Lady Gaga - ARTPOP [2012]

Actually, I think I posited that she could be a cross between "Radio Ga Ga" and "Lady Stardust," but that doesn't really change matters much.

Wait, is that song a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Kerri Kenney? Awesome.

lol that took a minute to sink in, respect

Well, maybe we need to update the year there in the title but finally

I think in the year since I started this thread any possible excitement I had for a new Lady Gaga album has dissipated.

oh the break has probably made me want one a lot more! not that what we know so far isn't VERY silly

Single cover art for "Applause" to be released later tonight. So, that's something.

Let's make 2013 a year where music/talent/artistry is more important than gossip/fanwars I respect all fanbases 4 their passion #BeTheChange

lol fanwars

were katy perry and gaga fans going at it or something?

the abramovic video was cool.

The Applause cover art immediately made me think of Visage. I wish she would just go full-on Blitz Kid and leave Madonna's carcass alone.

let's do this

OH YES

appreciate her serving up some "the fame" realness tbh

well, the snippet from the other day was definitely the 5 worst seconds of it, i'll say that much in its favor

so those verses were real?

oh dear

yes. but this isn't bad

better than the katy song i think

i like this a lot and i sort of find it weirdly endearing how she's actively getting worse at writing lyrics

her vocal schtick is just too much for me at this point

initial reaction = very good, potentially great, like great enough for its rubbish lyrics not to matter

i can't even understand the lyrics...her vocal affectations are getting in the way for me but that's been happening since BTW

haha i just spent a bit too long googling "lady gaga applause lyrics"

i actually like "cake like lady gaga" better. this has a big steamroller tune etc etc etc so i'm sure i won't hate it but it is definitely a bit of a regression to the fame

wtf is she doing on the verses, lol

song is great, lyrics are dumb I guess but I don't expect better from her really

This is just the kind of "steamroller tune" she needed.

argh i hate lady gaga's music

pretty good -- can't understand any of the lyrics which might be for the best

I've never heard her go this deep into a Cruella Deville voice. It works, but I wouldn't want more than one song of it.

I've been trying to figure out all day who she's channeling with that voice. So far I can only think of Peter Murphy? I like it, though, I think she get's it just right. Not so much bother about the lyrics as I am with the flow; 'Applause' is a word you should use in the middle of a verse, not a refrain.

'gets', 'bothered'

in cackling old queen voice did somebody say APPLAUSE?

i like 'applause' even with the awful lyrics. (she probably fired her editor when she got famous or something.) but 'scheisse' and 'judas' were two of my favorite non-'80s-rock tracks on btw

"poker face" has worse lyrics than this, but they're worse in two entirely separate ways
