Yeah, sometimes mashups (or "clever" DJs) lose their dance floor appeal when they change the beat. This works really well. And it makes me smile!

I bought a remix of a Lady Gaga song on iTunes and had to buy $20 of Múm just to get the poo poo out of the iTunes recommendation box and the blood off my hands.

I don't know anything about this Chris Brown song (I stopped listening to him after he beat women and also all his songs suck anyway except he doublemint gum one) but Muh-muh-muh-muh-Monster is my fave new track on the new album for suuuure. I think Bad Romance rules though and Telephone or Alejandro would be a great next single.

My favorite part of the Bad Romance video was spotting all the product placement. Not like it was terribly subtle but it was still fun. 1. Parrot by Starck (some wireless ipod docking speakers that apparently cost $1600) 2. Nemiroff vodka 3. Beats by Dr. Dre headphones/HP tie-in laptops 4. Carrera sunglasses Probably the most subtle, I'm pretty sure group of guys were bidding on Gaga with Wii nunchucks. Edit: Hmm after googling a little bit it seems I missed some vitamin water sitting on a table too. Trisk fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Nov 26, 2009 |

Serious question: what is the crossover point from slightly dark synthpop to full blown urgh pop. I was just listening to Bad Romance on youtube and realize that like the first 30 seconds of the song I could totally listen to unironically. Oh god why did I find that one remix? The Space Cowboy remix of Poker Face is basically normal Poker Face plus the drums the Björk used in Volta (particularly the song "Innocence"). Seriously that's all it took to make it unironically listenable to me.

I haven't listened to any of her songs all the way through yet so I can't comment on the "quality" of her music, but she reminds me of Marilyn Manson in the way that she tries to shock everyone and that's why I honestly can't stand her. and she has a penis. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it is that she's accomplishing. I know what she's doing, but the minutia and why are still rather intriguing. Most stars like her are born from X-factor/American Idol-esque attempts by the recording industry to pick up people to turn into their tools for profit. Gaga isn't... and yet she's allowing herself to live that style of life. She's proven she has the talent and is an actual artist, and the only thing I can assume is that she's ushering in a new era of glam rock with a different flavor. Glam from the 70s was a direct attempt to shut hippies up. Their music was too serious, they were too full of themselves, and actual singer-songwriting acts such as David Bowie, Elton John, Gary Glitter, and T. Rex popped up, soon to be followed by classic rock and mega-acts like Iggy Pop and Kiss. Enter the 80s when this sound was mass-produced and gave us the industry's "pop" we know today where celebrities are made from people who look hot (Britney) or sound great (Mariah, Christina). The underground glam scene has found its fans, but has yet to fill the airwaves with actual talent (USA here). Electric Six, The Ark, Mika, Scissor Sisters and their contemporaries have yet to hit it big with songs of their own about essentially nothing more than fun and glitz with no opinion towards anything. My hope is that Gaga is trying to bust through the industry, punching a hole large enough for these groups to make it big, and essentially hit a reset button on the music industry's retarded stranglehold on the airwaves. I'm sick of the mass-produced R&B-pop bastard hybrid we hear on the radio these days, and really hope Gaga's trying to change things rather than have an ultimate "ha ha i got you" in a few years.

GAGA WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME Amazon have hosed me right off and still haven't delivered my pre-order of the digipack so I went out and bought the regular edition just to keep me going. And now it's taking every bit of willpower I have left to stop me dropping £60 on the super deluxe thing with the book and everything and I AM THIS CLOSE. But it's all good because basically it is amazing.

From her interviews she really does seem to embrace the glam aspect and she constantly references Bowie so I wouldn't be surprised. Some people always bring up listening to Gaga ironically and I really don't see the point. You either like something or you don't for whatever reason. You're trying way too hard if you that's how you listen and talk about music.

If it's because of her visual style and things like the penis stunt, then this may be a "once you see it, you can't unsee it" thing, but imagine someone like Rihanna, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, etc. performing the songs Gaga does in their own wardrobe, style, etc. Doesn't work, does it?

Commercially she is, and it doesn't matter because she's great anyways. She opened for New Kids and the Pussycat Dolls. I mean she's signed to Kon Live/Interscope. Akons label. Not some indie or something.

I'm a recent convert to the Lady GaGa phenomenon, so I went out and bought The Fame Monster the day after it came out at Target. I get it home and listen to it, and realized something wasn't right. Oh wait, that's right, it's been loving censored! So unhappy about this. One of the things I love most about her is that she is so loving raunchy. Besides, "bluffin' with my muffin" and "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" is okay, but yes, let's please omit "gently caress" and "bitch"? I know I'm kind of late to the party here, but drat that really pisses me off. I hope this is resolved soon, and I do NOT want to have to repurchase the entire album because there was absolutely no warning on it that anything was censored.

Tomorrow (well, I guess today, technically) Lady Gaga will be on Ellen, interviewing and performing Bad Romance and Speechless. If you can't be bothered to watch it live, her performance of Speechless is already up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRILEQhJqoo&feature=player_embedded I would say it's one of my least favorite songs on The Fame Monster, but she absolutely nailed it live. It's one of those songs that benefit from the full emotion of a live performance.

That's happened with all the different versions. Apparently the next pressing will be uncensored, but yeah, there's a lot of unhappy little monsters around the world at the moment with regards to this, especially since the single of 'Bad Romance' escaped uncensored.

Didn't mean to come across as a Gaga-tard, just meant it's interesting that someone with all that talent would want to sound pop and be categorized as pop. I'd be trying to do something different with music if I had that talent.

Happy Hippo posted:Music as art vs music as entertainment. Art is entertainment. Gaga is pop because you go where your influences went and follow in their steps in the hopes to go further than they ever could. Bowie and Madonna were pop acts (still are). It could also be argued that irony is a major factor in her performance and you can't be ironic if you don't embody what you're criticizing. "Just Dance" is a killer dance song about what wastes of life people that get into dance music are, and so on, etc. The girl is just starting out but to have hit the scene and be instantly coherent in her message and the path she's walking is extremely exciting. The next five years of material she puts out will be fascinating to follow.

After reading the thread from beginning to end it's pretty funny to see how the thread has mirrored everyone's conversion from disgust/laughing at Lady GaGa to honest appreciation. I don't listen to much pop music, but I'm definitely a convert. My friends may think I'm a weirdo but I just don't care.
