That Oprah performance where she's hitting the car windshield w/ a mace and trying so desperately to make it dramatic confirms that she's still biting off more than she can chew with the crazy setpieces (see also: awkwardly sitting at the piano in crazy outfit on SNL, looking down to make sure her fake blood was running on the VMAs). So much of what she does could be awesome if it came off effortless and not so amateurish.

I'm big on "speechless", which is sort of a weird billy joel/queen ballad, and "alejandro" is nice too

i find "speechless" genuinely moving and "telephone" is such a banger. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I LIVE IN GRAND CENTRAL STATION! the crookers remix is great too

I like "So Happy I Could Die" - very nice, striking chord change at the end of the chorus. "Alejandro" is AWFUL though.
― Freedom, Thursday, 28 January 2010 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I was also really annoyed by this live performance of "Speechless", where at one point she paused and adopted an anguished facial expression, presumably as a heavy-handed means of achieving pathos.

brainflash/fart: LG should cover the title track from Bowie's "Diamond Dogs". I mean, the lyrics are perfect for her.

So what's this "Retro Physical" song that just leaked out? It's good, but I need to put in context with something. I mean, songs like these don't just get thrown away and unused, do they?

"Speechless" is the weirdest hybrid of Neko Case and Oasis. It's actually not bad, which is even weirder.

Lady Gaga article in the WSJ, pretty interesting analysis if nothing spectacularly novel:

xp yea but there's also something strongly burlesque to it, in the style of a western -- something you would expect to hear in a saloon scene in a movie by quentin tarantino.
Bad Romance and Dance in the Dark just made sense for me this morning. buggin. Dance in the Dark is wonderfully subtle and epic at the same time. and Bad Romance actually made me cry :/
