Lady Gaga : 'Bad Romance'

Lady Gaga : 'Bad Romance'

 

Released: Out Now!!!

Label: Interscope Records

 

I have a lot of respect for Ms. Gaga. She’s certainly generated a lot of interest with her bizarre get ups, catchy songs, outlandish stage shows all of which have peaked the media’s curiosity for this bizarre songstress . No doubt about it, when she chose to title her debut album ‘The Fame’, she knew that it was coming her way and by the truck load. Love or hate her, Lady Gaga has carved herself a niche that’s been the key to her growing popularity.

All this praise that gushes out of me makes her latest effort ‘Bad Romance’ all the more disappointing. It’s not Lady Gaga’s latest isn’t bad song but it lacks a pulse, something which all of her prior singles had.  In comparison to the likes of 'Poker Face' or'Just Dance', this just sounds empty and the unnatural interruption of "Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah/Roma-roma-mah/Gaga-oh-là-là" just seems phoned in rather than anything to do with character. I know that Lady Gaga is the kind of artist to take a typical song and beat it around with the ‘crazy stick’ but without said gobbledygook, 'Bad Romance' could easily be passed onto any other female artist in her demographic. 

Simply put, 'Bad Romance' is an easily forgettable tune which Lady Gaga can only hope doesn’t stain her credible reputation.
