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 :/

"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

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.

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.)

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.
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 March 2010 10:39 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Friday, 12 March 2010 11:10 (fourteen years ago) link
yah alright man no shots fired! fwiw 'paparazzi' does nothing for me either.
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 March 2010 11:53 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― some dude, Friday, 12 March 2010 14:03 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

rtc plz explain your distaste for the great "speechless"!!
― k3vin k., Friday, 12 March 2010 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link
well basically i guess it strikes me as a demonstration of her hokey vegas cabaret side that's needlessly explicit in comparison to how the furious intuitive synthesis of the uptempo europop stuff works (stuff which covers the 'speechless' ground just the same anyway imo). i can see the argument for it working in conceptual concert with the other songs, or even just as a change of pace on the album, but it seems strange if not outright suspect to me why anyone would foreground that track in particular as evidence of something new or worthwhile in gaga's oeuvre.
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 March 2010 16:11 (fourteen years ago) link
also i think it sucks.
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 March 2010 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i'll get with that last thing you said - i do like it as a distilled one-off of her usually more subtle showtunish side. don't think i could deal with an entire album of them but i like it for what it is
lol and this is an xp
― k3vin k., Friday, 12 March 2010 16:15 (fourteen years ago) link
leaving aside 'teeth' maybe do you really find it so great you'd take it over any other of the tracks on the album?

agreed insofar as i find it par for the course, as opposed to great.

― yeahhh (surm), Friday, 12 March 2010 16:22 (fourteen years ago) link
'teeth' in comparison i can leave up to personal preference - just not my style i guess - but again would you hold it up to the other 6 songs that aren't 'speechless'? those two tracks seem to me to be an aside from the tru meat of what makes fame monster awesome.
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 March 2010 16:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Teeth is definitely a stylistic aside, but i find the songwriting and vocal performance in it so genuine as to stand ground beside the other tracks. The retro styling isn't as contrived as it is on Speechless.
