Lady Gaga needs her own thread

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.

Ozzy Osbourne likes her

From some of the stage clothes that he used to wear, I can understand why.

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?

swagger jacker. sounds like Glass Candy.

it's old, like 2007-2008

It is? Somehow that makes me like it even more.

"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 :/

the video within, not the link. gabe's great obv

omg the little "god hates you" poorly done background voice in the first verse cracked my shit up

"Speechless" is in my head to stay, but before I know it I'm singing Westlife's "Swear it again". Surely I can't be the only one??

can't believe how good "Telephone" is. The Fame Monster at large is pretty amazing, it almost makes me want to forgive the likes of LoveGame and theBeautiful Dirty Rich for their indiscretions

B-b-but "Love Game" is fantastic!

n-n-no

'telephone' video!

coulda been better , eh?

wasn't as good as Paparazzi or Bad Romance. Camp can't just be camp, it has to be done exceedingly well and this came off as a bit film student project.

yeah, like they lost direction about 1/3 of the way thru

i feel like Videophone was a lot better than this

absurd amounts of product placement in this (including lol polaroid)

definitely came dangerously close to being a Virgin commercial.

started to press play until i saw 9:32 on the time display, fuck outta here gaga

why does caring about making good videos always inevitably translate to making tediously long videos where half of it doesn't even have any music

she looks disarmingly winehouse-ish in parts

that was a bit of a mess. chopping up the song so much is annoying, the dialogue is heavy-handed and unfunny camp, the thelma & louise stuff a massive cliché and the whole sexy-lesbian-prisoner aesthetic makes me cringe a bit. shoulda been so much better!

(really like the song though.)

Version of this from the J Ross show last week was pretty stomping

always with weirdly awkward dialogue

this would be awesome if you cut out all the non singing bits

should really be disgusted by this turn of events cf minaj thread but somehow with beyonce i have to kind of relish the immediate & brutal signature chokehold on any new bitch in the game. this is a stick-up, stick-up, i need them bags or that moneyyyy~~~~

dialogue is delib stilted in this vid tho surely plax..? unless you were talking about ships n sarge, in which case i have no explanation.

been listening to fame monster a lot lately and have concluded that 1/ there is no validity in any hipster free pass that remarks favourably on the dire and unnecessary 'speechless', and 2/ based on his work here redone stands up to any pantheon of producer/muse conceptual synergy ever, he's fantastic.

well like i said i haven't even watched the thing yet, just the length discouraged me from getting excited about the YOUTUBE WORLD PREMIERE and i'll just watch it when it's on MTV Hits instead. but "Paparazzi" is one of my least favorite videos by her so my hopes weren't really high anyway.

yah alright man no shots fired! fwiw 'paparazzi' does nothing for me either.

ok lmao @ all of this, especially the point where the song finally starts, all the dialogue in the car, and Black Ty getting third billing for coughing for 30 seconds and then dying

I dug this. I don't really watch music videos, though, so it was more like, hey cool, 10-minute movie with Gaga and Beyonce that features their song. The gleeful borrowing of B-movie tropes felt very Tarantino to me -- and this was before the Pussy Wagon even showed up.
