Honestly, of the 30+ songs I've heard from Gaga, I've disliked maybe 3. Sometimes her "style" tends to get on my nerves, especially as her ego seems to have inflated quite a bit compared to last year, but I cannot deny that if you're going to have an ego you may as well put in the work to earn it and that's what Gaga's doing. Some people are overshooting her a bit, but I'm still loving everything I've heard so far and "Monster" is giving me everything I need right now.

As for this talk of Britney, I don't think it's very necessary. I'm still waiting on Britney to return to her previous level of performance and I hope this tour she's on now is acting as a refresher course for her, otherwise it's sorry to say that she'll basically be another "studio artist" just like people keep calling Rihanna.
