Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

[Indiana_James]

So Lady GaGa's new EP, The Fame Monster, hit stores yesterday in the US. We all knew GaGa fans came out in hoardes to pick it up, as did I.

A few other, "powerful women" (as stated by GaGa herself) launched their albums yesterday, most notably Adam Lambert, Shakira, Susan Boyle, and Rihanna. Who here thinks that GaGa has chance at getting the number one spot next week. I would like to think that she'll sell the most, but Susan Boyle's CD set a presell world record and will probably hit number one. And there's also Rihanna's Rated R, which will get a major boost from her 20/20 interview and the Chris Brown drama this year.

My predictions: 1. Susan Boyle 2. Lady GaGa 3. Rihanna

What are your thoughts? They could be about anything about this talented and deserving artist, from her new CD to her AMA performance.

Also, anyone disappointed by the AMAs? I knew GaGa had no shot in artist of the year catergory, but she should have won Breakthrough Artist. Who the heck is Gloriana?

She seemed to be in a somber mood throughout the night as well, even before her loss. I wonder why.

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

I love Lady GaGa! I'm a little bummed her record sales are only expected to be 200k, but Susan Boyle does deserve the spotlight and I'm sure she's glad she's even on the top 3 possibly.

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

That's a bummer, especially since she worked very hard to split the price of the EP for her fans. Although, Susan Boyle does deserve the number one spot as well. Oh, well.

BTW, did you hear that she might drop a third album, late next year? The lady is so hard working!

The Fame Monster To Sell 200,000 Copies

According to the new Billboard report, Lady GaGa's new studio album The Fame Monster is expected to sell more than 200,000 copies in its first week:
Billboard.biz – Lady Gaga and her three-pronged sales attack on consumers’ purses is also much stronger than expected. Of the new The Fame Monster deluxe edition, The Fame original version, and The Fame Monster EP, also just issued, the former two combined could sell about 150,000 units while the EP is expected to top 200,000 units.
Billboard prediction:
Susan Boyle – I Dreamed a Dream – 700k
Adam Lambert – For Your Entertainment – 225k
Lady GaGa – The Fame Monster – 200k
Rihanna – Rated R – less than 200k
Lady GaGa – The Fame + TFM Deluxe – 150k

Got this from GaGaDaily.com

These are only projected but it seems GaGa will be number two if they combine the two versions. I foresee TFM having a very long shelf life, especially after releasing Speechless and Telephone. I've heard all of Adam's and Rihanna's songs, and there are not many hits IMO, except for "Fever" on Adam's album, (which was written by GaGa).

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

Lady GaGa's Bad Romance just hit number one on the United World Chart. This means that she is number one in the world. Yay! Now the only thing that is left is the Billboard 100.

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

I know! I found out the news today! I was sooo EXCITED I can't wait for next year for her next album. It's funny! I loved LG before anyone even knew who she was and everyone thought I was crazy when I said she was gonna be the next big thing, but look whose laughing now! Still everyone thinks she's crazy, but thats exactly why I love her so! I can relate to her so much! My artistic aesthetic is almost identical to hers! My favorite songs right now for TFM are So Happy I could Die and Monster, but I keep changing I love EVERY single track on this album(except maybe Teeth, it's good, but sounds too mainstream for me).

Also I herd a reason the album is censored is because LG is trying to send a message about how America relies so heavily on censorship for the most ridiculous things! Does it really make a difference? Also noticed that she says Bit instead of just B*** so it was intentional! It just puts more meaning to her songs!

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

I bought the album on monday.

I love every song besides... Teeth.

I feel like she just had to make something quick to make it an even 8.

I try to skip it every time I listen to the CD.

And by the way, I actually did go out and by a CD. yes, they still exist.

HAHA don't worry I'm getting 3 (possibly 4) copies. I already got it on iTunes, just so I could have it ASAP (and I didn't have time to buy the CD) and I already ordered the Super Deluxe but those don't ship till next month and I'm not sure but I think it comes with both the standard and deluxe versions. I'm also getting the LP record! LOL I know I'm nuts...

On the forums at LadyGaGa.com, a poster had this to say about his conversation with GaGa at the BestBuy signing:

"Me: Gaga, why is your CD censored?

GaGa: No it isn't.

Me: Yes, they censored some of the lyrics on your album.

GaGa: which ones?

Me: Monster, you can't hear "******"

GaGa: Oh! yes, at the end, I didn't want the "explicit" sticker on my album cover, so I allowed the record company to censor some of the stronger language on there."

I feel that this is probably BS though. As much as that Parental Advisory Sticker would detract the brilliance of the cover, the censorship message makes more sense to me, but who knows.

What puzzles me the most is how Teeth gets away with saying ****, but we can't hear the B word on Bad Romance. The thing she says in Monster is understandable though.

Teeth seems to get a lot of slack from people. I guess the song is not as instantly catchy like her other songs, but I find it extremely sexy. There's something mysteriously seductive when she says, "My religion is you." I wouldn't mind taking a bite out of her bad girl meat!

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

You know everyone is keep saying that she says ** in Monster but I've listened to it a million times and I can't hear it!

Oh wait, Ok I saw one on youtube with the lyrics, but I still don't know what she's saying in that part, hard to understand.

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

Looooooooove this album. All 8 songs, really. Favorites are Bad Romance and So Happy I Could Die.

The Bad Romance video was fantastic, by the way.

The lyrics are:
I ask my girlfriend if she's seen his face before
she mumbles something as we got down on the floor
we may have ** not really sure, don't quite recall
but something tells me that I've seen him around before

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

Oh great now I have Alle Alle Jandro stuck in my head

Alejandro was my name in Spanish class :lol:

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

Gosh, I absolutely love her. And I love Teeth. I just like the simplicity of the beat, I guess.
Her whole Fame Monster makes me happy, really :]
I'm pretty sure my favorite is Telephone. Even though I'm not too fond of Beyonce. But I do think it's funny that it's Telephone ft. Beyonce, and then Beyonce has Videophone ft. Lady GaGa. Hahahahah.

I'm seeing her in 2 weeks! I'm so excited :] None of my friends like her, so they don't understand my excitement :[

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

I'm trying so hard to not see photos or any video of the tour but it's so hard!!! I've already saw a video and some pics! I can't watch anymore! I want it to be a surprise! I am SOOOO freakin excited about this tour! I even got 5 tickets for me and my friends! I can't wait! I'm gonna dress sooooooo crazy LOL!

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

You guys are so lucky, I have never gone to see anyone in concert before and want LG to be my first. Too bad I live in the cultural wasteland that is the central valley.

Re: Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster

Awww that really is unfortunate! I hate to see fellow monsters who can't go see GaGa! Theres no way you can drive down or up to see her there? I've already seen her once before, it was back in march! It was AMAZING FRONT and CENTER!(I had to shove and annoy many people, but it was worth it!). That concert seemed like so long ago and it was in a pretty small venue, now she's in a HUGE venue, but I couldn't afford to get the best seats or meet and greet packages, especially since it's gonna be 5 of us going. Well I really wish you could come down and see her! Hope you have a chance to see her live, it truly is an amazing experience!
