It’s hard to think about the fact that Lady GaGa is just barely releasing her second studio album. It seems like she’s been around for so long! But being one of her very own little monsters, I have to pay tribute to her and prepare for this wonderful second album in just a few days. So here is the first half of her singles countdown from the good, to her best!
12.) “Video Phone” (featuring Beyoncé)
(from the album I Am…Sasha Fierce)
It had all the makings of a great collaboration, but Lady GaGa didn’t really add too much to either the song itself or the video. While it was great to see Geyoncé (totally different from Lady GaGa’s personality), it just didn’t seem right. What did go well however was Beyoncé entering GaGa’s world in the #7 single…
11.) “Alejandro”
(from the album The Fame Monster)
This one certainly was visually stunning and bizarre all at once where the music video is concerned, but it’s not one of the most memorable GaGa signatures. Not to mention that it sounds way too much like Ace of Base…
10.) “Paparazzi”
(from the album The Fame)
Once again, GaGa shows off her artistic side with a visually stunning music video. Her vocals are beautiful when it gets to the chorus, and it’s a solid song throughout.
9.) “Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)”
(from the album The Fame)
This is one of her forgotten gems from the beginning. It’s a lot different from what she’s known for now, but it’s a sweet pop tune that gets stuck in your head. Eh…! Eh…!
8.) “Just Dance” (featuring Colby O’Donnis)
(from the album The Fame)
Who can forget the song that started it all?! She sings about this binge-drinking culture, but what’s ironic is that everyone who loves this song and dances to it at parties is actually living out what she sings about. But more than that, it’s infectious and pure pop at its best. It started a new evolution of music which is continuing to grow as GaGa’s signature sound. And bee-tee-dubs, does ANYONE remember Colby O’Donnis at all? That’s what I thought. She certainly didn’t need him to make a name for herself, but it didn’t hurt her in the least bit.
7.) “Telephone” (featuring Beyoncé)
(from the album The Fame Monster)
Finally, we get to the genius collaboration that surpasses their first get-together. It’s Beyoncé entering into GaGa’s world, and she is more than welcome to stay as long as she wants. It’s a pretty simple pop song with a genius and groundbreaking mini-movie music video. Not to mention that the inspiration from Quentin Tarantino certainly gives it a darker edge and wonderful visuals!
