^OMG Yes! Absolutely horrid and gross. I can't believe X-tina did such a garbage video. It looked so damn cheap. :grumpy Just look at it. It's just cheap....she looks crazy with that cheap looking catwoman outfit on. Ugh. I'm seriously disappointed in X-tina for that video. :no

dddaiyamondo 30th October 2008 05:16 AM

^IKR the entire thing looks like a bunch of hideous Halloween costumes. And she couldn't be ripping off Lady Gaga any harder with the bangs and the hood.

bondingo 30th October 2008 05:33 AM

I absolutely adore Christina, but that video...seriously? She spent the whole time in the editing booth with brief glimpses of her characters. I couldn't even believe how much it failed to live up to its potential.

Anyway, The Fame is a great album. Its already grown on me a lot. Paper Gangsta is easily my favorite song on the entire album. There's just something amazing about it.

Re:★ 31st October 2008 07:06 AM

Everything about Chrissy Ag has sucked since Ain't Another Man if I may say so. That includes Back to Basics. :puke

I'm a new fan of Lady G since Tuesday. I love her fashion sense. :P

Agreed, I haven't liked her for a long time. After Stripped she went so far downhill.

EDIT: I've been listeing to The Fame for a while, and I think a lot of it relies on style over substance. Songs like "Beautiful Dirty Rich," "Love Game," and "Money Honey" are really hollow to me; not much substance at all. She really shines when she's actually singing and using real melodies ("Paparazzi," "Poker Face," "Eh Eh").

Kingdom 1st November 2008 04:26 AM

i got the US retail of The Fame and i must say, i love "Starstruck" more than any of the songs on the canadian release!

MemorialAddress 1st November 2008 05:06 AM

I bought the US version today :D
But I realized it doesn't have the track Again Again, so I kept that one from my old DL hehehe

Lee_Hamasaki 1st November 2008 01:33 PM

i love GaGA <3

se7entheaven 1st November 2008 05:03 PM

I bought teh EU version
finally ^^
I just started to like her
JUST DANCE !!!

p3ayu 2nd November 2008 08:33 PM

I bought the album online last night while it was still super cheap since I couldn't make it to the store before today. I'm really excited about it even though I've been listening to the version I downloaded for the past 2-3 weeks :)

About the whole Christina thing though...I think although her new look resembles Lady Gaga a lot, they're so different to me that the "copying" idea is getting old. Not too happy with the KGB video. I loved Back to Basics and this new shift in styles is still growing on me :/

Temari_2 6th November 2008 02:20 AM

I didn't know that Lady Gaga released a music video for "Beautiful Dirty Rich". I love her originality and how she's bringing something new and fresh to the table.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvhwIpspk-w

dddaiyamondo 6th November 2008 02:57 AM

^I didn't either. Anyway, from Billboard:

Quote:

Lady GaGa's debut Streamline/Interscope album, "The Fame," bows at No. 17 with 24,000. The set's first single, "Just Dance," debuts on the Mainstream Top 40 radio airplay chart this week at No. 34, after peaking at No. 2 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in June.
Wow, that sucks!

Kaiouforever 6th November 2008 03:38 AM

But she gets an international release, so as long as she sells well worldwide, I think that's good, especially for a debut artist! Not everyone can be in the top 10...and we'll be supporting her. =]

Damn I was expecting higher. Her single "Just Dance" went platinum in Australia.

dddaiyamondo 6th November 2008 05:11 AM

^Maybe she'll be like Madonna and do OK in the States and great elsewhere?

Meat Pao 6th November 2008 05:39 AM

Oh dear, #17 is too low D: I was expecting she'd get into like the top 10 at least. What a shame ):

Aggar 6th November 2008 05:58 AM

I saw her performance in Miss Universe 2008 and I though she was just newcomer with little fame . But then after I saw her PV Poker face .. I started to like her . I love that song .

Well, she's new and newbies tend to get low positions but IMO, her being in the top 20 is GREAT. She hella bettah than Utada did. :cry

IMO, Poker Face wasn't getting enough airplay around the time of it's release so that's prolly why it ended up in that position. I hope her selss continue to rise. I've heard some of her album and so far, it's great. :yes

Poker Face + Just Dance = Dance Anthems of 08 :heart

dddaiyamondo 9th November 2008 10:29 AM

^Yes, and "Starstruck" and also "Paparazzi". I feel like that song could be HUGE!

p3ayu 9th November 2008 09:26 PM

I think there should've been a little more American promotion cause she seriously rocks it and didn't she get pretty good reviews for The Fame?? Oh well, some artists get bigger after the album is released so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

mininamie 10th November 2008 12:21 AM

Just listened to Lady Gaga's song Just Dance and Poker Face. She can sing really well. I like the music videos too. Very talented. Hope she does great in the US.

dddaiyamondo 10th November 2008 10:08 AM

Am I the only one who didn't know Lady Gaga wrote "Elevator" from the new PCD album? I love that song so much, now I know why! Here's the link for you guys:

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

Kaiouforever 16th November 2008 09:06 PM

^I knew she wrote a song, I just didn't know which one. Lady GaGa is an awesome performer AND writer!

hikaricore 16th November 2008 09:10 PM

I LOVE Lady GaGa.
I just started listening to her a few days ago.
She's really amazing!
"Just Dance is amazing."

[taskin.ayu] 18th November 2008 06:50 AM

I just read this from some interview with Xtina:

What do you say to those on the Internet who are hinting that you borrowed Lady Gaga’s look?
You know, that’s funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure. I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.


I don't know why, but I find it a bit rude. It's kind of obvious that Lady GaGa is a woman, and how she refers to her as "this person." Like she's a nobody or something. XD

Kaiouforever 18th November 2008 08:14 AM

Haha I think we discussed this a few pages back. I think Xtina just got a little defensive, but didn't mean to come off like that.

dddaiyamondo 18th November 2008 08:36 AM

I honestly don't understand why she'd try to attack Gaga. I mean, how is Xtina gonna front like she doesn't know who she is when her entire look for this album is based around ripping her off?

Meat Pao 18th November 2008 08:47 AM

"I don’t know if it is a man or a woman."

Seriously? :rolleyes

♥ you! 19th November 2008 01:42 AM

I like how Xtina stans are starting to call her Lady Gargoyle :laugh

anyway I finally got around to hearing the album and it isn't that bad. I'm like, obsessed with Poker Face ATM. She should really focus her promo on Europe/Australia/Canada and just forget about the U.S. for now. If Just Dance and Poker Face weren't able to make much impact over there I don't think another song from her album can.

[taskin.ayu] 19th November 2008 11:22 AM

Yeah, the US isn't really receptive to this style of music I guess. I think she would do quite well in the UK though.

*Petit* 19th November 2008 12:43 PM

I think UK would be perfect for it too, allthough I Hear it quite a lot in Paris too. It's one of those songs that were made for europe I guess. Maybe it's a little too far out/glitzy for the US? I*d love to have this music be made popular in the US again though.. DIsco is not dead. :eviltongu:lech

Yeah it's a bit rude, but today you never know. Lady Gaga might be a group, a single lady or even a man. Her newest look is dfinetly a little too similar to gaga's though. =/

MemorialAddress 19th November 2008 08:44 PM

I guess the US just doesn't know how to appreciate good music :weep

Kaiouforever 20th November 2008 06:40 PM

Indeedy! She should focus on overseas promotion since she'll probably have a bigger impact there...even though I'm from the US and I love her :P

*Petit* 20th November 2008 09:07 PM

IN all fairness "Just dance" isen't THAT different from Rihanna's Disturbia, but Lady Gaga's image is like the embodiment of the image of eurotrash and the the rest of her music takes a very different approach in general even if the two songs are close in how they sound. So even if I guess the sound for that song could be right for teh US the whole package isent'.


I just love the lyrics though, they're really what clubbing is all about LOL. In her site she says she wants to bring back the carelessness of dance music in the 90s (eurodance) and to me that's a BIG +!

drewbilation 20th November 2008 10:54 PM

I don't think GaGa should give up on the US at all. in fact, "Just Dance" is currently no. 16 on the Hot 100, and she's at no. 9 on iTunes and still climbing.

edit~ I've just been told "Just Dance" is at no. 4 now!

kang daesung 21st November 2008 01:22 AM

I think Lady Gaga will start to become popular soon. It's gonna be a slow build, but I feel like it's going to really pay off soon! Too bad "Just Dance" is still getting attention when "Poker Face" will probably be all forgotten about :weep

Partino 21st November 2008 01:49 AM

^ on which chart?!?!?

JUST DANCE is

at no. 2 at the Hot Dance Singles

no. 3 at Hot Dance Airplay

no. 14 at the POP 100

and no. 16 at The Billboard Hot 100.

so far so good for our LADY G.



Her album is at no. 1 Top Electronic Albums
and no. 67!!! :thud at The Billboard 200!!!


EDIT: Source and Source, btw. :laugh

drewbilation 21st November 2008 03:48 AM

it's 4 on iTunes!

Kaiouforever 21st November 2008 04:12 AM

How is "Just Dance" just NOW getting into the top 20?! I feel like it's been around so long...but at least she's finally getting more popular!

kang daesung 21st November 2008 06:19 AM

^I know right? I remember hearing the song in the clubs in like June!

MemorialAddress 21st November 2008 06:23 AM

That kinda happened with Pink's album I'm Not Dead! I'll just quote from wiki cause I'm lazy.

"Who Knew" was released as the second single in May 2006 and initially failed to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but it later debuted at number ninety-five in March 2007. It was re-released in the U.S. in June 2007, and had peaked at number nine by mid September. It reached the top ten in other countries, including Australia and the UK. The next single, "U + Ur Hand", took three months to chart on the Hot 100 and peaked at number nine in April 2007.

That was so strange!

@ kang daesung. SRSLY! I remember first hearing Just Dance on the radio back in APRIL! The song has been around foreverrrr, at least finally she is getting some success in the states.

kang daesung 22nd November 2008 06:23 AM

^Yeah, I remember I went to my friend's house in April for her birthday and we were watching Logo (the gay channel) and "Just Dance" came on and I texted the artist's name to myself so I would remember :laugh And here we are over 6 months later and it's finally becoming popular.

Kaiouforever 22nd November 2008 05:35 PM

Well better late than never I suppose! We have to keep the Lady GaGa love alive!!

sibby 23rd November 2008 08:41 AM

YAY. i forgot to tell everyone here.

LADY GAGA - JUST DANCE IS FINALLY PLAYING IN THE RADIOS IN SINGAPORE :)

like after. how long -_- !!

Meat Pao 23rd November 2008 08:43 AM

^ REALLY!!!??? WHICH STATION!!?? 987!?

p3ayu 24th November 2008 03:27 AM

I remember seeing the Just Dance video in April, so it sucks that the song is taking a while to get noticed but I'm just glad it is :) Everyone needs to go to forever21.com though cause they have a contest where you could win a trip to NY and meet Gaga <3 Make sure you enter every day!!

drewbilation 30th November 2008 05:44 AM

"Just Dance" is no. 7 on Billboard this week.

Tony G 30th November 2008 07:31 AM

I think Australia is one of the countries Lady Gaga is most popular in. Her songs are everywhere.

I love Paparazzi, hope it's a single. I think the next Australian single is The Fame. Good song too.

Kaiouforever 30th November 2008 07:26 PM

The Fame?! Bleh, not my favorite song...I think Paparazzi would make a better single, or Boys Boys Boys. I am guessing they will release Starstruck in the US, but who knows.

drewbilation 30th November 2008 08:53 PM

"Paper Gangsta" should be a single here, I think.

it's totes my fave song on the album, by quite a lot.

kang daesung 30th November 2008 08:54 PM

I hope "The Fame" flops and fades away quickly like "Beautiful Dirty Rich". So they can release "Paparazzi" :heart

Yeah, The Fame is so irritating. Paparazzi is a much better candidate for the next single. I think has potential to be pretty big.

kang daesung 1st December 2008 12:51 AM

Wow actually I think "Paper Gangsta" is a hot mess, minus the hot part! I like "Starstruck" wayyy better. It reminds me of one of the greats of American music, Fergie!

well i just got into her this week, and believe me, its hard to get her album here in japan, i had to go to osaka to find it x_x (well besides the place where i live has like 0 cd stores XD)

i like the album alot. i'll keep an eye on this girl in the future

GRACE 18th December 2008 08:40 PM

I... obtained we'll say, The Fame last night, and I really like it <3 It's rare I truly enjoy western singers, but I really like her voice and the beat of the songs. Lyrically, well, but I still love it XP

kawaii otaku 20th December 2008 02:28 PM

if you guys didn't know, Just Dance is currently number 3 on billboard :)

Kaiouforever 21st December 2008 03:54 AM

Haha, it's about damn time. I hope "Poker Face" can make it to the top 40 at least

kawaii otaku 21st December 2008 06:53 PM

it probably will ... eventually ...

go go go, Lady GreatGod!

p3ayu 23rd December 2008 02:18 AM

I seriously don't get this you guys. Ever since The Fame was released here in the US, Gaga's reviews have been really positive, yet NO ONE has included it or Just Dance on any of the 'end of year' lists of the best songs and albums of the year. I'm glad she's building a bigger profile here though.

kawaii otaku 23rd December 2008 02:42 AM

i love Empress GaGa!

I think next year she will appear in those lists.

GRACE 23rd December 2008 02:50 AM

She did get nominated for a Grammy for... something, I dunno, I just read it on her wiki page =/...

I finally have the money to buy The Fame, I'm so excited to go shopping after christmas <3

CoriKaru 25th December 2008 07:47 AM

I like her new song. It's the first time I've heard her and I've seen a couple of her live performances. So what's her deal in Japan?

drewbilation 29th December 2008 02:23 AM

"Just Dance" is currently no. 1 on US iTunes.

Celaphorce 29th December 2008 04:22 AM

I want Starstruck to be a single of LoveGame, I'd be excited if that was ever announced, and like others I'm sure she'll be nominated for awards next year and such, I'm glad Katy Perry was nominated, she was prolly my favorite debut of this year, after Lady GaGa, I like my dance music more than my rock/pop/slow songs...lol

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 8th January 2009 01:46 AM

Wow, that was amazing. It's good to know GaGa sounds great without the techno/dance beats.
I still prefer the original but good try. :thumbsup

drewbilation 8th January 2009 03:20 AM

"Just Dance" is no. 1 on Billboard this week, FINALLY!

it's also pretty much guaranteed the no. 1 position in the UK as well.

Poker Face is climbing really fast. It was just at 84 last time I checked.

ronin542001 8th January 2009 07:18 AM

I'll be so upset if Rihanna beats Lady GaGa out in Best Dance Record at the Grammy's. I mean seriously, GaGa is so much more involved in her music and more talented than Rihanna, IMO. I love Rihanna's stuff,don't get me wrong, its just so manufactured...I believe Lady GaGa is a much needed breath of fresh air for the american music scence. I 'd love to see this thought cemented by her taking home this grammy :]

GRACE 10th January 2009 12:06 AM

She was on the Tonight Show last night, I enjoyed her performance~ I wish she didn't have such an ugly costume though...

Beautiful Dirty Rich for the Win!

GRACE 10th January 2009 02:25 AM

^Yep, she was on last night and performed Just Dance

Larisa-chan 11th January 2009 03:41 AM

Bleh... I've officially declared myself a fan, hahaha. I got ahold of her album the other day and I've been listening to it nonstop. So catchy @.@ and I like her voice. And the fact that she writes her lyrics/music. Seeing as she's from Tisch School of the Arts (really prestigious school) I'd expect she'd be talented LOL

ayu-america-27 11th January 2009 06:34 PM

Lady GaGa, simpy put, is AMAZING. It's really cool, cuz I'm a huge beauty pageant nerd too, so I first heard "Just Dance" when she performed it in Vietname all the way back in July. Then I got the album basically the day it came out and fell in love. While "Just Dance" is catchy, I'm in love with "Poker Face" and "Starstruck." :) Very glad she finally hit #1 on the Hot 100. Very glad :)

AyUta 14th January 2009 01:14 AM

I just found out about Lady GaGa today, and I just LOVE 'Just Dance.' :heart It's awesome. I need to listen to her new album now, but from the previews posted way earlier, I only liked one song from them :(

kawaii otaku 14th January 2009 03:43 PM

girll her album is amazing i bought it. <3

and no, the previews really suck
i almost didn't buy the album cuz the previews were so bad ..

but the album is very good!

waterballoon 14th January 2009 04:58 PM

I'm listening to her album now. She's really awesome! Some sick beats... very cool! And her voice sounds really strong actually.

kawaii otaku 14th January 2009 05:22 PM

this beat is sick!!

;p

Miku 14th January 2009 06:12 PM

I'll take your word for it and buy it :yes Off to Best Buy! :laugh

~ayu-cake~ 16th January 2009 11:31 AM

She's getting more and more recognition in the UK atm.
I keep hearing 'Just Dance' whenever I turn on the radio :)

Bought her album recently, and it's just amazing.
I can't think of a track that I actually dislike.

Love it :)

I'm really hoping that she'll tour the UK at some point.

Meat Pao 16th January 2009 12:17 PM

Lady GaGa's slowly gaining some love here in Singapore <3 Yesterday I saw my classmate listening to Just Dance hoho.

sibby 16th January 2009 04:12 PM

IM TRYING TO SPREAD THE GAGA LOVE TOO! I lent my cd to my friend cause she was having gaga "withdrawal symptoms"

whatever it is she's just hooked!

kawaii otaku 6th February 2009 07:40 PM

iirc, Poker Face is now #23 :D

Yooku 6th February 2009 09:31 PM

I know Lady GaGa but I have only heard her songs Just Dance and Poker Face. Just Dance was nothing special but I really liked Poker Face.

futureLOVE 7th February 2009 12:38 AM

I'm going to see GaGa on April 4th!!!! Eeeeeeeek!!! i'm excited ^_^ aaaanddddd it's only like 2 weeks after Britney and PCD!! woot woot!!! :)
