Lady GaGa 'Poker Face'
The Fame
Interscope
Winter 2008



This is the second single to be taken from 'The Fame' somewhat unsurprisingly. Smexiness. Video should premiere sometime soon apparently...

Poker Face Audio



Loffly. Given the fact 'Just Dance' is being released here in January, I'd expect this to be a single in March or April or summit (if we get that far =\) She's playing the OMO club night at the Astoria in London on the 13th. Do I dare brave it?

Posted by: Tyler 6th September 2008, 07:06 AM

AMAZING CHOICE. This song is amazing.

Posted by: Dan. 6th September 2008, 08:01 AM

Beautiful, Dirty Rich is the next single? It has a video and everything. There's promos everywhere.

Posted by: Trashlexis 6th September 2008, 09:32 AM

Fantastic choice, but JANUARY for Just Dance? OMG

Posted by: Jonny 6th September 2008, 10:14 AM

It's quite easily the worst song on the album. It's been said before but it is pretty much 'Just Dance' but with different lyrics and worse.

Posted by: Conor 6th September 2008, 11:04 AM

Bad choice for 2nd single.
BDR is a MUCH better choice, i do like Pokerface but it needs to be released as 3rd or 4th single not in the winter time.

Posted by: Jark 6th September 2008, 11:14 AM

Just to clear up, the US are getting Beautiful Dirty Rich.

Canada and other selected countries, presumably most of Europe including the UK, are getting this.

Personally despite this being my favourite on the album, I'd go with Boys Boys Boys for second because this is just TOO similar to Just Dance to follow it up straight away...

Posted by: Mikal™ 6th September 2008, 12:11 PM

LOVE this... SMASH I hope

Posted by: gooddelta 6th September 2008, 12:17 PM

ridiculous choice...it's the same song again with different lyrics...what a lazy follow up

this happened a lot in the 1990's, Eiffel 65 and ATB spring to mind who released practically identical follow up's to their debut's

and the Max Martin production team of the late 90's were responsible for a LOT of soundalike singles in the 1997-2000 era...a lot of Britney, Backstreet Boys, Robyn and 'N Sync songs from that era sounded practically the same musically

Posted by: Trashlexis 6th September 2008, 12:50 PM

Indeed Boys Boys Boys or Beautiful Dirty Rich would be ideal follow-ups, with Pokerface third or fourth single preferably. Then again, if Cascada can get away with it...

Posted by: Jark 6th September 2008, 01:13 PM

They can't these days.

Posted by: Jack 6th September 2008, 01:22 PM

Oh dear, we get ''Just Dance'' in JANUARY?!? The same happened with JoJo's ''Too Little Too Late'' too though.

I personally think ''Poker Face'' is a great choice, it should quite easily be a hit I think.

Posted by: Medicated Soap 6th September 2008, 05:27 PM

Except Eiffel 65 are talentless. Lady Gaga is absolutely fabulous. Great choice, imo.

Posted by: gooddelta 6th September 2008, 05:54 PM

a copycat follow up is never a great choice for any singer...artists should show their diversity by showing off tracks that sound different to each other

Posted by: Silver Rocket 6th September 2008, 06:15 PM

I do agree that releasing 'Just Dance's sister song as the second single is a tad dodgy. However it's the one everyone seems to rave about the most so shouldn't be a huge deal.

Fantastic song!

Posted by: Jake 6th September 2008, 07:49 PM

I'd hardly say it's an identical copy. Different structure, emotion, tone, feel etc.

The Canadian lot didn't seem to notice either. 'Poker Face' went top 20 on their iTunes chart when the album was released...

Posted by: Jark 6th September 2008, 10:04 PM

Oh come on, the instrumental is very similar...the verses share the exact same melody! It's an almost blatant steal, although it technically isn't because a producer can't steal from themselves. Still, it's uninspired as a second single choice...

Posted by: On Your Shore 7th September 2008, 12:12 AM

Excellent and very smart choice.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 18th October 2008, 01:42 PM

I'm seriously in love with this right now. I think I may even like it more than 'Just Dance'.

Posted by: ♫ Boyan ♫ 18th October 2008, 01:47 PM

any info on a music video for this ?

Posted by: Mikal™ 18th October 2008, 02:08 PM

Nothing as of now .

Love this song, but I'd have had it as 3rd official single (as BDR wasn't really counted)

Posted by: Jark 18th October 2008, 02:25 PM

^What? If you'd have this as 3rd what would you have as 2nd? I don't understand.

The vid for this has been done by the same guy who did DC's Soldier, Mel C's Next Best Superstar and more.

Posted by: Ozmead 18th October 2008, 03:11 PM

the setting of the music video will take place in a Casino, Street Party and a Classroom.

Sounds exciting!

Posted by: Silver Rocket 18th October 2008, 04:18 PM

Is this in any way connected to the video?



*edit - as it doesn't seem to want to show if I embed it, watch here > http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=za9M726Aakw&feature=related

Posted by: Jark 18th October 2008, 04:56 PM

No it isn't.

Posted by: Tyler 18th October 2008, 05:36 PM

The best song on the album easily. I think it should be the third single atleast...I think 'Boys Boys Boys' would be the best song to release in the US.

Posted by: Ozmead 18th October 2008, 06:37 PM

I'd love to see "Summerboy" get a june release!

Posted by: Dannyboy 18th October 2008, 07:18 PM

This song is amazing. Great second choice single

Posted by: Jake 22nd October 2008, 12:49 PM

Posted by: Ozmead 22nd October 2008, 01:18 PM

simple yet GREAT video

I cant fault this woman at all. She has it all. voice. style. look

Posted by: Simon. 22nd October 2008, 02:34 PM

Shes a reet oddball thats for sure

Posted by: Jark 22nd October 2008, 03:42 PM

Amazing video. The opening scene is almost iconic. Oh god, it's SO good. She's so exciting.

Posted by: PeytonDavis 22nd October 2008, 03:52 PM

Oh my... I don't like it.
It sounds like a poorer, less catchy version of "Just Dance" to me.
I really liked Just Dance, too. But this just sounds like a remix of it.
It's all well and good having a "brilliant" video (which I don't think it is) but you can't see videos on radio.

Posted by: Sensitized (Woo) 22nd October 2008, 04:02 PM

I really like the video. Brilliance!
However the song itself just sounds like a rehash of 'Just Dance' but nowhere near as amazing.
Don't really like it at all

Posted by: Silver Rocket 22nd October 2008, 04:20 PM

I like this more than 'Just Dance', it's funkier and has such a unique structure to it.

Brilliant video, very stylish and classy. I envisaged her dancing on a casino table and throwing chips at guys drooling at her... but I guess she's half got that in one scene.

Posted by: Ozmead 22nd October 2008, 06:16 PM

I agree. Whilst in some ways it is a retool of "Just Dance" it is much better and there deffo is a uniqueness about it

Posted by: Dan. 22nd October 2008, 07:41 PM

The video's good, but I find her really unattractive in the video

Posted by: ♫ Boyan ♫ 22nd October 2008, 09:22 PM

great vid GaGa great vid!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.

This track may give Womanizer a run for it's money on my PC.

Posted by: Jake 24th October 2008, 02:09 AM

I must say

'Poker Face' ≥ 'Womanizer'

ALMOST AT LEAST

Posted by: Tyler 24th October 2008, 02:12 AM

Hmmmmm I wouldn't go that far Jake...



They are my top two songs of the year though

Posted by: Jake 24th October 2008, 02:15 AM

Tyler pls. It's ≥ not >

etc

Posted by: Tyler 24th October 2008, 02:19 AM

OH LOLZ

I didn't see the line. Silly me.

Posted by: Ozmead 25th October 2008, 08:18 PM

Um, I think Pokerface is a much better song than Womanizer although i love both. And I am voting for the song and not the artist.

Posted by: Jonny 25th October 2008, 08:26 PM

I think 'Poker Face' is weak compared to the rest of the album. :/

Posted by: Ozmead 26th October 2008, 05:55 PM

omfg, the guy at the end of the video IS infact Chace Crawford.

To cool

Posted by: On Your Shore 27th October 2008, 12:22 AM

song > video for me.

Posted by: Jack 27th October 2008, 01:52 AM

Shallow moment but that's just made me like the video a tiny bit more

The video is incredible though, as is the song. She's got so much creativity, I love it.

Posted by: Tyler 27th October 2008, 02:04 AM

So am I.

Posted by: Joao Filipe 27th October 2008, 02:06 AM

Love the video
Just makes me love the song so much more

Posted by: Ozmead 27th October 2008, 08:50 AM

That is genuenly good to hear. Because generally I get the feeling britney could release a 3 minute sneaze and people would still vote her.

Posted by: Tyler 27th October 2008, 06:12 PM

Yeah I agree...I would say Womanizer and Pokerface are on the same level for me. But in Britney's defense she has never released a single that was just terrible IMO...minus the cover for I Love Rock N' Roll, which wasn't bad but just stupid to do when she had so many better songs on that album.

I love Britney Spears more then any other artist, but Lady Gaga is really up there as well. [Britney Spears, No Doubt, Lady Gaga top 3 artists for me].

I might be a bit obsessive with Britney but not blind.

Posted by: misspatty86 28th October 2008, 12:39 AM

I'm so getting her CD when it comes out tomorrow. I can't wait!

wow video is just oooomph, the oppening sequence is iconic.

Posted by: Marty 1st November 2008, 08:11 AM

Womanizer is definitely my top song of the year, but Poker Face is in my Top 5.

Posted by: Ina 1st November 2008, 10:38 AM

Honestly said, I was really surprised and even impressed when I saw her on TV performing "Just dance" live - her vocal abilities are more than satisfactory ; and "Poker face" is an even better song. This girl might be the next big pop star!

Posted by: Tyler 18th November 2008, 04:47 PM

Pokerface is the second single release in the US...not BDR. It was released to radio but then postponed after Just Dance took off all of a sudden. Probably will be re-released to radio in January.

Posted by: KJ Christmas Rob 7th December 2008, 10:56 PM

Not a fan of this as much as Just Dance sounds abit messed up

Posted by: Jarkfrost 7th December 2008, 11:02 PM

I'm not entirely sure but I think I actually prefer this to Just Dance now! I love both but JD sounds so... slow. This is just more exciting. ;o

Posted by: Propilot87 8th December 2008, 03:46 AM

This is my favorite song on the album along with Love Games, me and my friends blast this everytime we are in the car.

Posted by: Marty 8th December 2008, 06:57 AM

4th week at #1 in Oz.

Posted by: Xylem 8th December 2008, 12:59 PM

I much prefer this over Just Dance.

Posted by: Little_Boyo 8th December 2008, 01:57 PM

It even beat the debut single from their new 'Australian Idol'

Posted by: `Katherine` 9th December 2008, 08:42 AM

Just Dance is trash and this everything but. It's so much more varied and original than the repetitively dull JD.

Posted by: Ashley 9th December 2008, 09:04 PM

One reason I think I prefer this to Just Dance is the lack of Colby O'Donis - he is absolute tack.

Amazing o.o

Posted by: Ethereal 8th January 2009, 02:20 AM

Love that version! Really shows off her voice.

Posted by: Jack 8th January 2009, 02:22 AM

OOOOF
Amazing take on it, I really love her voice.

Posted by: gooddelta 8th January 2009, 11:02 AM

I've grown to absolutely love this song recently

I never hated it as such, just wasn't impressed that such a similar sounding song was being released as an immediate follow up to Just Dance

after a few more listens though, other than the sound effects, it's not all that similar, and has a better melody

Posted by: Jarkchild 8th January 2009, 02:31 PM

Well isn't that acoustic performance a DELIGHT? Amazing... she's a proper talent. And SO. MUCH. FUN!

I didn't realise the lyric was 'she has got me like nobody' either.

Posted by: Tyler 10th January 2009, 06:24 PM

And yes, this totally deserves it's own topic.

Posted by: Aidan 10th January 2009, 07:06 PM

That is absoultely incredible!

Posted by: CremeEgg 10th January 2009, 08:53 PM

Wasn't expecting her to be such an amazing singer!
Great version

Posted by: Jonjo 10th January 2009, 08:57 PM

That is fantastic!

Her voice is so similar to Christina's, but I think I actually prefer Gaga's TBH!

Posted by: On Your Shore 11th January 2009, 04:42 AM

She has a strong voice.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 11th January 2009, 01:43 PM

That's brilliant, shows off her vocal ability and she's put a different spin on her own track. I laughed when she went really wild for the "when there's love, if it's not rough it isn't fun" part.

Posted by: Tom Kay 11th January 2009, 01:47 PM

Yeah, this really works, kind of reminds me of someone like Tori Amos (dunno why though). Anyone who says she can't sing must be pretty embarrassed now!

Posted by: Tyler 11th January 2009, 08:27 PM

Her voice is magical. I love this just as much as the original

Posted by: Josh 11th January 2009, 08:35 PM

Didn't think she'd be so good! Esp her voice, it's really old fashioned sounding. I still don't like her style (dress/hair style that is) much though.

Posted by: Chris_2k9 11th January 2009, 08:47 PM

Im not sure if I like this, it reminds me a bit of Amy Winehouse which isnt a good thing

Posted by: Shaun 11th January 2009, 11:05 PM

it sorta sounds music theater-ish! i quite like.
Why does she have to hide behind that wig? She looks so odd wearing it.

Posted by: Rena 11th January 2009, 11:08 PM

Hmmm, I dunno. I agree that she sounds like a mix between Amy Winehouse and Christina but im not sure that that is a good thing. And i've always got the vibe about her that she is trying to be too different. And I feel it again here. She can sing though.

Posted by: Propilot87 12th January 2009, 03:29 AM

Wow amazing performance!!! and what a voice!! She's the best!

Posted by: Rock N Rolla 12th January 2009, 01:45 PM

Woah thats absolutely amazing. What a voice Absolutely incredible. After that i wonder whether i might like the song.

Posted by: Addy! 12th January 2009, 09:08 PM

Lady GaGa forum is qualified for gettin AF in Buzzjack, but what we need now is your votes again ...please vote for her and not for duffy

Oh that's tough, I love both!

Posted by: Xmas_Bert 12th January 2009, 10:04 PM

Oh thanks for letting me know, I'm gonna vote for Duffy right now


Not keen on that accoustic version at all btw, it may be good in the way she shows she's got a very good voice, but I like the electro vibe of 'Pokerface', and this version just ruins it for me

Posted by: Jack 12th January 2009, 10:10 PM

I think it's a brilliant version of it, it strips it down and makes it almost a completely different song nearly. Also shows that she has very impressive vocals too, I don't see how this song could 'ruin' the original for you? But each to their own I guess.

Posted by: Xmas_Bert 13th January 2009, 12:21 PM

I mean it's just a vocal demonstration, and I didn't need it cause I already know she's a very good vocalist with strong abilities. So I just don't click with this version of 'Pokerface' cause the original is far far far better. My opinion

Posted by: Jack 13th January 2009, 12:23 PM

Okay, fair enough and I know it's your opinion? No need to be sarcastic about it

Posted by: Xmas_Bert 13th January 2009, 12:28 PM

But I wasn't sarcastic I'm a huge huge fan of the album since the day it leaked, so my comment shouldn't be taken as an attack to her, I just don't like this cover but still love her to bits.

Posted by: Jake 13th January 2009, 03:07 PM

Posted by: J-o-e 18th January 2009, 05:45 PM

No it debuted at #30 which I thought was pretty low for a song that has been so high on Itunes the majority of the week.

Posted by: Tom Kay 19th January 2009, 01:10 PM

iTunes is not the only place to buy music! Number 30 is fine considering the previous single is still number one, and this won't be out officially till March at the earliest...

I'm sure she wouldn't mind

Poker Face for world domination! it's already #3 on US itunes w/ fairly low airplay still! I think PF will be just as massive if not more than JD was here.

Posted by: Oral Fixation 10th February 2009, 05:17 AM

It's the "Puh-puh-puh-Poker Face" bit that really sells the song.

Posted by: Harve 18th February 2009, 10:50 PM

LMAO!

It would be astonishing for a newcomer to have 2 #1s in the space of a few months. Very, very, very difficult to do that.

Posted by: Liam-M 19th February 2009, 12:25 AM

Yes, but Lady GaGa is astonishing, she is new new Madonna, a fresh, new, unusual talent that the world has waited years for!

Posted by: Aidan 19th February 2009, 10:15 AM

I think she is definitely going to stay around for a long time.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 27th February 2009, 02:46 PM

Climbs 2-1 to give Lady GaGa her 2nd consecutive number one in Ireland!

It's had an impressive run in the Top 10 to get there, including being stuck at 2 behind "Just Dance" (which spent 5 weeks at No.1), and she would have knocked herself off the top if it hadn't been for U2 debuting at No.1 last week with "Get On Your Boots". It's chart career thus far has been: 8-5-5-2-2-2-1

Posted by: Aidan 27th February 2009, 03:30 PM

Incredible in Ireland.

Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 28th February 2009, 12:21 AM

Yes, fantastic! I still don't think she will do it in the UK though

Posted by: Mr Harry 28th February 2009, 09:04 AM

It'll definately be four by Sunday. I just hope that it can get top three here...

Posted by: Jake 1st March 2009, 02:46 AM

Pushed back to the 13th April for its proper release yes.

Posted by: Jack 1st March 2009, 02:52 AM

Why would they want to push it back even further when it looks set to go Top 5 this week?
Kind of pointless.

Posted by: Tyler 1st March 2009, 03:56 AM

I've seriously been listening to Pokerface for almost a year, and it still has not lost it's charm.

Amazing song.

Posted by: Mr Harry 1st March 2009, 12:37 PM

I can understand why they've pushed it back; there are some huge releases in the next few weeks and they must be worried that it'll lose its steam in the meantime. I'm guessing that by the time it comes out it'll be in the lower end of the top ten/higher end of the teens. I think she'll do some promotion around 10th April in hopes that a spurt of downloads and physical sales will push her to number one.

Either way, she's now number three on iTunes and looks set to overtake Taylor before long. Only problem is, is The Saturdays will be moving up throughout the course of today and tomorrow and will probably push it back down by one.

I'm excited to see where she's going to chart today, however! It's going to be very close between herself and T.I.

Posted by: Aaron™ 1st March 2009, 12:57 PM

I think releasing the physical for this will end up like the "Single Ladies" release, in that it wont have any effect. I think it's probably close to peaking over the next week or so and it will be sliding down the charts by mid-April.

Posted by: Harve 1st March 2009, 01:02 PM

It still should sell over 250k imo though.

Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 1st March 2009, 01:04 PM

True, I hope. But if they had brought it forward, there may have been a chance at number 1...

Posted by: Mr Harry 1st March 2009, 04:25 PM

As long as she does a fair amount of promotion around the time of release, she can still make it. If she truly is that set on getting number one in the UK (she cried when Just Dance got it) then she'd promote it properly in early April.

Posted by: Mikal™ 1st March 2009, 05:53 PM

No WAY will this peak in the next week

It's only just started getting proper radio and video play. It's got about 3 or 4 weeks before we'll see it peak in sales. Clubs are still orgasming over Just Dance.

Posted by: Aaron™ 1st March 2009, 06:16 PM

In sales, maybe, but I'm just getting the feeling that it will be a big #3. The top end of the chart will be quite crowded with all of these new releases over the next few weeks but "Poker Face" has been available all this time. I don't think it will get a huge spike in sales but it'll consistently sell about 30-35k for the next few weeks.

I hope I'm wrong though, it totally deserves to be a second #1 for her. I just don't think a physical will be worth releasing in 6 weeks time.

Posted by: Mikal™ 1st March 2009, 06:18 PM

Actually scrap what I said I agree with you.

I think it'll be annoyingly stuck at #3 for like 5 weeks or so

Posted by: Aidan 1st March 2009, 06:37 PM

New peak of #3.

Posted by: Mr Harry 1st March 2009, 08:06 PM

Next week it'll drop to four or five as two more new overly hyped tracks squeeze into the top three but it should climb again the week after.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 1st March 2009, 08:43 PM

I think this could peak within the top 2 when all the Comic Relief stuff is out of the way, hopefully anyway.

Posted by: Aidan 1st March 2009, 08:50 PM

I'm sure it will. I think next week it will fall to #5 because of The Saturdays and Flo Rida and maybe climb to #4 or stay at #5 the following week.

Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 2nd March 2009, 12:38 AM

Me too. I think it's too high too early to go to number one. But I think it will do a Use Somebody and get to #2.

Totally different songs I know

Posted by: Mr Harry 4th March 2009, 04:22 PM

Looks like it'll make number three this week, it's overtaken Kelly.

Just heard 'Poker Face' on Galaxy....don't think its a scratch on 'lets Dance' personally but still really loving it....anyone got the album? In two minds on whether I should get it or not?

Posted by: Jack 11th March 2009, 03:27 PM

The album is amazing! You should really get it if you like both 'Just Dance' and 'Poker Face' .

Posted by: ToMF Kay 11th March 2009, 10:18 PM

Yes, definitely get the album. The funny thing is, Poker Face convinced me to get it... I thought Just Dance was just OK at first, and love that now!

Posted by: LadyGaGa 12th March 2009, 02:42 AM

I love the entire CD. It is one of the best CDs I have gotten in a long time where I like every single song.

Posted by: Aidan 12th March 2009, 06:39 AM

This is ridiculous though the song will never hold on to #1 until the 13th.

Gosh I was so nervous for GaGa, but SOOOO pleased she is number one I wonder if her next release will go number one too.

Definitely he's the one who is spamming. LOL

Posted by: Tom Kay Etc. 23rd March 2009, 05:48 PM

It is so awesome that she is number one again But I just can't believe that they have pushed the single release back to April 13. Anyone know the digital single will be available earlier? I really want the remixes...

GaGa is booked for Jonathan Ross. From Twitter:

But great news so pleased

Posted by: myfunkodyssey 23rd March 2009, 10:15 PM

i'm sure they pushed back the physical release so she can do promo for PF before it's 'officially' out. her US tour ends on like april 10th, so she can go do UK promo the week of release

Posted by: Rule The World 23rd March 2009, 10:34 PM

i wonder will they cancel the phyisiical now that it has done so well on downloads and no dount will have at least 50,000 more downloads this week bringing its total tally past 300,000,they may think the phyisical wont benefit the singole much more

Posted by: Aidan 24th March 2009, 04:04 PM

I hope not. I know physicals don't really benefit in the singles chart, but I still think it could hold well at a good position.

Posted by: Aidan 25th March 2009, 06:48 AM

Now back at #2 on iTunes.

Posted by: johnn 25th March 2009, 06:59 AM

I hate to say it, but I think I'm falling in love with Poker Face. I have always claimed to hate Lady Gaga from the start, but over the past 6 months I have secretly been slowly converted. Lovegame has pushed me over the line but Poker Face is just so addictive. I hate myself for liking her though.

Posted by: Aidan 25th March 2009, 03:14 PM

Why hate yourself? Lady GaGa is the best artist ever.

Just checked with tv company and GaGa is apparently at Paul O'Grady April 20th. Seems so far away!

Now Im not sure if 20th if a live show or a pre-rec. Presume Wossy will be same week (24th) if shes in the country.

Posted by: Jake 27th March 2009, 04:42 PM

She's finishing her US tour remember...Finishes around the 10th April I think?

Anyway she's performing 'Poker Face' on 'American Idol', 01-04-09. Her first proper big TV show performance I believe

Posted by: Ethereal 27th March 2009, 05:12 PM

Can't wait to see her on Idol.

I can't wait for that. Should be another great performance.

Posted by: EastEnders_Rocks 29th March 2009, 01:48 AM

i love vinyls and i'd love to see them make a big comeback, i may buy both the cd and vinyl of this as i love the song and from what i have heard of the rest of the album poker face is likely the only song will buy from gaga as i don't like any of the other tracks.

Posted by: Ethereal 2nd April 2009, 03:56 PM

I really hope she incorporates a live band into her performances more because they really do give her songs a new lease of life. JD on Leno and PF on Idol were amazing with the band.

Its from Star Academy - I presume the girl who came out to sing is a contestant? Didn't like her anyway

It's "Star Academie" actually, the Quebec/Canadian version of the show.
"Star Academy" is the original French show

She's on Jonathan Ross in two weeks. Think she is being interviewed as well as performing.

Posted by: NexxTom Kay 3rd April 2009, 11:29 PM

Incredible performance. I think that has guaranteed here a second week at number one in the US, and probably a third in the UK. I can't wait for the Wossy appearance!

Posted by: Aidan 4th April 2009, 08:41 AM

That's good, she will be over here the week of the physical release.

Posted by: Jur 4th April 2009, 09:34 AM

Also #1 in Holland this week

Posted by: Xmas_Bert 4th April 2009, 01:25 PM

Liked the AI performance, but I don't like the long piano intro (I know I know, I must be the only one ).
I like the beat & perfect production of her songs, so when she performs it accoustic, I just don't click with it.

You definitely are the only one.

Posted by: Kath Aloud 5th April 2009, 12:54 AM

Always knew it was going to be huge, but not this huge. Woah it literally must have a no.1 in every single country by now? After how long am I still addicted to GaGa and this song, like aages. Hopefuly her reign at the top spans for as long as possible, she really is worth it. <3

She's so talented, at first I thought she was completely overhyped but the more I've listened to the album over the last year, the more I've realised how quality and how talented she is. Both singles and the album should end off among the most successful for this DECADE. Great news

You need a billing address in the other country, not that they ever send anything there and either a gift card or a bank account for that country as well.

It is possible, i'm sure you could probs just use a Credit Card for iTunes USA if you can come up with an address. Google earth street view

Down to #2 this week.

During her performance early Sunday morning, she opened up about the meaning behind "Poker Face," suggesting that the song is about her personal experience with bisexuality. To an enthusiastic crowd reaction, she stated the song is about being with a man but fantasizing about a woman; hence, the man must read her "Poker Face."

Still on top Hopefully BEP's sales drop, GaGa looks likely to regain top spot in the US with the airplay it's received, its just behind on sales, well a major load of them lol..

Posted by: Bibliotheque 16th April 2009, 02:08 PM

Yup GaGa has another chance at #1 next week as BEP sales continue to drop and Eminem's airplay is crap so will need to outsell GaGa by +100k to get #1.

Actually I just compared pop bars and GaGa is getting further away from BEP on iTunes >;[

She performed it at Jonathan Ross tonight - she had to do it twice- not that I was complaining!

Full live band, sounded AMAZING!

And she looked stunning.

Interview little cringey but god I adore her. Wossy said something about internet rumours about her being born a man. She goes "Well I do have a big donkey dick"

Posted by: RyJ7 16th April 2009, 09:54 PM

Yup she was 2nd on. The interview was strange and people didnt really get her which annoyed me.

She told the story about her grandmother being blind and everyone laughed she was like "I'm serious!"

Posted by: Aaron* 16th April 2009, 10:04 PM

Eek, sounds a bit awkward. Where British and American humour doesn't quite crossover. I wonder how much of it we get to see of it.

I'd have liked to have been there, so I'm slightly jealous, but it's not quite close enough to go.

Posted by: RyJ7 16th April 2009, 10:06 PM

Loved seeing it back! thrilled they kept donkey dick in!

Posted by: Ethereal 17th April 2009, 10:20 PM

Think it was a mistake acting the way she did because many people have a preconceived idea that she is up herself and a diva when she's not. This just reinforced their opinion when I've seen many normal interviews where she comes across lovely. Hopefully she's not like that on Paul O'Grady. If she's not careful she will end up a caricature and completely fake.

Posted by: Aaron* 17th April 2009, 10:33 PM

I shouldn't think she will be, Jonathon Ross is a bit of an idiot Paul is less so. She seemed like she was being quite awkward with her answers but he generally asked silly questions as well.

Posted by: Slowpoke 17th April 2009, 10:34 PM

LOL at her screams! xD

Posted by: Callum24 17th April 2009, 10:35 PM

The interview was really awkward and the screams are a bit weird. She is scaring me a bit.

Posted by: Slowpoke 17th April 2009, 10:36 PM

At the start when she went "Come on everyone get up! NOW!!!" I was like...

Posted by: Ethereal 17th April 2009, 10:38 PM

Hmm.. interesting performance lol. Nice to have a different arrangement but not sure if I liked it. The cackling and screaming was a bit much too.

Posted by: RyJ7 17th April 2009, 10:38 PM

LOL what happened was - we were told not to stand or dance.

That was the 2nd recording of the performance and she clearly wanted us to stand so told us too

She was so spaced out. The audience laughter was so cringey throughout!

Posted by: Slowpoke 17th April 2009, 10:45 PM

Why were you told not to stand or dance? Did people ignore the requests when she asked you to? And what do you mean about the laughter?

I'm so full of questions!

Posted by: RyJ7 17th April 2009, 10:52 PM

LOL its ok-

No idea why not allowed to stand! But we didnt first time. Then second time we did

Laughter- just 95% of audience thought she was bit of a prick and was laughing at her awkwardly!

Its a shame she came across like this on her first big UK interview.

Posted by: Kathh · 17th April 2009, 10:57 PM

Hmmm, from just browsing through the comments and not seeing the show myself I'd say:
If she comes across as fake, maybe that's just who she is, I mean covering up coming across as fake is a bit TOO perfect. .? GaGa's quirkyness and originality are main factors when getting to love her and her music. .
But then again I don't know what's going on, but gosh just accept her for her weird moments <3 her music and style is weird anyway and the main reason why we love her.
Some predictable artist like Leona for example won't socialize and do things GaGa does, I think she is being whole heartedly herself with the wig and without it.. I mean she treats even her lunatic jump-on-you type of fans with respect, she is varied in various situation which is why like her songs describe - the paparazzi (media) is intrigued with her

Posted by: Ethereal 17th April 2009, 11:03 PM

I'm all for quirkyness and originality in her style and performances. She has always been like that but then she has been surprisingly normal and friendly in her interviews which I found very endearing. To me this just screamed of playing up to the image the media has fabricated of her being a 'freak' and I've never seen her act like that in my life.

Posted by: Nightcrawler 17th April 2009, 11:09 PM

To be honest I hid behind a cushion for most of her interview. From the moment Jonathan introduced his guests in the green room I said "uh oh" to my housemate. She looked completely space cadet with her little tea cup and bizarre neck movements. She was incredibly odd throughout the interview and towards the end I felt bad for her as it was as though JR and the audience were mocking her slightly. Once she started giving more than one word answers it got better but I was still waiting for it to be over.

The performance...eesh. Well I've been raving about Gaga to my housemates for months and this is the first chance I've had to watch a performance of hers with them...and I was embarrassed. She was all over the place screaming and generally just sounding like Winehouse when she sings drunk. I really don't know what went wrong with her tonight - normally she performs really well, especially when I've seen her on T4 and MTV - I wonder if it really was "ginger tea" she was drinking or if it was "ginger ale".

Posted by: Kathh · 17th April 2009, 11:12 PM

Oh, well it is the UK so I don't know what is going on and from her previous interviews etc I can understand the difference but maybe Ryan knows what really happened? Who was overboard first, what was cut out and what wasn't etc. Perhaps she's bipolar LOL and the host prevokes her to go on highs. .?

Posted by: Ms Keri's Baby 18th April 2009, 02:46 AM

Oh my god. That was her Joss Stone moment! It feels like she might've lost a fair bit of support after that.

The arrangement on Poker Face was good, but her frankly scary grunts and moans were just... not good. Perhaps if she'd wanted to experiment like that she could've done it on tour, but on national TV? It felt like she'd lost the plot. And what made her decide to play up to her freak persona like that in the interview I don't know. What the HELL were the weird neck movements all about?! It felt like she was acting shy too, in an utterly false sort of way, and on top of that she was being totally awkward with one-word answers. 'Are you popular elsewhere? Europe, Japan?' 'Yes'. Just... not a good look.

Posted by: Jonny 18th April 2009, 02:50 AM

It almost felt as if she was told to answer like that. She didn't really give much away, seemed like she was being told what to say (or what not to say). The whole thing was embarrassing to watch at points. Odd anyway. The performance was awful. She ruined her own song.

Posted by: gooddelta 18th April 2009, 07:44 AM

most cringeworthy performance and interview I've ever seen...oh dear, she sounded like a deranged duck

Posted by: JakeWild 18th April 2009, 08:55 AM

i've just watched her performance back on youtube and it's actually quite good when you give it a second listen. i wish i could say the same about that interview though! and what was with the tea? was she trying to be british or something? if so it was a bit patronising..

and what was martin clunes' joke about gay people all about? it was so uncalled for..

Posted by: Aidan 18th April 2009, 09:17 AM

The interview was so awkward. At one part John said something and the audience laughed, and she was about to say 'Why are you laughing?' I felt so bad for her I had to look away at some parts. The performances was great, but the screams were frightening.

Posted by: spiker 18th April 2009, 10:07 AM

The interview was bad - I don't think they 'got' each other. I liked the performance though.

It certainly won't harm her career.

Posted by: Cremey 18th April 2009, 10:26 AM

I quite liked the screaming bits!

Posted by: Scherz 18th April 2009, 10:56 AM

No idea what happened last night, but that's not how she is usually.
At times it looked as if it had been heavily edited, especially the part where she told the story about fogging herself.
I think the mention of the 'rumours' about her being a well endowed man was uncalled for and you could see on her face she was uncomfortable.
I just felt like that questions he asked were stupid and he completely undermined her right from the beginning when he asked what people call her.
After she replied with 'GaGa', he made sure that before every question he asked her, he slipped in "Well, GaGa"... "Yes, Lady GaGa"..."But GaGa"..
And then when she asked him not to make fun of Donatella and he did it anyway, several times... She just looked so uncomfortable.
I'm sure Paul O'Grady will be much better.

Amazing:

Posted by: thisispop 18th April 2009, 07:05 PM

^

You are actually closer to the truth than you think.

Personally I absolutely loved the interview, as a pure artistic statement it more interesting than 99% of Record Company PR controlled to within an inch of their lives puppets popstars on the planet today. Even if it has been all done before.

For those who don't know Lady GaGa's all time favourite artist is David Bowie. Which happens to be the all time favourite artist of Jonathan Ross.

Back in 1974 David Bowie was the biggest new artist on the planet however he generally did not do chatshows much, as he had a rather legendary contempt in the UK when being interviewed by idiots; but equally could be charming, intelligent and graceful when being interviewed by someone who knew there stuff and gave him the respect or humour his talent deserved. However he built up a reputation for shocking people.

One such occasion was his first ever Stateside Prime Time Friday Night interview on the then biggest chatshow in America at the time hosted by Dick Cavett:





David found Dick Cavett's introduction (in the first video) that he thought (as he has said since) "if you want freaky I'll give you freaky" and preceded to give a truly memorable interview, as you will see from the cringeworthy second video.

It is against this background that Ms GaGa and Jonathan Ross have created in my view a "win win" situation for both parties. That will be a "water cooler moment" in offices next week.

Certainly Jonathan Ross was happy with the interview on his Twitter account:

"Am somewhat bemusd by general reaction to Lady Gaga last night! I loved her and thought it was fun, in a deliberately strange way. Oh well.."

"She was cool and funny and I did my Donatella Versace mpersonation for her. Might be cut out though !"

"Lady Gaga performing live ! It was awesome !"

"Yes. IMHO I think one of the best. This week and Lionel Richie/Vin Diesel/MichaelSheen/Sparks have been the best this series "

"She was so good wasn't she. Can't wait to see full live show. Had a chat in dressingroom afters - she had on 3rd spectacular outfit."

"She was nice. And funny. i liked her and will have her back on for sure."

Posted by: gooddelta 18th April 2009, 07:42 PM

slightly off topic, but I love the way the CD single of Poker Face has a sticker saying 'the huge #1 single' or something to that effect!

who ever thought they'd see the day that CD singles could display these facts!

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 18th April 2009, 08:44 PM

I was just wondering as i've been researching on the web that she could be a shemale. Also i hear rumours she can't sing but that i strongly disagree with. Just seen the accoustic pokerface video.

Posted by: Jack 18th April 2009, 08:48 PM

^ Oh no I've heard things about the shemale, but it's just a big rumour and she was being sarcastic when she said she used to have a penis apparently. :/

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 18th April 2009, 08:52 PM

Well thats relief because i was actually believing it. It is a shame she got slated for just this performance. However looking at some other interviews she has been almost the same . Wonder what she'll be like on Grady show . Hope she turns it around

Posted by: Ethereal 18th April 2009, 08:56 PM

What interviews have you been watching because I've never seen her like that. She's always been normal like here:

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 18th April 2009, 09:06 PM

WTF she's as normal as anyone there. So she must be either been very high on something or acting on JR and some other interviews

Posted by: Ethereal 18th April 2009, 09:25 PM

Watching the interview back, it's not as cringey as I remembered. Some of JR's questions were stupid and I think he was rude to mention the man thing and she looked genuinely hurt by it. She was never going to understand the Ant and Dec reference either.

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 18th April 2009, 09:29 PM

from my views she was came across very cute and lovely but yeah very hurt. I found JR's comments funny but very unpleasant

Posted by: RyJ7 18th April 2009, 09:36 PM

I dont thnk its nearly as bad as everyone made out. Sure she wasnt herself and some of the answers very cringey but like Ethereal said JR shouldnt have made the man reference and asked such daft questions which she clearly wouldn't understand.

It really didnt help that the audience didnt quite get her and she totally knew most were laughing at her. I was so pissed off with everyones reaction

She owned them all with donkey dick though!

Posted by: Aaron* 18th April 2009, 09:53 PM

Hmm...I thought she might have been doing something like this. I just don't know if people can get away with doing that these days, pop artists are much more disposable now. Perhaps it wasn't a wise move to do this on her first UK TV interview as the general public wont know how she actually is yet. Only time will tell if it was a good move or if she's shot herself in the foot. It's all good being 'an artist' but you need people to buy your records. He may have been happy with the interview, but it's obviously caused a stir with the public.

Posted by: Nightcrawler 18th April 2009, 10:31 PM

Yeah that's all well and good but that was just another thing that annoyed me - JR asked her if she had any inspirations in her look/sound and she said no I'm original. In other interviews she mentioned Bowie and Christina Aguilera, so to say that no one inspired her, to me was quite irritating and did nothing for her to get back into my good books

Posted by: Tom KayMistry 18th April 2009, 10:56 PM

I actually think she was quite intimidated and nervous. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she hasn't done many TV interviews before. And she didn't quite get Johnathan's humour. In fact, I wondered at points if she understood him at all.

Apart from that, I thought she was bright, sparky and fairly impressive. If she survives another five years in the industry, she will be a brilliant Grace Jones style interviewee then - I hope

Posted by: Ryan 19th April 2009, 01:56 AM

Well I watched this on youtube and she really has went down in my estimation sadly. I just thought it was pretty pathetic and sad to watch.

It's like she is going all out to try and be different, weird, kooky, eccentric etc and it just come across as a massive farce. She was all those things with her music/lyrics without having to feel the need to give STUPID interviews.

I agree with Etheral nearly ALL the other interviews I've seen her give she has come across as a normal, grounded and nice girl.

Fake.Fake.Fake. f*** you Gaga.

Posted by: Josh 19th April 2009, 02:28 AM

How weird, it's like watching two different people (and I know which one I prefer) ^

Shame, it's almost attractive seeing her when she's not making an ass of herself (whether she's making an artistic statement or not). Meh the performance was funny though, it was like she was doing a weird Prince/Steven Tyler/Mick Jagger combo impression.

Posted by: Chris_2k9 19th April 2009, 02:33 AM

Agree with everything you've said here.

Totally shocked by this She's like a different person in this interview, so ignorant and coming across like she's high above. The performance was dire too, I hated the screaming bits. She was obviously trying to make it sound a bit different but it didn't work at all. The whole thing was $h!t basically.

Posted by: Tom KayMistry 19th April 2009, 08:38 AM

I LOVED the performance The arrangement had more guitars and live drumming, so it's only fair she let her rock chick side out. If this was Pink, noone would object I will agree that the Australian interview is better. She says about the same things here though, I still think she was intimidated and confused by Jonathan.

Posted by: AAC 19th April 2009, 06:28 PM

I've just seen the interview with Jonathan Ross, and while I think her album is great, she's just too arrogant. I don't find the "artistic" arrogance endearing at all. She said a few predictable controversial lines, but I felt there was very little personality. I haven't seen any of her previous interviews, but she came across as manufactured as any other pop act people will criticise - just with a new spin on it.
I know I'm in the minority, but in comparison, I'd much rather watch Leona's "boring, manufactured" interviews. Gaga was just as boring and predictable.

Posted by: Bibliotheque 20th April 2009, 11:58 AM

Oh and the interview with Jo Wiley was really good and we got some new info:

-Jo asked if the rumours she was doing a duet with Rihanna were true and GaGa said no () but that she was doing a duet with a man she met recently, it's not for her new album.
-GaGa's performing at UK festivals but wouldn't say which ones.
-GaGa's next tour will include the UK, but it won't be like a continuation of The Fame Ball Tour it will be different and better.

Posted by: RyJ7 20th April 2009, 11:59 AM

Excellent thanks for info!

So Bleeding Love was one of her song choices? Slightly gutted she didnt do it!

Posted by: RyJ7 20th April 2009, 12:00 PM

Viva La Vida -



Poker Face -

Posted by: Bibliotheque 20th April 2009, 12:02 PM

Choices I can remember:

GA - Untouchable
Miley Cyrus - Fly On The Wall
Coldplay - VLV
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

erm there might have been more that I can't remember but iPlayer will have the whole show on so people can listen again later.

Oh and I don't know if they actually made her choose one of the above or if GaGa wanted to do VLV and the radio just said there were other possibilities to make it more exciting.

Posted by: RyJ7 20th April 2009, 12:06 PM

Love VLV! Her little comments are hilarious!

Posted by: osker 20th April 2009, 12:16 PM

Those were the only possibilities that Jo gave. As far as the song selection from the artist's point of view goes...I think they're given an extensive list, but can choose their own if they wish, but their choice then has to be approved by someone at Radio 1.

I could forgive GaGa for forgetting some of the lyrics to Viva La Vida, but the frequent "Uh Uh Uh"s in the vocals and the occasional needless shouting rather than singing took away from what could have been a great performance. I think it's the ridiculous intentional stuttering that puts me off Poker Face so much.

She on POG in approx half an hour. But yes his program starts at 5

Posted by: thisispop 20th April 2009, 04:15 PM

She was reported to be in a New York studio last Tuesday with this musical legend:

Posted by: Aaron* 20th April 2009, 04:17 PM

She's performing now with the acoustic start. Just seen she's got her teacup on the piano...uh oh.

Posted by: Bibliotheque 20th April 2009, 04:19 PM

When she said about the duet she might have been talking about her song with Wale called Chillin' that just got released in America.

Posted by: Cisus Christ™ 20th April 2009, 04:22 PM

Brilliant performance

Posted by: Ethereal 20th April 2009, 04:23 PM

Amazing performance! So happy she didn't scream like in recent performances and I'm glad she did both the piano and normal version.

Posted by: OrgasmicLust 20th April 2009, 04:24 PM

Much better performance then when she was on JR.

Dunno WTF happened on Friday then. =/

Posted by: Robot 20th April 2009, 04:24 PM

Great performance, eagerly awaiting the interview.

Posted by: Josh 20th April 2009, 04:32 PM

The Poker Face on Radio 1's Live Lounge is brilliant. It shows she can actually sing, she has a really old fashioned 1940/50's American Jazz/Blues singer voice.

Posted by: Ethereal 20th April 2009, 04:36 PM

Did you see her on Paul O'Grady or American Idol? She started out with the piano version and then went into the regular version.

Posted by: Cremey 20th April 2009, 04:37 PM

Her voice at the beginning of the POG performance really reminded me of Amy Winehouse in some parts!

Posted by: Robot 20th April 2009, 04:46 PM

She was lovely today, an absolutely great guest to have. So so so much better than Jonathon Ross.

Posted by: Chemical_Halo 20th April 2009, 04:46 PM

I want to marry her! <3

I didn't realise how adorable she was!!!

Posted by: Ethereal 20th April 2009, 04:47 PM

Really cute interview! She's so tiny even with those massive heels lol.

Posted by: Ms Keri's Baby 20th April 2009, 04:48 PM

Better yeah, and the performance was amazing, but I still feel like she's pretty much free of personality when she's on talk shows. She just goes on about her 'art' and her 'fashion' and 'being real' and says 'thankyouuuu' in that faux cutesy American way.

Posted by: RyJ7 20th April 2009, 05:00 PM

^ Think thats just her amazingly nice friendly personality

Fab interview today, good to see shes not spaced out still! Paul was more her sort of person than Wossy.

Posted by: Aidan 20th April 2009, 05:12 PM

Great performance. And the interview was so much better than on Jonathan Ross. I think he was just asking ridicolous questions really...

Posted by: Slowpoke 20th April 2009, 05:22 PM

Anyone got the videos for the performance and interview on PoG? I missed it!

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 05:23 PM

Absolutely amazing performance and the interview was really good. Now i think it shows Paul is much more funnier and nicer about his guests than JR who i've gone off alot now because of friday. Basil Brush and Stephen Mulhern seemed to enjoy her company too which was good. She's a really nice person i thought.

Breathtaking

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 05:25 PM

Posted by: Ms Keri's Baby 20th April 2009, 05:25 PM

^Absolutely ridiculous. JR was doing his best to make her feel at home, he toned down his humour and everything, she was just rude/spaced out/whatever. Time to get over it?

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 05:25 PM

Don't know if the interview is there. You could also catch it on Sky channel 135 the repeat

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 05:26 PM

Er WTF

Thats old now after POG which just happened

Posted by: Ms Keri's Baby 20th April 2009, 05:26 PM

Right back atcha.

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 05:28 PM

JR was just being stupid i thought. Dirty old man Gaga isn't entirely to blame i thought

Posted by: Aidan 20th April 2009, 05:36 PM

I agree. I've gone off JR now. Paul was great!

Posted by: Cisus Christ™ 20th April 2009, 05:39 PM

Now I'm one of GaGa's biggest supporters but SHE was the one who was being a knob on Jonathon Ross. You can't deny that it was her fault it was awkward surely?!

He was trying like Jark said to make her feel welcomed and comftorable. Anyway that looks to have been a one-off-twat-moment so we'll let her off

Posted by: RyJ7 20th April 2009, 05:40 PM

I dont think JR was entirely to blame. She clearly wasn't with it much that night. But he did ask some stupid questions and was daft mentioning the man rumour.

Anyway bit OTT to say you've gone off JR over it.

Posted by: Slowpoke 20th April 2009, 05:50 PM

Is her performance not online yet?! Did no-one record it?

Posted by: Ethereal 20th April 2009, 05:51 PM

I think GaGa is mostly to blame because she was being awkward. He didn't help the situation though with some of his questions.

Posted by: Slowpoke 20th April 2009, 05:54 PM

Ah right I see it, any higher quality by any chance?

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 06:04 PM

Be patient whilst i'll get a better one

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 06:07 PM

Interview here if its not great quality then i'm sorry but thats all there is

Posted by: KJ Rob N Rolla 20th April 2009, 06:09 PM

There's only 1 qualitied vid on there ATM. And thats this one. Soz

Posted by: Conor 20th April 2009, 06:14 PM

Well im sure if you were asked the same questions over and over for months in every interview like 'why is your name Lady Gaga etc' you'd get tired of answering them.
She seemed great on the Jo Whiley & Paul O Grady Interviews.

Posted by: Cisus Christ™ 20th April 2009, 06:25 PM

Posted by: Slowpoke 20th April 2009, 06:36 PM

Great thanks!

Posted by: Tom KayMistry 20th April 2009, 06:51 PM

Awww, she was so sweet on Paul O'Grady. She really reminds me of Debbie Harry from Blondie there, though I think she nicked Grace Jones' hat

Speaking of Grace, I think that the Wossy interview will go down as her Russell Harty moment. It might be controvesial now, but it will add to her mystique and who she is as a character in time Wish I could find a link to that on YouTube

Posted by: Mikeyjosh 20th April 2009, 07:47 PM

I seriously do not understand all the JR hate He did nothing wrong in that interview.
I quite liked the POG performance, but I really really really HATE it when she starts the song slow on the Piano. It's awful

Posted by: Slowpoke 20th April 2009, 08:16 PM

I prefer the up-tempo version but I like it when she starts with the acoustic, it's like a build-up!

Posted by: Tom KayMistry 20th April 2009, 08:20 PM

I love it Makes people see she's a real singer-songwriter.

Posted by: seejayjee 20th April 2009, 08:23 PM

The Jonathan Ross interview was a bit of a mess, she seemed nervous and defensive. But I bet her PR people warned her about him, some of the things he's done in the past can seem a little inappropriate and she's still young! Loved her Paul O'Grady performance and interview though.

Posted by: Kathh · 21st April 2009, 07:48 AM

Some LOL Teacup story that's all over the net atm:

LMFAO at the last bit - not revealing anything about the tea cup - does it have some secret function or is made of terracota or something?
The cup was also apparently returned to her when she was spotted with her favourite cup at Radio 1:

Posted by: Kathh · 21st April 2009, 08:25 AM

I think after all the negativity surrounding the Jonathan Ross interview and performance is now in the dust, she redeemed herself on Paul O' Grady. Absolutely aced the interview and her performance of Viva La Vida I'd rank among her best, so what @ the words slip-up - half the time you can't even make out what Coldplay is saying in their songs anyway..
I think she's receiving quite a bit of disrespect lately, most of the interviews involve the same predictable questions each times - an almost insult to her most of the time. She's over implied as "another trend artist that wont last" and I think this is bound to have an affect on her and it clearly did on Jonathan Ross, there is more behind that interview than we know and now with all the harsh criticism she received from it - she has learnt from her mistakes which is clear from her last interview.
Also a bit disappointing how some of her fans surround their whole impression of her from that interview alone.. A bit harsh and over critical, but I guess it's only a normal response to an artist who is under the limelight atm.

Posted by: jimmyjoe 21st April 2009, 01:29 PM

Cute interview on BBC Breakfast this morning. Love her comments about her cup.

Posted by: Aled. 21st April 2009, 02:54 PM

I know im digging up relativly old conversation here but how was Jonathon Ross to blame for her being a knob on his show?

Posted by: Slowpoke 22nd April 2009, 03:52 PM

She's going to top 11K! What was Leona's record? And would this mean she'd have the track with the highest spins in history?

Posted by: Bibliotheque 22nd April 2009, 04:11 PM

Leona's record is 10,993 spins. I think it'll be be the highest spins in one week in history for pop radio, although I get quite confused with spins and audience and impressions and american radio charts in general so maybe someone can give a more certain answer

Posted by: Kathh · 22nd April 2009, 04:23 PM

And to think Just Dance only got to #3 on US Airplay and spent 3 weeks at the top of the hot 100, where GaGa's having record airplay with Poker Face which only spent 1 week. Garn Black Eyed Peas.

Posted by: Bibliotheque 22nd April 2009, 04:34 PM

I'm just thankful for the one week, thanks for removing Flo iTunes

I thought that maybe she'd have another shot one of these weeks as originally BEP's sales were slowing quite fast and Eminem sort of flopped but BEP sales are steadying now and it's too much of a lead for GaGas airplay

Posted by: Kathh · 22nd April 2009, 04:34 PM

Poker Face now Gold in Germany (150,000)
http://www.musikindustrie.de/gold_platin_datenbank.html

Posted by: Kathh · 22nd April 2009, 04:40 PM

Ah I know, well a no.1 is still good anyway.. She'd probably have 4 weeks if BEP never released but PF should go 3x Platinum and have a Disturbia-esque chart run which is still pretty darn impressive. PF's at 4 on the digital chart so she should stick another week at no.2 on the hot 100 and maybe challenge next week again

I don't want to look or sound stupid but what do these 'spins' mean?

Well, i inevitably sound like one

Posted by: Aidan 25th April 2009, 02:29 PM

I never understand what they mean ever!

Posted by: Kathh · 25th April 2009, 03:47 PM

It's so simple, a spin is the term used for a single play on the radio.. So Poker Face has 11000 spins means its been played 11000 times in total on radio stations across the U.S. So if you look on U.S iTunes and the Spins chart you can quite easily predict the Hot 100 because it combines both airplay and sales

Posted by: Aidan 25th April 2009, 03:57 PM

OK, thanks for explaining it. But you didn't have to put in 'it's so simple', since it isn't really.

I really don't understand spins n $h!t

Posted by: FMbassador11 1st May 2009, 03:16 PM

I think spins mean rotations.
If so, rotations mean how many minutes or hours before the song gets played again.

Not sure yet.

About bullet, I don't understand it either.

Posted by: Cisus Christ™ 1st May 2009, 03:29 PM

Basically spins = plays on radio.
Bullet = Spin increase/decrease

So yesterday it was played on Pop Radio in America 113 times.

For example. If a song was spun 200 times in its first day and then the second day it had 100 spins, it's bullet would be -100 because it LOST 100 spins from the previous day.

Side/note: It's the biggest Pop Radio hit... ever as well. Leona held the record with 10093 spins before. So WOO

Posted by: Ethereal 1st May 2009, 03:48 PM

Isn't bullet the weekly spin difference? Not daily as far as I know.

Posted by: Cisus Christ™ 1st May 2009, 03:54 PM

The overall bullet is rolling, it's all very confusing.

The +105 bullet bit is the daily one though.

1 1 LADY GAGA Poker Face 11103 11008 95

The bit i've bolded is the overall bullet. It makes little sense I know LOL
