I knew it!! Though I was temped a lot of times, I'm really glad I haven't bought the album yet!

Urghh what a mood kill.. Another Rihanna GGGB-esque era.. Don't think I'll bother buying this. A new follow-up album would've been so much better, her fans will probably get the impression she's now out for only commercial success and not doing something new or different/something true to herself..

 

Milking an era annoys the $h!t out of me, the focus is supposed to be on the album, not the singles. Now there'll probably end up somewhat 8 or 9 singles after the Deluxe Edition? That's just not the point. GaGa has too much talent to just live off "The Fame" =/ I really hope this gets called-off though and the 2nd album does come into closer consideration ..

^ The focus is the album, more singles = more album sales, deluxe = more album sales

 

Anyway it's not going to be just a few tracks added like some re-releases, she said lots of new material.

^ Then she might as well do a few more new material and compile it into a new studio album. It's as if she's sponging off this era and like she's too afraid to release a whole new album incase it doesn't live up to this.. It's a bit Leona/Rihanna copycatish but anyway hopefuly the new songs yield some no.1s and boost the album to go 2x Platinum in both the US and UK - I get your point there, just my preference was to have a whole new album and era. .

Yeah I get your point and tbh I want both, a re-release with a whole new disc and 2 singles late this year/early spring then next summer a new album B)

 

Also, someone pointed this out on ATRL - poor xtina :rofl:

I'll probably buy it.

I definitely will. :P

Lady Gaga Speaks: Re-Release Of 'The Fame' + Her hair is real.

I'm not planning on releasing a new album until next year, but I shall do a re-release of the same this year with a lot of brand new music.

 

I've been performing since I was very young, I've always been a singer and performer but I used to work as a waitress, a go-go dancer and I performance art shows in New York City.

 

I have short hair now and every bit of it is my real hair. When I wear hair sculptures it's extensions, but if you see me with my bob, it's all my real hair.

 

There were two people I really wanted to collaborate with, and I just did! Everyone will know soon.

 

I always knew how to play piano. Piano is an instrument learned over a period of time but they say once you're good at it, it never leaves you. It's a good hobby to have - you never lose it

Oo interesting! Wonder who the two people she worked with are!

Hmmm. Will probably end up getting this too. It seems silly though, if there is going to be so many new tracks/ a second disc, at what point is it more like a new album anyway? It could be like Doll Domination: The Mini album (with all her previous singles) simply tacked on to effectively a whole new album. Hopefully she'll take this chance to chop off the last quarter of the fame and replace it with tracks of the standard of the first quarter!

I wonder if she'll remove all the un-useable tracks from The Fame and replace them with new ones, a la Kelly Rowland's Ms Kelly: Deluxe re-release.

GaGa's confirmed in a conference in Singapore that the title for the Deluxe Edition will be entitled "The Fame: The Monster". =o

That's an interesting title. I wonder what's going to be so monstrous about it. Maybe the Love Game thing with Marilyn Manson will be included on this edition?

the fact that they'll be around 20+ tracks maybe?

The Fame The Monster sounds a little silly even if it does have that amount of tracks on it. I'd prefer something else as its title but not this title.

i like it, so gaga, so random

Damn! I bought it the other day. I KNEW there was a reason I shouldn't have! :arrr:
