Downloaded The Fame Monster last night. Been listening to it more or less on loopsince about noon, with special attention paid to "Bad Romance" and "Teeth."



The terrifying thing about her isn't so much that she appears to be batshit insane (I'm inclined to agree that it's a calculated insanity, not an actual one). It's the fact that under the batshit insanity, the woman is pretty fiercely talented.

Also, not everyone can get away with stalking across a room wearing an entire polar bear for a coat.

Their kids would never walk - they'd be carried everywhere on a litter by midgets.

You're right. Also, they'd need autotune if they were going to say anything in anything but a monotone.

I'm actually surprised to discover that Gaga has a decent set of pipes on her (there's an acoustic video of her singing Poker Face while playing piano (with her feet, because it wasn't freaky enough to use hands I guess). Marilyn's not good for much but the sinister whispering and the shouty though, you're right.

That's the thing that sticks in my craw. She DOES. She really doesn't need that crutch. I realize that autotune has gone beyond a "fix-it" tool and is now a key style element in modern pop, but so help me I'm sick to death of that sound.

The foot playing is because she needs an extra hand and why the hell hire someone to play only a few notes next to you.
