Love Game will probably be 4th, and then hopefully Starstruck 5th

To all you guys craving a GaGa forum... she WILL get one if she manages to stay the course and is consistent, heck, she's grown on me too.... Sure, it seems like she'll stay the distance because she has definite cross-over appeal that a good many in this genre lack (which is why those acts end up falling by the wayside fairly rapidly), but personally I dont believe that an act merits a forum with only one album to their credit...
And yeah, I do understand those who'll cite Leona Lewis or The Saturdays and will feel somewhat aggrieved, but I dont believe that they should've got theirs either personally.....

IMO it should be about demand and not how many albums or how long they've been around. There is a clear demand for a GaGa forum and it would get used a lot. It's not difficult to remove forums and if she does disappear than that can easily be done. That should have happened a long time ago for forums like Lucie Silvas for example.

Also Garbage (who have now split up..), Evanescence (who seem to be in the wilderness atm...), Darius, The Libertines, Razorlight, Natasha Beddingfield.....
If we pruned that lot, then we could maybe talk about a forum for Lady GaGa.....

Why? Shouldn't Buzzjack cater to the members? Why have an empty Garbage forum which nobody posts in and then a Pop forum clogged up with about 8 GaGa/Leona/Sats threads? There is just no logic at all and it's so petty IMO. I think the whole AF system should be more fluid and match the times.
Posted by: Bert for Lashes 7th April 2009, 12:20 PM

I wanted 'LoveGame' more, but I guess 'Paparazzi' is less similar to the first two singles. I have to admit it's grown on me immensely, the chorus is just irresistable.
Posted by: Bibliotheque 7th April 2009, 05:21 PM
Starstruck should really be the 3rd US single, she needs to smash Xtinas record and imo Starstruck will definately get the 3rd #1 for her. The tracks been in the top 200 download chart ever since the albums release and also Flo is massive there.
Posted by: NexxTom Kay 7th April 2009, 05:32 PM
Flo isn't on the album version of Starstruck is he?

Posted by: Bibliotheque 7th April 2009, 07:10 PM
He is, he's the rapper on it.
Tbh this is how I'd do her singles:
1st - JD 2nd - PF 3rd Europe - BDR 3rd N America - Starstruck 3rd Oceania - Eh Eh 4th - Paparazzi 5th - LoveGame Possible 6th - Money Honey or Boys Boys Boys or maybe no 6th and replace Eh Eh with one of these two
I just think it would have worked. How would you guys of done the singles?
Posted by: Ethereal 7th April 2009, 07:57 PM
I would have done the same single order everywhere, don't see the point changing it for different territories.
1. Just Dance 2. Poker Face 3. Paparazzi 4. LoveGame 5. Eh Eh 6. Money Honey (if there was a sixth)
Posted by: Aidan 7th April 2009, 08:01 PM
Here's how I would like the singles, but like Ethereal, I'm keeping them for the same territories.
1. Just Dance 2. Poker Face 3. Starstruck 4. LoveGame 5. Paparazzi 6. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (if a sixth will be released)
Posted by: Bibliotheque 7th April 2009, 08:06 PM
I did different territories different 3rd singles because I think Starstruck is suited perfectly to N America and wouldn't do as well here but BDR would do well in Europe but I fear it would flop in N America.

Casting Notice
Project Name: LADY GAGA Project Type: Music Video Format: Rate/Compensation: see roles
Message:
Hello One and All, I am working on this video for Lady GAGA with the Jonas Akerlund, rates are not great but it's a very small cast all lead and feature roles no big extras driven stuff. Thanks much
Role Role Type Gender/Age/Ethnicities Description/Note GAGA'S BOYFRIEND Lead Male / 25 to 35 / Caucasian, Multi-Ethnic Our main hero guy should be really good looking but with a dark side... A bit of a bad boy... A young Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 weeks. Must be a real good actor as there is lots of acting scenes with GAGA and her guy with some dialogue. Lot's of sex appeal with a mix of danger, mystery and a bit dirty -needs to be good looking but more importantly he needs that special leading man quality. Leading guys like Colin Farrell, Viggo Mortensen are a good example of the vibe we are looking for. Gaga's admirer Lead Male / 18 to 28 / Caucasian, Multi-Ethnic Good looking in the opposite of the Hero guys, more of the white horse night in shiny armor. So tall and beautiful like prince charming. Female Hero's (3) Lead Female / 18 to 25 / All Ethnicities High fashion models to play GAGA's best friends. Beautiful as well as sexy with that high fashion edge. Girls need to be comfortable shooting in lingerie on set. Party Friends (10) Featured Male or Female / 18 to 28 / All Ethnicities Looking for edgy sexy fashion forward people. Must must have charisma a bit of sultry unapproachable fabulous aura, decadence. Think studio 54 party or a Bruce Weber Helmet Newton model party. Swat Team (6) Featured Male / 22 to 40 / All Ethnicities Need swat team, six guys that are in great physical shape. Paparazzi Featured Male or Female / 25 to 45 / All Ethnicities Need aggressive paparazzi types.

Looks like it's next then

Oh yes I do agree with that. Starstruck is perfect for Urban radio in the US. I don't think it should be released anywhere else though personally. It's not one of my favourites and I find it very repetitive and bland.
I'm still stunned that Fashion didn't make the album to be honest. It was recorded with RedOne when she did JD, PF, MH, LG etc and she decided not to put it on when I think it's stronger than a lot of the songs on the album.

From what I've read she recorded her version but decided she didn't want it for her album so Heidi recorded it. But it was GaGa's version which went on the soundtrack.

System of a Down, for example, have been on "hiatus" since about 2005, and in the meantime both the lead singer and guitarist have put out albums playing with different bands....

It's def one of the "Nine" off the album that I really like.... There's a good deal of humour, knowing sarcasm and irony in the lyrics.... It's GaGa's sharp sense of irony and wit that sets her FAR above the rest of the mainstream pop herd in '09..... God, I'd never thought that I could ever find a #1 best selling artiste to get behind, but then, she's far from being a manufactured act or a Reality TV puppet....
She is officially in my "Cool Book", a smart, talented and sassy "diva"....

I have to stress the version that I downloaded had 13 tracks, so I haven't even heard Disco Heaven or Starstruck....

It's my 2nd favourite off the album. It's such an underrated song along with I Like It Rough.. Both have the most insane beats, genius lyrics and yet both show GaGa's more personal side.. Paper Gangsta ftw, tbh. My faves atm look like this 1 - Poker Face / Paparazzi 2 - Paper Gangsta 3 - I Like It Rough 4 - Boys Boys Boys 5 - Money Honey I tend to skip Just Dance cause of Colby O Donis but listen to the edit that doesnt have him featured on instead on my ipod..

CHART-topper LADY GAGA has axed her next single because it’s too RUDE.
The sex mad singer, 23 — whose first two singles and album hit No1 — was due to release LoveGame in the UK.
But the song’s raunchy lyrics, including “I want to take a ride on your disco stick”, got the video banned in Australia last week.
Now Poker Face singer GaGa — real name Stefani Germanotta — fears the song could scupper her chances of a third UK No1 — so will release Paparazzi instead.
A source said: “For your first two UK singles to go to No1 is amazing and we would like to try and carry that on.”
that's from the sun/ultimate-ladygaga

The report is right, but Poker Face still had some lyrics like that but made #1 for 3 weeks.

I guess 'Bluffin with my muffin' is a bit out there but considering the 'disco stick' reference is continually used throughout LoveGame...I can see why some people would have an issue with that.
I however certainly do not

Just because it has been confirmed as the third single, doesn't mean she will perform it when she comes over here.
Posted by: Kathh · 11th April 2009, 11:47 PM
'LoveGame' is hideously overrated, its great but nothing compared to 'I Like It Rough', 'Paper Gangsta', 'Boys' etc. This whole single schedule is so disorganised, its annoying, if they already release LoveGame 3rd in Canada then it should be the international 3rd single but whatever.
'Paparazzi' WILL be major, and is by miles a better choice than LG. And Starstruck or I Like It Rough should be the 4th single, so its more varied in sound..

I Like It Rough is terrible and Paper Gangsta is nice but bland IMO.
Posted by: Sinful 12th April 2009, 01:10 AM
I think what would have really helped 'Paper Gangster' is a third verse where there is a really long and unnecessary instrumental right before the final chorus. I just love the verses of that song

How can people not like 'I Like It Rough'. .? It's the song with her best vocals on the whole album, she actually really sings well on it and her voice isnt synthesized or anything. And the song as a whole is a complete retro dance masterpiece, it'd even be a no.1 contender if it was released imo.. LoveGame on the other hand, like Jonjo is 'OK'.. I hardly get through half the song without skipping it because I only find the ending of the song worth listening to.. Its really slow as well, and the beat is a bit flat. And I doubt a lot of the public would buy it on first listen cause it is hardly catchy. But thats just my opinion.

Lady GaGa has scrapped plans to release 'LoveGame' as her third UK single, according to a report.
The video for the track was banned in Australia earlier this week due to concerns over its suggestive lyrics, which include: "I want to take a ride on your disco stick".
The American singer has reportedly decided that a similar row in the UK could ruin her chances of scoring a third number one. According to The Sun, she will now release 'Paparazzi' instead.
An insider told the newspaper: "For your first two UK singles to go to number one is amazing and we would like to try and carry that on."
GaGa's debut single 'Just Dance' topped the UK singles chart in January, while her next offering 'Poker Face' followed suit last month.
Her album The Fame also recently topped the UK albums chart for the first time.

How? It's one of THE best songs I've heard in ages tbh. It grabs your attention right from the start and it doesnt rely on a catchy chorus but catchy verses. Her vocals are plain amazing on it, I wouldnt say that she was vocally as amazing on anything else but 'I Like It Rough'. ILIR would be MASSIVE, it certainly does live up to its title, even more. LoveGame and Eh Eh as singles are jokes, because the songs are sort of meant as jokes which definitely strikes a notch down in their quality, where with ILIR its the complete opposite. I really don't see anything else on the album besides ILIR and Starstruck (which is one my least favourites on the album) topping a chart or making a good single..

why? Uhm can you people elaborate on your opinions. .? Noones exactly said how ILIR is a weak single, and I'm pretty sure if Just Dance and Poker Face werent singles a bunch of y'all would say they would be weak singles also..lol WELL, that's my opinion but I have really different and eccentric music taste, I honestly cant stand a bland album track being on the radio, choosing something else like Love Game is like U2 choosing Get On Your Boots over Magnificent, really. For 4th single I'd rate it like this:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| I Like It Rough ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Starstruck ||||||||||||||||||||||||| BDR, Money Honey, Paper Gangsta, Summer Boy |||||||||||||||||||| Boys Boys Boys, The Fame |||||||||| Brown Eyes, Disco Heaven | Eh Eh, Love Game And that's more on what I think would make a better single than which are my favourites .. She's had such perfect single choices with PF, JD and Paparazzi..messing it up with Love Game and Eh Eh is just tragic AND especially for the immense 'I Like It Rough'

Well seeing how Radio 1 have played Paparazzi twice in the last 18 hours (Sunday night's Switch show & this morning Huw Stevens sitting in for Jo Whiley) I have to disagree; as it suggests the record company are already shifting their focus away from a second single that has already peaked in the charts.
With Lady GaGa arriving in the country next week to do promotion I would not be surprised if she does not perform Paparazzi instead of Poker Face on the likes of the Paul O'Grady show as further promo for the album The Flame.

That's not what I said, lol.. I was talking about the singles themselves, not the promo. Poker Face won't just drop out of the chart or drop in popularity, its definitely going to be hugely popular for a long period of time, like 'Just Dance'.. Great if the promo is starting for Paparazzi but PF was no.1 just a week ago, the public aren't going to switch as quickly from a song that's so hyped at the moment to the next..

I do still think she'll promote PF unless the video gets finished today and all edited, polished etc by the end of the week. It seems unlikely though since she's only just peaked on airplay and the physical is only released today. I think it'll be late May before attention shifts to Paparazzi, which, by the way I love but don't think will do any where near as good as the formers.
Posted by: Xylem 13th April 2009, 02:37 PM
well obviously, 3rd singles rarely do as well as the first two, especially since the album has done so well
Posted by: Ms Keri's Baby 13th April 2009, 03:14 PM
I'm pretty sure Paparazzi is going to explode. It'll be like Fergie in Amerie, 5 top 5 singles. The album's barely done Gold there so there's plenty of scope for it to be a smash, and I think it'll be a top 3 here too. It's more of the same isn't it? And the public seem to love it, so...

Yeah, but it took a few weeks before it actually picked up.. And like Xylem said its a 3rd single and I don't think we can put a finger on how well it will do, the PF/JD switch really doesnt apply to Paparazzi, but the promo will tell I prefer it to the first two singles so hopefully it is the big success that it deserves to be

I love Paparazzi but I do think they should release Love Game as 4th. I was a bit disappointed to hear that she didn't wanna release it in case the UK thought it rude. To be honest the more radio 1 edit songs, the more publicity the songs seem to get and the better they do. I actually think Love Game is one of my favourites on the album so I really hope they release it.
At the moment it looks like we are getting one, there are 43 votes so far and we need 65...

There is no source which is why I used the word "apparent". It keeps being added to Wikipedia (the release date for the video) but is constantly being removed. It's just a rumour at the moment though. I personally think that it would be too early because PF will still be top 5.

According to the Audition requirements sent to one of the fan sites, the bits and pieces involve a hot looking boyfriend, a charming hero, and a few party friends. So it's likely going to be an argument/break-up with her boyfriend and then she probably goes out partying her blues away and then falls inlove with the admirer (paparazzi). Pretty exciting, and woop at the set pics - looks like another perfect and authentic video is on its way. Yay <3

Major drama, make that Drama, on the set of Lada Gaga’s new video shoot Monday. It all unfolded on location at a Bel-Air estate as she made out with male triplets appearing in the new vid. That was in the script. What wasn’t in the script was her new boyfriend walking in and flipping out, RadarOnline.com learned.
The triplets, from the Sweedish band “Snake of Eden” were picked by GaGa to get physical and make out with her. Very entertaining for all — except Mr. GaGa who arrived late to the shoot and got angry, very, very angry!
“He started yelling at her,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. Not satisfied with screaming at her on the set he followed her into a makeup room and kept berating her.
Then he turned his anger on the triplets and said: “You guys are a bunch of fags. Are you happy now? Did you get what you want?”

I think LoveGame has more of a chance at getting number 1 than Paparazzi
Posted by: Kathh · 19th April 2009, 02:39 PM
^ Love Game is like a follow on to what Poker Face sounds like, a no.1 I think would need mass appeal and tbh LG isn't that appealing to do so well immediately after PF. 'Paparazzi' is something different to the market atm and shows a different side/sound of GaGa than what they saw with Just Dance and PF. Ultimately I'd say Starstruck is her best bet on 3rd no.1 even though I prefer other album tracks over it, it's the only song that has no.1 written all over it. Paparazzi would have a great chance at the top 5 though where I see LoveGame's hype going down quickly because of its similarities in sound from her previous singles, and then probably just scraping the top 10 or peaking in the top 20. But it is pretty popular in Canada (re-entered their top ten this week) but the hype in Australia is already dying down (stalling on iTunes after peaking at 11) which is not a good sign.. Paparazzi is fresh in other words, it's going to get more airplay than sales where Love Game will get less airplay which means less sales. Perfect single choice if you ask me.

According to a Lady GaGa site, this is getting a release on June 1st in the UK.
Posted by: Crowan 22nd April 2009, 01:42 PM
June 1st?? Thats so soon....Poker Face is only just out properly!! Does anyone else get the feeling that they are rushing through this era rather fast? It should be released early July at the earliest i think. That means Lovegame can be released around late october/november time to capitalise on xmas sales
Posted by: RyRy 22nd April 2009, 01:57 PM
I'd have held off until middle-late June then time it for the festival appearances.
But its just a rumour really, nothing confirmed
Posted by: Steve69 22nd April 2009, 04:34 PM
she did say she wants to release music as quick as possible because she want to release loads of singles off this album, i think it's perfect cause it's already climbing on itunes and hopefully we will get a forth single around August/September. Whoop can't wait.

Mainly because it isn't exactly like the other songs on the album at all, if the rest of the album was identical to PF then obviously the rest of the album will be miles behind but the other songs have different beats, catch lines and concepts which are appreciated differently. If you just appreciate a catchy song then obviously you will appreciate PF, because it's mainly catchy but if you broaden your musical appreciation sense a bit you'd find there is much more to Lady GaGa than just "Poker Face" .. PF is brilliant but the longer I've had the album the more I've appreciated other songs over it, surely "The Fame" isn't just "Poker Face", there's plenty on the album that is equally good and sometimes even better than the commercialised catchyness of PF ....

No add date as of yet, still. =o Although it's been shot AGES ago, they must be editing to perfection non? Looking forward, involves: "GaGa having a break-up and then a happy ending - falling inlove/getting down n dirty with her admirer/stalker (paparazzi)" <3
Posted by: Aidan 14th May 2009, 05:40 AM
It needs to come out soon, otherwise it will just fall down the charts.
Posted by: Conor 16th May 2009, 11:53 AM
I wish the video of this would hurry up and appear, 'Papparazzi' is one of my favourites on the album so i hope its a big success. She should release 'The Fame/Boys Boys Boys' as a Double A-Side for the next single, though i think im one of very few fans of 'The Fame' the song.
Posted by: Et Cetera 17th May 2009, 06:33 PM
i cant see paparazzi making the uk top 10 i can see it ending up with a number 11 peak
Posted by: Crowan 18th May 2009, 11:32 AM
I predict the number 4-6 region....but the album will benefit enormously
Posted by: Bibliotheque 18th May 2009, 03:56 PM
Why is everyone worried about Paparazzi? It's ok if it falls back down charts now because it isn't recieving Airplay/TV Play, Poker Face is still hot and getting all the attention so I imagine Interscope are waiting a few weeks for that to fall before Paparazzi's release.
Once the vid is out it'll get high rotation and hopefully Radio will stop with Poker Face and start spinning Paparazzi so it should all work out fine and GaGa will be able to do some promo here when she tours here and plays at some festivals in the summer.
Posted by: Just Being Kath 18th May 2009, 07:45 PM
Agree with Bibliotheque.. The promotion schedule for it is spot-on. Easily top 3/5 imo. It's the typical sleeper hit, like JD was in the US. So once the promotion gets in full force she's bound to be huge with this.. And deservedly so, one of the best on the album and there's just no way GaGa will have two hits from this era, "I think it will reach #11" is a bit of a 'huh? ' opinion.. GaGa is not Girls Aloud.. She's freshly popular. Most artists who are huge on their debut get a hit with every single from their first album. When its your 7th/6th album with 2nd/3rd singles peaking unusually low it's understandable. But with GaGa it's completely different story..
Posted by: Bibliotheque 18th May 2009, 09:39 PM
Then LoveGame can be single #4 and GaGa can do an X Factor performance and completely kill it
Posted by: Aidan 19th May 2009, 05:32 PM

• Information on ‘Paparazzi’ release! Bebo.com - Lady Gaga has become a style icon with photos of her appearing in papers every single day. So it’s only appropriate that her next single be ’Paparazzi’.
The track is set to be released on 6th July and there will be some badass remixes coming with it so watch out!
WHEN I first clocked this snap, I hoped it was a mugshot of LADY GAGA being nicked for indecent exposure.
Sadly it’s just a promotional pic for her next single, Paparazzi.
And it sounds like the video to the track will raise more than a few eyebrows when it’s released.
Notorious Swedish director JONAS AKERLUND, famous for THE PRODIGY’s controversial vid for Smack My Bitch Up, is at the helm.
One of the scenes has GaGa and three brothers from US rock band SNAKE OF EDEN performing naughty antics on each other.
But Jonas drew the line when the fame-hungry Poker Face singer asked for a scene where a Princess Di-style paparazzi car chase ended in a tunnel crash.
Glad to hear someone in Lady G’s camp was happy to say something was in bad taste at last.
The singer is currently in Australia supporting the PUSSYCAT DOLLS and took time out to greet a young fan after performing in Sydney.
I hope the Princess Diana thing is just bull$h!t and she didn't really ask for that

I don't get why everyone is so omg at the Diana scene. It's not like they'd of showed anything distasteful such as her body, I imagine they'd of just shown Paparazzi chasing a car. The song is called Paparazzi you know and that's the extreme of what Paparazzi can do. Yes it's how Diana died but people die in all sorts of ways, many of which I'm sure are in music videos that no-one bats an eyelid over.
Posted by: Aidan 27th May 2009, 04:30 PM
Can't wait for the video!
Posted by: Just Being Kath 27th May 2009, 04:53 PM
The Diana thing just sounds like a malicious rumour, it's not on any of her credible fansites and I highly doubt Interscope would release a music video as controvertial as that..
Some of the hints from the audition requirements of the video give away that it's just involving GaGa, a ex boyfriend and her new to-be boyfriend, the paparazzi/her loyal admirer so it's more likely not to be as controvertial as a Diana mimic. More like just a happily ever after video with plenty of lovescenes, parties, etc as you'd expect from all her Fame era vids ..

Exactly I think Steve meant he's not a fan of how she acts in her interviews etc, the only thing I can think of to make him feel she has a "horrible" personality.. She's definitely no Paris Hilton/Lily Allen.. She signs literally every autograph thrown at her to sign to fulfil her pledge and dedication to her fans.. I guess her unique star quality and undeniably quirky originality has come across a bit overwhelming for most music lovers particularly the ones used to more perfectly conservative artists.. Where I suppose the majority of her fans think she is the exact opposite, I sure as heck think she's a stunning character.. Anything but horrible. .
Posted by: Steve69 27th May 2009, 09:05 PM
you're half right there Kath, i don't like how she acts in interviews because it's fake, i know she's very successful but i don't like her arrogance with the way she is and such. But tbh i don't really care about the people behind the music just the music and I love GaGa's music.

Erm, what's the difference.. And you were also part of it.. It's a discussion.. Is there a single thread on Buzzjack that is completely on-topic, no.. So it's really unnecessary to be bossy and the forum police and tell other people what to post about, Paparazzi, Lady GaGa it's the same thing.. What do you expect a thread full of 'Oh I love this song' 'Paparazzi is up to 35'. .?
A discussion like this could come up in any of her other threads anyway and you were also part of it, which makes this whole telling people what to post thing even more LOL. . By saying that you spun the topic off even more rather than making it more informative.. If this thread was in the Pop forum, everyone would discuss EVERYTHING Lady GaGa and not just Paparazzi, she's the artist of the song, speaking about her in a thread that regards her is hardly off-topic at all..

I almost forgot about Chillin' video! I don't expect it to be a tenth of Paparazzi midn you
Posted by: RyRy 28th May 2009, 09:53 PM
Nope I doubt it will be. I thought I had gotten back into the song but I didn't and then realised I didnt actually really like it
Just uploaded it to youtube - out of interest to see how long it lasts!

Posted by: Jake 29th May 2009, 02:45 AM
This video brings to the very forefront what GaGa represents and whether (imo) she truly does. To me it's a shining example of a video that wants to mean something but really doesn't. It's built on a bed of clichés: the silent interludes, the French speaking, the pushing from the balcony. What does it all mean exactly? What statement is she trying to create with it? It's as subtle as a breezeblock. Also Mr. Ackerland uses essentially rehashes much of his work he did on P!nk's video for 'Sober', just lacking the authenticity.
As much as I think GaGa writes a good tune I don't quite follow all this "art" and "artistry" stuff she seems so keen to push. There's no depth to it, no soul. It's trying to be serious and meaningful for the sake of it rather than to project anything and that shimmies pretty close to fake imo.

I dont really get it, like Jake said it doesn't really mean anything and she seems to be trying a bit too hard to be different with the end project just making it all look a bit dis-jointed.

The year might not yet be 5 months old, but I severely doubt I will see a better new video in 2009.
Fantastic, visually very Prince circa 1980s = way over the top, pretentious, loads of humour and fantastic choreography.

Love it. Probably over-takes Poker Face for her best video.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 29th May 2009, 09:28 PM
Yep, easily her best video to date, fantastic!
I'd say my second favourite video of the year behind P!nk's 'Please Don't Leave Me', though it may overtake with more viewings.

Posted by: Josh 31st May 2009, 09:06 AM
Meh, I think the video is stupid. Whether it's intentional or not, it's nothing but stupid, and plus she looks pretty awful in it to.
Posted by: slowdown73 31st May 2009, 12:09 PM
I have a feeling this single will struggle compared to the first two, May not even reach the top20.
Posted by: RyRy 31st May 2009, 01:09 PM
I worried, but I dont think it will struggle now.
Up a spot this week to #64. Sure once video and airplay effect kicks in it will begin moving up more.

It should be another top 5 hit for her at least.
Posted by: Nate88 2nd June 2009, 12:13 AM
its suddenly appeared at 18 on aust itunes. lovegame is now dropping (at 10 now). seems interest has shifted too paparazzi since the video leaked, pity because i thought lovegame still had a lot of time left in the top ten
Posted by: Music Maniac 2nd June 2009, 02:06 AM
It could be a huge hit just for the fact the video is fantastic. Not to mention the song is also great itself. Wow, the video was very creatively done and I could probably watch it over and over and not get bored.
Likewise with the JD and PF physicals, bar that it's a whole new line-up of remixers Filthy Dukes is quite a big name for the underground promo of the song, can't wait to here these especially after literally all the Just Dance remixes imo proved better than the original <3
I don't remember any shots on a horse or her with purple hair in the final vid.
It could be shots that weren't used for the vid.

I know , seriously a no.1 contender imo, shooting up iTunes and the video's not even been released yet etc, truly be some record if a 5th single gets to no.1. Still a bit disappointed how quickly LoveGame faded there and that mostly due to the release of Eh Eh as a 3rd and not LG, urgh. The more hits, the merrier I guess.. LG deserved so much more than just a peak of #6 but Paparazzi should compensate
Posted by: Bibliotheque 7th June 2009, 08:09 PM
Most of the songs in the top 10 in AUS are fading now and have already peaked and imo the next top 10s are Paparazzi, IDNHU, I Gotta Feeling and WLTO. Hopefully Paparazzi will ride high now that LoveGame has regained some of the buzz and momentum that Eh, Eh really lost.
Eh, Eh was such a buzz kill

Posted by: Kaтнerineי 8th June 2009, 04:14 AM
^ Correct. Those 3 weeks at number 6 just crossed my mind instead, must've missed the chart when it peaked. Psh but 4 aint too bad at all, top 5 is literally no.1 these days and atleast its already gone Gold there. Paparazzi imo will easily outpeak LG though, looking at how quickly its risen without any promo or video release etc..

as soon as Gaga said the video had 'leaked' she had it released on Sunrise last sunday morning. ever since it has raced up the itunes chart
i think its a pity the video was leaked because i thought lovegame could have hung around the top ten a little longer and maybe done what it did in canada and get a higher peak. oh well, i still could i guess but it looks, for now, that people are digging the new one..paparazzi

Posted by: Kath 13th June 2009, 08:41 PM
It's success in Canada should be a good indicator as to how well it'll fair in the US, being now the 4th single there and it currently striding up Canadian iTunes atm. Four number ones is very unlikely though, LoveGame isn't that certain for no.1 as most of us would like it to be either.

yay for pap doing so well on itunes
hopefully can grab number 1 next week...doubtful without physical release until next month. they really need to release it as physical NOW in Aust or they are risking not getting it to peak at number one.
Posted by: Kath 14th June 2009, 10:47 AM
OMG is NZ already moving onto Paparazzi as well? LG has only peaked at 12 there and is still in the top 20 and now Paparazzi's going to get in the way from it rebounding and getting a decent peak like it did in Canada. Urgh the singles releases have been extremely messy down under - Eh Eh as a 3rd was a complete waste of time and prevented LG from going to no.1 and now Paparazzi being released right in the middle of when LG's meant to be rebounding but oh well Paparazzi ftw now <3

haha yes this is true, very messy! but i think they have used it to test the market, the music industry is not very big in Australia so it doesnt really matter. eh eh didnt work here so it was not released in UK/US as third single. so they learned from that. i still have no idea why they chose to release it as a single anyway. third should have been lovegame hands down, hit number one. then paparazzi, again number one. and maybe then eh eh as a top 10 album finisher.
at least the major markets the gaga team has on track.
OMG YAY at pap being #1 on itunes. hopefully it can hold onto it. im still pissed about lovegame, it should have/would have rebounded and got that top spot or closer to it. it is just being played out in night clubs

Because Eh Eh was the 3rd single there and went top ten when she was promoting there, LoveGame entered to early while Eh Eh was still fairly big and therefore suffered from that and all the LG promotion being focused in Aus and not NZ..

Lady GaGa: 'Paparazzi'
Seemingly emerging out of nowhere and spreading to every corner of the world, Lady GaGa's fame, like swine flu, has reached pandemic levels over the past few months. In much the same way as the H1N1 virus, the 23-year-old makes lots of people hot under the collar, but with her unique "GaGa" style, she's certainly got them talking about it. Continuing on her quest to infect us all, she now returns with single number three.
Slowing down the pace and releasing a midtempo track after two massive number ones is a move that can go terribly wrong for some popstars. But 'Paparazzi' is further evidence that Lady GaGa is immune to the fate of her peers. It's a less bombastic affair than its predecessors, but thanks to a typically catchy chorus and some smart, celebrity-themed lyrics, very nearly as thrilling in the finish. Backed with a hilariously self-indulgent video, it seems GaGa still has us firmly in her clutch and, ahem, squeeling for more.

Top 10 in the UK is guaranteed this week for Paparazzi, #8 in today's midweeks and still holding strong on iTunes. Great to see it doing so well in Ireland too! I think this would be huge in Italy, doesn't the word Paparazzi originate from there? if so it is then even more reason to release it there.

#3 on iTunes and fast catching up to David/Kelly. Could go to number one in the next two/three weeks. Will definitely reach number two though in my opinion.

People.com:
In her latest music video for the single "Paparazzi," Lady Gaga plays, well, Lady Gaga: a star who shutterbugs love to follow.
So what's life like behind the cameras?
According to Kerry Rhodes, a safety for the New York Jets, who plays a policeman in the video, life pretty much imitates art. While he describes Gaga as "reserved," "focused" and "cool," he admits that the scene around her can be pretty crazy.
"The shoot was ridiculous!" he tells PEOPLE. "Everywhere you turned there was a dead body – not real! – a really big horse-looking dog, and a half-naked model, which was cool."
Rhodes explains that he knew the shoot would be "something out of the ordinary," and, of course, he's a fan of the 23-year-old star. "She’s very talented," he says. "She’s something different for music lovers to listen to."
That said, don't expect the Jets to warm up to "Pokerface" any time soon. When asked if Gaga plays in the locker room, Rhodes laughed, "Not a chance!"
Still, he'll have good stories to tell his fellow NFL players. One of his favorites: "When I was in main dressing room changing and Lady and I bumped into each other mid-change!" he exclaims, before laughing, "No, there was no funny stuff!"

It's down to #4 on iTunes due to the Michael Jackson effect. I think this could actually make #1 in 2 weeks, with La Roux this week, Michael Jackson next week, and his effect will be gone by then.

I think #4 could well be the peak for this now, but that's still very good.

Wednesday Top 40 Update
Singles
1 Cascada 28.6k 2 La Roux 22.4k 3 Michael Jackson 19.5k 4 David Guetta feat. Kelly 16.2k 5 Lady GaGa 15.1k
Not looking great at all, she should be ahead of David Guetta tomorrow but Arctic Monkeys and Chipmunk are undeservedly going to push her even more down. Wishful thinking: Chipmunk doesn't overtake her, MJ and Arctics start losing pace giving Paparazzi a position to leapfrog into 3rd which I doubt will happen but hopefuly it does!

She looks stunning with that purple hair and it makes me miss the long hair even more. They shouldn't have cut that bit out of the original vid.

It looks like the peak for the UK will be #4. I think that is still very good for a third single from a very well sold album.
Posted by: Tyler 10th July 2009, 05:02 PM
Top 4 is still amazing. has it helped the album at all?

Yeah definitely, the album did a 18-5 climb and that in one of the Michael Jackson hype weeks. Impressive stuff. I still think the top 3 isn't completely out of reach, she was #3 on iTunes the last time I checked with an ever increasing sales pace - strong enough to close in on MJ before Sunday. Hopefuly she does!
Posted by: Half-Jon-Wit 10th July 2009, 11:11 PM
It's not completely over TBH. The next few weeks seem quiet for major releases and she still seems to be gaining more popularity (If that was EVER possible)

I'm still getting over the fact someone performed LIVE on GMTV! I swear whenever I go to check artists performances on there they've been mimed most of the time
Good performance 'Paparazzi' is one of my favourite singles of the year and I really hope it has at least 'Poker Face''s longevity seeing as number 1 is pretty much out the question now She needs more promo How about This Morning, GaGa?! Or Loose Women whilst you're over here
Posted by: Get Sexy Steve69 16th July 2009, 06:23 PM
she should have done a clean sweep of all ITV daytime shows.
GMTV then LK Today then Jeremy Kyle (lol) then This Morning then ITV News At Noon then Loose Women.
then she should have gone to do The One Show.
Lol what a media blitz that would be.
Posted by: Slowpoke 16th July 2009, 08:24 PM
Looks like this could be number three next week. She should take over Cascada in the next few days and there are no big releases next week!
Posted by: Kath 16th July 2009, 09:19 PM
Ah wow, absolutely spot-on performance and interviews, she just keeps getting more experienced and better with each one she has!

I really doubt that, Cascada's sales are so far ahead even this week that I think not even BEP will be able to catch them. I only see GaGa overtaking La Roux this week which means she'll have to settle for #4 this week, once again. Like the others said she would need and should've done a lot more TV promo, GMTV was never going to be enough to get her a new peak anyway especially with her BEP curse still in full-force. .

Oh oops. Yeah your so right xD I wonder if she's around to promote next week and if Paparazzi will be able to still be on the increase until then, it should. I see it easily having a Disturbia-esque chart run/sales performance. .
Posted by: Get Sexy Steve69 19th July 2009, 10:44 AM
this is definitely going to go gold i think. So it could end up Top 10 of the year which is pretty amazing.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th July 2009, 12:58 AM
Its current uk sales including the last 7 days is 236,059 and its number 5 and im sure wit will stay top 10 for a another 2-3 weeks at the least,id say this will easily sell around 400,000 overall which would be amazing for a third single of a double platnum selling album.
Posted by: Eternal 20th July 2009, 08:31 AM
If it has quite good staying power in the top 40 for a while, I think it could reach near 500,000.

Alexander Skarsgard knows how to kiss
The 32-year-old Swedish stud Alexander Skarsgard actor is apparently a very good kisser, says Lady Gaga, who featured him in her “Paparazzi” music video.
“He was very good,” Gaga told Aftonbladet. “Alexander is very good at kissing. On-screen kisses are real kisses. I don’t know how other people do it but we were kissing for real.”

Posted by: Tyler 8th August 2009, 08:45 PM
AMAZING choice. They have done an amazing job at picking singles.
Posted by: Silly Kath 9th August 2009, 06:15 AM
I'm not sure if it's just an impact of being featured on So You Think You Can Dance or confusion about what's her next single but "Boys Boys Boys" shot up into the top 70/80s on both US and Canadian iTunes. If "Paparazzi" gets that sort of promo and full-scale promo unlike "LoveGame" I reckon this could even outpeak LG!
BTW: I think the topic title needs a bit of updating Paparazzi - 3rd UK Single/4th US Single and likewise with LoveGame's topic - 3rd US Single/4th UK Single. .

Up to #58 on US iTunes now, with a debut of #115 on Billboard, proper Hot 100 debut by next week already easily guaranteed. YAY.

It's OK. Pity she messed up the lyrics, she's got a bit of talent though and small fanbase growing here on Buzzjack so I thought I'd post this anyway
Posted by: Tyler 30th August 2009, 04:20 AM
I think this will do really well, alot of my friends that HATED her love her now because of Paparazzi. Will bring her more varied fanbase, I believe.
And Kath I think Boys Boys Boys NEEDS to be a single, but I doubt it will happen.

I think Paparazzi appeals to the more conservative pop market where PF, LG and JD were more electro dance hooks. I know Jonjo/Jark/James all prefer Paparazzi over her other releases as well so I guess it was the hit she needed to secure her long-term popularity in the industry. . BBB is the LAST thing she should ever release! It's awfulll ;o if she had room for another single choice (which she doesn't because of the re-release coming out in Nov) it should have been either I Like It Rough (H) or Starstruck but her 4 choices thus far have been perfect enough the Monster's lead single should be even more perfect. Such a long wait thoughh and she's got a $h!t load of expectations to live up to, as if she'll disappoint anyway. .

A maxi single has been confirmed on Amazon for release on September 8th. It's rumoured to be for either Germany or Canada but hopefuly both and the US will get it! The cover art:
Posted by: Tyler 30th August 2009, 04:21 PM
Love the single covers.
I think BBB would be huge as a Summer release, but it would definitely be a risk. I think that the only FOR SURE hits she has left on The Fame is Starstruck, the rest aren't near as strong in compared to what she has released so far (except for BBB IMO )
I think if she weren't to do a re-release she should release Starstruck as a 5th single, then do Paper Gangsta in the US with BBB wrapping it up in the internationally.

Up to #19 on US iTunes, should make quite a huge jump on the Hot 100 this week and she's so high already. One can only begin to imagine the effect the VMA performance will have, guaranteed top 5 methinks. Pity "LoveGame" can't equal its success it's had in the US, in the UK. But 4 consecutive top 10s in the US is definitely in the bag by the looks of things (:

Now #7 on US iTunes and #24 on Mediabase as a result from her VMA performance. Just what it needed. Also, these lurvly still shots from the music video have been floating around all over GaGa forums/fansites so I thought I might as well post them lawlz.
