i love the monster ball poster, and susquehanna is like 30 mins away from me! i hope the tickets aren't too expensive :no

ia that the bad romance cover would look much better without the font, especially since it's so bland and not a good color considering where it's positioned.

Bad Romance single has a cover, I guess for the digital release? It'd be cool if the American music system released singles like Japan does (although I think it did work that way many years ago).

I know it sounds like I'm nitpicking but is anyone else bothered that the cover of The Fame: Monster cover has it written as "The Fame Monster"? It makes it sound like 'fame' is an adjective towards 'monster' but it's not!! They should have put the freaking : ! ( :laugh )

I looove the cover for Bad Romance. <3

The Monster Ball promo pic, makes a really cool wallpaper :yes

i believe in the case of the album's theme, it is supposed to be an adjective.
all the songs are written about what the "fame monster" can do to someone.

gorgeous promo pic and single cover :luv2

Are any of the new songs gonna have videos? Probably right?

the photoshopping on her legs is :rofl

@edge and tokyojapanfan: I was actually confused by that at first...

because I thought it was supposed to be "The Fame: Monster" and then it I guess it's "The Fame Monster".

I think the fan made covers had the colon in there? I don't remember.

I love that cover :D!
...
Somehow it reminds me of christmas xD

Monster's release was bumped up a day supposedly, so it's one day close then it was before :3

Bad Romance comes out on iTunes a week or so after it premiers on the radio

Love the Bad Romance cover!! So happy they still sell singles here, I'll be able to hold it in my hands :D lol

And make a European leg for The Monster Ball! I really wanna goooo! :D

Monster is up on Amazon for preorder!! I just preordered it myself <3

I'll dress like an Eskimo :laugh


Interesting. I kind of like it.

That damn Burim group leaked Alejandro already. D: Apparently they have the whole album. :( I hope it doesn't leak.

^ i hope so too :(

i don't want everyone to hear the album until it comes out...but lady gaga is the new "it girl" when it comes to music, IMO. it seems like everyone is watching her, waiting for what's next. leaks are bound to happen and people are going to listen no matter what. even the people on youtube say "don't leak this!!!!" yet, they're also listening to it and were curious enough about it to search for it...so... haha

Alejandro was already half leaked to begin with, since we had "Don't Call My Name"'s snippet =/

Just leave it at that, and I'm okay with that. I do hope no more of it leaks :( as much as I'd like to hear it

I can't wait to hear new songs (^^)))

Alenjendro is a beautiful song, a new style, I would like Lady Gaga release this song as a single, it much better than bad romance xD

Its funny ALejandro is leaked the day after Lady GaGa said "Alejandro is coming" on her twitter!

At least it is better than Sunrise / Sunset

is that a tattoo on her arm on the cover?

^ It is. :)

i like the bad romance cover~

her nose looks really cute though...kinda like Rudolph's nose, all round and red lol

That cover is scary... o__o;;;

ale ale jandro~ hot like Mexico

I still think Just Dance is her best song- I'm suprised it isnt her biggest hit.

I would have preferred one but if it's done right it should be good.

Here she is on the set. http://perezhilton.com/2009-10-16-your-first-look-58

Oh yeah I heard about that. I'm interested to see how it turns out because I can't really picture it in my head...

Video Phone is my least favorite song of Sasha Fierce.. so I hope this new remix will change my mind :)

[In my opinion, Beyoncé picked the worst song as singles xD Ego, Sweet Dreams, now Video Phone..I think Hello and Scared of lonely are much better :)]

^Sweet Dreams is one of the best songs on a lackluster album
anyways, can´t wait to hear the gaga remix of video phone...

Video Phone is F.I.E.R.C.E !

the worst song on Sasha Fierce is Diva.. Imma Imma a diva.. it gets sooo annoying...

but I'm excited to see the PV :)

YOU DID NOT O_O !
DIVA ONE OF THE WORST SONG !? WTF !? WE DIDNT LISTEN TO THE SAME ALBUM XD !

Why are you talking about Beyonce in Gaga's thread? o_O

Hey this is Gaga's thread, not Beyonce's (even though I love her too ^^)! ///

But a collab between the two of them!? ( :heart ) I'm so excited for this!

It seems Lady Gaga is the most popular non-Asian artist in AHS; we're already heading toward her 3rd thread! Does anyone plan to make it? It'd be nice if someone made a nice informative one with all the latest news, etc.

I'm still waiting for a GaGa/Kumi collab..

Oh yes!
They made a shoot together isn't? Future collab? lol

Coz there's a collab ! You want me to create a Gaga x Beyonce thread ? That would be selfish =)

I just posted it a page back. *sigh* I'll do it again.

http://perezhilton.com/2009-10-16-your-first-look-58

I remember someone already asked to make the next one.

Don't worry about it. I missed your response post to ストロボ・EdGE question about the next thread. :yes

Eh... the more I think about it, the less I can see those two together. Although I'm not opposed to it.

woah Beyonce collab? LOL

Yeah...I can't see that...but at least it'll be good for her career.

^ They seemed pretty chummy at the VMA awards... Not to mention that event they both attended (for charity? can't remember... they got an award of some kind though). I kind of figured they'd collaborate in the future.

^That was the Billboard Awards where she won Best New Artist and Beyonce won Female Artist of the Year. They have appeared to be pretty good friends, beyond the usual "yea she's so nice" stuff.

Anyway, Bad Romance premiers on BBC Radio 1 at 8.35 am UK time or 3.35 am Eastern time, so in about 3 hours.

Final version of Bad Romance available for listening now on Cherrytree Records site! I kinda like the demo more at the moment, this one seems a bit messy.

Listen here: http://www.cherrytreerecords.com/

I like the final version a lot better, it feels more put together, has more depth and more energy.

But - what's up with the chorus "ooohh" part though? It's like they misplaced the first "ooohh".

I want your lovin' and I want your revenge

I love this song <3

My unconditional love for this woman has been solidified...GAGALUPEEEE~

I loved the demo leak of Bad Romance, but the final version is SO much better. I've been dancing to it for 3 hours straight. I'll be listening to it all the way to school tomorrow, while trying to refrain from dancing down the sidewalk..!

the finished version is good, but iunno, i liked some parts about the demo version better ... haha.

i liked the "walk walk fashion..." part better in the demo haha. but whatevers, it's great :D

first pic from Bad Romance PV!
http://i33.tinypic.com/qyskqr.jpg

it looks like Kylie's Can't Get You Out of My Head..

The main version just leaked. D: It has a longer start and the walk walk fashion bit is as long as the demo version now. :D

dont ask me why, it remind me of namie's new look PV where she wears her glittery white dress and walking on the catwalk stuff :rolleyes

Just 30 secs on the cherry tree site but I'm already hooked omg!

I like it. It's much better than the vibe Alejandro was giving me. It can definitely get addicting.

anyone hear the rumored "Monster feat. Britney Spears"?

The final version of Bad Romance is really good and addictive *O*

Just heard Bad Romance...

Gaga, what did you DO? the song was so GOOD, what did you do to it, it like, went insane.

Make us a great first post Koumori ( :yes )!

I really hope that Gaga x Britney rumor is false ( :dead2 )... the scary thing is that it seems likely. /dodges bullets/

Bad Romance is freaking awesome. o-O The shouting at the end is awesomee...

I think.... I'm listening to the full version... cause it sounds different, but I still hear that annoying DJ.... Maybe this isn't the finished song xD;..... I like the song either way. I'm holding out til the release for other songs.


[EDIT]


Okay! Now I'm listening to the finished version lol! The beginning sounds soooooo different! I love how she plays with her voice lol.

I like Alejandro. Bad Romance is also good. Hit material!

*0* I heart Bad Romance
I dunno, I think I like the radio edit more, the rar rar hitting you in the face seemed a little better than having the whoaaaa whoa~ intro a little, but both are good, if I didn't hear the radio edit first, I'd be 100% in love with it too XD

The Cherrytree site version is censored and is a radio edit. XD The album version is a bit longer with the intro heard at the McQueen show. :3

Bad Romance :heart:heart:heart:heart

i've never been a gaga fan.. but omg this song is so epic :thud

I don't hate it, but I don't particularly think it's good either

I can't get into Bad Romance. I hate the feeling when you WANT to like something but you don't!

I wonder how many singles will come out from TFM.

^ I know that feeling too well. Luckily I think Bad Romance is amazing, but I wish I liked more songs off of The Fame. I listen to maybe half of them, mostly the singles.

I really loved the demo ;_;... I found the finished version really kinda bad in comparison

It is bad in comparison :laugh

I mean it's okay and it sounds more "monsterous," but I think the demo version was a lot cleaner.

i actually prefer this version of "Bad Romance" over the demo. it's much more polished and finished, imo. it's much more fun in the car though, lol. i was flipping out when i heard it on the radio.

^are we listening to the same finished Bad Romance? The finished one sounds like she's having a mental break down o_O

I love the radio version. Woman sounds FIERCE, literally!

Can't wait for a clean MP3 version. :yes

Even though it sounds crazy, it makes the song a bit more unique. It's not hard to imagine having a mental break down from a bad romance xD; The way she sings it makes it sound like an addiction. Like she's desperate for the person's attention whether good or bad and I think her vocals reflect that perfectly even though, like you, I prefer the demo version.

She sorta sings it like she sung the emotional parts of Paparazzi at the VMAs.

And, fierce to some --> mental break down to others.

Yay I finally appreciate Bad Romance! The chorus has become really infectious. I can't imagine what the MV will be like...

The only song I've heard from TFM is BR (waiting for the physical release) so I'm wondering if these new songs will be very different from The Fame since when she wrote the music from it she didn't have the fame or recognition she has now/// I hope she doesn't get cocky.

^She said she's moving away from that topic and writing about different things, the reason her songs on "The Fame" were so fame oriented is because "Fame" was the theme of the album :3

^speechless is ballad for her father

Huh? She wasn't famous when she wrote the songs off The Fame. She had said in an interview that it was about not only about literal fame, but also "personal fame", no?

What I meant before was, I wonder if there will be a different Lady Gaga now since she has had so much success. Like, maybe she was more insecure and self conscious before, so maybe all that she has achieved will open up a different side.

^ Speechless is a ballad that we haven't heard yet lol.

Koumori, you should probably go ahead and make the new thread before someone else steals the opportunity ( :yes ).

Like me. JK! Are you going to give it /clever/ title a la Asian Music Chat ( :laugh )?
