Lady Gaga needs her own thread

I thought u liked Gaga surmy

i do but the idea of putting an album on makes me kind of sick. sorry i love u

btw after hearing it once, i don't think i ever need to hear alejandro again. it's not even bad, it just doesn't sound like much

alright i'm gonna download this

I liked it better when I just assumed all of ILM hated lady gaga

Wow. Didn't know she had a Speechless in her. It's very Beatlesesque perhaps? Maybe just the guitar solo. But epic balladry and so forth are a good look for her.

Teeth is a great little vamp that has a sort of...20s jazz and/or rockabilly air to it. So Happy etc. needs more time to ruminate.

ZOMG

I love the drums in the chorus to "Monster," they're very HI-NRG ish

It occurs to me that "Bad Romance" is a bit of an inferior retread of Cyndi Lauper's excellent "Into The Nightlife" from the beginning of the year (or so?)... Same producer perhaps.

wow those youtube girls

those youtube girls!!!! their other covers are awesome too - check out "obsessed" and "hello" in partic

best thing i'll see this week, better than gaga

um, did this really just happen?

seriously tho, the Ooooh's in the chorus of that song remind me of something and i can't place it.

I like the "gaga aroro lala" weirdo part of the song but the rest is draggy.

Me too. It gets played a lot where I work these days and I can't get it out of my head. I do agree with Abbott that the gaga aroro lala part is the best though.

"Dance in the Dark" is awesome.

blergh i hate the chorus in "bad romance." the whole thing is just such a frankenstein of a song, and yeah a couple parts are fun ("gaga aroro lala" and "love love love") but nothing fits together nicely and then the chorus just bursts in with that ugly eurotrash synth and those 'woah-oh-oh's.

i actually like the chorus the most, even tho i strongly believe that the "woah-oh-oh's" part is ripped off something i can't quite put my finger on

but i totally agree that the song is too "frankenstein," and the pieces sound too forcefully fitted together

fwiw, i don't really love the "ra-ra-ga-ga" part

dunno why it just doesn't really move me either way

I'm caving too, "Bad Romance" is tremendous

:-O

well it is

this worthless piece of woman destroys Beyonce's awesome new video in a sublime way

such a shame

xp yup.

It's the mid-1990s Benelux hard trance hoovers on Bad Romance which thrill me the most... very 10 o'clock in the morning at Trade...

the synths on Bad Romance DO sort of sound like something from Outside The Gate

frankenstein of a song otm

i've got this mash-up of the choruses and nonsense hooks from "bad romance" and "poker face" that gets in my head on occasion, but i still get bored when i hear either song (seeing is a bit more engaging) and couldn't sing the verses for you. it's like if young madonna wanted to be old madonna.

"bad romance" would be ok if it didn't rely on that same plodding gaga drum beat

I like "paparazzi" though

poker poker poker poker OOH LA GAGA GAHH

poker poker poker poker MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

I like "Poker Face" but don't really get "Bad Romance" yet---the vocals never really soar like they do on the chorus of "Poker Face", and so there's no resolution to the tension of the "plodding gaga drum beat". It's not a bad song, but I don't hear a monster here.

I understand that both work the same formula but I just think "Bad Romance" does it way better, cooler chant part, better chorus melody, better lyrics, etc.

"poker face" really earwormed me but it's not that satisfactory to actually listen to, unlike "bad romance" - her vocals in the "poker face" verses are really flat and perfunctory, whereas on "bad romance" they actually match the campy, theatrical words. the production on "bad romance" is a lot more varied and interesting too, and of course she doesn't rap about "bluffing with my muffin"

Just Dance > Bad Romance > Paparazzi > Poker Face >>> LoveGame

"Just Dance"? Does that song even still exist?

i dont think i can live in a world where al shilpey loves a lady gaga song

i actually find it sort of hilarious that everyone, including myself, has caved now

yeah upthread i think i mentioned that i was intending to never hear another song of hers, lest i cease loathing her. but "bad romance" is good :(
