Posted by: AshDeluxe 19th April 2008, 05:59 PM
This has to be a hit absolutely everywhere! An absolutely fantastic mixture of RnB, Dance and Pop. It features Colby O'Donis and Akon. There is no official video yet, but you can listen to it here:

----------
Clue: Lady GaGa, a big star this past couple of years. She doesn't always work by herself though, she's had another massive number one single with someone else....

Posted by: Jack 23rd May 2008, 11:50 AM
It's getting a UK release in August. It should be huge I imagine, I could see it being one of this years summer anthems!

I f***ING LOVE THIS b**ch!
I am buying her album RIGHT when it comes out, I downloaded the Just Dance EP about a mopnth ago...AMAZING. I haven't liked someone this much since Britney Spears. 
Posted by: perfecto 16th July 2008, 04:45 PM
what a great great track, a superior pop trackl!! its got so much going on to hold your attention. its a mix of electro pop, disco with a retro 80s feel. all blending perfectly together! a feel good thumping track to dance too. i really hope this gets the recognition and sales it deserves in the US. she sounds part christna aguilera part gwen stefani like their cooler fresher younger sister.
Posted by: Ozmead 16th July 2008, 06:50 PM
adore this song I love her rap towards the end and the electro trip oozes in!
She reminds me of an 80's Madonna but (lets be honest) with a stronger voice.

Are you talking about the bit where she goes "I'm psychotic synchypnotic..." and so on? 'Tis my favourite part of the song.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th July 2008, 09:21 PM
I do quite like it, brilliant video too.
Posted by: Ozmead 17th July 2008, 08:25 AM
YES. Its the best part. The key change comes as such a surprise. The structure of the song is amazing.
Posted by: Dannyboy 17th July 2008, 10:21 AM
Ozmead got me into this song and its f***ing amazing. Total tune of the summer
Posted by: Tyler 18th July 2008, 04:54 AM
Indeed. Very original stuff.
Posted by: col89 21st July 2008, 07:09 PM
Amazing song.
I LOVE the ending too!
Posted by: myfunkodyssey 23rd July 2008, 06:54 AM
she's performing on So You Think You Can Dance July 31st 
hopefully Colby goes w/ her to perform his part live so it isn't cut like it usually is 
GaGa domination
Posted by: Tyler 23rd July 2008, 03:42 PM
She performed this on Miss Universe! She sounds pretty damn good live!
The performance is in intervals to go along with the pageant so she performs in the beginning, @ 4:45, and around 8:25. I believe. I commend her on being able to do simple dance moves with those heels on, but I seriously love this woman. <3
Posted by: Mikăl™ 23rd July 2008, 04:06 PM
The performance is fierce
Posted by: Jark 23rd July 2008, 04:11 PM
I have an outfit just like that in my wardrobe, might slip it on
Posted by: Mikal™ 23rd July 2008, 04:13 PM
You cant cos I found it and took it for myself SORRY 
Posted by: Jark 23rd July 2008, 04:13 PM
Why would you do that when you knew it was my favourite outfit 
Posted by: Tyler 23rd July 2008, 04:39 PM
EVEN HOTTER THEN JUST DANCE = Boys Boys Boys
Posted by: Jark 23rd July 2008, 04:58 PM
Boys Boys Boys is excellent. 
Very 80s pop-gold type thing!
Posted by: Mikal™ 23rd July 2008, 08:48 PM
Official cover apparently
Posted by: Jack 23rd July 2008, 08:50 PM
I bum that.
I really hope she gets a release in the UK soon. It sounds like something that would do MUCH better over here than it would in the US tbh ...
Posted by: Music Maniac 24th July 2008, 02:33 AM
Didn't know what to think of it at first but now I love it!
Posted by: Silver Rocket 24th July 2008, 01:08 PM
She sounds even better live than on the studio recording, that is an achievement.
'Boys Boys Boys' is really good as well.
Posted by: Ozmead 1st August 2008, 09:14 AM
AHHHHH!
So yesterday she performed on "So you think you can dance" and it was amazing. Bar a few problems with her microphone she is such a performer. When watching it you feel like your watching Madonna back in the 80's but with an 08 twist. Her intro is 
1 Just Dance Lady GaGa
2 Beautiful Dirty Rich
3 Love Game
4 Boys Boys Boys
5 Nothing I Can Say
6 Brown Eyes
7 Paparazzi
8 The Fame
9 Poker Face
10 Dirty Ice Cream
11 Rock Show
12 Wonderful
13 Disco Heaven
14 Again Again
Posted by: Jark 1st August 2008, 09:30 AM
That album cover is so dreadful! 
So tacky and fanmade-looking. And the tracklist is slightly lazy; some of the songs like Again Again have been around for 3 years now. In fact it consists entirely of songs already leaked...
Posted by: Jark 1st August 2008, 09:36 AM
But I forgive her because that performance was ALL KINDS of amazing. Wow.
Posted by: Mikal™ 1st August 2008, 10:23 AM
That performance = AMAZING

It reminds me slightly of Gwen Staffani's "sweet escape" album cover but much better!
As for the track list, I do agree. Half of the songs have been floating online for ages now.
Posted by: BJBB JonieWonie 1st August 2008, 12:54 PM
Loving the performance shame about the microphone
Posted by: Tyler 1st August 2008, 06:18 PM
Lady Gaga is my new obsession
1.Britney Spears
2.Lady Gaga
BEST THING SINCE.
Posted by: Jack 1st August 2008, 07:15 PM
I haven't heard like nine of those songs personally 
I can't wait for it though, I love the album cover too personally.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 1st August 2008, 07:23 PM
I've been loving this more than ever today for some reason.
I may buy her album.
Posted by: Ozmead 1st August 2008, 08:01 PM

Posted by: Callum24 12th September 2008, 10:43 PM
I've been waiting ages to get the album now, I ordered it about 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't came 
Apparently Lady GaGa arrives in the UK tomorrow, to promote Just Dance. I hope it's released soon, anyone know when the release date is? Must be soon if she's promoting it.
Posted by: Trashlexis 13th September 2008, 01:59 PM
Release isn't until January sadly...
Posted by: Jark 25th September 2008, 11:21 PM
I seriously adore the Kardinal Offishall remix now - better than the original?! Perhaps not but after playing the original so much this is a gloriously refreshing change. The beat is just...immense. Crazyhot. I quite want to sex it.
Posted by: Ethereal 28th September 2008, 01:23 PM
Performance in Sweden:
She was great. The audience sucked though.
Posted by: Mikal™ 28th September 2008, 01:36 PM
Amazing live vocal/performance
But the crowd did suck maja bum
Posted by: Jake 2nd November 2008, 04:07 PM
Lady GaGa Just Dance
The Fame
Polydor
January 12 // http://www.myspace.com/ladygaga
I thought a proper thread for this song was necessary. Especially now as it has a UK release date and what not. Sleeper Christmas hit plx?
Posted by: Mikal™ 2nd November 2008, 04:14 PM
If the release date changes again I'm giving up LOL
Posted by: Marty 2nd November 2008, 04:23 PM
This is ridicuolous. At first, this was the release date for the album, and Just Dance was supposed to be released in December!
Posted by: Mikal™ 2nd November 2008, 06:38 PM
Are we actually the last country to get this song?
Posted by: Lukuzz 2nd November 2008, 06:45 PM
I NEED this album! haha
Posted by: Silver Rocket 2nd November 2008, 06:49 PM
I can't wait for this, and to buy the album. I'll get that on it's first day of release.
Posted by: Jack 3rd November 2008, 12:41 PM
This is starting to take the p*** now But hopefully it'll stick now. I can see it being quite the hit now it's released in a quiet time of the year, if it gets Radio 1 support then I could see it having a Basshunter 'Now You're Gone' kind of success?
Posted by: Mikal™ 4th November 2008, 02:21 PM
New remixes & a new cover

I love this song! Her album is really good. They're saying she's the new Madonna - we'll see.
Posted by: The 411. 7th November 2008, 09:45 PM
Whilst everyone else has been loving this for months, i've only really just got into it. I hope this realese date sticks now though.
Posted by: Slick 7th November 2008, 09:48 PM
This song charted, peaked and left my chart already... hurry up and release it here 
Posted by: Harve 8th November 2008, 07:58 PM
As we are with a lot of songs... don't know why.
Its not as if the label will not release it here anyway, if its been such a success everywhere else (i assume it has, its really catchy)
Posted by: Marty 9th November 2008, 08:54 AM
I think this will do incredible in the UK, and I hope Poker Face does too.
Posted by: Jake 12th November 2008, 12:30 AM
Radio 1 are playing this...
Posted by: Jack 12th November 2008, 12:42 AM
^ YAY. Big hit here we come.
Posted by: Tyler 12th November 2008, 03:17 AM
Christina responds to being compared to Lady Gaga
What did you say to those on the Internet who are hinting that you borrowed Lady Gaga’s look?
You know, that’s funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure. I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/musi...inutes-wi.html
Posted by: TomKay 12th November 2008, 11:43 AM
She did not just say that 
Anyway, love this song. Haven't heard it on radio or out yet though. I think it'll be a top 10 hit here but I think we've left it a bit late to catch the wave of the other countries it's had success in, so I don't think number one's going to happen.
Posted by: Ethereal 12th November 2008, 06:16 PM
Don't know if it's a man or woman? Wtf?! 
Posted by: The 411. 12th November 2008, 08:20 PM
Silly Christina. Lady GaGa, Lady?
Good to see R1 playing this, hopefully they'll playlist it closer to the realese.
Posted by: Addy! 14th November 2008, 08:40 PM
lol at Xtina...what a bimbo!!
and she thinks that a dude wants to be like her and uses her image and on stage with a catwoman wardrobe.
Posted by: Music Maniac 14th November 2008, 10:23 PM
This is finally starting to take off at radio in the U.S. I don't know why it had to take this long...
I think this definitely deserves to do well in the UK!
Posted by: gooddelta 15th November 2008, 06:40 PM
I can't see this being anything less than a massive UK No.1 in January...
Posted by: The 411. 15th November 2008, 06:44 PM
I think you may well be right, i definatly see this being nothing less than a hit now.
Posted by: Lukuzz 17th November 2008, 06:58 PM
I really want Love Game to be released I think its one of the best songs I've ever heard, although this is probably my 2nd best on the album!
Posted by: Marty 18th November 2008, 05:45 PM
According to Amazon, The Fame will be released January 26th. 
Posted by: The 411. 25th November 2008, 03:44 PM
Just to let you know, it has noe been added to the music channels. I saw it this morning.
Posted by: thegaga 26th November 2008, 07:31 PM
Really? Yesss!! I've been waiting 5 months for it to finally be added on over here! I'm so happy
Hope Paparazzi and LoveGame get a release soon, but apparently "The Fame" is the third single?
Posted by: Jark 26th November 2008, 07:33 PM
Yep, it is. Foul choice.
UK fans listen up!
Looking for a decent bet on a tasty new pop starlet for 2009? Then look no further than Lady GaGa.
Already a chart topper across America, Europe and beyond, Lady GaGa is coming to the UK. Her debut album The Fame and its electro-dancefloor-riot lead single Just Dance land on these shores in early 2009, and she has just been confirmed as the support act for Pussycat Dolls on their UK and Ireland arena dates in January and February 2009. The tour starts in Aberdeen on 18 January, takes in two dates at London's O2 Arena on 27 and 28 January, and ends in Liverpool on 6 February 2009.
The full dates 2009 are:
18 Jan 2009 - AECC Aberdeen
19 Jan 2009 - SECC Glasgow
21 Jan 2009 - Newcastle Arena Newcastle
22 Jan 2009 - NIA Birmingham
24 Jan 2009 - Nottingham Arena Nottingham
25 Jan 2009 - BIC Bournemouth
27 Jan 2009 - O2 Arena London
28 Jan 2009 - O2 Arena London
29 Jan 2009 - MEN Arena Manchester
30 Jan 2009 - Cardiff Arena Cardiff
1 Feb 2009 - O2 Dublin
3 Feb 2009 - Kings Hall, Belfast
5 Feb 2009 - Sheffield Arena Sheffield
6 Feb 2009 - Liverpool Arena Liverpool
"We're very excited to have Lady GaGa as a special guest on this tour," say Pussycat Dolls. "She is a fresh face, creative, talented and exciting and we can't wait so see the fans dancing to her songs each night."

I wish they'd realese Papparazzi, much better than The Fame.
Great news about the PCD tour, will be a great help to her in the UK.
Posted by: Nightcrawler 28th November 2008, 11:09 PM
Just saw Just Dance for the first time on the Box today! So pleased it's getting played - it was number 3 on 4music's daily top 10 which is amazing considering it's not released till January!
Can't believe she's supporting PCD I so wanted to go to their concert too!
Posted by: Silver Rocket 28th November 2008, 11:19 PM
She must release 'Love Game'. Sooooo good!
Posted by: Jark 28th November 2008, 11:31 PM
No, she must NEVER. That'd be an utterly horrific waste of a single.
Posted by: f1mad 28th November 2008, 11:44 PM
Oh no,
It's not anywhere near the best on the album.
Love Just Dance atm, it kinda grew on me very rapidly, rather like Up did.
Can't wait for the Uk version of the album, I'd quite like Again Again to be a single
Posted by: Lukuzz 29th November 2008, 09:25 AM
Sooooo good!I agree, best on the album!!
Posted by: Jake 2nd December 2008, 08:08 AM
03 on iTunes Video Chart...
Posted by: Harve 2nd December 2008, 10:58 AM
If this sold over 400,000, maybe even 500,000 next year i wouldn't be at all surprised...
Posted by: Marty 8th December 2008, 06:02 PM

Lady GaGa: The Future of Pop? // The Times
Even in the OTT insanity that is Las Vegas, Lady GaGa stands out a mile. Dressed in a Thierry Mugler-inspired black rubber dress adorned with gold origami pyramids, stupendously long false eyelashes, crystal-encrusted sunglasses and impossibly high heels, she cuts quite a figure as she wanders past the agog gamblers. “This is just how I am all the time,” she shrugs, oblivious to the attention as she prepares to perform at the wonderfully ostentatious Mirage hotel. “You’ll never see me in flip-flops and a T-shirt.”
The surreal city is the perfect setting for a GaGa gig. The Italian-American singer is a perplexing, somewhat camp combination of brash, bright and slightly strange. “It’s the future of pop music,” she insists of tracks such as the excellent new single, Just Dance. Surrounded by four male dancers and brandishing a glow-in-the-dark disco stick, she gamely stagedives into her adoring audience, which tonight includes the R&B superstar Ne-Yo.
Having seen her perform in both Los Angeles and London earlier this year, I can say that her spirited showmanship isn’t reserved only for the bright lights of Sin City. She is just as enthralling at all of her shows, regardless of location. “Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show,” she says of her impressive stage set. “I don’t give a f*** about money. What am I going to do with a condo and a car? I can’t drive.”
In combining music, fashion, art and technology, Lady GaGa evokes Madonna when she was good, Gwen Stefani circa Hollaback Girl, Kylie 2001 or Grace Jones right now. “My art is my whole life,” she says of her “digital age”, multimedia approach to artistry. As well as touring with huge moveable screens that display myriad images, GaGa uploads self-made documentaries to MySpace: “I’ve taken something decidedly commercial and made it interesting.”
Her debut album, The Fame, is indeed just that. Written and co-produced by GaGa, it’s a fantastic mix of Bowie-esque ballads, dramatic, Queen-inspired midtempo numbers and synth-based dance tracks that poke fun at celebrity-chasing rich kids. It’s entertaining, incredibly witty and, above all, captivating.
“I’m defying all of the preconceptions we have of pop artists,” says the 22-year-old with a penchant for Chanel, Gareth Pugh and Marni. “I’m very into fashion — I channel Versace in everything I do. Donatella is my muse in so many ways: she’s iconic and powerful, yet people throw darts at her. She’s definitely provocative, and I channel that more so than anything else.”
There are a lot of other figures being “channelled”, though. Her stage name is a nod to Queen’s Radio Ga Ga, while her ideology is Warholian in essence. She works with a collective called the Haus of GaGa, who collaborate with their muse on clothing, stage sets and sounds. “In this industry, you get a lot of stylists and producers thrown at you, but this is my own creative team, modelled on Warhol’s Factory. Everyone is under 26 and we do everything together.” The point of her pop music, she adds, isn’t merely to entertain, but to provoke response and discussion. “How do I make pop, commercial art be taken as seriously as fine art? That’s what Warhol did,” she says, sipping a green tea an hour before show time. “How do I make music and performances that are thought-provoking, fresh and future? We decide what’s good and, if the ideas are powerful enough, we can convince the world that it’s great.”
GaGa’s success is far from overnight, but after she made a career out of songwriting for other acts, the buzz about her is starting to build. Currently No 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 with Just Dance, she is also the recent recipient of a Grammy nomination. In the UK, she has been tipped in the influential BBC Sound of 2009 poll. If all goes according to her pop masterplan, she is set to be a huge act next year. “I’m filling an enormous hole. There’s a wide-open space for a female with big balls to fill,” the classically trained pianist announces. “I’m here to make great music and inspire people.”
It’s not only GaGa herself and music- industry insiders who are excited. The influential American gossip blogger Perez Hilton predicts she will be “massive” in 2009: “She makes good music, it’s pop with substance. She’s the real deal, the total package.” Another fan is the fashion designer Henry Holland. “Her music is pure, brilliant pop, and I love the fact that she has such an iconic look,” he says. “It’s not very often that someone comes along and looks different and individual . . . I think that’s exciting and inspiring.”
GaGa is apparently already influencing other artists, with numerous blogs gleefully pointing out the similarity of Christina Aguilera’s styling, hair and make-up in recent months. “I’m not sure who this person is, to be honest,” Aguilera sniffed when asked whether she was a fan. “I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.” GaGa, for her part, is unbothered by the backbiting.
“I think she’s very talented and, anyway, look at me: I might as well be a gay man. When I hear comments like that, I’m like, ‘She’s dead on’, because she saw the Warhol in me. Of course it bears a resemblance, but nobody can copy me, because I can’t be copied.”
Lady GaGa is loath to give her real name, insisting friends and family refer to her only by her stage name (“When I make love, they say GaGa”), but some digging reveals she was born Stefani Joanne Germanotta on the Upper West Side (“I am New York, I’m a hustler, I ate dust since I was 15 and I kept going even when I was told no”).
She attended the private Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart, whose alumni include the Hilton sisters and Caroline Kennedy. Contrary to popular belief, the song Beautiful, Dirty, Rich isn’t about her former classmate Paris Hilton. “I never saw those girls for more than 10 seconds down the hallways.” Yet it seems the school has had some part in her transformation from fitted blazers to Balenciaga shoes: “I was the arty girl, the theatre chick. I dressed differently and I came from a different social class from the other girls. I was more of an average schoolgirl with a cork.”
That cork eventually popped when she graduated from NYU, where she had studied art. Her entrepreneur father was, unsurprisingly, shocked when his daughter ran off to the Lower East Side to dabble in drugs and appear in burlesque shows at dive bars with drag queens and go-go dancers. “He couldn’t look at me for a few months,” she admits of her early experimentations. “I was in leather thongs, so it was hard for him — he just didn’t understand. But my parents saw me getting better, and now my father cries when he sees me perform.”
The drugs disappeared around the same time as her act began to take serious shape. “I had a scary experience one night and thought I might die,” GaGa remembers. “I woke up, but it helped me become the person I am. I see things in quite a fragmented, psychotic manner, which I think is because of that. But I decided it was more important to become a centred, critical thinker. That was more powerful than the drug itself.”
Refining her act in downtown Manhattan, she signed to Def Jam at the age of 19, but was dropped shortly after. “It just wasn’t for them,” she says nonchalantly. She was spotted a couple of years later by the music executive Vincent Herbert and signed to Interscope in January 2008. Impressed by her ear for melody and knack for spotting a great hook, various acts — Akon’s Konvict label, as well as Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls, Britney and New Kids on the Block — have hired her as a songwriter.
Now, though, her music is surpassing those she provided hits for. With plenty of hype surrounding GaGa, only time will tell whether she will take over planet pop — or fizzle without trace. Either way, there’s no doubt she is currently the genre’s most interesting proposition. “If people think GaGa is over the top and decadent now, I’m afraid for them, they have no idea what’s to come,” she laughs, contemplating her future. “I eat, sleep, breathe and bleed every inch of my work. I’d absolutely die if I couldn’t be an artist.”

I'm really loving this song at the moment. It's so catchy, It's just made my chart. The intro reminds me of Afraid from Nelly Furtado. I think it'll do really good because she's got that whole weird look going on which will get a few people interested

I'm absolutely in love with the latter atm. 
Posted by: Martin™ 23rd December 2008, 01:47 PM
I have a feeling that this will go to #1 for about 2 weeks, but I think Poker Face will have longer.

I don't think Poker face will be incredibly successful tbh...
Same station?
What an awful station.
Posted by: David 23rd December 2008, 02:46 PM
I reckon Poker Face will do well too... #1 in Australia for four (?) weeks, gone to #1 in New Zealand and Canada too and is doing well across Europe too. Of course, that doesn't always translate to how well something will do in the UK (La Tortura for example!) but I still reckon it'll go top five here.

One question. Is the Colby O Donis miles slower than the non Colby O Donis version cause everytime I see the video, JD seems as slow as a Gabriella song but the version on my local radio station is miles faster (non Colby version). The slow version is completely gross and I hate the JD video gosh Poker Face is leaps better if you compare it to Colby and that video. .

Fabulous performance!
GaGa's on the Sunday Night Project in a fortnight too!
Posted by: Jake 5th January 2009, 12:30 AM
The Ellen performance is okay. I don't like this new "cocaine dress" styled GaGa. I prefered her more mysterious headscarves and sunglasses look. Also the new dancers are a bit poo and the whole picking her up thing in the second verse looks somewhat clumsy. Best part of the Ellen performance = "How ya doin' Ellen?".
The NRJ performance is one of my favourites:
That and the 'So You Think You Can Dance?' one...
Posted by: Aidan 6th January 2009, 02:08 PM
#1 in midweeks with sales of 19k yesterday. At the moment it's 7k in front of #2.
This is a very strong contender for my #1 this week. I don't know who to pick.

Yeah, I reckon the album might perform similarly to how it did in the USA to start with. The single has only just got here and there doesn't seem to be much promo, I don't know if people will be convinced to buy a whole album from her after one single. I hope her album performs more like Adele's than Estelle's.

Posted by: Joao Filipe 10th January 2009, 03:02 PM
The singer, whose single 'Just Dance' will reportedly knock Burke's 'Hallelujah' from the number one spot this week, claimed that her ascension in the music business is more valid than that of a reality show winner.
"If you win a TV show and you have a hit record, you sort of have a false understanding of what it means to earn success," she told The Sun.
"The shows are set up for a winner, for someone to win. Whereas with someone like me, who writes my own songs, you have to set yourself up to win."
Well said IMO.
Posted by: thisispop 10th January 2009, 04:34 PM
Having listened to the album via Spotify I think it is the best pop album I've listened to since Britney Spears Blackout album. It is stocked full of future hit singles.

The SNP performance was rubbish. Bland. What happened to the interesting intros and proper use of the glasses? The headscarves and latex? She's so in your face, average pop star now. Her performances aren't interesting anymore. Tis a shame.

The 'Just Dance' Spoof...
Posted by: Tom Kay 19th January 2009, 12:22 AM
The parody was brilliant. Just Dance was a decent performance. I think she was bound by space a little bit. But her wearing the glasses at all, and her playing (well, miming) of the keyboard means she's not the ordinary, run of the mill popstar. I've been discussing with my BF whether or not she's the new Madonna (I think she's too savvy and stylised at this stage of her career)...

She can't use the glasses on every performance, especially when there are time restraints on most TV shows. She doesn't have to wear headscarves and latex all the time to be interesting either. I haven't seen any average pop stars wearing outfits remotely like hers. I'm confused too, do you think she wasn't 'in your face' before?
Posted by: Medicated Soap 19th January 2009, 09:29 AM
Easily the best live performance she's ever done.

The disco stick seems to have disappeared as well LOL
The headscarves/shoulderpads/latex thing was interesting and striking though. It added a sense of mystery to her and set her a part from her contemporaries. Also the image worked well with the music. She seems to have given up dancing now as well, there are bits of choreography bit it's all a bit half-arsed. She's always gone on about her theatrical philosophy to live performance so to see that disappear into the barrels of the generic is sad. I'm assuming she's just very bored of performing 'Just Dance' for the 10,000th time. Bring on the 'Poker Face' performance and some fresh ideas.

Das war fantastich! I mean, that was incredible! I think the glasses are most interesting when they're used as little video screens to be honest, they must be quite heavy to wear during a whole performance. Sadly it seems like the song has kind of flopped in Germany (peaked at 15).

She's not gonna wear the same things all the time though. I like the crystal dresses and also think they set her apart from her contemporaries.
Posted by: perfecto 19th January 2009, 11:58 AM
she is definately mixing it up, recently she has been holding a mic which doesn't give her the freedom to really dance and go for it with both arms. anyway if i was to tweak it i would have her early red hood look with a fixed head mic and dark shades, with the intro music she had on Rove wearing the screen specs and include the talking she did on SYTYCD "Pop Music Will Never Be Low Brow". C4 have no clue about editing, they missed the skirt rip and T4 was a mess. there is a lot going on in her performance so you don't need fast cuts and swooping camera angles

Posted by: Aidan 14th February 2009, 08:19 AM
But I hope the clothes-dodging star’s skimpy outfit includes wellies because this year’s bash has a Glastonbury theme.
The Just Dance chart-topper has beaten a host of sexy female stars to take to the stage with electro-pop duo NEIL TENNANT and CHRIS LOWE, who are picking up the Outstanding Contribution gong at the show.
Originally GIRLS ALOUD were going to sex-up the pop veterans’ medley.
But they have now been given their own slot so the job falls to the more-than-capable New Yorker GaGa.
She will sing on Nothing Has Been Proved — the 1989 hit produced by Tennant and Lowe and sung by DUSTY SPRINGFIELD.
The song is about 1963 political sex scandal the Profumo Affair, which blew up after minister John Profumo had a fling with showgirl CHRISTINE KEELER.
And a Brits insider said: “It is going to be the raunchiest show the Brits has ever seen.
“The organisers wanted a female singer who would really shock to sing this track about the Keeler sex scandal.
“GaGa is the girl. She will be perfect. Don’t expect many clothes.” Another sexy American, KATY PERRY, will be among the stars giving out awards at London’s Earls Court. But the theme for the show will be very English — based on legendary Somerset festival Glastonbury.
The set will have a pyramid shape — like Glasto’s iconic stage — and will be filled with farm animals and other props more likely to be seen in the countryside than at a glamorous London award show.
Presenters JAMES CORDEN and MATHEW HORNE — fronting the ceremony with KYLIE MINOGUE — will jump from a caravan to host the event.
With ESTELLE, THE TING TINGS, TAKE THAT, COLDPLAY, KINGS OF LEON and U2 also performing, it promises to be one of the best Brits yet.
And I reckon we’ll be talking about GaGa’s outfit until the cows come home.

I think Poker Face needs to be moved forward as I want it to go top 5, Although Number 1 would be brillant

The Fame is at #4 in midweeks, despite falling to #13 last week.
Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 17th February 2009, 02:54 PM
And Poker Face is top 20
Posted by: Aidan 20th February 2009, 07:00 PM
Just Dance is at #2 and Poker Face is #16 in the Almost Saturday Chart.

I love Lady GaGa....she is the new madonna!!
Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 20th February 2009, 09:36 PM
By the way, is this not the best performance of Just Dance you ever saw?
Posted by: Tom Numa Kay 20th February 2009, 09:38 PM
Sorry I'll try that again...

Finally found that edit without Colby O'Donis I've been raving about.
What's so weird is that I never heard the Colby O'Donis version until the music video came out late last year, so for months I thought it was only a version with just GaGa because that was the edit released for airplay here in South Africa in like May last year.
Anyways it's the HCCR Bamboosa remix, a masterpiece. Prefer it by miles over the original <3 Lots of cut out verses, much much more faster and no screaming Colby and Akon in the background

Performance on Dancing With The Stars-
One of my fav JD performances
Posted by: Aidan 20th May 2009, 09:29 AM
One of the best performances for the song.
Posted by: Ethereal 20th May 2009, 11:32 AM
Loved it. Not feeling the hair and annoying audience again.

Ouch quite a drop ;o would've preferred it to mimic it's epic US chart run so hopefuly it will rebound and stick out for 40 weeks or so.. But the sales and peak in the end say more than a long chart run so I'm not too bothered, great to see it still doing well

I prefer her hair long.
Posted by: Eternal 13th June 2009, 07:21 PM
Yeah, I agree.
Posted by: Bibliotheque 13th June 2009, 07:25 PM
Basically as each 'hair era' passes I want them back more and more.

GaGa performing at the Marc Jacobs Fashion Show After Party where she was also hanging out with apparent new bff, Madonna. Acoustic of Just Dance is extraordinary and her outfit exquisite. ♥

LMFAO! How the hell did Mika and Dizzee Rascal get nominated?
They are two of the WORST videos of 2009 I haven't seen the other 2 videos, so I hope she wins this awars
Posted by: RyanJL 17th September 2009, 01:49 PM
Indeed. Flabbergasted at Mikas nomination. Creepiest/worst video of the year it wins hands down.
Posted by: Mwa Kath Mwa 17th September 2009, 04:08 PM
Could this possibly top it?
By far the best Just Dance remix I've heard thus far, 7 immense minutes of heaven. Just hearing this is enough to brainwash my mind with tipsyness.
Posted by: danielGaGa 11th March 2011, 08:11 PM
Same station?
What an awful station. Sorry to bump an old thread but I just find it funny that people said PF would only go top 5 and not be successful, looking back. If I could go back in time and tell people of Buzzjack that PF will go on to sell a million I bet you'd think wtf?JD and PF will always be great songs

It is nearly 10 years since 'Just Dance' come out,
The song that introduced us to Lady GaGa and featured Colby O'Donis, this was co-written by rapper Akon and was produced by RedOne. This was a #1 in the UK, US and in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands.
What are your views on this now?
Posted by: Jordan Lee 27th December 2018, 01:25 PM
Not one of her best songs for me.
BUT it’s special in the sense that it turned her into a star, gave her a #1 and changed her life.
She’s definitely topped this numerous times since though.
I actually think it’s the one Gaga single what could’ve been sung by someone else (aside from the opening line when she literally says Gaga) it doesn’t have that typical Gaga feel tracks like Poker Face and Bad Romance had.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th December 2018, 04:16 PM
I feel like 'Telephone' very much fits into that category.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 27th December 2018, 06:50 PM
It’s funny you say that because that’s my second least fave single of hers! And it’s not just because Beyoncé who I’m not a fan of in the slightest is on the track. I see what you mean by that comment. Telephone has an iconic video though which is why I rank it higher than Just Dance.
Posted by: StayatHaus* 8th April 2020, 09:13 AM
Happy 12th birthday to the OG single!
How do you feel about the single today?
Posted by: StupidLove 8th April 2020, 10:21 AM
How do you feel about the single today?
LOVE IT! Instant classic for me still and brings back so many memories of being a child and getting into Gaga at such a young age.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th April 2020, 10:25 AM
A classic for sure
One she’s bettered many times since but I still have a love for it and i really love watching the video back too looking at what happened as a result of this to get her to where she is now.
I didn’t hear this until much later in 2008 but from around November of that year I was obsessed
Posted by: davidas 8th April 2020, 10:26 AM
Still one of my faves of hers!
Posted by: Jade 8th April 2020, 02:57 PM
Happy birthday 'Just Dance' today I found an old 2009 UK chart online where 'Poker Face' was at its 3rd week at #1, 'The Fame' had climbed back to #1 in the albums and 'Just Dance' was still riding high in the top 15! Ahhh the memories of being a stan during that crazily successful era
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th April 2020, 03:54 PM
So crazy looking back through this thread and all the memories!
Whatever happened to Colby O'Donis though? I literally never heard his name ever again after this.
Posted by: Jαsє 8th April 2020, 04:03 PM
A very underrated song within the fanbase tbh!
Posted by: Jαsє 8th April 2020, 04:05 PM
...and little did we know how huge she'd actually become
Posted by: SKOB 8th April 2020, 04:56 PM
This is still a fun little bop! Her early performances were a joy to watch - I dunno if she enjoys performing this anymore that much though
Posted by: Jαsє 8th April 2020, 06:02 PM
It's the song which started it all for her so I'd imagine this will hold a special place in her heart
Posted by: StayatHaus* 8th April 2020, 06:04 PM
My thoughts too! When she enters at the start of the music video: HISTORY WAS MADE.
I still really like the song, particularly how many different sections it has. A full listen is an experience. It's obviously been bettered since, but I still love it
Posted by: StayatHaus* 8th April 2020, 06:04 PM
ALSO I love that the message of her first ever release was just dance and that's the exact same message she is sending out now with Chromatica - dance and music can heal. IT'S GONNA BE OK <3
Posted by: SKOB 8th April 2020, 06:14 PM
YES that is true!!
LMAO at those video noms at Q Awards
Posted by: Hauspital* 9th April 2020, 01:14 PM
That changed with Poker Face obvs
!
viral hit!
