[...] 1. Lady GaGa/The Fame Monster – Consistently the most brilliant pop album this year. “Monster”, “Alejandro”, “Teeth”, “Telephone” and most importantly “Bad Romance” showed that GaGa could take her already-successful formula and expand it out to have a more sonically diverse album. Here’s hoping she gets the chance to continue to evolve. [...]

Well, there is a bit of over-exposure but when the songs are this strong I think she’ll be ok. I kind of wish The Fame Monster was its own separate album and postponed until next year but saturation seems to be the new music marketing technique!

Trust that I agree with you on the creativity end of things. She seems like she will be putting out crazy genius music for years to come. It will be interesting to read the breakdown of her career 10 years from now.

Maybe the biggest shock will be when she can eliminate the novelties and shocks and just be an artist.
