"No one is checking for Gaga": A Throwback

It's July 25, 2008: George W. Bush is president. "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry is the number one song in America. Senators John McCain and Barack Obama are busy with their presidential campaigns. The Summer Olympics in Beijing are just a few weeks away.

And on ATRL.net, a user named NorMal posts a thread called "No one is checking for Lady Gaga".

Lady Gaga's debut album "The Fame" still hasn't been released in the US. Its lead single "Just Dance" is doing well on the Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Club Play charts, but it hasn't even cracked the Billboard Hot 100. It's safe to say that outside of club-goers, pop stans, and radio listeners, no one knows who she is.

"No one is checking for Lady Gaga" laments NorMal. "That's what I've gathered. Why does she have no buzz confused.gif"

sGabe4 chimes in: The market is full right now - maybe that's why she gets ignored..."

"Meh..it's full of carbon copies" NorMal replies. "The unique artists never get any shine..ugh"

madonnafan18: That, and she does Dance-Pop which isn't really US friendly.

ferpunk: ^she can conquer outside US and then US haha. Estelle did that right? First hit UK and Europe and the US.

Jared: Well her album doesn't come out until October in the US...but it comes out in August in Canada. I think she wanted a second single before the album...but that doesnt seem likely. I'm guess major promotion will begin next month.

-Nugen-: lady gaga deserves so much more attention.

El Chiko Kevo: MILEY = CRAPOLA. thats why

Carlos: GaGa > Jorbig Sparks, anyday.

sGabe4: ^for you, but for most people it's the other way around wink.gif

Overcome: LMAO... The very little GaGa fans out there probably like Jordin better. And get it right b!tch, make another fat joke and it's war. That **** is getting old.

Tightrope: Because she didn't work with Lil Wayne who is supposedly the 'it' guy right now. I dunno about Lady GaGa, I have mixed feelings.

Alexz: LMAO Lady Gaga is better than Jordin, Miley, Rihanna, Katy and all the crap you ATRL worship on a daily basis.

Little did they know.

No. I’m pretty sure Gretchen is performing as part of a Clifford the Big Red Dog interpretive dance ensemble.

I’ve heard from twitter insiders that the tonys are already in the mail.

I like this quote. Today if you talk about Gaga's impact, those same people say "what she didn't start dance pop everyone was doing dance edm music you guys are stans"
