"telephone" takes place a couple hours before "just dance", right?

You can tell which LG album songs will be released as singles by the stutter ratio ('future love' asides due to foul language ('I want a f-f-f-f-future man, I wanna f-fuck you as hard as I can.').)

My 6 year old cousin just overheard my sister playing Lady Gaga and she came asking her "why does she stutter in all her songs? Does she have a problem?" Never really thought about it but:

Just Dance: Just, j-j-just dance
Pokerface: po-po-po-poker face po-po-poker face
Paparazzi: papa-paparazzi
Bad Romance: Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-Roma-ma-ah! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Telephone: I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringin.
Alejandro: Ale-alejandro Ale-alejandro

Monster: That boy is a monster, m-m-m-monster

what the hell does "sometimes i feel like i live in grand central station" mean?

Grand Central Station = a crowded, public place. Being constantly bugged by the people calling her Telephone is as exhausting as if you lived in a subway terminus. She always feels like somebody's watching her, and she has no privacy.

Alternately, she feels like a homeless person but I'm not sure how that would fit with the premise of the song.

she stutters in those songs because it's easier than coming up with lyrics to fill in the empty space. it's also annoyingly catchy and repetitive and elevates her songs to ear worm status.

she also stutters in those songs because stuttering is a convenient way to throw off a melody, or a rhythm, just enough to make it interesting, and a little bit different. not saying this holds up when it is overused, just sayin.

katy perry has nicer tits so dud

I'm not sure they're tits.

We have tickets for Saturday night so I'll report back.

ummmmmmmm new song http://picosong.com/kHy

"Nothin On But The Radio"

pretty lame

not bad, but if this is a single, it's super slight, especially in the context of a career in which she released her previously slightest single, "Just Dance," two years ago and has already put out "Poker Face," "Bad Romance," "Telephone," and "Alejandro" since

dunno if it's a single

definitely down with it, tho

sounds like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

She doesn't stutter on this one. It is not a single.

lol

I posted it in the pop thread, I think its totally great

cool i'm glad we agree

+ i assume it's a demo, so if it's actually a single it will likely be much grander

this + "you and I" is a promising 1-2 punch for me

maybe even very promising

This is a pretty old song though. She didn't write it ("Like A Virgin" autor Billy Steinberg did) and it's either a several year old demo that Gaga sings on (or made to sound like her to get her to sing it).

that's funny, i was just thinking about Billy Steinberg yesterday, while listening to "how do i make you", wondering what he's been up to all these years since he was a bit of a hit factory. [his family owns huge grape farms in Thermal (Calif.) and i actually grew up down the street from his house (in palm springs)]

really!

interesting to know he wrote like a virgin. i love that song so much.

i forgot he wrote true colors, too

Lady Gaga rang in the New Year by announcing her new album's release date – and by showing us her bum. At 12:01 am on New Year's Day, the pop star revealed a possible cover for Born This Way, due in May, unveiling a photograph of her bare behind.

The black and white picture, posted on Twitter, was shot by British fashion photographer Nick Knight, who has previously worked with Björk and Antony Hegarty. It shows a woman we take to be Gaga, with her back to the camera, wearing only a denim jacket with the words Born This Way emblazoned in rhinestones and spraypaint.

The photograph recalls the cover of a mid-90s Madonna single, or perhaps a Girls EP. But for an artist whose Dadaist gowns and meaty frocks are almost as famous as her music, the image is decidedly dull. Although Gaga hasn't said that the picture will appear as part of Born This Way's final artwork, we hope this isn't the direction she is headed in. Stripped of her avant-garde artifice and fiery bras, Gaga becomes perhaps less interesting.

Then again, she'll always have her bum. "I think no pants is sexy," she told the Daily Star in 2009. "I love the naked human body." Those were the days when not wearing trousers was one of Gaga's biggest claims to fame. "My grandmother is basically blind," she explained to Rolling Stone, "but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says, 'I can see you, because you have no pants on'. So I'll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me."

Lady Gaga also tweeted two dates: "THE SONG 2 13 11 THE RECORD 5 23 11." As 23 May is a Monday, this is most likely the album's release date. As for 13 February, a Sunday, this is the date of the Grammy awards – suggesting that Gaga may perform. As it will still be winter, we suggest she wear some trousers.

lol @ the speculating on a promo photo's indication of her creative direction as if it's the actual song or something

That's the Guardian.

(ha! Should be the name of a sitcom..."That's the Guardian!")

oh i know it was them and you were just quoting. just saying.

That is funny about the "no pants" thing. She has a skinny butt but it is normal, not like a dancer's or athlete's butt, which is weird to see in mainstream media.

The photograph recalls the cover of a mid-90s Madonna single, or perhaps a Girls EP.

It looks nothing like either.

Why isn't the "harpsicord synth" at the beginning of the "Bad Romance" video included in the actual track outside the video? Would have been one of the coolest intros ever.

Not a bad song, but omg the "Alejandro" video is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

They are using "Teeth" in ads for Shark Week!

I feel like this is a great development.

holy crap, I kinda knew she could sing, but
