Yes...she's in trouble, isn't she?
Her backyard sessions, where she dresses like a normal lady, were excellently produced. Probably one of her rare "clean" periods.
I don't think it is a case of her,Pink,Lady GaGa,and others being flawed as much as it is the entire entertainment industry is owned and managed by flawed people. This is especially true in the music business these days with auto-tune and idiot teens liking songs more because of the dangers in the music videos than the actual music.
Lady GaGa has TONS of talent and had been a successful actress and singer on Broadway,but to get herself noticed she had to go max-out weird because that is what draws attention. The entertainment industry is probably the toughest job market in the world,and some of it's biggest stars are no-talent Mo-Fo's like the Khardashians or every rap/hip hop group you will ever see,or semi-talented singers like Madonna.
To get noticed and get a record contract,she had to appeal to the trendy bi-sexual crowd and the teens that think that there is something new and exciting about it. Now she has the record contract and the success,she is trying to back away from all that trendy "stylish" nonsense and just write and sing music.
It's tough. Linda Rohstadt would have a tough time breaking into the music industry today if she were still 18.
