She will be a superstar like Madonna and MJ in no time! Legend status is hers.

GaGa is amazing. The Fame is an incredible album

Totally disagree. I can find plenty of debut pop albums that are better than this.

I do love this album, though it seems a bit formulaic at times.

I tend to agree with you Baditude, although I thinks its really good debut I tend to think the success lies in the single choices.

I stopped listening to this album quite quickly and when I was listening to it it was unually for me to make it to the 2nd half of the album.

[Pollei]

I'm currently starting to like it. :lol:

LADY GAGA RETURNS WITH 8 NEW SONGS ON THE FAME MONSTER

(Santa Monica, CA) – Lady Gaga announced today that she will release The Fame Monster, a re-package of her 4 million-selling album The Fame. The album will include the entire breakthrough album The Fame, along with eight entirely new songs. The Fame Monster (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records), deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year. The new version will be released on November 24, 2009.

Says Lady Gaga, "On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my ‘Fear of Sex Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Alcohol Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Love Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Death Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Loneliness Monster,’ etc.”

“I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, ‘Speechless,’ a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."

The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced “Bad Romance,” will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.
Lady Gaga is also in the process of planning her next tour after her co-headlining tour with Kanye West was canceled last week.

Tracklisting for Lady GaGa's 'The Fame: Monster'
October 15, 2009 03:31:07 GMT
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00027991.html

Beside the arrival of 'The Fame: Monster' tracklisting, there is also rumor suggesting that Lady GaGa will make cameo in Beyonce Knowles' music video.


A list of songs from Lady GaGa's "The Fame: Monster" has been uncovered by Universal Music Japan. The album will come out as a double-disc with a total of twenty five songs included. The first disc will feature eight fresh materials, while the second disc will list old tracks from "The Fame".

Lady GaGa will release the album across United States on November 24. The fresh materials come from the production hands of such names as Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay. Powerhouse music maker RedOne also makes contribution to the effort, producing its lead single "Bad Romance".

"On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame," Lady GaGa told MTV about the record. "While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster', my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster', my 'Fear of Love Monster', my 'Fear of Death Monster', my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster', etc."

In another news, Lady GaGa is rumored to share screen with Beyonce Knowles in a music video for Beyonce's single "Video Phone". A source revealed to Life & Style, "Lady GaGa and Beyonce were working on the video together at a studio in NYC. Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush, and security was extremely tight." The source opened up further, "Beyonce wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane."

"Bad Romance"
"Alejandro"
"Monster"
"So Happy I Could Die"

I don't understand what the difference is between the 2 CD editions. Why does the digipack cost more if the tracklisting is the same? :/

^ Love both of those covers.

"Dancing In The Dark" will be available on iTunes on Monday! :o

[Wayne]

Gaga said she had a fight with her record company because she wanted to release The Fame Monster separately ('cause it's cheaper for fans etc.) and she won this. So now there will be The Fame Monster (8 tracks) on a single CD BUT there will also be the package The Fame + The Fame Monster.

WOW! So basically, we get a new mini-album from her! She's so kind lol!

[crazycool]

Interesting... thanks Wayne.

Whatever package this album comes in, I know I'll love. If it's GaGa - I'll crave it.

:biggrinlove:

[Wayne]

Crave it haha!

I think I'll definitely get the 8 track mini-EP!

Saving myself for when both my copies arrive :$

[Wayne]

^ You do that a lot don't you?! :P

I don't know where you find the self control! :lol:

[crazycool]

For my favourite artists, I have to wait! For me, there's nothing better than having the album in your hands, and playing it for the first time (start to finish) with no interruption or skipping tracks. I know it's wierd haha! But I download ALOT, but never with my favourite singers at all. (Except Mariah, who released Memoirs 2 and a half months before the UK date - no one can resist that!)

[Star]

I'm loving So Happy I Could Die right now! <3

Does anyone know how much the Collector's Edition with the Book costs in pounds?

[Wayne]

If you pre-order it here (http://ladygaga.shop.bravadousa.com/Dept.aspx?cp=14781_25077&utm_source=ladygaga.com&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=iga_preorder), it costs $114 which = about 70 pounds

[Star]

Hmm yeah it's £69.99 :P

I'm considering buying it - more as an investment rather than a die hard fan!

Will it be worth it if I buy it and keep it sealed and sell it on ebay later?? Hmmm

[Wayne]

LMAO you trader! :P Yeah it probably will since its limited edition!

[crazycool]

Got the album, love it.

Might review it later :)

Speechless live @ Ellen DeGeneres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRILEQhJqoo) - perhaps her finest vocal performance? She has such an awesome voice when she just reins it in, and lets her vocals do the talking, so to speak

[aShLEy]

Gaga thinks this has sold 10 million ww! lmao And that she has 6 US #1's! LOL

Today represents the end of The Fame/The Fame Monster's reign as the UK's biggest-selling album in 3 years. Adele's 21 will overtake it!
