I never really looked until now but I just realized how much stuff there is beyond The Fame / The Fame Monster: her Red & Blue EP when she was calling herself Stefani, an entire bootleg of B-Sides and Unreleased songs, etc.

Well, it happened. I unironically like Lady Gaga. I should be feel bad but I feel too happy to be embarassed. I find it really creepy how it incrementally increased without me noticing, and like there was a certain degree of inevitability about it. And, quoting this because it is perfect.

I too have just gone through the stages of Lady GaGa acceptance. I went over the edge when I watched the music videos last night; "Bad Romance" is insanely awesome. Now I just wish she was coming to Portland!

I've been away from the forums for months and am delighted to discover that goonkind is just as susceptible to the awesomeness of la Gagita bonita as I was.

THE BEST is when you catch insufferable music snobs getting all excited cause "Telephone" came on at the club.

I'm just pissed that she isn't playing anywhere near me, but that's OK; there will be other tours. This one's going to stick around for awhile.

Lady GaGa is fantastic, I am glad that goonkind has come to embrace her because I thought for sure this would be one of the last places that would be down with her music!

I really love her new album I play it quite often when in my car; I am sure it looks and sounds pretty weird for a dude to be driving along singing along with Alejandro at the top of my lungs, complete with high pitch voice. I don't care though zero fucks, Lady GaGa rules. :colbert:

I can't take "Alejandro" for some reason. I think because it has a little too many shades of that "Fernando" song by ABBA

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but a report from the wife indicates that Telephone is the next single (They made a big deal on our local radio station about how today was the first time it was played on radio)

They've been playing it in NJ for a few weeks.

I think it might be a regional thing. When I was out in Nevada for a week, I noticed they were playing either different "new" singles from certain artists or hadn't yet gotten new singles that NJ stations had been playing for weeks.

I enjoy it because not only do I find it to be catchy; but it also reminds me a lot of Ace of Base for a reason; who I always enjoyed back when they were still a relevant band.

They moved the venue for Gaga's January 3rd concert in Orlando from the Hard Rock Live to the much larger UCF Arena (since the Hard Rock's stage wasn't big enough for her stage setup), and everyone with existing tickets had to exchange them for new ones. This is good because a lot of people who couldn't get tickets originally will now get to attend.

Best of all (at least for me), my in-laws had bought us stupidly expensive tickets for the Hard Rock Live concert through a ticket broker, after the show originally sold out in minutes. But after the change of venue was announced, they were able to get a full refund and hook us up with even better and MUCH more affordable (face value) seats at the UCF Arena. I feel a lot less guilty about attending now, but it's crazy how excited I am. Driving from Orlando to Atlanta to see Tom Waits by myself a few years back is still my greatest concert experience ever, but I'm expecting some real magic when we go to see Lady Gaga.

Yea I have been to some crazy shows, such as Flaming Lips at Austin City Limits and Crystal Castles at Fun Fun Fun Fest, but I have never seen the caliber of a show such as Lady Gaga before. It's one of those shows where I can understand why people at Michael Jackson shows would be hysterical.....or that's just me

I ordered the vinyl version of The Fame: Monster, and it shipped on Monday. Hopefully its explicit/uncensored, or I will be very sad. :saddowns:

Actually, the sadness will be washed away just because of the fact that it's a picture disc.

Sadly, this is censored. Lady Gaga is still a free bit. :( Oh well, this is insanely sturdy vinyl and the pictures are pretty.

Luckily it's not super hard to play! If you have played piano before you should be able to pick it up fairly easily; I am pretty horrible at the Piano and I was able to (fairly decently) play it.

I also got my mom a copy of Fame Monster for Christmas and she was pretty pumped, I think it's adorable that she loves Lady GaGa so much. :3:

Guy Trebay from the fashion section of the New York Times really seems to have it out for Lady Gaga.

quote:

(Lady Gaga) is a 23-year-old New Yorker of outsized ambition and middling talents, a onetime Catholic school girl with a Duchampian show-business handle, a self-promoter so tireless she made Paris Hilton look like a lay-about; a woman so assured of her superlatively good bad taste that she was in a fetish-wear gown to meet the Queen of England.

That person, of course, is Lady Gaga.

If 2009 produced little in the way of enduring style phenomena, it did give us Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a musician whose hooky dance tunes would barely rate a second playing on karaoke night, yet who made it all but impossible to avert one’s gaze from her ongoing spectacle.

But the voice without the package would equal a novelty act in a Singapore hotel lounge.
