Here's how I think the rest of the singles should go: 3. Alejandro 4. Monster If there's a 5th: DITD or So Happy... Pretty much the best way to go. Speechless is pretty good, but a single? No.

At first Speechless didn't impress me, but listening to it again, it's growing on me.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on the EP. He ate my heart <3 I can understand why Bad Romance was considered the first single, it's by far the strongest song here, even though I don't like how it samples bits from her past songs I can see why it was the first one out. I love Monster, just for the "he ate my heart" bit, it's a little overly busy but it has that kind of vulnerability to it that I really identify with from her. I am disappointed in "Dance In The Dark" and "Speechless" because those were the ones I really was interested in and they just don't work. Speechless is too stage-y, campy and over the top while Dance In The Dark recycles the worst aspects of the 80's and 90's euro-dance-pop movement. Combine that with the wannabe Madonna rap that is found with Vogue and the trite lyrics and it just doesn't amount to the sum of it's parts the way it should of. Just not feeling it. I feel the same way about Alejandro, though it is higher in quality then Speechless and Dance In The Dark, I feel it lacks the hooky punch of most of her singles but the violin is gorgeous for the most part, and of course the "you know that I love you boy". Don't care for "So Happy I Could Die" either it's just there for the most part. Teeth is just abysmal. 1. Bad Romance 2. Monster 3. Alejandro 4. Telephone 5. Dance In The Dark 6. So Happy I Could Die 7. Speechless 8. Teeth The only song here that really impresses me is "Monster" which is just amazing in that it blends her song PokerFace/JustDance/LoveGame sound in with her more vulnerable and emotive Paparazzi side. It's amazing in that aspect of it, and I love the lyrics "he ate my heart" will go up there with "I'll follow you until you love me" for me. I could care less about anything else on the EP though. I think it's obvious why BR was the first single, it's the strongest song on here. I will praise her for trying to do different kinds of songs though. However I do feel she works best in the dance genre. Songs like Speechless, Teeth, Alejandro just don't work for her for the most part.

1. Telephone (Love the slow intro the 3 part chorus Beyonce's part PERFECTION) 2. Bad Romance (Great Verses, Great Chorus 3. Alejandro (used to love this but it burns fast.) 4. Dance In The Dark (Had to grow on me but I love the concept and the song) 5. So Happy I Could Die (Loved this instantly will probably go up in my favorites) 6. Teeth- (I just love the vibe to this one but its the same throughout the whole song) 7. Monster (Was looking forward to this track, underwhelming. Good verses Bad Chorus) 8. Speechless ( Reminds me of another song maybe some Beatles song or another song but this is not very good maybe it will grow on me)
I love 5/8 and like 7/8 Good job Gaga!

If she wasn't a visual artist before the BR video she definitely is one now.

I love this. So much. I couldn't even tell you what my favorite song is because I love everything! Well, except for Speechless. Reminds me of Brown Eyes off The Fame and I never warmed up to that one.
Yeah, Dance In The Dark is ridiculous but the song so addictive for me. Everything comes to together, the production and the over the top lyrics compliment each other nicely. It just works so well. But I can tell I'm in the minority on that one.
The production on Alejandro is fantastic. This one stuck in my brain for days after I heard it.
Monster had me at "he ate my heart". Mo-Mo-Mo-Monster! This is another one I'm going to have on repeat.
Telephone is a smash waiting to happen.
Teeth is neat. I like it. It seems like a grower.
Now, it's a official, I'm a fan.

i don't get the general discontent with 'Speechless'. It's so soulful and unique (at least to me). It moves me a lot more than Monster or Dance in the dark or even Alejandro.

^ Alejandro needs to be the 3rd single I feel. It'd be a disgrace to The Fame Monster era if it wasn't made a single.

Alejandro shouldn't be released, it's burn rate is too fast.

Telephone and Monster are the obvious single choices after Romance. Agreed! Am I the only one who LOVES 'Teeth?' Love her voice on that track (very Christina-esque, IMO), it's not single material, but I love it! My order of favorites: 1. Bad Romance 2. Monster 3. Telephone 4. Dance In The Dark 5. Teeth 6. Alejandro 7. So Happy I Could Die 8. Speechless

How long does an EP has to be? She could have passed this off as an LP. I'm sure.

What's the tracklisting for The Fame disc in the deluxe edition for the USA? On Wikipedia, it says that "Disco Heaven" and "Again, Again" will be tacked onto the end, but it doesn't specify which territories.
