Oh Godarazzi. And the way the subject matter and vibe became a perfect bridge into TFM era

 

Rob Fusari was being shady when he said it but he described the instrumental being disjointed on purpose so that it could reflect her… and he was right!

I still remember when I first heard this song on the radio and thought Gagz sounded like Gwen, esp. in the bridge, then I saw the video and was like "oh she's taking it".

Can we talk about the immaculate piano section she made for the intro? And the accoustic version?

The song and performances that made me get into Gaga's music. Since then, a little monster for life! Truly one for the history books and one of the most iconic singles!

Her VMA performance is still legendary and out of the world. 

Wish she didn't release Bad Romance so soon and let this song grow massively. Would have given space for both of these songs to be No 1.

 

What a song.. Just dance - Poker Face - Paparazzi... Bad Romance... What a debut run :jonny6:

TF singles still sound so fresh whilst having a retro sound. We saw this again for Future Nostalgia. It's extremely hard to catch this balance without just sounding dated when doing dance-pop. 
 

Paparazzi is also great as it showcases her perfect pop tone and voice before she lost this and transitioned to a more mature vocal.

An absolute gem. The song, the video, the performances. Everything was peak Gaga :gaygacat5:

 

The VMA performance is also up there with some of my favorite performances ever. Still so shook by it (2009 VMAs were so iconic!) :jonny2:
