New article... nothing new but still.
Emerging dance-pop superstar Lady GaGa will perform at a Surrey nightclub Monday (August 18), a day before her debut album is released.
Her catchy, synth-fueled “Just Dance” single is a smash hit — tops among this week’s most-downloaded songs at iTunes.
It’s a “retro-sexual” sound she describes, in male-equivalent terms, as “Elton John, Freddy Mercury, Boy George and John Lennon in wig and fishnets at Studio 54,” the famous New York disco.
Here on Monday night, she will perform and, reportedly, sign autographs at The Mirage nightclub in Guildford. Tickets are $25 for the general-admission show.
It’s her only appearance in the Metro Vancouver area on this tour, according to her Myspace webpage.
GaGa, 22, is known for her racy live shows, which have been described as a form of shock art.
This from the website andpop.com: “During performances, Lady GaGa will strip down to a pair of personally-designed and manufactured hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire and strike a pose below a disco ball to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange — bearing no resemblance to a typical pop-tart concert.”
She’s always done her shows that way, GaGa recently told the website.
“I like to be provocative. I want my live shows to be important because it’s different.”
GaGa, born Stefani Germanotta and private-schooled in New York City, learned piano by ear at age four. As a teen she performed at open-mic nights before writing songs for the likes of the Pussycat Dolls and New Kids on the Block.
In July, she performed “Just Dance” live on the results show of the TV show So You Think You Can Dance. Also this summer, in an interview with HX magazine, she declared her bisexuality.
She got her name from the old Queen song, “Radio Gaga,” according to andpop.com, and she defends pop music and major record labels in a way that many other artists avoid.
“The whole myth that pop albums do not make good albums is totally neglected by the impact that they have on the world,” she told the website.

SOMEONE must have this album, I just refuse to believe that no stores have got it in Canada and someone who works there took a copy (paid for obv). It's ridiculous.
When I order CDs from Amazon or Play I sometimes get them a day before release, I just can't understand why it hasn't leaked yet LOL

I love this Bio on her on the "You Should Hear This" page on MTV.ca
Lady GaGa
New York City has known Lady Gaga for years. Emerging from the hip downtown club scene, she is known for her burlesque pop that combines hot beats, powerful vocals, fierce fashion and a very risqué stage show. Already being labelled as the next big thing in pop, her first single "Just Dance" is on fire burning up the charts. Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame is available August 19th now!

LADY GAGA DANCES HER WAY TO AUSTRALIA
US singer and party pumper Lady Gaga is part pop star, part crazy mannequin for a mish-mash of fashion style and she's heading to Australia for the first time. The bigger than life presence that's all glamour and money and clouds of smoke and perfume is here for a promotional tour from September 24 to September 29.
Lady Gaga has come a long way from when she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits when she was a little girl. She'd get twirled in the air in daddy's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit. It's no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today.
Lady Gaga is singed to multi-platinum selling artist Akon's label Konlive, she stole the show earlier this year at the Isle of MTV Malta Special and she makes her own clothes and writes her own songs - a true DIY disco-erotica queen. She has also been nominated at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in Hollywood for her debut single "Just Dance". Click HERE to watch the sizzling video.
It might be her first trip down under, however Lady Gaga is already being lapped up by her growing number of Australian fans. Her current single "Just Dance" is #4 on the iTunes Singles Chart, #10 and climbing on the Motorola ARIA Singles Chart and it already owns the airwaves. Her hit filled debut album The Fame is released September 6.
Lady Gaga made her way in the music industry the old-fashioned/grass roots way by paying her dues with seedy club gigs and self-promotion. This is one rising pop star who hasn't been plucked from a model casting call, born into a famous family, won a reality TV singing contest, or emerged from a teen cable TV sitcom.

Promotional Tour from September 24 to September 29
Top 10 Single "Just Dance" Out Now

I'm glad she's writing for Britney's new album. She definitely knows how to write crazy catchy pop choruses

I just have to say this is the most amazing album I've ever heard.
Poker Face is out of this world amazing and unlike anything the pop scene has ever heard.
I'm really disappointed she wouldn't release it after Just Dance...But holy crap. Its just amazing!
I can't wait to buy it when it comes out in the US as well. This album will be definitely played out HARD.
Special thanks to Taylor.

"Lets Have Some Fun
This Beat This Sick
I Wanna Take A Ride On Your Disco Stick"
--------------------------------------------------------
"Beautiful, Dirty Dirty Rich..."
-----------------------------------------------------
"ma ma ma my Poker Face"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Doing it for the Fame", "We live for the Fame"
-------------------------------------------------------
These are the lyrics that seem to be stuck in my head after listening to the album...
And so I want these songs released...
I'd like "LoveGame" or "Poker Face" as 2nd single, if i could choose
i dunno what it is but those lyrics for LoveGame have really got me lol it's the one thats sticking in my head the most

I've just downloaded the album and I must say that I'm a little disappointed cause most of the songs have the same beat. I can't understand why she samples herself, especially in Poker Face which is like Just Dance 2: same beats, same sound used before the chorus, same vocals. That's just me, though I enjoyed it.

The album just gets better with every song. I do agree though, it's a lot of the same beats. But if I enjoy Cascada (whose songs are very similar the same way) I can enjoy Lady GaGa, LOL.
