Can anybody exlpain how this song managed to get skipped over for The Fame?
A few of you might recognize this track from her short film, The Fame, Part One. Normally I'd say this song would leak any day now, but something tells me Gaga keeps this one locked up in diamond safe overseas. Anyway, while the whole piano shtick is hardly new at this point, she's rarely been this growly or this shouty. Even under the most superficial sugar exteriors, there is a riot grrrl inside us all. Hah, just kidding. Riot grrls would disown the movement if it involved doing half the things she did on stage. And this is after she gave up using hair spray and lighters to set leopard-print G-strings on fire.
(Have to say though, her new hair is looking a little Gwen circa December 2006.)
Oh, and did you hear? She's going on tour! Sorry to break hearts out there, but I've found out the hard way that a lot of these shows are 21+. Fooled me again!

Personally, I can't wait until she has enough money to afford an arena tour like this (that would give Madonna a run for her money, although nothing can top this):

i actually really like the first video. she has talent. sometimes you can't tell when it's all covered up with techno beats.
ReplyDeletei take issue with her hair. why?? she's looks like a tacky halloween costume of gwen from the sweet escape days. mary and i were discussing this and we decided that her voice really doesn't match her body.
she has a good voice, but her appearance is too stereotypical pop star. the shock value of little leotards, sparkly things, and big sunglasses is not there if they all do it.
I don't think everybody else is doing it. I mean, yeah sunglasses, that's not really reinventing the wheel. And her hair does look like a fake version of Gwen.
ReplyDeletebut NOBODY in pop music wears anything like this:

unless you wanted to count Bjork as a pop star. I think she can go either way.
I LOVE THE FIRST SOOONNGGG. Perezhilton anyone?
