Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster Album |REACTION|

Bad Romance: Fear of love Alejandro: Fear of men Monster: Fear of sex Speechless: Fear of alcohol Dance in the Dark: Fear of self Telephone: Fear of suffocation So Happy I Could Die: Fear of addiction Teeth: Fear of truth

So Happy I Could Die is the MOST underrated song on this album

6:40 "James Dean... i thought he's Lana Del Rey's boyfriend or something" SKSKSKSKS

"At first I thought it was Lana Del Reys boyfriend or some shit" 😂

Dance In The Dark is one of the best songs that ever existed!

james dean is in everything 😂 He was an actor from the 50s and became known as the best personification of the rebellion he died young in a car accident and became a cultural icon, he is basically the marilyn monroe man version.

THe only thing I disagree with your review is "Dance In The Dark" being not on par with the others, in my opinion is one of her most powerful songs. Not only she mentions Lady Diana, she mentions a bunch of other famous women, most of them beauty icons and actresses, who died in tragic ways - Marilyn (Monroe, who died of overdose), Judy (Garland, also self-inflicted overdose), Sylvia (Plath, suicide), and (Jon)Benet Ramsey (a six year old beauty pageant who was brutally murdered back in the 90's). It stresses how much their voices, now silenced, won't be anymore in girls (and boys too) who are going through similar experiences, and that they do not need to have the same tragic ends these women and girls had. "Find your freedom in the music (...) You will never fall appart, Diana you're still in our hearts. Never let you fall appart, Together we'll dance in the dark.") And the song is not only about someone pointing out someone's body in a negative way so much this person dislikes to have sex with the lights on ("Baby loves to dance in the dark, 'Cause when he's lookin' she falls appart."), it is about the insecurities inflicted in women in general by society and the industry, creating problems where there are none ("Silicone, Saline, Poison, Inject me" / "She looks good but her boyfriend says she's a mess, (...) Now the girl is stressed.") and how this destroys people's lives. You said this would be a song that wouldn't be as successful today, but I will have to disagree, exactly because of the times we are today, with all the feminist / LGBTQ+ movements gaining so much voice and power. Not to mention, "Dance in the Dark" has the sample of freaking awesome (and tacky) George Michael's "Careless Whisper" at the begining, which somehow is a reference to Gaga's own song about "dancing in the dark" ("I'm never gonna dance again, Guilty feet have got no rhythm, Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool"). Sorry for the long comment lol, I am really defensive with Dance in the Dark, that song is a masterpiece in my opinion, though I really love the Fame Monster in general <3 But really, other than that, I have to say this reaction was AWESOME and that you should totally react to the videoclip of "Telephone" because that shit is hilarious and it is amazing to this day and also so full of random eferences from pop culture! xD

Fun fact: Telephone was written by Gaga for Britney Spears' 6th album Circus

fun fact: gaga wrote speechless about her father. her dad needed some type of surgery, and gaga wrote this song to convince him to get the surgery. 💖

So Happy I could Die is about being so high/drunk that you could die but it's alright because you feel so happy when intoxicated even if it's killing you.

People can call Lady Gaga a flop all that they want, but there is no denying the fact that "The Fame Monster" changed the world forever. Music in 2008 was simply a smaller place. Event albums were scarce, music videos were dwindling in relevance, and award shows were almost uniformly boring. Stars like Beyonce and Rihanna were beginning to push at pop's walls a little bit, but weren't yet at the place of completely breaking the mold. The EDM boom, and accompanying explosion in festival culture were still a couple years away. Something big really needed to happen. It didn't take long for Lady Gaga to prove that she was the asteroid pop music was begging to have crash through it. Debut single "Just Dance" topped the Hot 100 for three weeks in early 2009, and "Poker Face" made her two-for-two a couple months later. Before long, this sexually ambiguous club diva with mainstream pop smarts, and underground grit was the biggest thing in Top 40 just in time for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where her surreal, macabre performance of new single "Paparazzi" scalped us all of our edges. And of course, the videos. "Paparazzi" proved her most striking visual to date, ante upped later that year with the landing of the "Bad Romance" clip, an extraterrestrial odyssey that proved instantly iconic, in a way videos weren't supposed to be anymore. Best of all was "Telephone," in which Gaga was joined by Beyoncé for a ten-minute, high-art-infused, road-tripping hodgepodge of Tarantino, Thelma & Louise and Japanese TV that became the first event video of the 2010s. Gaga celebrated her coronation as the franchise player of 21st-century MTV (and YouTube) by wearing a meat dress to the '10 VMAs, and finally Millennials had a pop star who could hold her own against Madonna and Michael Jackson. She took American mainstream music at one of its least-interesting and most star-power-deprived moments and made it bigger, weirder, more visual and infinitely more personality-driven -- in other words, much more fun. Lady Gaga is one of the female artists (the other two being Britney Spears, and Madonna) who made the music industry what it is today. ⚡✝🔻🔵🎺👒 #PutYourPawsUp

So Happy I Could die is a contradiction. It's about relying on alcohol and drugs to be happy, she's wasted (so happy) while being depressed (i could die). Each song is a "Fear". This one is fear of addiction. The production and vocals in the chorus are purposely mellow and monotonous to contradict how happy the lyrics sound. GENIUS WOMAN

I loved how you said "The Queen Lady Gaga"

FIRST OF ALL WE SCREAM "YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" AND THUMBS UP. SECOND: WE WATCH THE VIDEO

"Who is this James Dean? He looks like any other white boy I've seen." triggered xD

The fact that all these songs could drop today and still bop & dominate the charts. An icon .

So Happy I Could Die is literally my favorite song EVER. Like by any artist, it's my favorite. Honestly, The Fame and the whole Monster reissue altogether is probably my favorite album of all time.
