Lady Gaga needs her own thread

yeah i didn't realize anyone liked that song -- it was pretty lucky for her career momentum that the "Paparazzi" video leaked before "LoveGame" could get a proper chance to try and fail

Always seemed like she was repeating Madge's career on ffwd, but between Bad Romance and Telephone, feels like Gaga's gone all the way from Vogue to Hanky Panky or something.

x-post Yeah, I think this is one of her strengths. She assumes that everyone recognizes that the songs kick ass, so instead moves on and turns her attention to the visuals, which don't really support the music or enhance it but supplement it.

she's already more pretentious than Madge in full British accent mode

the "Bad Romance" video totally supports and enhances the song

i dunno i think the papparazzi blood thing could have been exactly what you're saying surm, but the way she sang that line while she starts to drip with blood is what makes it amazing, its one of the few moments where she's temporarily gelled as the whole package for me.

wait sorry i didn't read your post properly, my one neither agrees or disagrees with u!

yea i totally love some of her visuals, but i find them secondary. like i don't put lady gaga on for the spectacle, i put her on for the songs.

the blood thing was so weak sauce! she totally broke character to look down and make sure the blood was coming out, probably because she wasn't hearing the gasps of shock she'd expected.

^ haha

Well I loved the video, it was so fucking cheesy! It was so knowingly kitsch and tongue in cheek, I even loved the god awful stilted dialogue, the broken mirror line is the best.
Fashion wise it was brilliant, the prison chic was excellent, Beyonce looked perfect as usual, I like her Betty Page wig and GaGa's telephone hair. Loved the 'eh-eh-eh-eh-eh' bits and Tyrese's surely award worthy performance, it was just all round hilarious.
Didn't like the incessant product placement or how long it was and I wish GaGa would stop trying to justify her 'art' until she can actually explain herself clearly.

"Told you she didn't have a dick"
"Too bad"

(Still not as great as the trolololololo vid tho)

ya the mirror line was great - and when B's feeding her the sammich in the beginning

did a side by side comparison of GaGa and Roisin Murphy videos last night, inspired by gin. GaGa's are so much more... American.

Roisin's videos are rediculous

I don't know why I ever had anything bad to say about "Bad Romance" on this thread

feels like Gaga's gone all the way from Vogue to Hanky Panky or something

not sure what you mean because Hanky Panky came straight after Vogue, so its the same timescale!

lol good point, i totally forgot Vogue was on the Dick Tracy soundtrack!

I think "Telephone" is a great song. For Rihanna, it represents probably her best ever single.

the 12 month variation in style between Dear Jessie and Justify My Love has never been matched by a pop star

you mean Beyonce

For some reason I thought Geir was attempting some incredible zing.

"probably" being the operative morbsesque word there

lololol

Depends on your definition of a pop star. The Beatles, for starters.

Madonna should never have made "Justify My Love" though. Still horrible and worthless crap.

Wanna read something terrible?

The Beatles, for starters.

doubtful, but let's have your example (4 or more singles in a year all markedly different stylistically)?

sequence is different in the US tho (Keep It Together not a single in UK)

Shit just 1966 alone:

"Paperback Writer" / "Rain" · "Yellow Submarine" / "Eleanor Rigby"

How about 1968 these songs are all EXTREMELY different:

"Lady Madonna" / "The Inner Light" · "Hey Jude" / "Revolution"

b-sides don't count!

for the beatles they do

Pretty sure some of those are double A sides.

Bad Romance is easily one of the best pop songs of the 2ks.

she looks pretty good in panties and bra, but I will challenge Gaga to a dance-off with one leg tied behind my back.

I have the same sunglasses as the chick on the right.

So what's all this I've been hearing about some Gaga video where she wears a jacket with GISM and DOOM patches? I have friends who listen to nothing but grindcore and harsh noise who are all pumped about Lady Gaga.

Yeah this just came up in my blog reader - t-shirts taking off Black Flag logo, mock up of Doom's Police Bastard EP etc:

Reminds me of David Beckham in a Crass t-shirt.

Heh looks like the Doom/Black Flag pics were done by someone from the Profance Existence board, v impressive photoshop skills tho!

haha that blog is hilarious

the chick on the right is Lady GaGa's sister

ohokay, cos there was a shot where i thought that WAS gaga, looks a lot like she did in the old clips of her w/ dark hair

yeah exactly, me too

Maluca didn't invent can rollers, lots of Gaga stuff is derivative but come on

I dig this video

i like beyonce and lady gaga together a lot

I liked their dialogues much more than their song and dance routine

I agree that Gaga outclasses Beyonce in this video and I like unperson's idea that this collab was Gaga's idea, sort of her showing the world that Beyonce is two thousand and LATE

lol, apparently MTV banned this video

mtv show videos?

um i watched this video on MTV the other day? and i mean it was the whole thing, bleeped swears and pixellated asses were virtually the only changes i noticed.

People watch MTV?

there exist people?

the AMTV video block every morning is pretty good, kinda what people were demanding for years and years (albeit in a timeslot when only people like me with newborn babies are awake and at home)
