If you've ever attended a Gaga concert you know she has power, range and a voice that somehow magically does not fatigue.
Her career needed this. She stalled because her "little monsters" do not spend $$$$. They all steal her music online and hurt her sales. She was pandering to disenfranchised youth and limiting her visibility greatly. She needs to viewed as accessible to various demographics.
She needs to drop the schtick. She can absolutely still do edgy pop she writes herself, but she needs to diversify.
My folks, in their seventies and 80s, love her recent work and my dad even said, "She's wonderful when she doesn't screw around with meat and blood."
I'm not sure Broadway can afford her, but I'd love her to do NBC Live Evita. That would be a happening.
