I'm no Gaga stan but this was good. It's sooo obvious that it's currently Gaga's 'turn' to be 'PopStarMostHated'. It's unfair and completely biased. That said, with the prognosis already decided for #ArtPop it's unlikely anything would please the rabid Gaga haters (who funnily enough seem to mostly consist of yesterday's Die Hard Monsters *so Fickle* what with comments like 'why can't she make simple pop like before) right now. You can't really get more basic and simple Applause so the hate makes no sense. She's talented though, so once she's over this phase she'll be back with something else and her old fans will love her again like they've done with countless other enduring pop acts before her who they've hatefully cast aside for season only to pick up again an album or two later.
