Okay, I don't like every song on The Fame, but it has got 14 songs, and a good album doesn't need more than 10 songs anyway. So... it COULD have been better.

01 - Just Dance - cool, modern uptempo track. But the problem is, it clearly shows how she's influences by rock. There's a catchy riff, played by some synth keyboard.

02 - Lovgame - Timbaland style, ordinary and lmost embarassing lyrics.

03 - Paparazzi - Has this been a single yet? Should be, but the chorus reminds me of some Britney song. After all, Lady wrote songs for Britney.

04 - Poker Face - same as 01

05- I Like It Rough - the chorus is pure radio-pop-rock, verses and bridge are quite 80s.

06 - Eh, Eh - Cool song, radio friendly, neat - but nothing more. The song's title is ugly.

07 - Starstruck - another Timbo-like song. But a bit better than 02... if Flo rida wouldn't have been on it.

08 - Beautiful, Dirty, Rich - catchy chorus, well the song is okay, but it's not a song made for songbooks.

09 - The Fame - one of my faves, crazy, cool chorus. Should be a single too!

10 - Money Honey - boring. Everytimne she tries to sound too current, she fails.

11 - Boys Boys Boys - bad

12 - a good album song, I somehow think the melody comes not right through.

13 - Brown Eyes - a good ballad, a bit camp, the Freddie influence def is there

14 - Summerboy - Gwen Stefani anyone? I totally love it, there's a part that reminds me of a famous 80s song... mmmh... that sounds like "I'm getting high, Summer-Summerboy"

Summerboy is a really good one too, and I love Boys Boys Boys! both songs are very 80s

I agree with you two. Those are my personal faves on The Fame. I'm happy to say that a lot of DJs in the clubs here are playing "Boys Boys Boys." It's perfect on a dancefloor.


"HEY THERE PRETTY BABY SAW YOU TWICE @ the pop show. Yew taste juss like glitter mixxed w/Rock'n'roll. I like you a Lot Lot, think you're really hot hot."

Favorite line is: "Baby is a bad boy w/some RETRO SNEAKERS. Let's go see The Killers & make out in the bleachers[!!!]"

I can't wait for June/July to blast Summerboy at the beach.

P.S. "Summerboy" was written by Brian Kierulf, who also penned Britney's "Anticipating" (2001). It has that sunsplashed sound to it, typical of his style of songcrafting.

"Paparazzi" is the next U.S. single. I'm on Space Cowboy's twitter (@spacecowboytrax) and they just finished making it L.A.

Space says the video has "art references, its high fashion, German models."

Saw her performance on Jonathan Ross and was really impressed.

i like the fact she's no conventional beauty. Sure she has great legs (not as great as Madonna's, though) but her face is funny. She's got a funny nose, and the way she lipsticks her lips is funny.
I'm really impressed with her, I hope she'll be around for a long time.

She's written for Britney, the Pussyshaved Dolls and New Kids On The Block... does anyone know which songs?

Watching Poker Face on TV this morning I figured out what I don't like:

These hooks are bland--even Gloria Estefan wouldn't have touched them with a 10 ft pole back in the 80s.

that dance is so dumb as is the stupid covering of her eyes all the time

and why's she trying to sound like Christina Aguilera in the chorus , meh

She basically taken the whole Debbie Harry (blondie) Dale Bozzio (missing persons) Teri Nunn (Berlin) and mixed it with some Madonna and Gwen and you have Lady GaGa, give her credit from copying "interesting" artists.

yeah, I'm sure she sat down and wrote out a plan to mix these personalities together...

lastdecember said:

and what do YOU think is totally original after 55 years of pop culture?

btw, so, which songs did she write for the NKOTB and Shitney?
[Edited 4/22/09 11:25am]

i really liked her when i first saw/heard her but now i am kinda getting sick of constantly seeing or hearing her everywhere

MsMisha319 said:

I've never heard of her either.

uPtoWnNY said:

how dare you!

I have heard a rumour she is actually a transvestite. Her music is very forgettable, shes released 3 singles in NZ, all have been hits, and I can't remember the names of any of them.

ok

Lady Gaga wrote Quicksand for Britney Spears (which I like) and the awful Elevator for the Pussy Shaved Dolls. Big Girl Now for the NKOTB

At least the umbrella is hers.
