It's hard to tell. I think a big reason why she was like that back then was because a lot of who she is was still a secret. The public didn't know a lot about her as a person, were trying to figure out who she was as a musician, and even her musical talent wasn't fully known. All those unknowns left a lot of holes for speculation, which got people talking and wondering.

Nowadays we know a lot about Gaga, who she is as an artist, and her musical talent. It's harder to wag the finger at her and make assumptions, and she's proven herself as a musician so it's unlikely for someone to criticize her and use her "lack of ability" as backup.

I think for someone to be huge like she was, there needs to be an air of uncertainty about them, a hint of controversy, and a need to determine their validity. Gaga is at a point where those things aren't as prominent in her career.

However, I think that's a good thing. She seems to be building a legacy and gathering respect in the world while still being different.
I'd rather see her grow to be an artist that will not only be remembered for being controversial, but respected for it (like we respect Bjork, for example). I want to see her grow to be a fashion icon that isn't laughed at when she wears something outrageous, but is applauded for it. I want to see people excited when she branches out. And Gaga is going down that road. 

I don't think Gaga will be huge like she was before, but she's ramping up to be huge in a much, much better way. 

nice essay

also the reason why MJ stayed big for a long time, was because his private life..correction, his whole persona remained a mystery for a long long time, now people are opening up how he was in real life (like in the studio, with friends, family etc).

I feel Gaga really should have made more use of that sense of mystery.

I really hope so, otherwise I can't stan for her anymore.

I have faith in her chart-success now that she is working with RedOne though :pray:

Really? :saladga:

Mister Gaga

Huge like in TF/TFM? No, never. 

After their flop eras/breakdowns, artists tend to come back very big, but not that huge. For example, Madonna, Britney and more recently, Justin came back strongly (Ray of Light, Circus, What Do You Mean?) but not as big as in their peaks.

Gags will come back, i don't doubt this, but she'll never have the level of fame she had in 2010/2011

(and i'm cool with that :whitney:)
