Lady Gaga?

[Beirut]

Okay, so this morning I was making breakfast for kid #2 while kid #1 was watching music videos and a Lady Gaga video called Bad Romance came on. Now, I've heard of this trollip but never seen anything of her, I figured just one more flavour of the month, and she probably is, but I have to say, it was a catchy song, a great video, and a pretty good body on a sometimes very good looking girl. And she can sing, too.

Anyway, that's it. I watched a Lady Gaga video and I liked it.

Guilty.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

She has several good songs. Poker face, just dance, bad romance, love game, paparazzi. That video is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen though.

[Strike For The South]

She is so odd....and strangely attractive.

I do like poker face though, I can dance to that all night long.

[Subotan]

She sings songs one can only really appreciate whilst smashed.

I love Lady Gaga! The Bad Romance video is fun, I had the song stuck in my head for days after watching it though. I read in an article that in it, her "character" is supposed to have been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia. I think her backup dancers were imitating Thriller. If you find her fashion choices amusing, she has her own category over at Go Fug Yourself (a funny website about bad celebrity fashion).

I once tried to watch an interview of her from Britain. She came out wearing nothing but giant post-it notes, and things went downhill from there. She actually mentioned early on that she prefers that her friends call her Gaga, and she thinks it's weird of people call her "Lady."

Now, I'll grant that supposedly she is a musical prodigy, and those people tend to be pretty damn weird. But this woman isn't just weird. After having been forced to watch her videos by my roommate who was obsessed with her since before she was famous, I have come to the conclusion that Lady Gaga is bat**** insane. As in Howard Hughes insane. I was also willing to give her songs a chance (it's way outside of my normal taste in music) because of the whole musical prodigy thing, but honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. She's not that great. The average ELO song has more "dancibility" in it than Lady Gaga. (Especially Showdown; that song is awesome.) And don't get me wrong, by the way -- I don't want to act like a musical snob. Hell, I listen to plenty of bad music; two of my favorite AC/DC albums are "Flick of the Switch" and "Fly on the Wall." I just really don't get the whole scene that Lady Gaga comes from.

Oh, and "Paparazzi" sucks. I heard that song before I knew it was Lady Gaga and I already wanted to punch whoever was singing it in the throat.

Poker face is supposedly about her fantasizing about sleeping with a woman while with her boyfriend. Hence "bluffin with my muffin".

No no. With a woman instead of her boyfriend.

[Strike For The South]

No no. With a woman instead of her boyfriend.

I'll watch. I'm cool with that.

[Hooahguy]

I'll watch. I'm cool with that.

wouldnt it be kinda the same anyways?

Well yea except one of thats not a hairy 250 lb man with small genitals.

[Prince Cobra]

Personally, I like both the song and video of Paparazzi (I liked the message of the video). Bad romance song has a catchy melody (haven't watched the video yet). These are in fact my favourite songs from her. I can't say I like the others for a reason I can hardly explain.

[Monk]

Lady Gaga?

No thank you!

Can't stand anything about her, least of all her music.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Here's a version of pokerface with Cartman and Walken accompanying.

[Owen Glyndwr]

Umm no.

I think I'll stay over here with my Beatles and my Kinks and my psychedelic music, thank you very much.

[Fragony]

Wouldn't buy it, but very easy on the ears

[Sigurd]

Lady GahGah!!

[Louis VI the Fat]

I love Lady Gaga! Easily the most exciting new music artist of the moment!


Pokerface rocks.


Even her rubbish songs, her worst outfits, at least always have character. It's all so much cooler than the Britney Spears of this world.

Unlike Britney, Gaga can sing.

[Beirut]

Well I'm not giving up my Floyd collection to buy Gaga concert tickets, I just thought ther video was good.

[Samurai Waki]

I remember all the nonsense about her having a Penis.


or does she?




...sorry, I kind of spaced out there for a minute.

[Veho Nex]

Poker face is a really good song... for some reason it just catches my ear.

[Azathoth]

At first I hated Poker Face, but after hearing it on the radio a few dozen times I now enjoy it. I think there might be subliminal messages in her songs.

[Thermal]

Just dance is ok, but pokerface was better (and as sasaki said, potrays her thinking of a woman whilst with a man, as she said on johnathan ross :P ), paparazzi was different to the first two which shown a new side to her, love game goes back to the electronic beat of just dance/pokerface

Bad romance is great though, oddly the first video shes made (other than a random cheesy italian one on youtube) without her snogging another woman....she also chants RAH RAH AHAHAHAH ROMA ROMA MA, GAGA OH LALA Simply madness

There was the speculation that lord gaga might make a better name, but how could she wear anything that tight

...unless....


....she tucked it in....

...?

Nevermind
Also, whilst her songs are catchy, she really isn't that good live, you may believe so, but I have heard some of her live performance and they are not good.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

The last scene of "Bad Romance" is great, I admit. Also her wardrobe is kinda catchy. But for the rest she's really nothing special.

[Raz]

I think I'll stick with my post-rock / psychedelia / dream pop / shoegaze collection... I have my reasons.

[CountArach]

Her songs are catchy but are completely aweful song writing.
