2/5. Bad Romance is an absolute banger, but I’m pretty meh on the rest of it. Not really sure how relevant she is anymore - feels like her heyday was a good five years or so ago, and the last couple of records have been mediocre at best with little cultural impact. Not surprised she’s giving the acting a go after that. A Star Is Born seems to have gone down well (I have not seen it and never will), maybe that will be her thing in future.

“Gaga’s approach to image is really interesting, but you listen to the music, and you just hear glow sticks. Smart outlets for musical journalism give her all this credit, like she’s the new Madonna … Although I’m coming from a perspective of also thinking Madonna is not great at all. I’m like, fair enough: she is the new Madonna, but Madonna’s a dumb-ass!”

It isn’t. I was surprised by who it was though.

I’ve never found said person interesting enough to listen to more than 1 or 2 songs.

Newsomes approach to image is really interesting, but you listen to the music, and you just hear a shit wedding. Smart outlets for musical journalism give her all this credit, like she’s the new judee sill… Although I’m coming from a perspective of also thinking Judee Sill is not great at all. I’m like, fair enough: she is the new Judee Sill, but Judee Sill’s a dumb-ass!”

Think she’s interesting and probably important as an icon, but under-delivers musically. It would be hypocritical of me to boost her score because I like her image and actions, given that I didn’t dock points from fools like Kanye.

5/5 for Bad Romance alone. The first time I heard it on the radio, I almost crashed my car.

Also, remember when she appeared on the X Factor singing in a massive toilet? That whole year/18 month period she was just on another level.
