Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Trax Poll Results: TOP TEN TODAY)

taylor is gonna win

i bet not

Naw, it's gonna be "What Would I Want? Sky" and this thread will explode never to be seen again.

Man, Taylor winning Best Album Grammy AND ILX Best Track of the Year???? Really that girl's year!

^^^^^^ the only AC song I love.

(xpost)

I am still kicking myself for not looking into Joanna Newsom last year

all the lolz I denied myself

there's always next year's polls Joanna Newsom - Have one on me

huh. now i'm really curious what 2's gonna be.

Every time I see the album title Have One on Me, I think of it in my head as Takes a Shit in My Ears.

Not sure why...

if its taylor swift consider my head in need of a scratchin

you would dig "if i ever feel better" and "everything is everything" and "too young"

this is an otm post. they were better when they sounded like maroon 5.

so wait, it's yeah yeah yeahs and Taylor at the top?

heads will roll or daniel (or something else)?

ha rev, that's a funny comparison. not wrong though.

Gaga annoys big time, but Bad Romance is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less annoying than Poker Face (but neither is as good as Just Dance).

papparazzi is the best gaga imo

sorry ppappparrazzzi

if its taylor swift consider my head in need of a scratchin

― plaxico (I know, right?),

My parents (who are 65+) like that song. I dont think they like anything else in this poll.

"Paparazzi" > "Telephone" = "Bad Romance" > "Lovegame" > "Just Dance" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Poker Face"

What a tower of shit

"lovegame" is by far her worst song (that i've heard)

my fav on 'the fame monster' is "alejandro"

nah i mean, i think taylor swift is gonna be number one, if she's at two i have no idea who yall voted for

I always confuse DavidM for debug and am confused when he has opinions very different from dabug's.

(but neither is as good as Just Dance)

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who realized this... awesome!

uh i really wanna go to bed cos im way into this book im reading but i wanna know how this plays out, if its gonna be like another half hour before this thing is true im gonna go to bed

yeah, i like just dance a lot too, but bad romance is still king.

paparazzi good, poker face whatever, lovegame is the worst.

i don't even know what david m is referring to as the tower of shit. gaga's singles? this list?

bad romance > paparazzi = telephone >>>>>>> poker face >>>>> just dance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lovegame

I always confuse DavidM for debug and am confused when he has opinions very different from dabug's.

Ha this has happened to me too.

bad romance > paparazzi = telephone >>>>>>> poker face >>>>> just dance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lovegame

This is the correct ranking.

so, again, what is it about Bad Romance that is supposed to be good?

bad romance is he only one of her singles i wouldnt rush to switch the radio off. But if i did listen to radio more than only when in someones car I'd probably hate it.

it would really annoy me if i gave you a lift and you turned off the radio

I like Gaga's videos but can't imagine listening to the music without the visuals.

Where were y'all last year when I was expecting 'Just Dance' to land in our top five? It's not like she was unknown then. More famous than Juan Maclean, even.

So BEP @ no1 then? ;)

I'd be happy with that

that would make me lol uncontrollably

you jest but i honestly wouldn't be surprised to see "boom boom pow" turn up instead of "heads will roll"

GaGa is so *yawn* gimme some ideas please

I don't think gaga's problem is "lack of ideas"

some interesting stuff in the video I guess but its all pretty goddamned silly art-fashion wankery, very much in love with itself

I'm not really jesting because musically dared everyone to guess the top 3

I don't think gaga's problem is "lack of ideas"

just not very good ones

I don't think gaga's problem is "lack of ideas"

she has lots of visual ideas, musically... eh. house beat + shitty synth stabs + boring chord progression, whatever.

^^pretty much what i thought about gaga 6 months ago

did yall see her grammy red carpet dress btw? it was actually...kinda awesome and pretty, though she herself looked disturbingly like a platinum amy winehouse

I will be far more surprised if "Daniel" fails to make the list than if "Heads Will Roll" fails, especially since "Zero" -- which is probably the bigger single -- already placed.

until you realized that your particular political stance on music would require you to like lady gaga?

xp

I'm really thinking Bat For Lashes will be one of the songs left. Yeah Yeah Yeahs might have suffered from split voting?

I thought Russian Roulette would be in for sure.

Basically what I really like about "Bad Romance" is the lyrics (the 1991 rave stomp is just a bonus):

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love

I want you drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
A bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught in a bad romance
Ra ra-ah-ah-ah

Roma roma-ma
GaGa
Oh la-la
Want your bad romance

I want your horror
I want your design
‘Cuz you’re a criminal
As long as you’re mine
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love

I want your psycho
Your vertigo shtick
Want you in my rear window
Baby you’re sick
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love

You know that I want you (’Cuz I’m a free bitch baby)
And you know that I need you
I want it bad romance
Your bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught in a bad romance
Ra ra-ah-ah-ah

Roma roma-ma
GaGa
Oh la-la
Want your bad romance

Walk walk fashion baby work it
Move that bitch c-razy
Walk walk fashion baby work it
Move that bitch c-razy
Walk walk passion baby work it
I’m a free bitch baby

I want your love
And I want your revenge
I want your love
I don’t wanna be friends

Je veux ton amour
Et je veux ta revenge
Je veux ton amour
I don’t wanna be friends
(Want your bad romance
I want your bad romance)
Want your bad romance!

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

visually she just seems to be trying SO HARD to be shocking, throwing out this overloaded hodge-podge of visual signifiers to compensate for I dunno what - its all very WTF but it isn't really very interesting, like, there's no THERE there, its all just misdirection.
