Aug 15, 2013I love Lady Gaga. This album is truly amazing. You can listen to it at any time, and the upbeat tracks will cheer you up immediately. Definitely a must buy.
-
Nov 13, 2013I was not a Gaga fan until I saw her "Fame Ball" tour and then it all changed. She channels a fresh pop sensibility into each track. Her knowing of how to energize a crowd will surely give her longevity.
-
Dec 30, 2013She has everything to be a star in pop music. "The Fame" is one of the best debut albums of the decade. "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Paparazzi" and "Brown Eyes" are my most recommended songs. Lady Gaga gave a new breath to pop culture with this fresh music but certainly she needs to polish herself a little bit more as an artist and explore all the talent she has to be on top.
-
Sep 23, 2014The best dance pop I ever heard. The synths and the bass sounds so amazing and live is so good. My Favorites:
1 - Poker Face
2 - Just Dance
3 - Paparazzi
4 - Brown Eyes
5 - Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) -
May 6, 2016A great album, with great writing, great production, the duo Gaga/RedOne proved to be hit-makers, but in the end, you want a bit more... which you can find on The Fame Monster. But this is still a great debut album.
-
Nov 2, 2018A great debut album with a modern sound and fresh ideas, its no wonder the album performed so well. Favourites include Poker Face, Paparazzi, Paper Gangsta, Eh Eh and Summer Boy
-
May 29, 2020A welcome debut for Lady Gaga. Minimal skips and a textured look at newfound fame.
-
Mar 4, 2017THE GREATEST DEBUT ALBUM BY A FEMALE THIS CENTURY. Lady Gaga brought a new sound into pop culture and changed the music world completely. No matter what everyone says, Lady Gaga joins Madonna and Britney Spears as one of the best biggest female pop icons of all time.

May 30, 2020True break to the traditionally. This album is filled with soulful pop songs. This album is massively apart of my childhood.
-
Aug 6, 2020Gli ottimi esordi di Lady Gaga, musica promettente che ha aperto la strada a un artista di spessore.
-
Aug 28, 2020Uno de los mejores álbumes debut de la historia. Tiene canciones míticas en su carrera como Just dance, paparazzi o poker face y aunque el sonido de algunas canciones ya se ha pasado un poco de moda, sigue sonando igual de bien. Es divertido, pegadizo, fresco e innovador y con este disco consiguió su objetivo de revivir el fenómeno pop de masas.

May 26, 2011The album is great with several standout tracks, but does not come close to the amazing "The Fame Monster" and "Born This Way". It is, however, exactly what she needed to get noticed.

Mar 19, 2012A fun dance-pop album, very overplayed but still enjoyable. It will certainly have you singing along, whilst it may lack some depth, it certainly doesn't diminish the albums amazing songs.
-
Mar 20, 2012This is a good debut album with catchy and fun songs. Gaga has a great voice and knows how to use it.
By far this album is better than "Born This Way", but no better than "The Fame Monster" -
Mar 26, 2012The Fame, despite having quite a lot of filler, is a good debut album from Lady Gaga. It's full of happy tracks which make you want to dance your butt to all night long. It's not perfect, far from it. Gaga does it better when she extended it, but it's quite a good start nonetheless

Dec 16, 2014The worst album it sincerely a fully commercial album, the songs have quality but it seems that focused only on making an album to the slopes and forget the rest, and the ballads are bad, but evaluating the tracks individually is umbom album, good to listen and have fun.
Highlights: LoveGame and Just Dance
Lows: Brown Eyes and Again Again -
Dec 30, 2015Gaga estreia no mundo da música nos dando um álbum bom, mas que não impressiona. Com músicas boas (algumas ótimas), os singles foram bem escolhidos e fizeram muito sucesso.
Pontos altos: Paparazzi, Poker Face, Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
Pontos baixos: Money Honey, Disco Heaven, Boys Boys Boys -
Oct 23, 2016Um bom álbum, mostra claramente uma grande estrela pop em ascenção. The Fame é um bom álbum de estreia para Gaga, bem radiofônico, bem pop clean, com vocais de 'menininha', com várias músicas hits como Poker Face, Paparazzi, Just Dance, Summerboy e Starstruck. Porém, enjoa fácil.

Jun 20, 2019In their debut material the pop star features tracks that work, smartly, alone. Going on a Disco vibe we clearly see an influence of "Confessions On A Dance Floor" very well used
-
May 22, 2019Em seu debut, Gaga consegue construir um trabalho coeso e interessante. The Fame expressa o potencial da artista e sua capacidade de entreter.

May 25, 2012This a good, solid album of hers. It does have a lot of catchy songs. But it still lacks the impact that I want to have, although, I understand that this is her first album. But this is still a great way to start her career.....
-
Aug 11, 2011THE FAME isn't perfect; it could use some work, such as better singing and a lot like that, but it's pretty catchy, and it's a solid start to Lady Gaga's career.
-
Mar 8, 2012I don't be a biggest fan of Lady Gaga, but some of her songs are good, this is a good album, with some good songs, and this style is ingenious (but some strange for me), the voice of Gaga is good, a good CD.
-
Mar 28, 2013This album was fine. "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" stood out above the rest of the tracks.
-

Apr 3, 2015I'm not as fond of this album as critics are. It's a solid debut from Lady Gaga, but I feel as if the majority of this album is dull synthpop from RedOne among others with not-so-creative lyrics. This earns the album a B-. Highlights: "Paparazzi", "Starstruck", "LoveGame". Worst song: "Summerboy"
-
Aug 15, 2017i like this album but i think its one of gaga's worsts projects, taking off "poker face", "paparazzi", "lovegame", "just dance" and "summerboy", i think the album is so forgattable

Feb 13, 2021With her debut album, Gaga shows us that she knows how to make a hit, but still failures in delivering cohesion.
Top Track: Poker Face
Worst Track: Paper Gangsta -

Feb 1, 2023One half of the album is great, the other half is the opposite. An album fitting for Gaga, but quite boring.
-
May 24, 2011Gaga's debut shows her talent in catchy yet simple Poker Face and Just Dance. Though with songs like Eh, Eh, Disco Heaven, Again Again and Brown Eyes is falls to flat from being a masterpiece.
-
Jul 31, 2011I'll give a lot of credit to Lady Gaga; she writes/produces her own music which is more than can be said for most of the pop industry. And there are one or two songs where she actually shows how great her voice is instead of smothering it in cacophonous beats and monotonous pseudo-singing.
-
Aug 14, 2011Even though she has 6-7 uber-mega hits, a different personality and different fashion, I cannot see anything more. Yes, I'm a gaga fan but next to fame monster and BTW, this just bubbly pop. I love 3-4 of the songs but rest, nah.
-
Mar 17, 2012Strengths: compelling listen, great for working out, perfect for dance parties etc.
Weaknesses: too suggestive, overly dirty, can't relate much, repetitive and contrived sound after a while, etc. -
Mar 24, 2014This album just isn't her best. Yeah, it's a debut album, but it could be better produced and edited. However, there are still 4 or 5 songs that are quite enjoyable to my ears.
-
Jul 5, 2022there are couple songs that i can enjoy but this album is my least best lady gaga album.
-
Jun 25, 2012This album is full of "catchy" songs about fame. Its influential, but in the wrong direction. Highlights: Eh Eh Nothing That I Can Say
Lowlights: Gaga's autotuned/robotic vocals
4/10 -
Sep 4, 2020Flojisimo, de tantas canciones, todas salvo Just Dance y Paparazzi, son olvidables.
-
Jul 21, 2018If you thought that this would be a pop masterpiece then you were wrong and is that despite not being bad Gaga did not fulfill what was promised to be the album of the decade
-
PedroPDec 21, 2008Lady GaGa is another one hit wonder. When I first saw her I thought she had a wicked style, but when I heard her I thought she was a disaster. "Just Dance" has a likeable sound but when you look closer, you see it's pretty much another "Madonna gone wild" moment.
-
-
Nov 20, 2012Come on people, you can't think that this album is actually good! The lyrics don't tell the listener anything and the music is only electronic music, which is, however, not so bad. But The Fame is just another stupid pop album. The idea of catchy dance pop songs only adds up three times. The rest is quite poor stuff and you really don't have to listen to this album.
-
Feb 13, 2017Eu amo a gaga, mas esse album é horrivel, minha casa explodiu, só presta os singles, serio muito ruim aaaaaaaaaaaa, gaga rainha mas nao da pra defender esse e o seu pior trabalho
-
KTOct 30, 2008I love great dance music but this is definitely not it. She can write a great chorus, but with production values this low and verses this flat she has a long way to go before she lives up to her marketing hype.
-
-
DanielleL.Jan 5, 2009The beat's are catchy enough, but the lyrics in all of her songs are utterly repulsive. Her Christmas tree song, while "supposedly" about Christmas, hence the title, is just about being a skank at a party, just like every other damn song on this album.
-
-
JayNov 20, 2009Pure hype! lyrics like "don't be bluffin with my muffin" are laughabley bad. It's geared towards the 15yr old girls who like the hills and singing along with sugar coated pop hooks. Everything on the charts is synth/pop/dance driven, without heart or soul like most of the 80's music was.
-
-
RanelNov 4, 2009The only redeeming song is "Just Dance". Other than that the songs are not appealing or will annoy you if you listened to it over and over again.
-

SamanthaSep 6, 2009Boring drivel and repetitive beats. I've heard it all before.

Mar 26, 2017Extremely shallow, even for a pop record. The production is fine in a few tracks, that's why I gave it 1 point. The lyrics, the themes, the voice... Just bad.
Papparazzi is a very nice song and Just Dance is ok. The rest of it... nah. -
JuliaA.Apr 8, 2009Crap, fake, boring and it all came from an exhibitionist woman.
-
-
ZachDApr 10, 2009Possibly the worst, most annoying music I've ever heard. Terrible song writing and weird vocal effects make it just plain painful to listen to. Fingernails on a chalk board would have been better.
-
-
JeffBJun 25, 2009Forced to listen to this once at a party. I want that hour of my life back. It was horrible horrible horrible. How can you write an album about being famous before you are famous? I don't know but apparently someone did anyway.
-
-
MichaelMay 3, 2009Absolute garbage, awful lyrics that could be written by a 13 year old and music that sounds like countless other shallow pop acts in the mainstream right now. 'The Fame' is only going to last 15 minutes as she goes out of fashion just like countless other disposable popstars. Do yourself a favour and listen to music with substance. Her music is plastic, Her image is plastic.
-
-
LeeWOct 13, 2009Baby food. "Lady GaGa" is a good name for it.
-
-
ChrisCApr 11, 2009Would probably like her more if the radio didn't blow her up and force them in my face. A lot of times her singing style is EXTREMELY annoying especially during the verses, and honestly, pop has enough albums. I don't care how many #1's she has. She's crap.
-
-
MaxL.Jun 24, 2009Bad music, fake, boring.
-
-
Jun 27, 2012Very overrated. She has a great voice but just doesnt use it as it should be used. The album was rushed and cheaply produced. Was expecting a lot better. Dont waste your money.
-
Dec 3, 2013A half electropop album mouth that piggybacked on the Blackout by Britney Spears. Gaga tries to get influences from David Bowie to merge with their pop music, but fails in the attempt. The Fame is showing a frustrating and extremely pretentious debut.
-
Dec 16, 2020A estreia dela ate começou bem, mas copiou os looks da Gwen Stefani e Kylie Minogue, como sempre a Lady Xerox.
-
Jul 25, 2020Asco. Urge cancelación para ella y sus fans que son unas ratas. Urge exterminarla
-
Aug 29, 2020Coragem ter que ter para ouvir algo tão ruim. As poucas faixas boas foram as que ficaram conhecidas.
-
Jan 10, 2021Me encanta este album las mejores canciones de Lady Gaga y la mejor artista del mundo es la reina del pop si que lo es
Awards & Rankings
-
Fueled by heavy dance tracks and popping electronic beats, The Fame, the first album by the glamorous Lady Gaga, is a well-crafted sampling of feisty anti-pop in high quality.
-
The full-length The Fame proves she's more than one hit and a bag of stage tricks.
-
Listen a little closer to the sly, snarky lyrics and glam grooves on this feisty debut and you'll hear that this former downtown New York spice girl has at least a few things on her dirty mind.
