Gaga isn't a thorn in my side as much as Justin Beiber & The Twilight series ( X4000).

Gaga is mildly talented, and at least has the Lady-Balls to wear a dress made out of Lunch meats in public...and make it work...

Here are a few acoustics I like...

PokerFace:

Bad Romance: (only part of it, cant find the full version anymore)

There are other songs on YouTube but all vary in sound and video quality.

Until you hear her play the acoustic version of Bad Romance or Pokerface you'll know what I mean. I wish she would explore that side of her more. I probably would like her more if she was like that all the time.

Is that stuff available on CD somewhere or did you Youtube'd it?

No, its all YouTube stuff from her live performances. I don't think she has officially released any acoustic stuff which is stupid cuz her acoustic stuff is WAY better. Just YouTube "Lady Gaga Acoustic" and all this stuff will pop up.

Thanks!

Youtube it is.

What the hell? Why did I only just notice this thread?

Needless to say, I am an absolutely avid Lady Gaga fanatic. I love her music, her personality, I love the controversy, her messages, her attitude and the amazing costumes and performances.

I'm sorry, but the fact is there is not a single song on the radio and very few in history that can compete with some of her best songs. They are original and they are always unique and they are always awesome and she may be a total attention whore, but she's the most amazing attention whore the world has ever known and I love her for it.

I really like her but no... That's too much hyperbole this early in the morning.

Opinions are exactly that, though; opinions.

While I agree her songs are good, they're no Ode to Joy IMO.

I don't care for her music or her at all. I was watching a couple of her videos and I really don't get it. Is she being ironic? Is she being serious? Is she just trying to get you to talk? Eventually people will stop talking and she'll be yesterday's news.

I agree in a way. She is definitely Original in this day and age but is surely not the first to do what she's doing except for maybe her wardrobe choices. She does have musical talent and is multi-talented which does count for something in this of era music we are in but its way too early to refer to her in a "legendary"-like status.

Thats what I mean. Her acoustic side is so much more interesting to me than the Pop/Club side. But thats business shes in though. She has to garb and attract the masses so she does every crazy thing she can think of which gets a little over the top.
I think her Piano skills should be all she needs.

Some of her songs get stuck in my head, so I have to at least give her credit for being catchy.

She was fine as Stefani Germanotta (she actually had talent back then), but now she's just another celebrity freak who needs to be in the spotlight. Her music (I'm being generous with this term) is utterly craptacular; almost as bad as her fashion sense. Rather than leaving me unimpressed, she has left me completely disgusted. Her abuse of autotune along with her lack of instrumental just bothers me. She is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the music industry today. Oh, and her use of the phrase "Gaga" in her songs just shows how conceited she really is.

I agree. I like some of her songs like "Telephone ft. Beyonce" and "Just Dance ft. Akon." However, certain songs by Gaga can be really annoying. I get irritated when I hear "Bad Romance" lol. It's just a bunch of nonsense words repeated over and over. Haha and I don't like her newest one, "Judas" for the same reason. This is my opinion anyway. Hmm...what does everyone here think?

New album released, time for a bump?

I find it to be far weaker than the previous two. "Born This Way" aside, none of the other songs have the same intensity as her hit songs or even some of the interesting B-side style songs like "Teeth".

I haven't heard the new album, but I've heard Born This Way and Judas. Neither one really impressed me. Sounded an awful lot like Madonna, and nowhere near as good.

As for GaGa herself? When she's not performing, when she's not trying to be in the spotlight, I've heard she's nothing but incredibly kind.

She was on Ellen a few weeks back and couldn't have been sweeter or more humble. Stunned me.

As a person? I think she's probably pretty awesome. As a performer? Not my cup of tea.

Well, I bought it and initially was underwhelmed. I liked 'Judas'a lot, but couldn't get through the 'disconess' of it. But I'm a patient guy when I want to be. A few days onward, it's slowly growing on me.
I'm somewhat bummed that stuff like 'teeth' isn't around. And I miss the piano.

I quite liked "The edge of glory". But as others have said, this whole album doesn't seem as catchy or memorable as the last one.

I woke up with "Speechless" in my head this morning dammit. And now I can't get rid of it!

I saw her the other night on David Letterman. She was actually there for a turn in the interview chair and not just to sing. Honestly, first time I've seen her sit still and just have a conversation, even as sideways as a Letterman interview can go.

I must say I was not impressed with her personality. She didn't come off as eccentric to me but aloof and boring. She should stick to just singing. Let her PR people speak for her.
