ChrissyBot 2,252 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 So this just randomly came to mind I was just going through my Gaga collection and I was looking at the earliest versions of The Fame. And I forgot that they only had 12 songs. The Canadian version where the songs mentioned in the title are not there. These songs weren’t put on The Fame until the US version of the album came out Were Starstruck, Paper Gangsta, I Like It Rough, and Disco Heaven meant to stay unreleased at one point?

Railing 2,134 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The original tracklist and artwork, used for advance copies and registered for ISRC, went as follows: 1. Just Dance 2. LoveGame 3. Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) 4. Money Honey 5. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich 6. Poker Face 7. The Fame 8. Paparazzi 9. Boys Boys Boys 10. Brown Eyes 11. Vanity 12. Summerboy Starstruck was not finished until September 2008, after the album's initial release. Not sure about the others, besides Disco Heaven which I guess would've been scrapped. Vanity was later axed for its "jazzy sound", then replaced with Again Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that album cover is as iconic as the one we all know. i wonder how different her career would’ve been if she went this route with the album and kept it as it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcoswing 1,123 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I don't think they were meant to stay unreleased, rather they were pushed aside and given a bonus track treatment in some regions. Back in those days it was common to include different bonus tracks in different regions for whatever reasons, and I'd assume it was a marketing trick to keep the album selling by reissuing it multiple times with revised tracklists.

Correction, those songs (besides HML) were included but whoever compiled the list I was referencing missed a page that contained them This was from the document leaks c.2020, along with the ARTPOP tracklist that included Temple, Nothin' On and Brooklyn Nights in between MJH and Dope. 1. Born This Way 2. Judas 3. Hair 4. Scheiße 5. The Edge of Glory 6. Americano 7. Bloody Mary 8. Bad Kids 9. Government Hooker 10. Electric Chapel 11. Marry the Night 12.

Fresco 1,688 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I feel like I've just heard vanity for the 1st time. It's kinda perfect for the fame/fame monster era. you get a song, you get a song, but none of you get all the songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 31,137 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The first release of The Fame (August 2008 with Again Again) is already a great album but I think right after it was released, she or they (her team) started working on the unfinished stuff they had. So Starstruck with Flo Rida trying to get a hit, maybe Paper Gangsta suddenly fit the theme, etc. I was a massive Again Again fan so the re-release with that song as bonus track felt like a slap in the face. They also reworked Lovegame and Money Honey. At the end of Lovegame she says again "Lets have some fun.. etc." and Money Honey starts with "That's M-O-N-E-Y so sexy". The Canadian/Mexican version with the light blue letters didn't have that first, it was a extended instrumental intro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a note at the bottom of that document saying something like “the order of the tracklist is not decided” and then “move Applause to the last song” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that the og ARTPOP cover idea was leaked (as a drawing), there was Gaga eating pop corns with an american flag outfit and sitting on a hot dog 💀 I think?
