Spoiler

 

Wikipedia about Just Dance: Just Dance is an uptempo synth-pop and dance-pop song. The song combines synths of clipped marching beats, soaring electronics and contains mild R&B-infused beats.

The Guardian: That success seems to have led Lady GaGa to come to some pretty bullish conclusions about her own originality: "I'm defying all the preconceptions we have of pop artists," she recently told one journalist, seemingly confident of a place in the history books as the world's first pretty female singer performing synthesiser-heavy R&B-influenced pop. "I'm very into fashion," she clarified, all previous pretty female singers having apparently performed their synthesiser-heavy R&B-influenced pop clad in stuff they grabbed at random from the George at Asda half-price sale.

Digitalspy: All booming R&B beats, surging synths and Christina Aguilera-esque vocals

Wikipedia about LoveGame: Musically, "LoveGame" is an uptempo synth-pop and electro-R&B song.

Digitalspy: Then again, when she gets the songs right, it hardly seems to matter that what she's singing about - fame, flings, being "beautiful dirty rich" - is shallow. 'Love Game', 'Paparazzi', 'I Like It Rough' and future single 'Poker Face' are every bit as effective as 'Just Dance': bombastic electro-R&B monsters that are almost impossible not to dance to. 

Lady Gaga Superstar about The Fame tracks: while The Fame (2008) ... naughties pop glazed with Auto-Tune and undergirded with R&B-ish beats.

Latimesblogs about Teeth: ..., the EP's closer, is a sassed-out R&B jam produced by new jack swing pioneer Teddy Riley.

Paul Lester from BBC felt that the song was "generic machine RnB" (about Dance In The Dark).

Wikipedia about Do What U Want: It is a synthpop and R&B song featuring 1980s-style synthesizers and an electronic instrumental track.

Wikipedia about G.U.Y.: It is an EDM track containing elements of industrial, contemporary R&B, and house music .

Rolling Stone: For better and for worse, ARTPOP meets the mandate. It's a bizarre album of squelchy disco (plus a handful of forays into R&B) that aspires to link gallery culture and radio heaven. ... But just as ARTPOP gets into a groove of high-tech Pop&B, her creative impulses splinter. She plays hook girl for Too $hort, Twista and T.I.'s thugged-up, self-parodic "Jewels N' Drugs"

Latimes about ARTPOP tracks: But Lady Gaga approaches other fresh modes with more spirit, particularly in a handful of songs that pull deeply from R&B: the throbbing “G.U.Y.” (short for “girl under you”); “Do What U Want,” a sleek duet with R. Kelly; and “Sexxx Dreams,” which proposes a tryst with a lover whose boyfriend is away for the weekend.

The Guardian about Sexxx Dream: Futuristic, electro-tooled R&B slow jams with delicious choruses (dubbed with Do What U Want).

Muuse: All sorts of throwback '80's-R&B ferociousness, blending dirty-minded temptation with a seriously fierce strut a la Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul.

Billboard about ARTPOP tracks: Coherently channeling R&B, techno, disco and rock music as a pop artist.

Scotsman: A-YO is a catchy hybrid of country pop with R&B attitude and hip-hop rhythms.
 

Wikipedia about Sinner's Prayer: ... consists of instrumentation from bells and whistles, and is a simulacrum of country music, along with R&B and pop.

I-d: A song perfect for the Coyote Ugly soundtrack, Sinner's Prayer is more like a simulacrum of country music, rather than country itself. It's a lead-ish track from the record, and it encapsulates Joanne's intentions more conspicuously than any of the other songs on the album. To its credit, the popularisation of country-r'n'b-pop is something which is seldom attempted, and seldom successful. But Gaga—in collaboration with Fleet Foxes drummer-gone-solo Father John Misty—manages to keep it just cool enough.

Latimes: There’s “Hey Girl,” a duet with Florence Welch that imagines “Bennie and the Jets” as an ’80s R&B jam.

Idolator: “Hey Girl” is full-on ’70s schmaltz and 80’s cheese-R&B, slinking around with pastel synths and a funky chord progression.

Clashmusic: Welch does her best to energise the otherwise languid, repetitive and similarly schmaltzy ‘90s R&B throwback ‘Hey Girl’.

Wikipedia about The Cure: Consisting of finger snap and an electronic dance beat, "The Cure" is composed around an R&B sound. 

 The Guardian: ... is built off an unadorned R&B rhythm before rising into a pop chorus.

Latimesblogs about Bad Romance: turbocharged Euro-soul of lead single.

Where is Paper Gangsta? :crossed: 

The Fame has R&B beats all over the tracks and I didn't found a direct source to link this with this songs specifically so I avoided to choose based on my opinion/ hearing because of how the last pool ended. :selena:

You can vote the II or III option if you like The Fame. :selena:

Sinners Prayer? :derpga:

This time I put all of the sources I was able to find in the spoiler and I underlined things. 

You can disagree if you want, but people heard this so they have to be into something.

Uhm, maybe because reviewers said that about Sinner's Prayer and not Hey Girl? Hey Girl is funk.

what is paparazzi doing here

i hate when critics are deaf

 

They said even Dance In The Dark is R&B. :selena:

But electro-R&B sounds right for Paparazzi because that song have pretty lush vocals over a techno beat.
