Even her regular stans couldn't defend that burqa/niqab.
I say that sort of like "Of course, it's ONTD!" but then I remember that Gaga can be pretty insufferable when she doesn't release amazing music because she talks out of her ass most of the time.
her tour will gross $300 million or more

IDK, I've always been off and on with her. Mostly off this year. I know people get irritated when someone says this but i don't care, I do miss The Fame Gaga.
I was completely behind when she came on the scene.I had no idea who she was.
I remember the first time I got into her was the big "Bad Romance" video release that was on ONTD. I thought she was awesome.
Every since "Born this way" for some reason she turned from being naturally awesome to just super TRYHARD in my head. I don't know if it's just me or something about her changed...
Has she jumped the shark? Does she sell like she used to?
