Think "Bad Romance" but a bit of a better song structure. This is sort of track that because it's by Lady GaGa it will be a huge success, if it had someone else's name on it would possibly sink without trace. The tons of vocal effects drown the singing. I'd like to hear how well she can really sing.

 

She can sing really well, in real life. I don't mind vocal effects in songs. Infact, I approve of them. If an artist feels that a vocal effect will make the song better, they should always use it.

 

I agree with you though. I don't like Judas, but I think it's better than Bad Romance, albeit very similar to it.

^Well, I think I preferred Born This Way, because it was refreshing to see Lady Gaga do something different.

 

I dunno, I want her to release something that shocks everybody. Something that has an effect like Boom Boom Pow, Pass Out, Like a G6, etc. Something where people go "Wow! That's a really weird song. I totally wasn't expecting that, but I love it!".

 

It is Lady Gaga. She is one of the most weird people in pop music at the moment, yet her music is probably the most ordinary out there (apart from maybe Taio Cruz, but even he had Dirty Picture).

Lady GaGa expresses her weirdness enough through her lyrics, music videos and costumes. :P

Yeah, definitely. :lol: But I wouldn't have any of her songs on my mp3 player (well, I have the instrumental to Alejandro on there at the moment, and a mash-up of OMG and Telephone, but that's it). Her music videos and constumes don't make the songs any better tbh.

I wouldn't say her music is 'ordinary', you must be living under a rock if you've never heard of Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Katy Perry. Even Rihanna's music is more 'ordinary' than GaGa's - GaGa is original and 'weird' in a good way, even if Judas sounds like Bad Romance which it does it is still original. When was the last time a pop star sang about religion etc. must have been a long time ago

Britney, Ke$ha, Katy Perry and Rihanna are definitely NOT more ordinary than Lady Gaga. Well, Britney, maybe, but certainly not the other three.

 

Lady Gaga would never be do songs like these (unfortunately):

 

 

Compared with these, which just seems SO ordinary and boring (and all extremely similar to each other), it's actually painful for me. :(

 

Lady GaGa has a 'style', something that all music artist have of course she won't be doing the same intrumentals as Katy, Rihanna and Ke$ha because she's original and has her own style.

 

Katy Perry and Ke$ha used the same instrumental for their hit singles California Gurls and Tik Tok which makes them unoriginal and boring - no one has ever dared touched GaGa's instrumentals however. I'm beginning to sound like a loon :drama:

Don't worry. :D

 

You're right. Ke$ha, Katy Perry and Britney Spears all share the same producers, to a large extent, so they do end up with similar songs (e.g. Tik Tok vs. California Gurls, Hold it Against Me vs. Take It Off, Blow vs. Till the World Ends, etc.). Rihanna uses different producers to the others more, but she still has songs that sound like other songs (e.g. S&M vs. Sexy Chick).

 

The closest I've heard to a Lady Gaga instrumental on another artist is probably Poison by Nicole Scherzinger and Mirrors by Natalia Kills.

 

All that said though, Lady Gaga instrumentals do sound a lot like some older songs. Most notably Alejandro, Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Dance in the Dark.

 

But I think the main difference here is that you've got a lot of Lady Gaga's songs sounding similar to her other own songs, which with the other artists, you've got their songs sounding similar to songs by different artists. Like Blah Blah Blah vs. Your Love is My Drug, S&M vs. California King Bed, Firework vs. E.T.. They're all considerably different, whilst I can't really say the same if I look at Paparazzi vs. Bad Romance, for example.

I think you used an unfair example on Gaga's part. For one I don't even think Paparazzi and Bad Romance are similar but you took songs from the other three artists that are most notably different... what about Bad Romance vs. Speechless? Eh Eh vs. LoveGame?

 

I like it when artists have a distinctive style, so you can listen to a Ke$ha instrumental and tell that it's a Ke$ha record, same for Gaga. But with Rihanna and Katy they don't really have a particular sound which I guess could be looked at as a good or a bad thing, but it doesn't really bother me.

 

I know what I mean :P

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. :D
