Lady Gaga

Wasn't really sure where to put this, I was a bit iffy about what genre she sings in. Anyway, anyone a fan? I love her album, particularly her first two singles, Just Dance and Poker Face. I don't think the songs are that well written or that she's a great singer, the songs are all pretty catchy though.

I really liked 'Just Dance' so I had a listen to the rest of her album and was very disappointed. I think that her singles are clearly her best songs and the rest of it was pretty mediocre. None of the rest of her songs stood out for me. However, I still love 'Just Dance'; it's a classic dance-floor filler.

Poker Face is cool, reminds me of Gwen Stefani so much for sure

I agree with Raven_Girly. I work in a record shop and today we had her album on and I was bitterly disappointed. Just Dance and Poker Face are easily the best songs on there... I actually didn't find any others I liked :( THe rest are almost a completely different style.

I bought her CD but the only songs I listen to all the time are Just Dance, Poker Face, Lovegame, and Boys Boys Boys. I like the somewhat electronic sound to her music and her style.

The one's that Bio Android listed are definitely the most catchy on the album, for me anyway. However I also think "The Fame", "Paparazzi" and "Eh, Eh, Nothing else I can say" are all worth a shot.

I've heard Poker Face and Just Dance. She's okay. I like Just Dance better.

Hear Starstruck... is awesome!
Im a Gaga fan! :D
Paparazzi music video is being shoot today!

I've heard Poker Face and Just Dance. She's okay. I like Just Dance better.

I agree completely with you! In my opinion, Just Dance is a fun catchy song that is great to dance to. By the way, did anybody hear anything about her singing on American Idol, but not as a contestant?

Yes, she sang poker face , really outstanding performance~!

Amazing performace!
watch it here!

Catchy songs, but I not go as far as buying her albums.
Not really keen on her, but her music hasn't started to annoy me... yet!
:D

I heard "Love Game" on the radio at work last week. I am very confused :lol:

I love Just Dance because it's a song you can really dance to. Poker Face is okay, but it's not really my cup of tea. I probably won't get her album, but I do think she's a good singer.

I'm starting to get sick of her. They play her two most popular songs (Just Dance and Poker Face) on the radio all the time, but nothing else from her. Guess I'm going to have to start listening to my music on youtube because the radio is aggravating me with this. :grumble: I'm liking Poker Face better, though.

I really like Just Dance, and Poker Face is okay, but what I was really surprised to find out was that she wrote songs for many popular artists before starting her own singing career. (I think this includes bands such as the Pussycat Dolls, but don't quote me on that.)

Yeah.. I'm okay with Lady Gaga. Generally speaking hers wouldn't be my type of music, but I got to listening a bit more when I lost a bet and had to buy two tickets to her concert in this city in July. :D

I do kind of like her, but I wonder how she will sound live. I suppose it goes without saying that Poker Face is my favourite song of hers- there's no denying that she's got talent, she was a strong music producer and yes, she wrote for other bands, before her own career kicked off- and so I hope seeing her live will be good. :)

People. listen more than Poker Face and Just Dance...

^ It's a bit hard when all they play on the radio is Just Dance and Poker Face. If it's not the music people are really interested in they're unlikely to go looking for more.

if u like one of those 2 songs, you have Youtube/lastfm/P2P to check the rest without buying the whole album.

I like "Just Dance", "Poker Face", and "Starstruck". They are beginning to overplay "Just Dance though a tad bit on the radio. I hear it all the time! But I'll never get tired of "Poker Face", it has such a cool beat! :rockon:

Me too! :D I also like Poker Face and Starstruck :love:

Love Game is pretty good. Didn't like it at first, but it's starting to grow on me.

I'm listening to that right now. It's really cool.

I love how her voice is so clear :)
(Like, you can actually understand what she's saying)

I agree! She's one of the few artists I can understand what she's saying without looking up the lyrics. I like LoveGame, and Beautiful, Dirty, Rich is pretty good too!

I agree with you on this. And to add to it, I went to see her the other night. She played over 20 minutes of Poker Face, which pleased the fans, but I'm generally speaking not one, so I was disappointed with it. And I was mildly disappointed with her too. She talked a lot and played for just about a hour. No doubting she has a strong voice, but I had really expected more from her. Pity. :(

I absolutely love "Poker Face" (no exaggeration, but I think it's one of the best mainstream pop singles I've ever heard in over 30 years of listening to popular music), but so far nothing else she's done has at all excited me (maybe I should give it another listen, though).

I hate to sound like an old fart, but I am glad that after a couple of decades of all-girl "groups" that can't play any instruments or write any songs, there's a lot of really talented female musicians like Gaga coming up now.

I like her songs, but only if I doesn't listen on them too much.

Yes, "Poker Face" is great! She has a lot of talent, and I think it's great that she writes her own songs, which shows she has alot of creativity.

You should listen to some of her other songs! "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" and "LoveGame" are both really good.

I must be random, but I do love her hair, (even though it's a wig) and her costumes. Some people say they're too crazy, but I really enjoy seeing what she can come up with to wear next! :lol:

I'm listening to that right now. It's really cool.

I love how her voice is so clear :)
(Like, you can actually understand what she's saying)
You really don't want to understand what's she's saying.

Listen to Paparazzi, it's amazing.

You really don't want to understand what's she's saying.

Listen to Paparazzi, it's amazing.

I'll try it! :)

Yea, in "LoveGame" you kind of don't want to understand what she's talking about, just because the words are pretty bad!

"Starstuck" by her is really amazing too! In my opinion, it's kind of quirky in the beginning.

I really like "Poker Face".

I absolutely hate her computerized stuff, but she's pretty good live and i'm having so much fun reading the youtube comments on them :rotfl:. Poker face acoustic is actually pretty jazzy

I think Lady Gaga is just what the music industry needs thoguh, someone unique and new.

Yes, I'm so glad she is an artist now! She is unique, which I absolutely love. She's not afraid to try anything new, which is great in my opinion. You need people in music who aren't afraid to take risks.

I like The Fame, Poker Face, Lovegame, and Just Dance...I suppose I'm a fan:lol:

Yes...I was shocked at how odd it sounded.

What do you think of her songs and her style? I like her new song ''Love Game''

I actually like her. Her songs are catchy and upbeat, which is cool.

She's got so much talent though, and her style is pretty unique. Her style of clothing is always interesting to gape at lol.

For those who say she's got no talent/can't sing, check out this youtube video:

Totally awesome. :D

haha, you'd be surprised at the amount of people who STILL think she can't sing

i cant stand her.her music is awful.

There's already a thread (http://cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=118725).

I LOVE HER!!!!!!! however, i think her songs get way too overplayed, so i recently bought her CD. the songs on it that aren't released singles are actually very good, and she has a hand in writing all of them. so keep the awesome work, Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga dresses kind of funky, and when she performs you can't but wonder if she's insane or something :lol: That's what makes her likeable though haha.

You've got to admire her nerve for the clothes she wears though.

Man, I wish she still had that long wig, her wig (or is it her actual hair?) is short now... I liked the bow-thing she used to do with her hair.

I like Love Game

Pokerface and Love Game :love: I could listen to em forever!

I think she's kinda over-rated. Paparazzi is tolerable, in my opinion but the others are so overplayed that they really annoy me now. She can't sing for sh!t live either. You've got to give it to her for trying, though.

I LOVE Lady Gaga. I think shes one of the best pop artists to come out in a while. She has an amazing voice, and she's very original. Her album is one of the onl albums that I like every song on it. My favourite songs from her are "Summerboy", "Paper Gangsta", "Poker Face", "Just Dance" and "Rock Show"(Rock Show isn't on the albulm)

My younger cousin is a fan of hers. I'm not -- she's not really my cup of tea :p. But I have heard of her before though. Definitely different... that's pretty much what I can say there.

I do like some of her songs (especially Poker Face), as they have catchy beats that are good for dancing to at parties etc., but I really do not like Lady Gaga as an artist. I know that she does have musical ability unlike other pop stars, can play an instrument, yada yada, but maybe its just that she's not my cup of tea, or the style of music I normally listen to. Either way, I don't hate her, but doubt I'll ever love her or buy an album.

I actually think she is quite decent live, a lot more then most other artists are. Her live acoustic versions of her songs are amazing, too.

yes, her acoustics are great.

off-topic, but Electricfeel, is your name taken from the MGMT song?

Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick!
Tuuuunnneee!

I like her! Wasn't keen on Poker Face but like all her others!
She's so different to other artists

I like some of her songs, but I dont really like her style :/

I think she's great! Minus the atrocity that was the Paparazzi video, I think she is a really good pop artist. I love her voice, her songs are fun....her dress sense is a little strange but all in all I like her a lot! :D

I'm the kind of person who usually strays away from mainstream music, especially pop, but I must say that Lady Gaga has good reason to be popular. First of all, her songs are catchy. They're not the best, definitely not, but they're as catchy as heck. Second, although she doesn't have the best voice live, she is a great performer. I watched her performance of Poker Face on American Idol last season; AMAZING performance. Just brilliant.
Her songs are very much overplayed on the radio, and that tends to make her songs become a bit annoying to listen to, but she, as an artist, is definitely one of the big sensations of the music industry, at the moment.

I'm not to fond of her fashion sense, though. Sure, it's unique and revolutionary (I guess. hahaha) but it's not a very flattering look. :lol:

I don't like her. Seems like a Christina Aguilera rip-off, and a less talented one at that

I really do not like her music at all, it all sounds the same to me, and it's just kinda stupid.

I have to agree on the fact that some of her lyrics are dumb. Paparazzi's lyrics get on my nerves, that song is not my cup of tea from her. Poker Face's lyrics make absouletly no sense, but the song makes up for that because it has a catchy beat, and the quirky lyrics kind of grow on you after awhile. :p

Actually, i can make sense out of Poker Face, and it sends a decent message actually (if i interpreted it properly :lol:)

Hmm, true. I saw her performance at the VMA's, and I didn't think she sounded half-bad. She is an amazing performer, and seems to really get into the theme of the song. I just kept getting annoyed all night by her ugly outfits! :lol: I'm still happy she won "Best New Artist" though, and am thankful she took off that stupid red mask she was wearing on her face during her acceptance speech!

People like her use gimmicks to hide their mediocre talent. I thought her bringing the girl in a wheelchair on stage and then walking around with a crutch was demeaning to handicapped people.

By the time she did the piano thing with the blood, I couldn't watch anymore. If the song was good, I might have made it, because one of my favorite dancers was back-up and had a very short dance with her, but I found the song to be repetitive and boring.

I can't listen to any of her techno stuff, but her music can really be quite beautiful when you listen to her acoustic

That piano part really bothered me too, it was just annoying. I think the point of the blood is because in the video for Paparazzi, supposedly the boy she's talking about in the song pushes her off of the roof of a builiding, or something like that, so I'm guessing that's what that whole part was about. I was a teeny bit grossed out by that, it was kind of wierd to see her hanging by a chandiler with blood running down her face! :lol:

I only caught the end of her performance but she really does have a pretty powerful voice, maybe a bit nasally, but better than most pop artists these days

Definitly agree. I want to rip my ears off when I hear Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus singing live. It sounds awful! I just wish people who had actual talent could get famous these days :grumble: It just bothers me when people get famous off of being on Disney Channel.

some Disney singers are ok but others should be banned from singing :lol:

some Disney singers are ok but others should be banned from singing :lol:

:lol: Absolutely! Such as Miley Cyrus! :rotfl:

These past two days, I've been listening to her a lot more and she's actually really good. Amazing voice when she's not being auto tuned and especially when there's not a million electronic sound effects being played behind her. I have yet to listen to any of her acoustic stuff, though. I've just mainly been listening to the other songs on her album The Fame that aren't played on the radio. My favorite is Brown Eyes. It's a lot different to her other stuff and she really shows off what a great voice she has in it.

What I love about Lady GaGa is that she's not like every other pop star. She is really eccentric and umpredictable, like you never know what she's going to do next. Like the VMAs, for example. That was an amazing performance. I dislike how they edit her voice so much; she sounds so much better live than on the record. I like Poker Face, Just Dance and Paparazzi a lot.

I like her style a lot, and her songs as well, but her style of clothing and video-clipping is just unacceptable IMO.

Haha, I agree. And her songs are just awesome. :rockon:

I love Lady Gaga, concerning her dressing style, I think that's part of what makes her so awesome. Her style is crazy, she's probably the genuinely weirdest celebrity out there, and that's what I love about her. Her music is pretty good too, it's absolutely meaningless, but the style and beat of it is so catchy. Has anyone heard Bad Romance yet? I think it's one of her best.

I have heard Bad Romance, but, unlike all the other songs by Lady GaGa, it doesn't seem anything special. It's kinda like her other songs. :shrug: But, who knows, maybe I like it after a while when it will being played on the radio. :D

I actually haven't heard Bad Romance yet. Is that one of her songs coming out off of The Fame Monster? Because I don't remember there being a song titled that off of The Fame.

And I agree with you! Lady Gaga being so different from everyone else makes her awesome! So many other celebrities out there are concerned about what everyone thinks of them, and because Gaga doesn't do that, that's why she's awesome!

She is really eccentric and umpredictable,

Manufactured image.

Compared to music acts of the past, she's about as eccentric and unpredictable as a brick.

I've listened to Bad Romance, and I have fallen in complete and total love with it! :love: The lyrics don't make much sense to me personally, but it's a really great song. It sounds a bit synthesized for me, but still is really good! I'm glad to be hearing it more on radios now, because I have not yet had the chance to add it to my iPod. :lol:

I absolutely love Bad Romance! You can hear a couple of her other songs from Monster on youtube and they all sound awesome! I would like to hear some more ballads from her though she has such a beautiful voice. We all know she can do a good dance song. :)

Manufactured image.

Compared to music acts of the past, she's about as eccentric and unpredictable as a brick.This is actually not true with Lady Gaga. For one while her music is the anti-statement of modern pop radio music, she's hardly a Madonna putting up an act or fitting to a manufactured image the studio's have painted her. She's the exact opposite of what Madonna was.

Btw, has anyone seen the Bad Romance video? It's probably too innapropriate to post here. But it's pretty crazy, but I dig the almost Kubrickian nature of it. I kind of got a 2001 homage from it.

I would say the only hint of a 2001 homage is at the beginning.

I would say the only hint of a 2001 homage is at the beginning.It's more the room itself (with the bed and stag heads), I noticed this towards the end of the video.

Well, I basically still hate all of her popular music but I like her not as well known stuff. She's one of the few artists I've actually liked the music videos MORE than the actual music...Her acoustics are still amazing though

Really? The Just Dance music video wasn't too great to me, and neither was Poker Face for me. :shrug: The Paparazzi music video is pretty great, though. I like the part where she calls the police on herself because she killed her boyfriend and she's in that really crazy bumblebee outfit; freaky! The best is when she's getting her mug shot taken, though. Pretty funny! :lol:

Have you all seen her Bad Romance music video?
It's really well done!

and the song is pretty good too. :rockon:

No I have not, and probaley never will. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm sure it's crazy Lady Gaga-ness as always. Her least wierd music video was probaley "Just Dance". I've seen a ton of music videos with people just partying in them. But then you look at ones like "Paparazzi" and wonder "What the heck?" At least I know that's what my parents think. :lol:

Hmm... well... I liked the Just Dance and Bad Romance video-clip, and the Poker Face and Love Game video-clips were well... hmm... ok... but I just can't stand the Paparazzi one... IMO, it shouldn't have been made. :lol:

I haven't seen the clips for 'Bad Romance' (:lol: Haven't even heard that song anywhere) or 'Love Game', I've really liked the others. Lady Gaga's crazy fashion sense and style is what makes her so famous. It's also what makes her far more interesting.

Bad Romance has been on repeat on my iPod for the past couple of days! :p I am completely addicted to the song! It has such a catchy beat and lyrics! I think it's Gaga's best!

Also, has anyone heard her song, Sleepless? She performed it on the American Music Awards and Ellen. It's actually pretty slow and not synthesized and done over alot. It's really good! I recommended checking out! :)

She's kinda freaking me out. xD I like artists to be innovative, but not so much that they scare you. Just like Marylin Manson. :scared:

Yeah, some of her outfits are cool, but about 60% of the time it's unflattering and it seems like she's trying too hard to be innovative ahaha.

Man, her performance at the VMA still gives me the chills! It was so epic--just when I think I'll get tired of her, she comes up with something new. XD

The Bad Romance Music Video was pretty impressive, albeit a bit dirty (but hey that's her style). The choreographing was fantastic, as well as her various outfits, the camera/lighting work too. The song is pretty good in itself; however, I still prefer paparazzi. :) The vocals for Bad Romance sound less auto-tuned and more true to Lady Gaga's singing voice.

Yes, it was quite impressive! She sounded the best she's ever sounded live. My favorite part was when she started playing the piano and singing her song Speechless. :wow: It's one of my new favorite songs by her.

I really loved the choreography too! It was probaley the best I've seen in any of her music videos that I've watched. Some of the Poker Face choreography was cool too, but I didn't care for it much, which was disappointing because that was my favorite Lady Gaga song before Bad Romance came along.

Big fan of hers....Who likes her new album Fame Monster??

Yes, it was quite impressive! She sounded the best she's ever sounded live. My favorite part was when she started playing the piano and singing her song Speechless. :wow: It's one of my new favorite songs by her.

Wow, I checked out the Youtube video of her live on Ellen Degeneres Show -- Speechless is fantastic! You can really feel the raw emotion and her vocals are amazing. I can't stop listening -- gives me the chills every time.

Big fan of hers....Who likes her new album Fame Monster??

Me! I haven't gotten to listen to the whole thing yet, but if the whole album sounds like Bad Romance or Speechless, I'll definitely love it.

And yes Shingie, her vocals are quite amazing in the song. I love how much emotion she put into it. I found out online that the song was written to her dad because he is an acholic and she wanted him to stop drinking.

I like her style, and Poker Face is a great tune. I actually quite like Bad Romance, too. She has imagination and knows how to make an entrance.

Definitely! I can't wait till this year's VMA's so I can see if she's performing or not; I think they should always have Lady Gaga, she brings the house down!

Has anyone heard anything of The Fame Monster besides Bad Romance and Speechless? I think this album could possibly top The Fame. She has alot of really good songs on here, that I think represents how she's growing as an artist.

The Fame Monster is amazing. I love it. My favourites are Bad Romance, Dance In The Dark, and Monster.

The Fame Monster is amazing. I love it. My favourites are Bad Romance, Dance In The Dark, and Monster.

Yes, Dance In the Dark is really good, I think it's probaly one of the best on the album. I realized that this is like the first song Gaga's actually ever wrote that doesn't use first person! She says "she" instead of "I" in the song! :lol:

Lady Gaga's music is really catchy. Like those songs you can bop to in the subway station. My two favourites are Poker Face and Bad Romance! :)

My two favourites are Poker Face and Bad Romance!Those are my two favorites as well. Just Dance is ok too. Her songs have a great beat to them, and I like her vocals.

I am currently obsessed with Boys, Boys, Boys and Money Honey. Neither one of them was released as a single, so they're not as well known, but they are definitely really catchy! I can't get them out of my head sometimes!

Does anyone like any songs off The Fame Monster besides Bad Romance? She has some pretty good ones off of it; I think it could quite possibly top her first album.

I love pretty much every song on there! My favorite is Speechless. The only one I'm not huge about is Teeth ,but it's still kind of catchy. I think Telephone will be a huge hit for her.

I hope Telephone is a huge hit! So far, I've only heard that here in the United States, it's gone to number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, but I think if radio stations start playing it more it could start climbing the charts.

And congrats to Gaga for winning two Grammy awards last night! She won "Best Dance Recording" for Poker Face and "Best Electronic/Dance Album" for The Fame. I still can't believe Taylor Swift beat her out for "Album of the Year" though...:grumble:

Did you ever attend Lady Gaga Concert ? I got my ticket for her concert on 26 of this month from TicketFront.com . It will be great listening to her Live:rockon:

Nope, but I'd really like to! You're so lucky! I don't think my mom would let me, as she doesn't exactly like Lady Gaga too much. :lol: Not that I think any mom actually does. My mom just doesn't like some of her songs and videos, which I sort of understand...:lol:

I remember going to see her live and having people take their children out because they felt it was a bit over the top to be exposing their kids to- which was understandable, and I appreciate her need to be unacceptable and cool, but frankly I wouldn't be a fan. I think she tries too hard to be different, when in fact her mere songs are different enough to warrant her overall inclusion in the scene. I'm still not bought though, because I really only like the songs that have made the charts... which seems to say that I disregard the rest; I assure you that I listened to both The Fame and the Fame Monster, and I just didn't like her overall...

i really like lady gaga. my mom, in particular, loves her. yeah, weird. she plays alejendro over and over again super loud on the computer. its tolerable the first fifty times, but the next eighty, it gets on your nerves. but, yeah, i really love pokerface. i actually drew a big blue lightningbolt on my cheek with paint, wore some big sunglasses and took pictures of me. that was awesome.

I think Lady Gaga brought pop music to another, different level. She is not afraid to cross boundaries and has no limits whatsoever. I admit that she is quite artistic and her songs are rather catchy.. but still. I don't understand her attitude at all, although that is exactly, among her music of course, that makes her such a success.

Madonna had already done that 20-something years earlier. Lady Gaga, interesting as I find her, hasn't done anything revolutionary.

I saw the video for "Telephone" a while back and, just like the song, it is ghastly.

I agree with you. But still, people are already referring to her as '' the princess/queen of pop''. Clearly, they are exaggerating, but there you go.

She's very impressive and not too bad to listen to. I can say I like her style and music, she's innovative and at least more interesting than Kesha and the like. I would go see her in concert if I could.

I love Lady GaGa, she's so out there !
Brilliant - I think she could go down in history.

Bit like David Bowie, etc !

Have you guys seen the video to Alejandro? I think it's terrible :/

I just came on here to comment about that song. Does anybody else think it sounds a lot like Don't Turn Around by Ace of Base? I'm not a big Lady Gaga fan & even though I enjoy SOME of her songs, I don't go "gaga" for them (heehee). I'm a huge Ace of Base fan & it really irritates me that the media & big Gaga fans are screaming bloody murder that Christina Aguilera is coping Gaga but instead of saying "Gaga copied Ace of Base", there's remixes of Alejandro & Don't Turn Around. I just wish it'll be fair & give Gaga the same scrutiny that Aguilera is getting

I jam out to some of her songs. They are quite catchy and love them! Her as a person? Not so sure.

She's great! A little hit-making machine - every single she's released has been awesome - Bad Romance is probably my favourite one. Her music videos are really cool aswell.

So I just discovered that one of Gaga's songs has references to Hitchcock! :wow: I saw this in someone's sig on a different forum-

I want your Psycho, your Vertigo stick
I want you in my Rear Window, baby, you're sick

Now I don't care for Gaga so this basterdization of my favorite director's films is irritating. If I liked the song and/or artist I'd probably find it cool :p

Now that being said, she has a few decent songs (Bad Romance def not one of 'em) and some are great to dance to (ie Telephone for Cha-Cha-Cha)

What? She's a fan of Hitchcock if I recall. If she's a fan, how is what she did offensive?

All publicity is good publicity ;)

She is? Regardless they're double-entendres in which she turns the titles into something dirty so why it is offensive should be obvious. :relax:

Not to mention it's an incredibly annoying song! :p

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la! (repeated throughout many times) :rolleyes:

There's nothing offensive about those lyrics. I think you don't like it when someone "besmirches" Hitchcock's name because he's your favorite filmmaker.

There's nothing offensive about those lyrics.

Are you kidding me? :lol: Yes there is, and I could list the meaning of each but it wouldn't be appropriate for this family friendly forum ;)

Uh, are you kidding me? Yes there is, and I could list the meaning of each but it wouldn't be appropriate for this family friendly forum ;)

It's only offensive if you don't know what she's talking about in those lines. Read her thoughts on those lines. Here, I'll provide them:

"What I'm really trying to say is I want the deepest, darkest, sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much."

There's nothing offensive about that. Everyone has those parts. She just chose to make Hitchcock references to get her point across.

I actually like the song and the music video even more.

Even if that's the case, doesn't change the fact it's an annoying song. :p

All publicity is good publicity ;)

Hah, well that's true...I guess that's cool if it causes someone to watch those movies :)

At least Lady Gaga has the class to only allude to such acts in her lyrics instead of blatantly and crassly stating them like many artists on the radio these days. Looking at what some other artists get away with saying, it's clear that, if she had wanted to, she could have used far more obvious lyrics in lieu of Hitchcock references and words in other languages.

I don't mind the implied meaning of Gaga's lyrics in Poker Face etc, but there are certain songs I don't like playing too loud on my speakers incase my parents here the words :rotfl:

Didn't realise there was a Gaga thread on here or I would have posted in here sooner! Personally I love her, although I preferred her early on when she wasn't quite as out there, I remember when she first hit the UK and people thought she was strange for going out in a leotard in winter, that seems quite tame now :D

I'm a big lover of pop music and what I love about Gaga is that she's proven you can be a musician and a pop star, most people see pop as a manufactured genre full of people who don't have a proper musical background but Gaga does and I love that :) and she writes the best pop songs around :D

I think she's a bit of a genius with some of her songs. :) Wouldn't say she is the best (Lily Allen is and always will be at the top of my list) but she is not bad at all.

I love her so much!
Hope I get to see her live one day (:

Did anyone hear that she's making an announcement for her new album, Born This Way on New Year's Eve?

I am personally extremely excited! I've been on a bit of a Gaga-low, considering the fact that I've kind of exhausted the repeat button on most of her songs. :lol: I'm really excite for the announcement since we haven't heard new music from her in what feels like forever. I can't remember the last time I heard a Gaga song on the radio to be honest.

I absolutely love Gaga. Every song that she has written is a Godsend. Starting off with Poker Face, Bad Romance, Telephone, Paparazzi etc. She's just had a string of hits, and due to the hard times we face, it's good to see someone willing to defy the odds. And I'm glad that she does not follow the trends when it comes to fashion. She loves to be an individual and doesn't care what anyone thinks about it. She's an excellent singer/songwriter and hopefully will be around to entertain us for years to come.

i love lady gaga. shes such an amazing artist. i have all her cds and singles and shirts and everything. shes aamzing!

Feb 13- Single Release (Grammys Night)

May 23rd- Album Release :D

Feb 13- Single Release (Grammys Night)

May 23rd- Album Release :D

I know, I'm so excited! I still can't believe we have to wait until May for the album, but as long as we get new music, who cares!? If it's taking this long (well, what feels long) to release and get everything recorded, I think the album's going to be pretty epic.

I do hope she wins some Grammy's this year. Last year she won "Best Dance Album" and "Best Dance Recording" I think, but it seemed like she got a little bit robbed in the bigger categories. :grumble:

What she's up for this year:

Album of the Year - The Fame Monster
Best Pop Female Vocal Performance - Bad Romance
Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals - Telephone (ft. Beyonce)
Bet Pop Vocal Album - The Fame Monster
Best Dance Recording - Dance In the Dark

What do you think? As good as you expected? Better or just a bit of a disappointment?

Share your thoughts on the new hit single that flew to the top of the iTunes charts in over 21 countries less than 12 hours after its release.

I personally think its exactly what ive been waiting for. After she announced that she was done singing about fame i had a rough idea about what was going to be next.

Im exited for the next single and the album which will be released in may.

Born This Way is awesome! I hear a hint of Madonna when listening to the song. The lyrics, I personally think, are great and I think Gaga did a great job with it. Maybe she'll even perform it at the Grammy's tonight?

And speaking of the Grammy's, we should cross our fingers she takes home some awards tonight. And her performance is probably going to be epic.

Some people have been saying they were disappointed due to extreme overhyping, but Born This Way exceeded my expectations. I saw the lyrics before the song was released and I was like oh god, this is gonna be some preachy, melodramatic, cheesy flop. But then it was a Madonna-esque club number, which I found hugely relieving. And it definitely echoes "Express Yourself," which is one of like 4 Madonna songs that I like, so I was actually pleased about it. That being said, I wouldn't call it my favorite Gaga song. Still awesome, though.

I wasn't sure when I first heard Born This Way, but then I wasn't sure with Bad Romance at first and it didn't stop me loving it after a few plays :D

I think for me it's lost a little bit of the Gaga uniqueness, usually her songs I just can't imagine being sung by anybody else but this one has a bit of a generic sound, I'm liking it more each time I hear it though :) and the lyrics are definitely Gaga, no doubt about that :D

I'm excited for her new album, The Fame was amazing, as was The Fame Monster :) I couldn't fault any of the new tracks on The Fame Monster especially so I'm hoping this album will be one of those albums where I don't skip a track :D

New album is out now, any thoughts? I really love it, which surprised me since I didn't really care for any singles released (although Judas did slowly grow on me). Favorite songs include Bloody Mary, Bad Kids, Highway Unicorn (Road To Love), and Heavy Metal Lover. That said, I still prefer the previous albums to this one at the moment.

I only like Electric Chapel and Government Hooker. I've never listened to 80's music of this genre...maybe that's why.

i love the new album!!! so freakin amazinggg!!!! so good imo.

I've found myself pounded into submission by the saturation campaign of the last eight months or so. I can't call myself a true fan, but I like some of the songs and respect what she's doing. However, it does seem like she's trying to compress Madonna's nearly three-decade career arc into under five years, which is just a bit jarring. The response to recent work (particularly Judas) indicates a shift in popular perception and political climate even from the tail end of the Bush years which is somewhat heartening. However, it does make me laugh remembering that there was "controversy" over the video for "Like a Prayer."

I was disappointed in the singles as well to be honest, it was Hair and Edge of Glory that persuaded me to buy the album in the end, very glad I did though! I just think Edge of Glory would have made a better lead single, but then I guess Born This Way was a talking point and helps that it's the name of the album too. Judas has grown on me a lot, although there are a lot of similarities to Bad Romance in my opinion, not that that makes it bad.

These are two of my favourite songs on the album too, when I first got it I listened to Electric Chapel over and over :) at the moment I'm loving Marry The Night, could see it being a single in the future, I'd be really happy if it is :)

I only got the standard version of the album in the end as I didn't think I could afford the extra money for 3 new songs and remixes which I'm not keen on, are any of the new songs on the deluxe version worth checking out? :)

yes. all 3 are amazing!!

I think Lady Gaga is a Madonna wannabe and her music videos have become so weird but I can't deny the beat of many of her songs makes for good dance numbers. :p Her songs have been featured on Dancing with the Stars quite a few times...usually for a team Cha-Cha-Cha or something. They are also great for West Coast Swing. :tu: I enjoy dancing to Just Dance, Telephone, Bad Romance, Alejando, and Born This Way...even though a couple of those are pretty annoying to listen to at any other time, lol. As for her latest song Judas, I don't like it and I'm not quite sure I understand what the context is supposed to be, other then that Judas was the disciple who betrayed Jesus of course.

I LOVE Judas!!! THat is all. I haven't really liked anything else from the album except for Judas and Born This Way. I feel like, with the exception of Judas, she's losing some of her edge.

Thanks, I'll have to check them out! :D

I tagree she's losing that edge, but for me I thought Born This Way was too generic, when it first came out I just though "anyone could have written/sang this" and what I like about Gaga is that she puts her own style on things, yes she gets compared to a lot of artists, ones she admits to taking influence from, but her songs still stood out against other songs on the radio. Born This Way didn't in my opinion :( But Judas has definitely grown on me :tu:

What do people make of her music videos? For me, I find them a bit too over the top, at the end of the day I usually watch a music video just to hear the song and see the dance moves, and having a 9 minute video puts me off a bit. I did like the Telephone video though :)

I think the only ones I saw were Just Dance and Bad Romance. Has anyone heard the Lullaby Version of Bloody Mary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCFJ6zzEr4)? I think it's actually very pretty.

i think her videos are amazing. they are art works and thats what she dedicates her life to so..

i think there amazing. im a huge gaga fan and always will be

I'm a big fan too, I think The Fame Monster is one of my all time favourite albums, and I have a lot of respect for what she does. When she first came out I was glad she doing something with pop music, not just generic like other artists and I agree that her passion and dedication is what sets her apart :tu: I think sometimes the art/fashion side goes way over my head thought :lol:

I think I got what I asked for with the Edge of Glory video though, back to basics a bit :lol: I was hoping for something that echoed the lyrics a bit more in that song, I think it's a powerful song and the video didn't reflect it as much.

she's losing some of her edge.

It's funny you say that cause I just heard her new one "Edge of Glory" and I was loving the song while not even realizing it was Gaga, lol.

Oh, and I discovered this vid the other day...she was fairly cute and normal at one point, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVEG793G3N4

I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I actually enjoy Lady Gaga from time to time (it's often playing at work) :lol: I do not, however, enjoy that she seems to think she's the voice for the LGBT community :shrug: Same with Katy Perry, rubs me up the wrong way.

I like that Lady Gaga isn't like other pop stars at the moment, she's ridiculous and out there, but I like that (even if it is a little contrived).

I don't think that Gaga thinks she's the entire voice for the LGBT community but I like that she's reaching out to people that way. Born This Way signifies that it doesn't matter who you are because you were born this way and you have to accept that. I love the song and think it sends a good message to people. I haven't gotten the album because my mom and I listened to previews of it via Facebook and didn't like some of the songs on there. I do like Born This Way and Edge of Glory though.

I would also say that the Glee cast rocked on Bad Romance and Born This Way. I have both of those songs on two of my Glee albums.

I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga and the positivity she's brought to the LGBT community (as opposed to Katy Perry who I think just needs to go away and stop trying so hard and stop trying to right her wrongs) but I think she's going on a bit too much. Like suddenly all these pop stars are cashing in on the LGBT market and it just rubs me up the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, I think she's genuine, I just think she needs to give it a rest for a while. Maybe I'm not good at explaining it, the LGBT community needs as much support as it can get, I just don't really think Lady Gaga is the right person to be the public face pushing it.

Anyway, I didn't mean to politicise it. Her music is fun and very much a guilty pleasure. Plus Weird Al did an awesome job with Born This Way :lol:

I find Katy Perry is generally a bit more tolerable then Gaga, but maybe that's just me :whistle:

They certainly both have their annoying songs though. I mean I don't want to listen to "Waking Up in Vegas" or "Last Friday Night" any more then I do "Poker Face", "Paparazzi", or "Judas"

Oh I meant in terms of what they've done/tried to do for the LGBT community. I actually prefer Gaga over Katy Perry music-wise.

Sorry to come in here and suck out all the fun :p

I get where you're coming from, Hysteria, but I don't think Gaga's trying to "cash in" on that. I think she's genuinely trying to support a group of people who are overlooked a lot because of who they are. I like that about her. And I don't think you're "sucking the fun" out of this thread. It's a genuine thing to be concerned about.

I like Lady Gaga's song.I heard a song in a Party.It was a rock and exciting song.

(http://www.stufftodoinkeywest.com/)

Why I recently lost respect about her... I think it's a good thing to express yourself, but as an artist, through your music, and not by drawing the paparazzis attention with your wardrobe :/

I loved Edge Of Glory though :)

I do think some of her wardrobe choices are a bit out there and that she should tone it down. But I do like her expression sometimes.

I loved her new album! My definite favourite is "You and I". Why doesn't she make more rock ballads like that and "Speechless"?! I also like Bloody Mary (A LOT!) Americano, Born This Way, Electric Chapel and Marry The Night. Scheibe has a good beat :rockon:

Did any of you guys watch her performance at the VMAs last Sunday? Best performance of the night, PLUS Brian May from Queen played guitar with her, wich was a definite plus :clap: I was starting to get a bit tired of Lady Gaga and her whole over-the-top craziness, but that performance blew my mind, she's really very talented.

Plus, I LOVE her Joe Calderone character, lol. I have a thing for really theatrical characters XD

I don't think the songs are that well written or that she's a great singer, the songs are all pretty catchy though.

I think her songs (that she writes herself) are the best-written in pop music around today. The lyrics are actually really smart and witty. And, as you said, the music is so catchy :) And sorry but I disagree about her singing too. She is classically trained and if you ever hear her live performances you will know that she is an amazing singer. She has a very strong voice and she doesn't rely heavily on editing in the recording studio that many pop singers do today.

I LOVE Gaga! :D Literally Lady Gaga, Harry Potter and Wicked (the musical) are my passions in life! I saw her last tour The Monster Ball and it was easily the best concert I have ever been too (I met her afterwards too she is soooo nice!). I am obsessed with her latest album Born This Way and cannot wait for her next tour!

In my opinion, the greatest artist of our generation! (And many legends agree with me :))

I agree. Gaga is really good at what she does, and she even sings well live, a feat that many artists have trouble with. She's just awesome.

Poker Face just exploded and I couldn't resist. Since then I've really liked her music. Even if some of the things she does is pretty ridiculous. No one can deny that she's really changed things around the pop music industry.

*plooka plooka*

I didn't like Lady Gaga at first, "Pokerface" really annoyed me.

But then I came to like her music, I guess through "Paparazzi" which I liked very much; I also liked "Bad Romance" and completely fell in love with "Telephone" <3
I don't really like the more recent stuff, though; it's nice music, but to me it's not as special as the songs I mentioned before. Especially with "Judas" I had the feeling she wants to sell it through "scandalous" title and lyrics.
So, I'm not a die-hard fan, but I like some of her songs very much.
I also kind of like the way she dresses, although that meat-dress of hers totally freaked me out >__>

She used to be that kinda artist I'd go "awwwww" at. Now she does rather addicting songs with good beat, even more than before... Can't decide which I like the best.

Not too interested in her lyrics though. Mostly. They can be fun and cool, but rarely very meaningful to me.

My mom really likes "Marry the Night." I think she really likes the beat of the song.

I cannot begin to explain my admiration for this woman. I would be a completely different person if I hadn't met her music, and she helped me out of depression and so many other obstacles... I wish more people would see what a brilliant artist she is, instead of assuming she's just another typical pop star... I think Born This Way is her best album yet. It contains so many themes like rebirth, identity, forgiving your betrayer, not letting your past determine your future, etc.

And she's also incredibly talented. She's been trained to play piano since she was 4, and she is an excellent piano player. She also writes and composes all of her music.. Her music videos also add even more depth to her songs. For instance, on the surface Telephone may seem like a song about dancing in a club and not answering your phone but it's actually a metaphor for being constrained by society and people around you..which is illustrated in the video where she escapes from a prison (symbolic for constraint) and she finds freedom. To almost every song she writes, there is a deeper meaning behind it.

Her fashion isn't exactly for shock value, it's just a part of who she is. Since she was as young as 5 she showed her interests in fashion different from others. The only reason she didn't dress as extravagantly as a teen was because she went to a Catholic school and her peers bullied her relentlessly for it. Only when she was free of those constraints was she able to be herself and express herself through fashion. Not only is her fashion to help her be herself, its to show her fans to be themselves and not be afraid to be a little different. Her constant changing of wigs, clothes, and makeup also symbolizes her themes of rebirth.
