Singer also says there may be up to 20 new songs on the new album."
By James Dinh

It has been months since Lady Gaga first started hyping her forthcoming album, Born This Way, and the pop visionary recently raised the stakes. During a Monster Ball tour performance in Poland on Friday, the always bold singer promised fans that she'd deliver "the greatest album of this decade," with possibly up to 20 new tracks. She also revealed that Born This Way doesn't follow current trends.

"I promise you, I'll never let you down. And not for nothing: The album's finished and it's f---ing really good," Gaga tearfully told the audience, who simultaneous held up signs that read "Born This Way" backward. "So whatever this is, whatever you just did for all of us ... I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you."

The singer, who is prepping a promotional campaign for the album, also touched base on what sounds like a possible dig at her pop competitors, saying, "The funny thing is that some people have reduced freedom to a brand. They think that it's trendy now to be free. They think it's trendy to be excited about your identity. When in truth, there is nothing trendy about Born This Way."

Describing the new album as "a spirit" and "this connection that we all share," the pop star confessed that her new music "is something so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or an outfit, or a f---ing meat dress. ... Born This Way is about what keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid."

Gaga isn't the only who has been talking up the new material, as everyone from the singer's manager, Akon, Elton John and Monster Ball opening act Semi Precious Weapons have also gushed about the album.

While the songstress told the crowd that the LP will consist of mostly "f---ing sledge-hammering dance," she's still unsure of the length of Born This Way, but plans to give fans as much music as possible.

"I'm still deciding, the album could be longer than you would imagine ... I'm not sure," she said. "I can't decide, really, because I think that times are different, you know. It used to be kind of a faux pas to put out too much music on your album, but I feel like you guys deserve all of the records I do, 'cause I work hard on them. So who knows, you might get, like, 20 new Gaga songs."

I have so much faith in her. She's the saviour of pop music. Hope the album is as good as The Fame

She needs to shut up.

What's wrong with saying you're planning on coming out with a great album?

It's when they start going "It's going to be greater than The Beatles" that people cringe.

Lord, chile sit down...people like suprises..all this hype.. SIT DOWN

Well, considering we're still in the first year of the new decade; as far as pop/mainstream music goes she doesn't have much competition

I'll sure check it out but if it's considered of the same style of "The Fame"... lol

It's a shitty decade, so it could very well be.

...uhm...I think we're wrapping up the last year of this decade (first 10 years of 2000)...next year [2011] will be the first year of the next one (2011 - 2020).

Right?

Well, last time I checked 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and then 2009 added up to a total of 10 years. 11 years isn't a decade

Wellll, at least she said this decade....

WTF you doing on a Prince site.

wtf am I doing here, my dear Sheriff of Nottingham? Nah, I'm here because Prince is my fav popular artist of all time (or was it Bowie?), but I also like many other artists, including GaGa who is, by far, the best pop/dance artist of the last two years, mainly because she's weird and has a bizarre sense of humor, something which current pop music desperately needs...

But if this new album sucks, I'll probably forget about her...

now, Sheriff of Nottingham, go and put on a crappy SOAD record. Go doggy go!

It's like let us make our decision whether or not this album is worth it.

TRON said:

I prefer Robyn as well, but just slightly.

I hate when these stars say it's "for the fans" blah blah. I mean she's getting paid to make this Maybe there will be some deep messages that people can connect to, but it's not like she's doing something out of the pure goodness of her heart

I don't recall great artists declaring their unreleased albums "The Greatest of This Decade".

Stevie never said that during his run of great albums during the '70's.

Prince never called Purple Rain or Sign O the Times the best albums before they were ever released.

Then again, Prince rarely gave interviews. Maybe it's time for people like Gaga and Kanye to do the same.

Because in the 70s and 80s there were tons of albums that could have been considered the best of those decades. In this era (06-11) it's really "easy" to deliver the best album of our times...she already delivered the best album of 2009...

1. What spirit is it really?!?

2. What exactly is "the connection" that Gaga talking about?

I don't know about some of you. But I'm very concern with Gaga's choice of words.
