Not going to lie though, this feels way too high imo. On 9/14/2021 at 3:31 PM, #jeah said: Wasn’t originally a favorite of Gaga’s but this song has become timeless imo. One of her best On 9/14/2021 at 12:37 PM, .Rei said: I often forget how great Paparazzi is. Love it! On 9/7/2021 at 7:36 PM, *Wallace said: "Paparazzi" has always been my least favorite single of the big 4 singles from The Fame era, but that's not saying too much as I still do love this song. "Paparazzi" is a really fun song and I do enjoy the sound of it. The verses has this cool hypnotic feel to it. As does the chorus, which is really fun and catchy. I love the chorus especially with how she sings the word "paparazzi." The bridge has a different but fun sound to it and I love the part where she shouts "But we still have fun!" I also think the music video is kinda monumental in Gaga's career, as this was the first kinda film like music video she did (or at least I think so).

If I were not so in love with BTW and dedicated to my own cause, this would have ranked higher because the pop gods smiled down on us when allowing for this to happen!!! The music video. The visuals. The choreography. The lyrics. The everything. The best song from The Fame Monster by far.

But no really, I absolutely love "Telephone" and think this is such an amazing and iconic song & music video. This song was also my #1 song on my 2010 Top songs list too, so again shows how much I do love this....and I still do. I love how the song starts off so soft and pretty on its opening. But green it pumps up and blasts into full dance jam mood! I love how Gaga sings the verses and the chorus here. Then of course, Beyonce comes in and completely slays her part too! I love how hard she comes in on her verse and all the attitude she brings there too! The music video is iconic and everything as well, just like the song. This is one of those long Gaga music videos I can Watch it in full and multiple times, which I have done of course. I just love how the video feels like a legit film. There's SO much going on it but dang it's so entertaining to watch! And all of the dancing with Gaga and Bey and the end? ICONIC! No doubt I do really love this song and am pulling for it to win. It might not, but I'm hoping for a Top 10, or even better a Top 5 placement! On 9/8/2021 at 10:55 AM, FrogLenzen said: This started out as a demo for Britney Spears and Lady Gaga turned it into a full cultural reset, and then still was able to write a different song for Britney and achieve that dream too. 3.

The honesty of this song is astounding. My heart hurts by the end of this song from feeling way too many things. I don't think I have enough words to discuss the beautiful composition of this song. It is truly musical genius. Yoü and I is perfection - from the opening electric guitar strum to the ending notes on the piano. My favorite Gaga song of all-time. One of my favorite songs of all-time.

On 9/14/2021 at 3:31 PM, #jeah said: A full ass serve from Gaga, I remember when Haley Reinhart covered this on AI before it was released...then I was a little shocked to hear the official version being a little country/southern rock influenced? I’ve grown to absolutely love this. Truly superb On 9/14/2021 at 12:37 PM, .Rei said: One of my favorite Gaga songs On 9/7/2021 at 7:36 PM, *Wallace said: I was unsure where "You and I" but it manage to crack my Top 10 at #10, which I am happy about. I do love this song from Gaga, and the slight rock edge this has. Gaga's vocals are great and strong as ever here, and I love the story that she tells in this song. She sounds great on the verses, but I really love how her voice soars on the chorus. I love how she belts out "this time I'm not leaving WITHOUT you" on the second verse, in particular. She crushes and slays the bridge of the song where she belts out all of those "you and I" parts! All of her vocal ad limbs are really slayage here. Love it all! Oh wow, I haven't seen the music video in so long but I forget that she had that male alter ego character she played here. On 9/10/2021 at 11:31 PM, JC said: Love the twang and different vibe of this song. Completely slayed. 2.

The Edge of Glory has an immediacy to it that really transforms the song into a pop anthem. Between the disco beats, the saxophone solos, and the stadium rock tunes, The Edge of Glory really is a defining moment for Gaga and one of the strongest tracks of her career. On 9/14/2021 at 3:31 PM, #jeah said: Here for the sax solo On 9/14/2021 at 12:37 PM, .Rei said: One of my favorite songs from Gaga ever. Hopefully it places near the top. On 9/7/2021 at 7:36 PM, *Wallace said: "The Edge of Glory" is such a great empowering anthemic kind of song, so it's no surprise this became such a big hit for Lady Gaga. I love how she sings the opening of the song and all of those "tonight yeah baby" parts. The pre-chorus is great and builds up nicely for that powerful chorus. As I said about this song, the chorus in particular gives off such an inspiring and empowering feel to it. It's wonderful. Gaga's vocals are so strong and powerful here. The bridge is another highlight of the song and I love that killer sax solo in there! On 9/10/2021 at 11:31 PM, JC said: Amazing song, obsessed. 1.

Bad Romance really cemented Lady Gaga in the upper echelons of pop fame. I love it so so so much. However, this song annoyed me to no end at one point due to how much it was played and it often colored my feelings towards the song. I heard it so much I never really returned to the song much. But it was an inevitable winner. Boring, but iconic nonetheless. On 9/13/2021 at 6:20 PM, totes4totes said: I AM BASIC. On 9/14/2021 at 3:31 PM, #jeah said: Will probably win the rankdown, I can’t even be mad because it’s her most iconic song On 9/14/2021 at 12:37 PM, .Rei said: this will always be an iconic song and rightfully so. It is probably Gaga biggest hit ever and it is such a good song. Hopefully it ends up as the winner or runner-up cause it doesn’t deserve anything less than that. On 9/10/2021 at 11:31 PM, JC said: Classic iconic song. On 9/7/2021 at 7:36 PM, *Wallace said: "Bad Romance" is one of Lady Gaga's most iconic songs and music videos, and it's another one of her many songs I really love! I love that eerie music before the song really starts. LOL I love those "ra Ra Ra ah ah ah Roma romama Gaga ooh la la" parts she says in the song, which greatly cracks me up. But the verses are so intriguing and interesting. I love that eerie haunting attitude she has there. Then that chorus is undeniably catchy and addicting. I love Gaga's vocals there, as I do throughout the song, I also love those "I want your love" parts she sings. Then one of those random parts I love from the middle of the song is where she shouts out "cause I'm a free b***h baby." ALWAYS cracks me up. The bridge is so good and powerful too, and love how she even sings in a different language. Love this music video and all of the amazing dancing in it too! This song is just too iconic and I can never get enough of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Wallace Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Love Paparazzi, but I shockingly agree with Dee that song at #5 is too high. Aww Telephone coming in at #4 and missing the Top 3. But I do love this a ton and am glad it got this high. Me completely agreeing with Andrelliott.... is something I never imagined but I'm here for it. Also slay at Derek ranking this 1st too! You and I did much better than what I was expecting. Shocked to see this as Dee's favorite Gags song for some reason, but I'm not mad at it. Love The Edge of Glory and not surprised to see it come in 2nd. Great song and I agree with so many of the comments. Also wow, this only beat YAI by 0.06 points. Slayy and yes at Bad Romance winning! Congrats to Victoria & Megan on having their #1s winning! Lots of great high rankings here too! This was all so fun to be apart of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
