Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

No one can accuse a singer who titles her first solo record The Fame of hiding her motives, and as an exercise designed to make a pop star out of the woman previously known as Stefani Joanne Germanotta, it succeeds perfectly. There is plenty more to Germanotta than the super-stylised, cosmetically reworked face she presents to the world. For all the Paris Hilton-esque bimbo role-playing, Lady GaGa is a product of New York’s knowing downtown art/dance scene. So it’s no surprise to find that The Fame is a witty take on contemporary pop values, at times cruelly sarcastic ("Paparazzi" blatantly flirts with the same snappers who drove Britney over the brink). It’s as shameless as Pussycat Dolls (she has already penned tunes for them), as crass and kiddie-friendly as anything Black-Eyed Peas might concoct, and as generation-defying as her obvious inspiration Madonna. In short, The Fame is built to sell, and tunes like the chart-topping single "Just Dance", the amusingly stupid "Boys Boys Boys" (supposedly a tribute to Motley Crue’s equally dumb "Girls Girls Girls") and the brutal materialism of "Money Honey", "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" and the title track seduce the ear rather than impress the intellect. Smarter than it first appears, The Fame might be the start of a long and interesting career or it could prove to be a flash in the pan, but it’s easy to tell why it sells. --Steve Jelbert


CD Description

The Fame is the debut album by American pop singer Lady GaGa. Taking her name from the legendary Queen song "Radio GaGa", her album is a fusion of futuristic pop beats and retro rock stylings. Working with a host of talented producers (Space Cowboy, RedOne, Brian Kierluf) this is the sound of modern pop. Includes the singles "Just Dance", "Poker Face" and "The Fame".

3.0 out of 5 stars A classic 10 track album buried in a mediocre 16 track one, 20 Aug 2009
On the surface of it, there would appear to be many reasons to dislike Lady Gaga. The gimmicks, the attention seeking, the bandwagon jumping. But what also cannot be denied, even by her most vehement haters, is that she has made some of the best pop music around this year.
Calling card single Poker Face is, as I fully expected when I first explored the album, the best track here, with its glorious electronic beats, hooks and lyrics which turn out to be nothing to do with card games and everything to do with bisexuality, making it perhaps the greatest song of the year. But it is testament to the album's quality that it does not dwarf everything else here, by a long shot. There is also the majestic stalker's anthem that is Paparazzi; the marvellously camp electro stomp-fest that is Boys Boys Boys; the rather daft but thoroughly entertaining Space Cowboy collaboration, Starstruck; the Gwen Stefani like bubblegum poptastic Eh Eh(Nothing Else I Can Say); and, of course, in Just Dance, perhaps the best song ever to be written about getting completely wasted so you barely know where you are or who you're with (and unfortunately for us, the latter ends up being the rather mediocre Colby O Donis). All these tracks sound like singles: many have been.
Sadly, however, the album is a massive 16 tracks long, and is somewhat bloated and patchy overall. The second half of the album is largely devoid of decent tracks (other than Boys Boys Boys), with the repetitive, clumsy paino driven hip hop of Paper Gangster, and the rather dreary ballad Brown Eyes being particular lowlights. It's a shame, because without these filler tracks, this could have been an absolute killer of a 10 track album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lady G, 17 May 2009
By Cosmic (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Generally speaking, this is a v. good first album.
She has written most if not all of the tracks on this CD in collaboration with other writers.
The ones that stand out for me are 'Just Dance', 'Lovegame', 'Paparazzi', 'Poker Face', 'Starstruck', 'The Fame' and 'Money Honey'.
'Just Dance' and 'Poker Face' should pretty much speak for themselves for most people. 'Starstruck' has a watered down hip hop influence running through it esp. from the point of view of the lyrics and is excellent, good rhythm, good general all round production. 'The Fame' and 'Money Honey' are favourites of mine. Listening to these on my ipod, I can easily visualise how the music videos for these would appear (if released as singles) bearing in mind the subject matter and Lady Gaga's overall look and image.
The heavy electronic component to these tracks, crisp production, strong vocals with polished delivery, clever lyrics and prominent retro 80's/pop/glamour influence make this a very entertaining CD to listen to.
Based on what I've heard so far, I don't think this lady is just simply hype. In my opinion, she appears to be the real deal and should be around for while yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 2009 Must Have Album!!, 31 Dec 2008
By L. Carmichael "Nathan" (Belfast, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a DEFINATE must have album for 2009!it is so refreshing and new, with most tracks having an electronic vibe to them, then there is the more upbeat song "eh eh (nothing else i can say)" and the slow tempo track "brown eyes"

i actually couldn't wait the long month for it to be released in the UK so had it imported from the US and so glad i did!!the UK version has two bonus tracks on it which are "disco heaven*" and "again again*"...to be honest the bonus track i got with my american import (which is called "Starstruck*" featuring Space Cowboy and Flo Rider) is much better than both of the UK bonus tracks and a definate download!

*all three are available to download from the mp3 store on amazon.co.uk from the 11/01/2009The Fame
