Lady GaGa Countdown (Part 2)

Here we go, getting into the top 6 Lady GaGa songs from the good to her best!

6.) “Beautiful Dirty Rich”
(from the album The Fame)
From the early days of GaGa, this is one of her signature songs. It’s infectious, it’s catchy, and it’s got all of the classic elements of a true GaGa creation: money, fame, party, and lots of repetitive syllables.

5.) “Judas”
(from the album Born This Way)
This one may not be as popular as it should be, but there’s no denying the wonderful controversy surrounding it. It’s a metaphor about being in love with the wrong kind of guy (something like a Judas-type). Yes it’s sac religious most of the time, yes it’s sounds very similar to “Bad Romance”, but it’s GaGa once again pushing the boundaries with the lyric content as well as the video. I mean come on, Jesus in a bike gang with the 12 apostles? Where does she come up with this?!!!

4.) “Lovegame”
(from the album The Fame)
It’s a deliciously, dirty guilty pleasure, one that is not shy about being upfront with the game of love. It’s a sick beat straying away from the up-tempo numbers she’s released, and that’s why it stands on it’s own.

3.) “Born This Way”
(from the album Born This Way)
Let’s just get rid of the Madonna references right now: yes, we can deem this “Express Yourself” for this generation today. But unlike Madonna’s hit, GaGa lets it all out, calling out for peace between gays, straights, bisexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, blacks, whites, beiges, cholas, and orients. Yes, she names every single one and isn’t afraid to even stick up for all the things that make us different. It’s a life anthem for all of her little monsters.

2.) “Poker Face”
(from the album The Fame)
From “Just Dance” to this single, GaGa got a bit dark on us. It’s an infectious single, one that no one can deny about being catchy. The lyrics are genius when you really get into what it’s all about (SIDENOTE: she’s playing her poker face on a guy she’s about to sleep with, confusing him about her own sexuality… “bluffin’ with my muffin”).

1.) “Bad Romance”
(from the album The Fame Monster)
The big hit from GaGa, that one that has truly solidified her mark in pop music. With the chants, the big chorus, and French, and the GaGa shout-outs, this is one amazing contribution from her! Not to mention that the video is beyond brilliant and visually stunning to say the least.
