Lady GaGa was a new name to me and to be honest initially I passed her off as one of those one-hit dance wonders, who would be gone soon. In fact I bought her album on very much of a whim-not even really having heard her smash hit 'Just Dance'. It was therefore with great surprise that I listened to the album and found that generally I liked what I heard. It's definitely not perfect, but it is certainly very contemporary and a great fun album! The success she's had is nothing short of astounding, but it is definitely deserved! 1.Just Dance-The sensational first single, which propelled her to stardom, insatiably catchy! Fantastic! 10/10 2.LoveGame-It's taken a while for me to get into this one, but now I can definitely see its merits, despite its risque lyrics! 8/10 3.Paparazzi-One of my initial faves-a great song. 9/10 4.Poker Face-The second single and another unstoppable success. I like it, but it's not my favourite here. 8/10 5.I Like It Rough-When thinking of the album this song doesn't necessarily spring to mind, but it is actually a good solid number. 8/10 6.Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)-I love this song, but I can see why some maybe wouldn't. Very sleek! 10/10 7.Starstruck-This is pretty generic electro-pop. Not so keen. 6/10 8.Beautiful, Dirty, Rich.-Not my favourite, but its pretty OK. 7/10 9.The Fame-This is a great song, very catchy and cracking lyrics. 9/10 10.Money Honey-A definite album track-its not bad, just not amazing. 7/10 11.Boys Boys Boys-This has to be the weakest track of the collection, the lyrics are banal and the tune is sub-standard. 5/10 12.Paper Gangsta-This is one of my favourite tracks, a great piano-bopping melody! 10/10 13.Brown Eyes-A Gwen Stefani style ballad-pure class! 9/10 14.Summerboy-A nice light tune, which is really pretty good. 8/10 15.Disco Heaven-The vocals on this are appealing, as they sound quite different from on other tracks. 8/10 16.Again, Again-This is good, rather than great. OK. 7/10 Definitely recommended even for those non-converts (there must be a few left out there). It'll be really, really interesting to see how she progresses in the future, because if this album is anything to go by she could be around for a long time to come!
