Lady Gaga needs her own thread

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

lol @ both of you guys being so butthurt at someone you won't have to hear from for the next 4 days

4 WEEKS, i mean

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.

lol stfu all of you

i mean do we really need to do this in another fucking thread?

ooh can we talk about the state of rap here instead?

roffle @ electrocution youtube btw

lol @ both of you guys being so butthurt at someone you won't have to hear from for the next 4 days

― it's a crazy college where you come from (some dude)

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.

re-lolled @ j0rdan itt

*doesn't analyze*

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.

"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.

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.

but toward what?

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

Ann Powers has been posting a live review of her show on Twitter tonight.

i would rather choke on my own vomit

2nd song is ridic

Is "Fever" the same song she gave to Adam Lambert?

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

Certainly it's bordering on derivative.

xp no you're right, it sounds like anime fanvid music

hahahahahaha. otm.

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.

and btw musically i think this thread was a good idea. i don't want to have to consider the world of vacuous pop everytime i talk about a lady gaga song :D

Picking up a singles collection in 10 yrs is about how excited I can get for Lady Gaga

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.

and btw just to keep it real

girl has definitely had a job of the nose

my god, u r obsessed!

Somewhere near the beginning of "Bad Romance", I hear "Kung Fu Fighting"!

I heard that too, fwiw:

i am not obsess! but im telling that monster song is kick ass

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.

oh well i mean i just saw a pic of her recently and her nose actually looked tiny (helped that she was wearing gigantic sunglasses)

so i was like hmmmm

this is all negated by how tiny her nose looks in three yr old clips 4 me

are u making fun of me?

wait what? no i mean yeah her nose is a schnozz in the pic u posted but it really isn't big at all in the way older youtube clips from before she was famous, so u kno, there's way worse things with that picture neway

that pic is just rock and roll tbh

The nosejob may as well be influenced by this woman though:

no you are right "I know, right?" -- she does appear to have a normal-ish nose in the "before she was famous" youtube clips

i can't bring myself to watch anymore of those tho, it's like OK I GET IT, she played some legit shows BEFORE SHE WAS FAMOUS woooohooooooooo
