Bad Kids higher than Electric Chapel?!?!

 

The latter has cemented itself as my favourite Gaga song. So intense as you said Bal, that instrumentation is EVERYTHING *.*

'You & I' being the lowest ranked single here ;o 'Applause' next please :).

 

YES LOTTI the 'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)' tour opener was everything. Really elevated the song in my affections and I totally adore it now <3 'Starstruck' is fabulous too <3

Enigma popstar is fun, she wear burqa for fashion

 

 

31. LoveGame 7.1250

32. Speechless 7.0781

33. Aura 7.0625

34. The Fame 7.0000

35. I Want Your Love 7.0000

 

 

Next out is a cover of Chic's I Want Your Love as part of a campaign for Tom Ford. I don't really know the original or her version well and i'm actually shocked it made it this high! I don't think it had anywhere near a full set of voters so I suppose those that do know it, are quite fond of it ;o With the same score we lose the title track for her debut album The Fame. It sums up the album wonderfully, both in terms of sound and lyrical subject matter. Still a jam ~ The first song we heard from ARTPOP. Aura is next. I must say when I first heard the ~Burqa~ demo it got me SO excited for the new era. It was frenzied, frantic and incredibly Gaga. I think I still prefer the demo version, but the souped up album version is a wonderful album opener and quite a daring bit of subject matter to cover.

 

The song that she forced down our throats throughout the Monster campaign Speechless falls out - it's a lovely ballad but one of the weak links on the album. Very tender subject matter (written to persuade her father to undergo heart surgery) and exploring Gaga's fear of death, it is a very powerful song and did give rise to many wonderful live performances. Finally, before we reach the top 30, the second single drops out and this time it's Lovegame. I have such fond memories of this song and while I adored the first few singles, I think it was this that made me into a full blown GAGA STAN at the time. It still sounds incredible and I will never understand some of the mixed reactions it gets. Fantastic video too - has Gaga looked sexier than she does in it?

 

The first ALBUM is coming next :o What could it be...

Also surprised I Want Your Love made it that high! (it is fab tho) :o

 

YESSS SPEECHLESS LIVE :wub:

 

 

(this one is my fav ofc)

 

The Fame and LoveGame also incredible songs (although I once nearly crashed my car listening to LoveGame, as Lindsey had put it on a playlist for me and the sirens at the start scared me whilst going round a bend :mellow: )

 

Aura :heart: :heart: This song is super crazy and therefore appeals to me B-)

'Aura' is my favourite out of those, such an eccentric track, love it. 'The Fame' is one of my least favourite Gaga songs. It just doesn't appeal to me on a sonic level or any other level, really. It can be fun to listen to sometimes though.
speechless is the second best song from fame monster

 

 

PREACH LERRR!!!

 

For me it's like 4 after 1. BR (of course), 2. Monster, 3. Teeth. 4. Speechless.

Speechless is soooo much better than bland fan fave Dance in the Dark.

 

:mellow:

 

Speechless is a BORE, disappointed it beat out Aura amongst others.

'Speechless' is incredible :wub: that performance that Lotti posted is my favourite Gaga performance that I've seen. ;_; beautiful <333
:mellow:

Nope it's raw power!

'Highway Unicorn (Road 2 Love)' was ALWAYS a highlight from BTW for me! When GaGa does pure pop, very few can match up to her. I've just watched that video of the opener for the tour (after so many people raving about it), but it's only left me thinking "is that it?" :lol: It lends itself so much more to just sat on a mechanical horse walking around the stage... :(

Half psychotic, sick hypnotic

 

 

 

07. The Remix 5.2727

 

The first album to drop out is the first remix album produced by Gaga. The Remix contains uptempo and downtempo reworkings of the songs on her debut album and 'The Fame Monster'and included a star-studded line-up of artists eager to remix her tracks. It's quite an exhausting listen to go through it all but there are a fair few gems scattered across it.

 

Commercially, the album was a huge success reaching the top 10 in many markets and currently ranks as the 7th most successful remix album of all time :o It built on the success of early Lady Gaga and cemented the era's position as one of the most successful and influential from a female pop star. Still, we do not seem to remember it too fondly as it plumps out in last place, probably due to the fact that the songs that have been remixed are much better in original form and partly because it's not really one that offers too much replay value. Is it the right album to drop out first?

I listened to 'The Remix' for the first time in preparation for my rate (I just really want to avoid blanks if possible). I enjoyed it actually, but I agree that it was a bit exhausting to sit through it all. I think I did prefer it to the 'Born This Way' remix one, but I wasn't paying as much attention to that one when listening so with some more listens that could change :kink:

29. Boys, Boys, Boys 7.2167

30. Til It Happens to You 7.2000

 

Okay now we've hit the top 30 we're going to be drawing this out a bit!

 

At 30 is Til It Happens to You, which was written with Diane Warren. This features on the film The Hunting Ground and is a strong, powerful ballad aimed at survivors of sexual assault. Of course, this song is also nominated for an Oscar (which it SO rightfully deserves), and has been subject recently to some accusations (:eyes: @ linda perry x) over whether Gaga actually wrote the song, which she later backtracked and apologised for.

 

Then we have another from The Fame, Boys, Boys, Boys! This song is undeniably catchy :kink:

The release of The Remix completely swept past me (the days of not being on social media :')) and I saw it in HMV when I was out shopping and was like :o ! I listened to it a few times when I first got it, but haven't really ever gone back to it :kink: HOWEVER, the Pokerface acoustic on there is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, and was my favourite! (Especially because I first became a Gaga fan due to an acoustic Poker Face performance!) So I did listen to that quite a bit :wub:
