Has Gaga's 3rd single aged badly as some seem to be suggesting on the forum? ohmy.gif

Let's settle this once and for all x

Whoever thinks it aged badly needs to get his ears checked.

Paparazzi? When most of the RedOne productions from The Fame are right there?

Absolutely not. It doesn't sound current, but it doesn't sound dated in the same way LoveGame or Just Dance etc do.

Omg YES!!

Again this is a track that Steps could sing to! It's cheesy and dated. The fact that fans - only on the forums - thinks this rivals her big songs amd vids is pretty LOL. It's just boring now. Just Dance sounds so much fresher.

Not at all! If anything I think Paparazzi is the one single from The Fame that doesn’t particularly scream “2009”. Not that I think this quality that the other singles possess is a bad thing. I love that a listen of Poker Face takes me back to that year!

Steps-lite cheese xo

Nah, voted no. I don't listen to it much anymore (I just listen to Gaga less now anyway oops, come @ me) but I don't tend to think of songs as 'aging badly' or 'aging well', even if I sometimes might agree with those sentiments when others say it. Even if I did, I would never think that about 'Paparazzi' I think!

Just Dance does not sound fresher. RedOne turned that sound into a formula and sold it to anyone who could afford it at the time. His tricks wore thin after a year or so and his songs from that era all sound so similar. They're very of their time.

Paparazzi is lucky that Rob Fusari wasn't as formulaic (at all — most of his stuff on the album is clearly referencing classic rock ballads and disco) so it doesn't sound like it belongs to a certain year. It doesn't sound like 2019, but it's not dated.

Definitely not! It's the one that's aged the best from the original Fame era.

The song is basic and boring and just sounds so OLD and of its time now.

oop for me yes

i remember at the time it being the single from the album i stanned the most and was over the moon when we got a music vid and promo for it.. but since then it's the song i've rarely ever gone back to and will skip if it's on shuffle. still a nice song but compared to the rest of her discography nothing rly special.

I don’t think it has tbh.

It would probably be more like a top 20 in today’s charts rather than a long running top 5 but I don’t think it’s aged.

Just Dance I think has aged the most of any Gaga single.
