Pretty fun music. 4 stars. July 27, 2010

I must say that I jumped on the Lady Gaga bandwagon kinda late. At first, I couldn't really tolerate her music because it was pretty simple-minded in my eyes. In general, if you really think about it, most of it is still that way - nothing too deep.
But that doesn't mean it's not fun! She has a way of making you just wanna let go, be yourself and have a great time and I think that's what set out to accomplish.
I almost love every song on the CD.
-Just Dance Feat. Colby O'Donis- This track was the second track that I heard from Lady Gaga but is the first single. I actually heard it in a bar that I used to go to and I hated it back then. But it has since become one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs. Love it. 4.25 stars.
-LoveGame- This song has an alright beat but it's kinda repetitive. It's not her best but it's OK. The third single. 3.5 stars.
-Paparazzi- Another song that I didn't quite get at first. But the beat is cool and the production is mysterious. I also love the lyrics. It's just a fun song. One of her bigger songs from the album. 4 stars.
-Pokerface- Her second single I believe. This song we all know by now. The "P-P-P-Pokerface" part is kinda annoying after a while, but some of the lyrics are fun. To me, it's not one of the better tracks on the album, but it's OK. The best part of the song is the bridge. 3.75 stars.
-Eh, Eh (Nothing Left To Say)- This is probably the most simple and uncomplicated song on the album. But it's also one of the funnest. Lady Gaga has broken up with a guy in this one to find someone new that makes her happy. Has a very upbeat demeanor. Cherry, Cherry, Boom, Boom! 4.25 stars.
-Beautiful, Dirty, Rich- This song has a mean beat. It also has sort of a party scene kinda vibe going on. I like the way she speaks in this song. 4 stars.
*The Fame* My all-time favorite Lady Gaga song. It took a few listens for it to climb the pole to my favorite, but it's there now. It talks about how people want to achieve fame and how worthless it really is in the end. Sorta speaks about how we like shallow things like "body plastic" and "hot blondes in odd positions" if you know what I mean. ;) 4.5 stars.
-Money Honey- This is another fun song. The beat is kinda old-school sounding but I like the "damn's" in the song. Not much to say about it but it's good. 4 stars.
-Starstruck Feat. Space Cowboy & Flo Rida- This track is probably the only real filler in the album. I'm not crazy about it. 3.25 stars.
-Boys, Boys, Boys- Well, this one is sorta filler too. 3.25 stars.
-Paper Gangsta- In this one Lady Gaga kinda raps and it works. 3.5 stars.
-I Like It Rough- This song is great. Stefani (Lady Gaga's real name) speaks on a relationship that isn't quite working in this one. Has a great feel to it. 4.25 stars.
-Summerboy- A feel-good anthem about loving a boy for the summer. This song is kinda shallow and speaks on just a hook-up, but it doesn't really matter. It's still one of my favorites. 4 stars.
All in all, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this album. I don't usually get into dance pop all that much, but some songs have been good. Lately, everyone is getting into it though; Britney, Miley, Katy Perry, etc....Lady Gaga is one of the best at it though. I can't wait to see what she does for her third album.
4 stars or an 8/10 (not an average).

This has to be one of the most consistent debut album i have listened to in an extremely long time. It's incredibly catchy, the lyrics are smart and the beats are incredible.
My favorite line of the album is from the exuberant Brown Eyes, in which she passionately sings
"Everything was everything but baby it's the last show
Everything could be everything but it's time to say goodbye so.
Get your last fix and your last hit
And grab your old girl with her new tricks,
Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes
Lady Gaga is out for world domination and this debut proves it.
My favorite songs are Poker Face, Brown Eyes, Paper Gangsta, Boys Boys Boys, and Money Honey.
Amazing cd that you should deffinately not pass up

I had to sit through this cd on a car ride from LA to San Fran and let me tell you, I'd rather slide down a fifty foot razor blade than listen to this crap again. At one point I wept and begged my girlfriend to turn it off-she didn't and so I dumped her when we got to SF. I think when you die and if there is a hell, Satan is playing this twenty-four seven while he shoves a red hot poker up your a*#!
Lady GaGa planning world domination? Perhaps. June 19, 2010

There's one thing I've said for quite some time, and that's that I would never jump on the GaGa bandwagon. Unfortunately, I lied.
Overall, this is a very strange thing for me, because I'm one of those individuals that generally shy away from pop and radio music. I listen to a lot of different genres, ranging from folk, to gothic (rock), to various forms of metal, to shoegaze, classical and beyond -- but this isn't something that would typically fall into my line of sight. Despite this, and for whatever reason -- GaGa had been stalking me to the point of annoyance -- so I decided to act on that annoyance. I checked out "The Fame". Upon first listen, I was expecting a boring, typical, manufactured, bubble-gum pop album..but what I got was quite different, and actually, quite interesting.
To start, I'll say that Lady GaGa is more than what meets the eye on first contact. Firstly, she writes her own music, and even has a hand in the production of her own albums. Second, many of her songs have deeper, hidden meanings. Third, she's vocally talented. And fourth, she's crazy and takes chances (well, we all know she's strange..right?). Beyond that, she's everything a pop artist should be. She pushes buttons. She gets people talking. Her songs are catchy and whether you like them or not, they stick in your head. Yes, she's all that.
While I could go over every song, I won't..but I will mention a few of the stand-outs.
First, there's the title track "The Fame," which is an interesting throwback to the 80s. The lyrics are well enough and fit the concept of the album as a whole. The vocals are excellent, and it has a hook that could even make my 90 year old grandma get up and dance. This song was a blast from the past, and I loved it.
Then there's "Paparazzi," which I'm sure everyone has heard by now. I enjoy the song not only because it's catchy as hell, but because the lyrics can actually be interpreted in various ways. While many feel the song is about a typical groupie fan stalking a band/artist..I take the song as the artist actually stalking the Paparazzi. Not necessarily literally, but metaphorically, as in doing everything possible to achieve fame -- to achieve popularity, success, and to be noticed. Instead of the Paparazzi being her fan, she's theirs. She longs for their attention, for the fame. It makes me think of the celebrities that actually (and they really do) call the Paparrazi and tip them off on where they'll be, simply so they can drown in the media frenzy.
Then there's "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich," "Money Honey," and "I Like it Rough," all of which stay true to the concept of the album, and are as catchy and engaging as ever. Most surprisingly however, are the songs "Brown Eyes," and "Summerboy." Brown Eyes is a gaga-esque ballad; an emotional piano/beat driven piece about a lost love. This is perhaps one of GaGa's most deep songs, which is not only shown lyrically, but through her emotional and hard-hitting vocals. Summerboy isn't exactly as deep, but just as interesting. Perhaps most interesting about the track, is the style and vocals. Reminiscent of very early 'No Doubt', this is a quirky, funky pop-song about a simple summer romance; one in which GaGa is *unsurprisingly* in complete in control of. It's just a great song.
With that said, Lady GaGa's "The Fame," is a surprisingly solid, fun, and unique piece of pop music. I can see her having true longevity as a star -- and if she keeps up with her wacky outfits, mind-numbingly catchy songs, and controversial music videos and behavior, her obvious plan of world domination should come to pass. In truth, I don't see her going away any time soon -- and with her latest release of "The Fame Monster," she has proved once again that she has what it takes.
All in all, I'll say this: if you like her songs, even guiltily, take a look at "The Fame," you may be pleasantly surprised. GaGa has it all..Vocal talent (youtube her live version of speechless if you don't believe me), dance talent, writing talent, and most important, she just has "it." In a world of bland and boring pop singers and music -- gaga takes it a different level, creating dancy, catchy, unique, and even controversial music that's simply easy to enjoy. Overall, "The Fame" is a fun album, and if taken for what it is, can be quite a surprise.
