I wouldn't say you're a blind fan, just an over-trusty consumer. I mean, not only has she not stepped out of her own mold, she barely stepped out of the Madonna mold created 30 years ago. Throw in a bit more violence, some GWARish stage props, there you have it.

There are million and MILLIONS of musicians out there that would kill to have even one second of the exposure she gets 24/7. If she can't even effectively utilise this insane nightmarish stretch of over-hype, and over-attention to come up with something effectively unique, or interesting by now...

Well, kind of makes me feel bad for the musicians who actually could.

It really does. I wasn't expecting something terribly different though.

Second in my books that little EP she released doesn't count as an album to me.
The Icarus Line, Spacemen 3, Lilys, Slint, June of 44, Death In June, Brian Jonestown Massacre, My Bloody Valentine, Psychic Ills, Animal Collective, Sonic Youth, and some other shitons of bands have changed their sound by the third album. You're right though, some great bands like Swans and The Rolling Stones haven't changed their sound till the 5th or 6th album.

I think it's a bit harder to change your sound when you have billions of fans expecting the same stuff you've been putting out. You risk a big chunk of your fanbase leaving you for some other pop act because you decide to drastically alter your sound. It's a sad truth, but it does make me a bit sick when people expect a certain thing of a musician, it's wrong. I want to listen to music that the artist wants to make, not music that the artist is using to generate an income.

I wish people were a little more forgiving when it comes to pop acts, they make fun of them, they leave them when they don't like a change in sound or lack of change. These people are trying to please you all, and eventually they fall out of the public eye or get spat on till they're forgotten.

She's not paying attention to her own advice.
Yeah, I agree completely and it's so true, it seems that all that stuff she says to her "little monsters" is more for herself than for her fans.

The Lady Gage Presents special has been on HBO (her performance at Madison Square Garden). I'll say that I'm pretty impressed with the amount of work she puts into it (and her crew or whatever). Very elaborate stage props and scenes and a ton of choregraphed dancing, I was pretty impressed with how good she sounded too.

Does Gaga call them "little monsters" because of the movie "Party Monster?" I wonder if there is a connection.

I think she calls them monsters because of the premise of her album The Fame Monster.

It's like this (but you'd have to read the Manifesto of Little Mons†ers to grasp the concept a little bit better): the truth of Lady Gaga fans is this. They are Kings and Queens who write the history of the Kingdom, while Gaga is something of a devoted Jester.
I'm going to give a valid example. Think of it like this, Gaga is a Mons†er. Her fans carry with them (in a sense) a part of her; therefore, we are called Little Mons†ers. It's kind of like Jesus with his 12 disciples. Christians are followers of Christ, and Little Mons†ers are followers of Gaga (Mons†er).
I hope that makes sense.

Yes, the producer need some props for picking the right cameras that were showcasing her ass from time to time.
