REASON WHY I THINK its not risky.
And dont even try to tell me that to sing about gay people and mentioning the word transgendered in a song is now more risky than it was 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago, when my favorite artists were singing about gay sex, male prostitution, transgendered prostitution, drugs, promiscuous life, aids etc? Please...
I am used to much more intense lyrics, so to me, Gaga is playing a very safe game, hun.

I think she definitely cares for a hit record. Not as much as she used to, but she definitely strives for that.

erm.. if you'd make risky music you probably wouldnt be a commercial artist releasing perfumes. she said herself interscope made the choices on the singles, NOT her. risky my ass. just be truthful and real about it. screw the PR.
edit: I dont mean any disrespect, i just hate it when they're not real and it's so ****ing obvious. she's got a good voice, piano skills, and a bit of a rocknroll flare about her. use that talent & go absolutely CRAZY with the music and let it speak for itself while dressing up a bit crazy. imagine the new fans she'll get. (with new fans I mean "new audience")

How was it risky? Releasing a slower tempo song isn't necessarily a risk. Do you consider Rihanna releasing 'Diamonds' risky?
Judas had pretty much the same formula as Bad Romance and was anything, but risky imo. I'm surprised it didn't do so well though, I liked it.

One underperforming album means nothing when the star is already WW and huge.
Even though Born This Way was far from being a flop.
7M sold, AOTY nom, 4 top 10 hits, sold out WW show, topped Forbes.
Other pop girls cant even do that in their best eras.

Ffff right?
If people were bitching, moaning and dragging over this "flop", imagine if ATRL existed when Erotica was released. BTW is no where near as controversial, and with the standards of that time, Erotica was actually a flop.
If Rihanna or Katy sold 7M albums, got an AOTY nod, a 71 metascore, a sold out tour that has outgrossed everyone else's current/last tour when it's not even half done, 4 top 10 singles, they would EXPLODE. The eras would be considered gigantic hits, they would be praised, bandwagoned and called the Queen at every chance they got.
Interscope is not stupid and they know what they are doing. AP won't flop.

Well, if it sounds good and ages like good ol' wine , guuurl am here for it.
If its BTW 2.0, i just wont feel that era as much as i did her others cause i ve had enough of songs like Highway unicorn and Fashion of his love. Gaga i love your bold statements and risks but just this once, ensure its produced to perfection. :redthing:
I just want Lovegame, is that too much to ask

And this isn't about you, is it? It's about her audience as a whole, meaning basically the whole planet and whether they decide to buy her work.
In addition, your second paragraph is unnecessary since I did not, and was not going to, claim that her lyrics are more risky today than they would have been in the past. Don't treat me like some idiot.

Besides, that TikiMiss person who told us about the head shaving, tattoo, etc. also said they have several sure fire hits and there is talks of an Usher collab, a "secret" producer and that Max Martin has sent over demos. That along with the other stuff planned for AP will ensure a successful era. Interscope won't allow her to become some obscure, alienating artist, she's a damn pop star. They have obviously seen how the way they handled the BTW era resulted and have learned from it.
