Imo, Baby One More Time is the definitive song of the bubblegum pop era of the late nineties/early noughties and while poker face, bad romance and just dance are classics from the electropop/dancepop era we are in now, the definitive song of this era is I Gotta Feeling

 

I agree with this. IGAF was heavily advantaged when it came to it's sales though. The album it is from was not as big, and the song still receives constant airplay. Plus it got an X Factor performance at the height of it's popularity.

Yeah, I think that sums it up well.

 

Sarcastic or you agree? I really cannot tell :lol:

I agree, I definitely think she's had a cultural impact, I just don't think it's as huge as people make it out to be. There are several songs that if brought out now, people would claim ripped off Lady GaGa. Rihanna's "Disturbia" and Christina Aguilera's "Fighter" videos for example. GaGa fans would be falling about themselves, screaming copycats.

 

And thanks, it was filmed by Jay-Z. ^_^ I adore the song and was completely blown away that a person could sound like that with no microphone or anything. That's why I'm a Beyoncé loon, tbh.

 

I do agree with your points. And, yes she sounds amazing without all that, I just wished that she brought that or something similar out as the first single as Run The World doesnt do her justice, not even vocally.

 

And Eric Blob, I do infact know quite a few people that want to be Gaga in real life, but I was referring to the music industry anyway. I would say that many people have copied Gaga, but as LOVETT stated, she has more started a 'trend', within the music but most prominatly, fashion of the artists.

No seriously. I do think Britney has better songs, but I think you summed up the point me and the other people who remember Britney at her peak were trying to say. Gaga can just never become as influential and as huge as Britney was, and I think you said it well. Britney was like an icon. Lady Gaga is more of a musician.

Can you give me a list of songs that have copied Lady Gaga? I can think of maybe just one that's not produced by RedOne.

^ Hehe I only remember this idol thing because in the Korean industry, 95% of the acts there are idols and the musicians get literally 0% exposure and hence I saw the mass influence they had compared to musicians. ;)

I definitely agree. "Run the World (Girls)" has some wonderful harmonies in there, but the song in general was a poor first single and doesn't showcase her voice nearly as much as most of her other songs do. I love it, but I really wouldn't have gone with it for a first single. Though it does seem to be doing much better Worldwide, since the video came out and she performed it.

Tik Tok :yahoo:

 

I've said this on another forum into which the majority agree with some people don't but, Lady Gaga did not create dance/electro/pop music but she did certainly contributed most to the huge surge of it nowadays. After Just Dance and Poker Face (mainly this one) exploded on the charts and radio, the music industry has kind of changed. In the US for example, pop artists weren't regularly #1 (Lil Wayne and other hip hop artists stayed at #1 for years and years and years) but after since Gaga, a lot of pop songs have become #1. This isn't a huge factor but it's some of it. And now the music scene is dominated by electro/dance-pop. (Pitbull/Enrique Iglesias/Ke$ha/Britney Spears (although some argue Femme Fatale is Blackout Part II whereas I think it's far too autotuned compare to Blackout) and many more artists). Yes and even if I dare say, Rihanna too. These artists might have released dance/electro-pop songs in their past but none of it even persuaded the music industry to be dominated by this type of music nowadays.

 

Only artist who hasn't really followed the trend (mainstream) is probably Beyonce.

Edited May 26, 201114 yr by Oricon

I like Run the World a lot tbh. I think it has a very good beat (as we all know :lol:). It's different to all the dance-pop songs we've got in the charts at the moment imo.

Tik Tok :yahoo:

 

Now tell me which parts of the song sound similar:

 

 

I find it absolutely hilarious that people compare Tik Tok to Gaga, when there's a Kylie Minogue song and an Uffie song that it sounds VERY similar to. Surely Kylie and Uffie are better comparisons than, er Gaga?

Can you give me a list of songs that have copied Lady Gaga? I can think of maybe just one that's not produced by RedOne.

 

As I have said Eric, I think that the visuals and the fashion is the main thing that she has been influential in. I don't think there has been any songs that have 'copied' Gaga, as I have said in my previous posts but obvcourse she has had an influence and ever since 'Just Dance', there have been more party songs produced and more songs down that route. As I have said though, I don't think it is nearly as massive as some people are suggesting.

Ok my bad but what I meant was lyrically and the type of music. And from what I editted earlier (incase you missed it)

I agree with this then. I honestly can't see many (if any) songs that have copied Gaga (without Akon or RedOne being involved). Songs about being drunk at parties have been popular for years, so if Ke$ha writes a song about getting drunk, if you compare it to Just Dance, then by exactly the same standard there's a plethora of other songs you can compare Just Dance to.

 

Lady Gaga's influence is more about clothes and Internet domination than music imo.

I wouldn't credit Lady Gaga for dance-pop and electropop being popular. I mean, weren't Disturbia and Hot N Cold massive hits a little while before Just Dance got popular?

Edited May 26, 201114 yr by Eric_Blob

Yes but you misunderstood the statement, I meant that Gaga made the music genre popular again because literally her debut album were all electro/dance-pop and all her singles were very along the routes of that genre. Katy Perry's Hot n Cold and Disturbia were one off examples. I mean after their songs got released, it didn't really put peoples mind into releasing dance orientated music.

 

Oh and Katy Perry is another example I left out (before people start criticising me, I am a Katy Perry fan who owns both of her albums :) ). Katy Perry's debut album was majority rock-pop influenced but when it came to her sophomore album, look at the drastic change :o

CKB #18 :w00t:

Yeah 3x #31, possibly back in official top 40? :o

Run #97 :wub:

Edited May 26, 201114 yr by Karma

I want California King Bed to top 10, such a good ballad song.

 

However I think it's going to do a Hate That I Love You and that it won't go top 10 :(

Even look at the lyric in Just Dance.. 'I love this record' she says. That lyric or one similar after the use in Just Dance, has cropped up in quite a few records, even with 'I love this track' being in The Saturday's new single. That is a tiny, unimportant thing, but it is an indicator to what I am talking about.

People will refute your statement and say that Gaga is a complete rip off of what Madonna is though. :( (lyrically)

I think that's quite ridiculous really. When I think of music, I think of the actual music, not the words. But again, by using that standard, you can claim Lady Gaga has copied other artists, or that other artists have had a big impact on chart music, when they haven't really.

I was going to say that actually. It wasn't even Express Yourself, but there's another Madonna song I used to listen to where she says something like "When I was young, my mamma used to tell me", which is just so much like a line in Born This Way.

 

And the thing is, songs like Meet Me Halfway and Who's That Chick? draw a lot from Madonna, but their fans aren't constantly going on about how original the artist is, so nobody really cares. Plus, with the example of Meet Me Halfway, Fergie says in interviews that when she began writing the song when she was reminiscing about being a child at a Madonna concert. Luckily the BEPs don't have Lady Gaga's fanbase, so they're allowed to say they draw influences from other artists.

I am not saying Gaga created dance-pop and is as original as people say she is though. I am saying that since she has used the lyric, it has become more common in other pop songs, I am not saying she was the first to use it and create it or whatever :lol:

You can't be serious?

 

'I love this track/song/record/beat' is one of the most overused, cliche lyrics ever in pop music along with 'all my friends think i'm crazy", "I'm not your average/she's not your average...", "throw your hands up in the air" etc
