Album Description:
When Lady GaGa was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.
It's no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady GaGa.
"I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I'm a ham today," says Lady GaGa, 22, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song "Beautiful Dirty Rich," and wild, theatrical, and often tongue-in-cheek "shock art" performances where GaGa - who designs and makes many of her stage outfits -- would strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose as a disco ball lowered from the ceiling to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange.
"I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three," says GaGa, who nicked her name from Queen's song "Radio Gaga" and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. "I look at those artists as icons in art. It's not just about the music. It's about the performance, the attitude, the look; it's everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish."
That goal might seem lofty, but consider the artist: GaGa is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs such as New York's the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady GaGa has earned the right to reach for the sky.
Album Description:
2008 debut album from the New York singer. On The Fame, it's as if Gaga took two parts Dance-Pop, one part Electro-Pop, and one part Rock with a splash of Disco and burlesque and generously poured it into the figurative martini glasses of the world in an effort to get everyone drunk with her Fame. 'The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous,' she explains. 'Pop culture is art. It doesn't make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it's a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.'

Great CD, a few songs better than others, but can't complain about any of them. Love it!

I can't stop listening to this CD. This is an upbeat 'just for fun' CD by a very talented new artist. Just Dance is making the airwaves, however, every song on this CD is good from Summerboy to Poker Face to Paparazzi. She's writing for others, currently touring with (and MUCH better than) the Pussycat Dolls. I can't wait for her BIG break so we get to hear more music from this new star. She WILL make it.

I really like the song "Just Dance", but I think I was expecting too much from this CD. I was a little disappointed in a couple songs because its a bit over the top and stupid, for example "Paparazzi". I think this CD is more for the club, but I was hoping for a more unique sound. I occasionally listen to it, but I am not crazy about it.

Lady Gaga crept up on the modern music scene much like a stealthy predator, sure of its prey's inability to sense or to predict it. She let herself be seen a few times as an unassuming and docile beast, something to be comfortable around. She even let herself be heard, her calls and cries as far from threatening as possible.
But that was before she pounced.
"Just Dance" isn't groundbreaking. It is a carefree dive into the pop-dance pool, a watering hole that Rihanna, Chris Brown, and the Pussycat Dolls frequent often. Lady Gaga took a sip, and found she enjoyed the refreshing taste. It wasn't much, but it was enough. She found a territory she could call her own, a place to dominate.
The Fame, Stefani Germanotta's debut album as her hyper-reality persona, Lady Gaga, had been advertised through banners and magazines for months before its October '08 release. Advertisements that didn't feature a solid release date, instead acting as true hype generators. Personally, ... Read More
