I recently had Lady Gaga songs introduced to me and I think they're pretty catchy.

Does this make me gay?

Yes, you should prepare to deal with the constant urge to bone every man rear end you see.

Hmm, finally made it through the thread, and I have to say I went through all those steps. I'm not sure how ironically I like Lady Gaga. Maybe I actually like her now?

My one beef with Bad Romance is that is sounds like it drags.

My one beef with bad romance is that I grew up on 80s pop due to having parents with limited musical taste. So while I enjoy most of the catchy aspects of the song, I feel like I've heard all of them before, some so vividly that I could probably figure out what songs it sounds like she's ripping off. The thing is, a lot of things about LG impress me but I see a lot more potential in her songwriting than what she has currently chosen to display. I mean she's even flat out mentioned that some of her biggest hits were written in 10 minutes. It's like the music is nothing but a vehicle to win fans so she can justify her stage show to whoever is banking her.

I've probably thought about this too much.

Why does she look completely different every time there's a decent look at her face

Probably because her livelihood is being a media whore so when she experiences a moment of genuine stimulation the contrast is evident.

Ahhhhh why is born this way still 3-6 months away? :(

Marketing. She has 4+ singles on the radio and they need to space poo poo out for people to not get over exposed to her.

Judas is Lady GaGa's Cyndi Lauper plateau; she will be riding for a while till the next iteration.

I don't know why everyone gets up in arms about her songwriting, the point is to sell albums and concert tickets and merch to gay men and teenage girls, not create modern high art. Don't criticize it for not being something it isn't intended to be.

She just seems really exhausted in this video. Her strategy has always been to appear at as many award shows and such as possible so tons of people see her, but what's the point of being seen if she's going to be tired once she gets there or start saying offensive things to reporters? I honestly feel dizzy when I think about her schedule and I can't believe she's lasted this long in the first place.

She probably has lupus and her schedule allows her to have as much of a career as possible before her illness rids her ability to perform. But who knows

Lady Gaga's new album has been out for like two weeks and this thread is dead :( Come on, guys! Any songs grow on you? Hair is growing on me. I still think Born this Way is the WORST song on the album and honestly, I think it's her worst song at this point.

The first two singles certainly seem to be written to be singles.
