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."

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.

Must be Illuminati, evil satanic puppy eating for sure

...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

2000 was the last year of the 20th century.

Think of it like this, you're a decade old when you turn 10, not 9. You don't count year "0".

Because sometimes I don't already take my time when I type.

So, the 80s' started in 1981 and not 1980?

No, because the 80s aren't a chonological decade, they're just the 80s, and that decade would span 1980-1989. But the 199th decade spans 1981 to 1990. Also, a decade is really ANY ten years. So if you started counting in 1965 that decade would end in 1974, not 1975. Here's the Wiki explanation, which is actually pretty good...

A decade is a period of ten years. The word is derived (via French) from the Ancient Greek dekas which means ten.

This etymology is sometime confused with the Latin decas (ten) and dies (days), which is not correct.^[1] The other words for spans of years come from Latin: lustrum (5 years), century (100 years), millennium (1000 years).

Although any period of ten years is a decade,^[2][3] a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of the calendar year, as in using "1960s" to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969.^[4][5] Often, for brevity, only the tens part is mentioned (60s or sixties), although this may leave it uncertain which century is meant. These references are frequently used to encapsulate popular culture or other widespread phenomena that dominated such a decade, as in The Great Depression of the 1930s.

Since the common calendar starts from the year 1, its first full decade contained the years from 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on.^[6] So while the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970.

A decade may also refer to an arbitrary span of 10 years. For example, the statement "during his last decade, Mozart explored chromatic harmony to a degree rare at the time," merely refers to the last 10 years of Mozart's life without regard to which calendar years are encompassed.

Thus, an unqualified reference to, for example, "the decade" or "this decade" may have multiple interpretations depending on the context.

Theoretically speaking, you're "0" if you're just born (1 month, 2 months, 3 months ... 12 months)

^I know what a decade is, I'm not retarded (although continuing this conversation isn't helping ). What I'm trying to say is, from a technical standpoint, yes next year starts the new decade, but the way we irregularly group decades such as '70s, '80s, '90s, wouldn't 2009 be the last year of the '00s therefore making this the first year of whatever you want to call this?

Shit... I actually had something wrong in here....

Nope. The oughties were 2000-2009. 2010 is the last year of the 201st chronological decade beginning with the year 1 and will start the next named decade, which will probably just be called "the teens" again.

Fixed it!

I used to say I was 0 years old as a child to describe how I was born but that doesn't make sense because if you're 0, you're still in the womb.

I can't explain why exactly, but it makes me really happy that this thread has been jacked by a completely nonsensical and unimportant conversation about what constitutes a decade.

"Born This Way" Sounds like it's aimed toward the gheys.

TRON said:

Sorry, but she's got nothing on Robyn.

True. "Dancing On My Own" is an anthem! I don't think she (Robyn) writes her own songs, though. Not that repeating "Alejandro, Alejandro" about a million times is that golden songwriting anyway...

It's ok to have confidence in yourself, your music and your album. It's when you're completely delusional...

Probably shouldn't even bring him up, since he's probably just the biggest troll in the universe, but at one point (don't remember when) Kanye said his "next album" is going to be better than "Songs In The Key Of Life". Mission failed.

Speaking of that, anyone old enough here to remember, did Stevie give out similar statements when he was making that album? "Oh yeah, I'm working on my album, b*tch, and it's gonna be THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME"

wow... so she's gonna make the album of the decade in 2011... Doesn't that mean she isn't gonna release anything as good for the next 9 years?

You have all these strong opinions about some really good music and then you go and say something like this. It confuses me, because she's crap.

For the 08-11 era, GaGa is completely worthy. She was marketed badly as a teeny dance star (Just Dance, PokerFace, etc.) but her non-singles material is by far stronger and more interesting. I thought she was crap too, until I heard The Fame album and I realized that it's pretty solid. Check out other Internet reviews: they usually give that album a 3.5-Stars rating, a 7 out of 10 or a "B" at the very least...

If Gaga is crap, then Madonna is crap, Cindy is crap, early Whitney is crap, Kylie is crap, Annie is crap, etc etc
