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. 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. 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.

As much as I loved the new album I feel the same way.

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

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? I think it's actually very pretty.

I love that, thanks for sharing! Bad Romance is one of my favourite videos I think

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 I think sometimes the art/fashion side goes way over my head thought

I think I got what I asked for with the Edge of Glory video though, back to basics a bit 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.

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

I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I actually enjoy Lady Gaga from time to time (it's often playing at work) I do not, however, enjoy that she seems to think she's the voice for the LGBT community 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).

[BubblyShell22]

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

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

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

[BubblyShell22]

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.

[jimmii]

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

[Tonks_Animagus]

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

[BubblyShell22]

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.

[HurrahforHermy]

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

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 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 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! 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 )
