One of her best albums.

Eh Eh, Money Honey and Starstruck are absolutely great and all clearly closer to her best songs than her worst.

We should celebrate its release on October 28, not on August 19. :grr:

The era had her best vocals, as well as many of her best looks AND best performances.

90% of the interviews were absolute disasters. She was so bad…

Brown Eyes is a great song but I’ll never understand why she chose it over Let Love Down or even Wonderful.

Eh Eh and Money Honey are squarely middle of the road, Starstruck bottom tier.

Also in no world were her vocals, looks, or performances her best. TFM, BTW, and MAYHEM all clear in that regard.

A lot of the interviews during TF era are also iconic, what are you on about? Lmao. The “I’m just a rockstar” moment, her cheeky/ironic candor, the interview with the blue jumpsuit and the lighting bolt where she talks about the origin of the concept of TF…all excellent. IMO, ARTPOP has some of her worst interviews.

But have to give you props: you do consistently deliver unpopular opinions :vegas:

Well that’s your opinion, not mine.

I’d take TF looks/vocals/performances everyday over most of her eras

and yes she did have a couple great interviews, and they’re the 10% I mentioned lol

Yes, that is my opinion, that’s why I said it :vegas:

Ngl basically every era since TF clears the performances/looks/vocals from that era for me. Don’t miss her playing the pop star princess one bit, tbh. Cute for a taste, but not for a swallow and imo, just a means to the end of delivering better work down the road.

I think most of the interviews from that era were great and fun, but 🤷

This would’ve been a fun track with a few tweaks:

 

Random but If anyone has ever wondered how smart the trading/leaking community is, we should watch out for what leaks we get near new projects. Because they leaked this in full as a hint at what GoE would sound like when that one snippet from GoE leaked too. 
 

This being a demo for the Pussycat Dolls too, alongside a lot of The Fame sessions in general. Hope one day we get all these remastered online.

Starstruck is her worst song ever

Definitely not her worst but not her best. I get down to it but see it as a collab/early song of hers and not necessarily what she is capable of (as we see now in her career)

My unpopular/maybe popular opinion:

Colby's verse on Just Dance ruins the momentum of the song. Even today I had the song come on in the shower when I had a playlist going and it immediately threw off the groove

The album aged well and I love to revisit it

but it end ends with Paper Gangsta, the whole bottom list is a skip

Eh Eh is a beautiful cute song

The Fame demo >>>>>> album version

Money Honey is that bitch

The album is more mature than both ARTPOP and Chriminica

She changed pop music with this album but yet the fanbase loves to discredit it, which is absurd and a proof that her fans still didn't understand who tf is Lady Gaga.

4) Someone might get their panties in a bunch, but... she does NOT actually say “f*ck her face” at any point in the Poker Face recording. That rumor began floating around early on & she leaned into it, claiming it was the “real” lyric to begin with in order to drum up more attention & controversy around the song. 

she does say that, listen to the stems :Cautious:

I always sing p-p-poker face p-p-p-f*ck my face daddy do what u want with my culo :Cautious:

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

The synth in JD is one of the best synths of all time and Gaga may never top it.

It’s very non coherent sonically

an album that didn’t decide if it’s dance pop or retro-y bubblegum/disco/glam rock pop so it’s left sounding like something in-between

Oriane

One of her worst albums. It's a debut album by a rising popstar who doesn't have much creative freedom yet and it shows. All the singles at the beginning of the album. Forced collabs with rappers. Her voice isn't shining like it should (she spoke about how they would cut the vibrato). The album tracks that were written for the album are very mid, and adding a bunch of unrelated songs that she made before working on the album is random and doesn't fit.

Poker Face is overrated.

Beautiful dirty rich is one of the best songs on the album.

Starstruck is one of the worst songs she ever made. I think it's the only song from her I can't listen to, I'm already bored after one minute. Her other bad songs I can at least listen to until the end to have a laugh.

Can probably go the rest of my life without listening to a single song off it tbh.

I don't know if this could be considered unpopular but I find myself enjoying it much more at my 27 yo than what I did when it came out

Disco Heaven and I Like It Rough are career highlights and I'll forever be pissed we don't get live performances

Ironically enough, and even though it's an over the top record, it feels authentic to what Gaga is as an artist, unlike other projects she released

Will never happen but I'd love if she re-released it with her mature vocals :enigma:

Also, let me add something:

I have the feeling Paper Gangsta and Freakshow were fighting for a spot on the album. And they should’ve kept both cause they’re stellar.
