I'm not a big popular music guy. In fact, I more or less hate most of the crap the radio plays.

But there is something really catchy about this song.

1. I usually despise pop music, but Paparazzi and Poker Face are two of my current fave workout songs.

3. I like the video because it has Alexander Skarsgård in the beginning of it...
although he plays a bit of a dick. But I still have a megcrush on the guy!

I've got a really cute bit of choreography for my kids to do to it this year. :)

5. Surprisingly, I really like her music.
:)

When GrayWarrior posted a link to one of her songs I listened, liked it, and checked out a few more. I liked all of them so I checked out her channel on YouTube.

It's rare that I like all of someone's music. There is only one of her songs that I don't really like a lot, and even that one is pretty good.

18. Peace....if you apologize for slurring transgendered people.
Not that she is, but calling her a "beast" is beneath you. Whether you like her or not, or her music, there is no reason for that crap.

19. I'm not slurring transgendered people; I'm slurring shitmeisters
I'm just of the opinion that Gaga looks remarkably like a rawboned man, thus the "beast" reference.
Sorry for the confusion, but outrage is in the ire of the beholder, isn't it?

23. Fine. I'll let it go.
However, while I can understand coming into a thread about some topic or other to criticize or even put down something someone else likes, I don't understand why you need to put somebody down about their looks. It's gone nothing to do with anything.

28. She looks like a rawboned guy...
I never said that she was a transvestite nor transgendered. I don't think she is either.

A word of advice: You may find it more ultimately rewarding to develop a complex personality
rather than just embrace a ready made identity.

34. is asshole a complex personality? because from your posts, not just on this
subject, thats all i have ever seen

a queer feminist indian US immigrant identity is far more complex than a nativist asshole identity, which i have seen you display a million times.

36. Opposition to the outsourcing of American jobs to Bangahole or wherever...
is not a nativist position.
You can't just shoehorn definitions, dear.

I never said that she was a transvestite nor transgendered. I don't think she is either.

It is a bit more difficult to debunk the fact that she does indeed look remarkably like a rawboned guy.
That's not bigotry, but just aesthetics.

20. I've got a friend who's a huge fan...
It's a Sicilian sisterhood thing.

So I checked it out and tripped when Erik Northman showed up to throw her from the balcony.

31. still does nothing for me. she gives me a Tori Spelling "daddy make me a star" feeling.
quite hollow in its fabrication for my tastes and for some reason foisted upon us from the four winds. literally inescapable, just like Limp Bizkit was at one time.

since i begrudgingly gave backhanded props about Limp Bizkit last time to take away that "essence of rebellion" from them among my friends (i said they had great pop vocal harmonies in their refrains) -- and thus hopefully ended their popularity that microcosmic bit sooner -- let me do the same for Lady Gaga: she has an excellently crafted disposable-commercial visual image, with a sound engineered to suit.

a pity, because i love good pop and dance music. but maybe she'll pull a Pink and surprise me by getting a better songwriter, sound engineer to refashion her image into a more lasting mode.

32. The thing is, I don't disagree with you. But I really love that fucking song.
Friend of mine told me she actually admired Gaga because she actually worked hard to make it. I don't know anything about her though...for the most part, sounds like pre-packaged stuff to me. But that one song...I don't know...I just feel it. And really, only the one song.

37. One person's "something really catchy" is another's ad nauseum repetition.
My favorite Lady Gag quote: "When I'm writing music, I'm thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage."
