I gladly give the cash to her - some may find her pretentious - but goddam, she has the talent to back it up...

She really is. Though I'd throw in a little Lords of Acid, too.

I think she's made no bones about the fact that she's a "performance artist", not just a pop star. So that helps put things in perspective. At least she writes her own music and performs it with passion.

IMO, this album isn't as good as her first ("The Fame")... which isn't to say it's bad.

i completely agree. i didnt mean to make it sound like i thought she was bad, i know enough about her to know she has real talent, and works very hard at it, so she has my props. that doesnt mean ill listen to her music though....

I would buy it, but review(s) say it's the edited version. I refuse to buy edited music :/

This made some news. People angry at not being able to DL the songs.

I downloaded fine

I can't imagine Amazon's servers choking. aren't they famous for having a huge network infrastructure set up?

I got it because it was $0.99. what's the difference between edited and non-edited (stupid question yes but I'm still serious)?

Language - not sure what songs on this album are affected, though.

Wow, missed this. Not a fan of the genre, but she is talented and for $.99 I would have been all over this. I've always hugely preferred her acapella versions of her songs, they show that she really does have talent.

so which other mainstream relevant artist can sing like her?? soulja boy? lol

You mean someone with as much or more talent? That's easy, Prince. Raw singing ability? Sarah Brightman, Charice Pempengco, Mariah Carey, Whitney before she bottomed out. Not that I care for their music, or Gaga's, but they are more talented singers.

Awesome deal! She is today's Madonna. With the wild costumes and antics that she does, she will keep her name out there just like Madonna has done over the decades. Her music is good too!

Well, whatever her artistic merits may be, the deal appears to be toast. It's now $6.99 to get your gaga on. Can't say I'm overly broken up about missing this deal.

lol....unlike most of the other artists out there, gaga actually has talent in another instrument besides her voice. I am not saying she is Mozart, but she has more than enough talent.

Oh, I agree, she's not some talentless dud like Miley Cyrus or Bieber, but she shouldn't be compared to the real legends.

I bought it, but the main reason was to get upgraded to the 20GB music cloud storage tier. Her music isn't bad, I can listen to it. She's freaking nuts though, watched a couple interviews and dang, she is bat-shit crazy.
