Steps • Underrated single (FINAL ROUND)
Both a great songs, but I do feel that despite being a hit that 'After The Love Has Gone' is still being criminally underrated.

Tension Survivor Round 11 The Final
The Iconic 'Padam Padam', although I would also call 'Tension' iconic as well, but come on 'PP' has that special something that edges it out in front.

Club Disco ● album discussion
This a good album, but the tracklisting did need to be streamlined a bit & then it could have been a proper follow up to 'Neon Nights', while it doesn't reach the heights of that masterpiece, there was still potential here. Instead of the staggered digital release & scattered singles run, this deserved a proper physical release & remove the filler lounge mixes at the end of the album & release it in early 2006, but not sure how many of the tracks were recorded for that potential release. Limit the official single run to powerhouse tracks such as 'You Won't Forget About Me', 'Perfection', 'Feel Like I Do' or 'Love Fight', then have 'I Can't Sleep At Night' as the final single. Then have the 'The Hits & Beyond' released in late 2006 & have 'So Under Pressure' as the lead to promote then include 'Touch Me Like That' on the tracklisting & release that in early 2007. The schedule could have looked something like this: OCT '04 - 'You Won't Forget About Me' OCT '05 - 'Perfection' FEB '06 - 'Feel Like I Do' or 'Love Fight' MAR '06 - Album Release MAY '06 - 'I Can't Sleep At Night' NOV '06 - 'So Under Pressure' NOV '06 - The Hits & Beyond FEB '07 - 'Touch Me Like That' APRIL '07 - 'He's The Greatest Dancer' (Have this added to either album as a fun bonus re-release track)

Least Fave Lady Gaga Single - The Results
Well that's it guys we have officially come to the end of Lady Gaga's Fave Singles Poll. After months of voting and eliminations here are the final results below. The final battle consisted of Poker Face vs Bad Romance, both of which are stunning masterpieces of genre defining pop music that not only sound just as fresh and exciting as they were back then, but each are still just as loved and highly regarded as they were back then , marking an important milestone in the ever changing landscape of pop music. Poker Face ranks in the runner spot with just 8 votes to win in a not so close final battle, but has remained consistently popular throughout each round. The track was released in September 2008 as the 2nd single from Gaga's studio album 'The Fame' and follows in the footsteps of her previous single 'Just Dance', but with a much darker and compelling tone. The song revolves around bisexuality, and was a tribute by Gaga to her rock and roll boyfriends. Its lyrics feature various sexual innuendos. Upon being released, "Poker Face" was acclaimed by most critics, who praised the song's robotic hook and chorus. Commercially, it topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With over 14 million copies sold, "Poker Face" is one of the world's best-selling singles ever and became the best-selling single of 2009 worldwide with over 9.8 million in sales that year alone. Out of the 5 times I have done these polls starting way back in 2014, this song has finished in the runner up spot 3 times and has never ranked lower than 3rd place. Bad Romance ranks as the Winner here for the 5th time with a whopping 18 votes to win and yet again proves to be the perfect choice to cap everything off on an almighty high. A brilliantly bizarre and avant-garde pop masterpiece that forever changed the landscape of modern pop music. Released in October 2009 as the lead single from Gaga's EP 'The Fame Monster', a reissued edition of her debut album. Musically, it is an electropop, dance-pop and dark pop track with a spoken bridge and a hook featuring nonsense syllables. Inspired by German house and techno music, the song was developed as an experimental pop record. Lyrically, Gaga drew from the paranoia she experienced while on tour and wrote about her attraction to unhealthy romantic relationships. Upon release the song received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised its chorus, beat and hook. Commercially, the song was a global success, topping the record charts in more than 20 countries. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified eleven-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold 5.9 million digital downloads as of 2019. "Bad Romance" has sold 12 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was included in annual "best-of" lists of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork; the former named it one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century and 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The Full Results: Bad Romance - 18/69% Poker Face - 8/30% Abracadabra - 13/76% Alejandro - 11/44% Paparazzi - 10/41% The Edge of Glory - 8/34% Telephone - 9/40% Rain On Me - 8/12/66% Just Dance - 9/20% Born This Way - 54pts Judas - 7/56% Shallow - 9/39% Marry The Night - 8/34% Disease - 7/26% LoveGame - 6/24% Bloody Mary - 8/47% Applause - 10/38% Perfect Illusion - 8/42% Always Remember Us This Way - 6/31% Stupid Love - 7/33% Die With A Smile - 7/14% Do What U Want - 11/22% Million Reasons - 6/30% You And I - 5/27% The Cure - 6/28% G.U.Y. - 5/27% 911 - 5/13% I'll Never Love Again - 7/19% The Dead Dance - 5/23% Joanne - 5/31% Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - 6/13% Hold My Hand - 7/15% Til It Happens To You - 16/35%

Fave Lady Gaga Single - Round 27 (THE FINAL)
Welcome Buzzjack to The Grand Finale of the Lady Gaga Least Fave singles poll (although re-titled for this final round) and after many months of voting we are now finally down to the final 2. This means that Abracadabra finishes in 3rd place and gained a whopping 13 votes in the last round. This was the first time this song has ever featured in one of these polls and has exceeded expectations by not only finishing the highest out of the 6 new songs to feature here, but it has knocked many, many heavy hitters and finishes in a highly respectable position showing that Lady Gaga can still make iconic classics after more than 15 years into her career. The song was written and produced by Gaga, Andrew Watt, and Cirkut, with additional songwriting credits to members of Siouxsie and the Banshees, as it incorporates elements from their 1981 single "Spellbound". Released in February 2025 as the 2nd single from her 6th studio album Mayhem, it gained instant critical acclaim & became a massive commercial success by topping the charts in Hungary & Lithuania, as well as top 10 peaks in Austria, Brazil, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Right then guys this is it with the final 2 songs battling it out Poker Face vs Bad Romance, this time you will be voting for your Winner out of these 2 iconic tracks and the one with the most votes will be crowned your chosen winner. The closing date will be 25/08/26.
