Guys I bought the expanded edition of The Fame Monster in a moment of weakness and decided I do like her alot, especially the new songs. Love her nod to ABBA's "Fernando" on "Alejandro". The non-singles on The Fame grabbed me a lot more than I expected to.

I really like the stuff she has done so far, although I see some reviewers mention her as a "new Madonna", and I guess that is a bit too early. Also reminding them how Cyndi Lauper was still a much bigger phenomenon than Madonna at the start of both's careers.

I feel like Lady Gaga is the least we should expect from pop stars now: Memorable visuals and decent hooks. I find the whole thing grating when people act like she's some kind of innovative paragon.
Innovative paragons haven't become huge international pop stars for at least 25 years.

jordan was very testy with this thread from the beginning so I'm not sure why he was defending it from you so vociferously.

Lady Gaga is an affront to Gucci Mane-loving gays everywhere, perhaps?

xp judging by your 'efforts' on this thread the two of you are infinitely more worthy of sanction than jordan's ever been; any moderator with the slightest regard for what ilx should be about ought to recognise that rather than feebly bleating on about merely being a conduit for the idiot whims of the masses and their precious hurt feelings.

why would i be offended by jordan? like i said, he was "defending" this thread while Eric H was the one who was savaging it ever so mercilessly. idk why everyone's trying to bring the dram here, someone bump a political thread or something.

at least 2 other people i know have confirmed that the "oooh-ooh" chorus in Bad Romance sounds annoyingly like it's from something else.
i don't know that this is what i was thinking of, but Jimmy Soul's "if you want to be happy for the rest of your life" uses the same note progression.

It reminds me of something I would hear Ronnie Spector do on a Ronettes track...I should listen to Back to Mono and see if something stands out.
― musically, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link
"The Fame Monster" is really strong nonetheless. I see some reviewers claiming that, even though the album is good, none of the tracks are as good as "Poker Face" and "Just Dance", but personally I see "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" as the best she's ever done so far.
― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link
No, I agree with "some reviewers", except Poker Face is terrible. But Fame Monster > The Fame. That's for sure. I'm kind of hoping Lady Gaga moves a bit away from the overproduced electropop sound.

― Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I prefer the electropop sound. There still aren't so many acts like that today. Not counting Swedish and Norwegian acts, it's her, La Roux, Kylie Minogue and the odd track by other people such as Britney, Madonna and Rihanna. Still needs more.

Somewhere near the beginning of "Bad Romance", I hear "Kung Fu Fighting"! It is a good song, though, and seems to have a big crossover appeal. Oh, and whoever said something about Lady Gaga's weird anonymity upthread was OTM - I don't know whether it's a side-effect of some of those full-veil costumes (like at the VMAs), but her facial features keep swirling around endlessly, never actually settling on a memorable face. It's almost disturbing - like she has some mad Victorian attic-lady shit going on or something.

i mean, it's just makeup, costumery and cameras . . . . it was really cool at first, now it's kinda cool, and soon i'm gonna be ready to just see her in a pair of jeans and a fucking shirt

I guess I'm the only person who thinks "Bad Romance" is a step backwards after "Paparazzi"?

i definitely think Paparazzi kills Bad Romance's ass
i just heard the track MONSTER this morning. as i was listening to it, i was like, what is this amazing music. and as i was bending down to look at the itunes program on my boyfriend's macintosh computer, i knew what i would see in front of me -- the name "Lady Gaga." what do you know, there it was.

something about the placement of her voice in the mix in songs like Monster, Paparazzi and the verses (ONLY THE VERSES ffs) of LoveGame reminds me of like smart, *trashier* oldschool RnB.

I do like Lady Gaga, but exactly where is that Gaga effect referred to in the original post here? The only hit from 2009 I can think of that is obviously influenced by Lady Gaga is is "Evacuate The Dancefloor" by Cascada. Some may add La Roux, but they have gone straight to the original source, namely 80s synthpop, and I don't really hear any Lady Gaga in their music.

lol i meant the nosejob thing, I am a little obsessed myself tho, can't stop watching youtube clips of her, it is amazing the energy and polish she brings to the crappiest of daytime tv spots.
