This is the single review I wrote to the Editor of Popjustice, in hopes of writing for them. So far it's been unsuccessful [although I have just corrected a load of mistakes which could be why], but I'll keep trying.
Gaga’s back and she’s bigger than ever. The 23-year-old from New York is ready to show-off exactly why she deserves all the hype. With public favourites “Just Dance” and “Pokerface” having already topped charts across the world, she has already certified herself as an international superstar.
Re-releasing her 2008 album “The Fame” as “The Fame Monster,” RedOne produced “Bad Romance” has been chosen as the lead single. The track begins with a recognisable Gaga hook- “ra ra ah-ah-ah, roma romama, gaga ooh la la,” as it instantly sets itself up to be a hit. As the single continues, we are hit with the usual array of quirky lyrics, darting between being completely insane, increasingly creepy but incredibly catchy. And catchy is the one element that seems to emulate from Lady Gaga without effort. Add the synth-heavy background- and the usual crazy video- and you have successfully created a delightful pop nugget that is guaranteed to liven up even the dullest of parties.
“Bad Romance” has already begun to dominate the charts internationally, not only giving her the first UK number one of 2010, but also her third number one in 2009. This gave her the record of being the first female in British chart history to have three number one singles in one year. Stand back and be warned. You never know where she’ll go next.
