Lady GaGa

Got this for my daughter, and her friend. It was the best price, and she loves this cd.

Great CD, a few songs better than others, but can't complain about any of them. Love it!

I can't stop listening to this CD. This is an upbeat 'just for fun' CD by a very talented new artist. Just Dance is making the airwaves, however, every song on this CD is good from Summerboy to Poker Face to Paparazzi. She's writing for others, currently touring with (and MUCH better than) the Pussycat Dolls. I can't wait for her BIG break so we get to hear more music from this new star. She WILL make it.

I really like the song "Just Dance", but I think I was expecting too much from this CD. I was a little disappointed in a couple songs because its a bit over the top and stupid, for example "Paparazzi". I think this CD is more for the club, but I was hoping for a more unique sound. I occasionally listen to it, but I am not crazy about it.

Lady Gaga crept up on the modern music scene much like a stealthy predator, sure of its prey's inability to sense or to predict it. She let herself be seen a few times as an unassuming and docile beast, something to be comfortable around. She even let herself be heard, her calls and cries as far from threatening as possible.
But that was before she pounced.

"Just Dance" isn't groundbreaking. It is a carefree dive into the pop-dance pool, a watering hole that Rihanna, Chris Brown, and the Pussycat Dolls frequent often. Lady Gaga took a sip, and found she enjoyed the refreshing taste. It wasn't much, but it was enough. She found a territory she could call her own, a place to dominate.

The Fame, Stefani Germanotta's debut album as her hyper-reality persona, Lady Gaga, had been advertised through banners and magazines for months before its October '08 release. Advertisements that didn't feature a solid release date, instead acting as true hype generators. Personally, being an avid fan of "Dance," these banners only fueled my desire to get my hands on Gaga's album.

"Just Dance" opens the album like a valkyrie leading the charge (man, what's with me and metaphors?) riding triumphant ahead of her army. If you don't know this song, use your browser. I won't waste time explaining what it sounds like. Follow-up club stomper "LoveGame" continues the seige war tactics, assaulting us with clever lyrics like, "Let's have some fun/This beat is sick/I wanna take a ride on your disco stick." Interestingly enough, her live performance involves a disco stick. It's her long-handled microphone. Dave Aude mixed "LoveGame" into a musical frenzy, providing Lady Gaga with a proper club song after the lackluster mixes of "Just Dance." Dave Aude also took a stab at Gaga's third single "Poker Face" which is actually an interesting combination of the synths from "Just Dance" and the more dance-oriented beat of "LoveGame," giving us a nice dancefloor-friendly version of the track. "Poker Face" is a fantastic offering from Gaga, more lyrically sound than either "Dance" or "LoveGame," with a very catchy chorus. "Poker Face" was preceded as a single by "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich," a jam track where the message is pretty much contained within the title, but it is still 3 minutes of fun.

My favorite tracks on the album are "Paparazzi," "Paper Gangsta," and "Brown Eyes." I'd like to take a moment to talk about "Paparazzi," though, and how its message is muddled and confuses me. The dictionary (www.dictionary.com) defines paparazzi as a freelance photographer, esp. one who takes candid pictures of celebrities for publication. Now focus on the lyrics to Gaga's "Paparazzi"; "I'm your biggest fan/I'll follow you until you love me/Papa-paparazzi/There's no other superstar/You know that I'll be your/Papa-paparazzi." The verses do talk some about pictures and whatnot, but this chorus sounds like a stalker case to me! Regardless of what was written, this song is amazing.

"Paper Gangsta," after reading about Gaga's label history, seems aimed at the man who signed her to her first label and then ignored her for three months. "Don't want no paper gangsta/Won't sign away my life to/Someone who's got the flavor/But don't got no follow-through/Don't want no paper gangsta/Won't sign no monkey papers/Don't do no funny business/Not interested in fakers" is the amazing chorus sung vulnerably overtop a fantastic beat and a piano ditty. Really a very telling song and I'm very happy she made it.

My last favorite takes the cake though, Lady Gaga's tour de force as no other song on her album sounds like it (and considering the success of her upbeat and stylistically shallow radio singles, I doubt any song on further albums will either). "Brown Eyes" starts off with a slow beat which is soon accompanied by a pensive piano and then Gaga's voice, lonely and pensive, countered by a single electric guitar strum, similar to the Across the Universe film rendition of the Beatles' "Oh! Darling." She laments the end of a relationship, singing that her song basically boils down to how she lost her guy and his brown eyes. Very heartfelt and full of longing, the song is the clear winner of the album for me because it not only showcases versatility, but also an acceptance of musical styles that aren't so prevalent in the public eye these days.

Summary
The whole album really is top notch production and performances. Those I've mentioned, while very good to my ears, may not be the best to you. Don't wait on this one though, she's going places!

I love Lady GAGA, Just Dance is a must on my morning "Waker Upper" in my ipotty.
From what I've heard, she's also a good performer, hope I can watch her live soon.

SORRRRRRY...
we have all heard pop and electric pop before, she is not the first and won't be the last, I have heard this sound before and it does not stand out from anything else i have heard in the clubbbbbs or club radio music.

Please seen and heard it before, looks and sounds to familiar to all other artists...

If you want something generic than this is for you. generic music, lyrics. i mean come on. please. just dance. really. grow up.

This is an excellent song for any situation when youre so overwhelmed with work/school, whatever, and all you can do is chug along and "dance." Seemingly simple club-banger with a whole deeper meaning.

Pure ART. Lady Gaga is the creative production of 22 yrs of living---and it shows. One of the first pop artists in a long time to BLEED and FEEL art, putting her whole soul into MUSIC. Everything about the haus of gaga is amazing--the cinematic music videos, the slightly androgynous dancers who are awkwardly beautiful like lady gaga herself. the high fashion that Lady Gaga lives and breathes; a whole new culture has come to life. innovation unseen, sounds never heard before.....lady gaga is here to stay.

this came unexpectedly early, in awsome condition. The price was great and my hubby and I were very please with the service.

Got this for my daughter, and her friend. It was the best price, and she loves this cd.
