Lady Gaga needs her own thread

I could write a series on that group but it would likely generate lawsuits

Change all the names to those of your enemies. Wait that won't help...

'summerboy' is a nice little tune. kind of reminds me of tragic kingdom era no doubt!

Another parody from Westboro Baptist Meg Phelps:

hmmm idk i probably won't ever watch it again tbh :\

oh god, my worst nightmare of getting sexually assaulted by a gaggle of moe howards

my initial response was too think it was too madonna

than I DID watch it again and I had a realisation, that the whole video is about how she can't have sex with gay men even though she really wants to, and then she compares that to men in the military and to the catholic church and the whole thing is one long impossible love letter and now I kind of love it

Great read. Also if your video is about the tragic closeness-to/distance-from an adoring queer audience, Madonna allusions are really perfectly sensible.

This video is the best thing GaGa has done so far, and the greatest tribute to Madonna ever. I'm kind of a little in awe right now... GaGa really is incredible!!

yeah, no kidding!

yeah, don't see Beyonce making a cameo in this. Gaga ftw!

She looks so great with short hair like that.

This is probably my favorite video she's done yet.

i couldn't finish it. i guess the video's good, if a little monotone. i like some of her dancing - girl can work her bod. and i guess, yeah, she looks good dressed up as madonna.

but this song ... it still really doesn't do it for me. the lyrics are inane, and who the fuck is roberto? and it's just plodding. as tired an observation as it may be, ace of base did it better.

I dunno, i generally like my music videos to comliment or enhance the accompanying song. There's a fairly jarring juxtaposition here between the oh-so-edgy visuals and the fairly inconsequential music. At least her last video was fun.

And why the hell did it have to be 8 minutes? Really wears the song into the ground.

It's really disappointing to me to see Gaga fans unenthused about this song because it's the first thing she's done that I've immediately liked, and it kinda completely changed my opinion about her.

i know, that's the thing! i've heard that from at least 3 ppl

I still haven't watched the video because I have no sound on my computer tho

Which is getting mighty old

I still maintain that "So Happy I Could Die" should have been the next single.

i would've died

that song has a vision.

if i ever heard it at a club i think i would lose my shit, like literally crack up into a million pieces

wait i thought everyone loved it! except surm apparently?

nah i am def not the only one dude

There were some rather tepid rxions from apparent fans on the singles jukebox, too.

I think it's pretty good but I would rate paparazzi over it

maybe, but I haven't heard "Paparazzi" since I've heard "Alejandro"

I mean just in terms of gaga songs with soft & lingering choruses...though now I have a lot of love for 'so happy that I could die' thanks to surm & elvis's repping upthread

i like "alejandro" now - it wasn't the video that made me come round on it so much as its single-ness, how much it makes sense as a standalone thing without the need to compare it to its context on the album, where i think "dance in the dark" and "monster" are way way superior and should've been the singles really (or "teeth" if she was actually really daring). think this leaves "so happy i could die" as the only fame monster track i still dislike, i'm fairly sure that won't last.

how great are the drum fills in "dance in the dark" though? i actually really love the lyrical perspective too - dancing as escapism from emotional abuse, but it feels less like a solution than dancing blindly towards the precipice, "dancing in the dark" as metaphor for staying in the dangerous relationship in the first place. fucking wish there wasn't a princess diana reference in it though, makes me wince every time - HATE the gays who think of her as an icon. not cool to idolise anyone in the royal family. plus i hate girls who try too hard to be a fag hag, and that's what that line is.

the bridge to "monster" is so amazing - "he ate my heart and then he ate my braaaain"

^^^^^^

Best song on the album.

i love this, i think its a really good example of her like actually transcending the influence (ie ace of base here) instead of just blindly copping moves

Monster is 1 of my favorite songs of the decade, easy.

i don't mind the Di reference. i do love Princess Diana for a variety of reasons, none of them having to do with her prevalence as a gay icon.

(i actually didn't even realize she was a gay icon ...)

i don't get whats so daring about Teeth, sounds like an xtina joint

lex, pretty sure that's one of those uk/us divide things

"Teeth" totally sounds like Xtina, but it gets away with it cause it sounds like a song Xtina would never do.

Really sounds more like B. Jaxx with Xtina vocals or something.

in tales of the city all the SF gays are crushing hard on lady Di but i suppose that is ancient history?

I kinda get the impression most ppl in the US stopped thinking about her once that Elton joint slipped off the charts

i guess we're not the right generation but i think she had an effect on an older gen. of phags maybe

yeah mebbe

but LG is our age, so

also I have never noticed the Princess Di ref

yeah i mean lex has this major thing abt anything ever being a gay icon anyway so

Really sounds more like B. Jaxx with Xtina vocals or something.

OTM.

She was at the ballgame I attended yesterday, but I couldn't get into her box.
