Guest Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think Poker Face is one of the only songs from The Fame that you can revisit and it it doesn't sound dated. I don't think Bad Romance sounds dated, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMiddleGround 3,187 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Poker Face - There are no other songs like that anywhere - with the exeption of Bad Romance/Judas. It is timeless, but less than Bad Romance if that makes sense. Bad Romance - Set the bar the moment the demo leaked. When the official version got released, everybody instantly fell for it not just because its a big song - its also out of this world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shade intended, but I have a slight problem with that statement in that imo 9 times out of 10 when people describe something as dated it is intended as a criticism. However, you clearly don't intend it as a criticism and I agree with your assessment in the spirit in which you mean it, i.e. Poker Face sounds dated, Bad Romance doesn't. For myself, dated or not isn't a question that would ever enter my head. I can't get beyond good or bad, and these two songs are good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder what people really mean by it and if (most likely) people have different opinions on what dated means to them 😅 To me it means to sound like a product of it’s time. It would sound weird coming out in modern times. It would be like releasing a fully blown 2013-styled edm track in 2021. It might be a good song, but it would sound weird and out of place amongst the modern crop of music. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

When it comes to songs that are from the past, I don’t view the term dated to be a criticism. To me, that styled criticism would be to say a song aged poorly, and I don’t believe that either song has aged poorly. When a new song comes out and gets deemed dated, that I accept as criticism. Idk if this makes much sense, but I guess it’s more of a personal note for myself. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

Hebi 13,928 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Bad Romance specially when she performs it like let it go... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven 5,849 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Poker Face still sounds better than most of the songs from that period of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald 13,840 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yes although I still love them, especially Poker Face. Gaga is in dire need of new pop hits, in my opinion. I still hear Applause more often than Rain On Me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayden 144 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think "Just Dance" sounds more dated than the two songs combined. Poker Face still holds up pretty well, and Bad Romance is timeless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 No, but they sound “of their time”. They’re still getting hundreds of millions of streams so they’re fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 58,663 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 You'd be surprised by the amount of people who have newfound respect for Poker Face in 2021. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
