I'm still of the opinion it's not a huge leap away, it's still pop and each song has its hook with her trademark vocals. Your posts here have been quite insightful though! I wasn't aware that RedOne and Gaga have had some issues working together after she had established herself - definitely a contributing factor, I would say.
Yeah it was really interesting to read his feedback on their collaborative process and his interpretation of their changing work environment. He talked about how he really believed in her after she was dropped from her original label, and he would continue working with her even when she hadn't been resigned because he believed in her; furthermore, he really felt strongly about "breaking a new sound," and knew in his heart that she was the key to doing so.
