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.
-
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.
-
Sep 4, 2020Flojisimo, de tantas canciones, todas salvo Just Dance y Paparazzi, son olvidables.
-
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 -
Jul 3, 2022The best debut album in the history of pop music! No bad songs, only fantastic songs that always get you dancing no matter what mood you in. LUV It!.
-
Dec 4, 2016What an incredible album. Lady Gaga brought pop music back to life. It has pretty much everything a pop album needs. It's upbeat, sexy, well sang, well produced and most of all - memorable. It'll rightfully remain one of music's most important debuts.
-
Oct 30, 2018Fun album, almost every song deserved to be a single. Bops and fun songs non stop. A massive debut.
-
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.
-
May 29, 2020A welcome debut for Lady Gaga. Minimal skips and a textured look at newfound fame.
-
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"
-
Feb 1, 2023One half of the album is great, the other half is the opposite. An album fitting for Gaga, but quite boring.
-
May 28, 2012One Of The Greatest Debut Albums Of All Time!
Amazing Style Of Music! -

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 -
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.
-
May 4, 2015JT's best album so far hands down and better than part 1 without any doubts .
Give me what i dont know Murder True Blood Amnesia are the kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk -

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 -
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
-

Mar 24, 2013Just A Amazing Debut! The Best Album Of 2008 Along With Katy Perry's One Of The Boys!
-
Nov 2, 2013Between Poker Face, Just Dance and Nothing Else I Can Say, you'll feel that this album has been in your head forever. That's not necessarily a bad thing :P
-
Dec 16, 2020A estreia dela ate começou bem, mas copiou os looks da Gwen Stefani e Kylie Minogue, como sempre a Lady Xerox.
-
Feb 28, 2017No better way than to start an album with five excellent songs!!! And since it becomes much more great!!! Perfect album, perfect debut for Gaga!!! Perfection!!
-
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
-
Mar 28, 2013This album was fine. "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" stood out above the rest of the tracks.
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Jan 6, 2015Álbum dos Hits Just Dance, Love Game, Paparazzi e Poker Face. Mas amo The Fame e Retro, Dance, Freak são perfeitas, a Sonoridade de I Like It Rough, é muito boa. esse é um ótimo Álbum de estreia.

Aug 6, 2019Dificilmente você encontrará alguém que nunca tenha ouvido Poker Face ou Just Dance. Gaga trouxe hits memoráveis e atemporais. Love Game e Paparazzi são, sem dúvidas, as minhas preferidas. Uma junção de sonoridade viciante + clipes memoráveis.
-
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.
-

Mar 27, 2020I love this album. It's sometimes very dark, and sometimes very bright. Sometimes is just Gaga and piano, and sometimes it's lots of production. It's very good album, and definitively the best Gaga album so far!
-

Nov 27, 2010The Fame is my 2009's favorite album. No songs are boring. It makes u feel u are famous. It is catchy and danceable pop album. It also touches a glimpse of Rock 'n' Roll. It made me shift from Rock to Pop. So far, the best pop album since 2003 releases.
-
Jun 20, 2014E ela veio pra salvar a música pop com esse album,trazer de volta a graça que se tinha perdido.
Não é a toa que já vendeu mais de 20 milhões de cópias. -
Dec 24, 2017What a great debut album. I like almost every song on this album. She did a great job.
-
Sep 20, 2019One of the best selling albums ever was released by unknown girl named Lady Gaga. Nobody could now that after years she still will be so popular. Her next releases will become even more cooler and after years she will be saving pop music. But I rate this album 9, because some songs seem boring and Gaga could replace them.
-
Nov 7, 2020This album is unforgettable! The birth of one of the most iconic artists of the millennium! We'll never forget the smash-hit "Poker Face". Amazing album, amazing artist, and an amazing debut.
-
Mar 19, 2021Listen 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.
-
Sep 10, 2011This is the Gaga we all liked. Not this freak, horn-implanted "woman" releasing songs that make her sound like the Anti-Christ. "Poker Face", "Eh Eh" and "Brown Eyes" are the best tracks of her career.
-
Nov 16, 2020iconic pop debut. a pop QUEEN. the best pop album of the 2000s. she did for the gays.
-
May 23, 2011It's like getting in an artsy club that plays something that's a sort of high class dance pop experiment going from silly (LoveGame) to epic (Poker Face) to hypnotic (Starstruck) to actually fun (Summerboy). You "Just Dance" as expected but as you leave the ecstatic club, you can't help but return.
-
Jan 28, 2023The best debut album the world have seen. Gaga refined pop music new and put it on a new level. She was so young when she stared and is still carrying the music industry. Legend!
-
Apr 26, 2012Gaga made a great first album. All of her singles were solid hits. I had the Fame Monster which was really good. Her songs are poppy, yet creative. She has a great voice to back it all up with.
-
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
-
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.
-
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 9, 2021Great album! Really fun and danceable tracks. Deserved the Grammy. My favorites are Just Dance and Paparazzi.
-
Dec 18, 2022This could be the debut of all time. Gaga's sound is amazing. This album is a timeless masterpiece. My favorite songs are Just Dance, Paparazzi, Poker Face, Eh Eh, I Like It Rough.
-
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.
-

Aug 16, 2017Pues es un álbum sumamente pop, muy comercial, muy Gaga, y es que ella llegó para cambiar las reglas del juego, este es el álbum que cambio todo. Sin duda alguna Gaga se ganó el corazón de todos con esta gran joya.

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.
-
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
-
Dec 6, 2010The Fame is like, you don't know what it's music but, then you hear it and you realize of what is music. The Fame is just amazing, should be the album of the year.
-
Nov 24, 2021Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference...
-
Dec 26, 2019El mejor Album debut de todos los tiempos sonidos revolucionarios y una gran obra maestra wow Gaga es una Diosa
-
Oct 13, 2013amazing album, she managed to create an album electopop iconic, one of the best albums of recent years, the electronic sound mixed with pop and fashion made a success of THE FAME
-
Jul 2, 2019This is a very good pop album, it has a timeless songs and icons hits like pokerface, paparazzi, and just dance, 10 songs are excellent, 4 are good, the lyrics are cheesy, this electro pop is amazing. You will enjoy and love this album.

Nov 5, 2013Un gran album debut, tiene canciones muy bailables que mezclan la fama con el amor, ademas tiene canciones que te recordaran tiempos memorables como los 80's!

-
Oct 21, 2010
-
Nov 25, 2010She's pretty good. There are several misses on the album but overall, a solid debut. I think she released the best songs as singles, but I also think Starstruck and I Like it Rough are standouts.

Aug 29, 2020For me it's the biggest debut album in the history of POP. Poker Face is the highlight of this album. Paparazzi gave us Lady Gaga's best performance. Nothing could compare.

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.....
-
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.
-
Sep 3, 2012Is there any thing that's not on this disc from heaven. Surpassing other artists suck as Britney Spears and Beyonce, GaGa has outdone The Beatles and Queen with uptempo grooves like Just Dance and Poker Face alongside the most touching song ever: Brown Eyes. Is there something she can't do?
-
Feb 2, 2018"The Fame" was Lady Gaga's debut back in 2008, this album made everyone in the music industry step up their game and start pushing boundaries. Truly a piece of modern art that started a new era along with the digital sales.
-
Jan 10, 2020Álbum injustiçado merecia muitos grammys lendário e atemporal uma obra de arte
-
Mar 23, 2012Overrtaed a shell, though this album have some good songs!

-
Jul 25, 2020Asco. Urge cancelación para ella y sus fans que son unas ratas. Urge exterminarla
-
Jun 7, 2011"Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" is catchy but poorly written. "Disco Heaven" is boring and lifeless. The rest of the album is pretty solid. Her second best song ever after "Alejandro" is the unforgettable "Paparazzi".
-
Feb 24, 2012Ir is brilliant !
-
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 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
-
Nov 4, 2021The most impactful and iconic and legendary debut album in the history of humanity. No one has come close to top this album and it remains a true inspiration to artist all over the world. It’s just amazing how everything Gaga does is pure gold. A pop bible.
-
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. -
Dec 15, 2013
-
Jun 14, 2020One of the best debut albums of all time. Changed radio. Iconic. Standout tracks: Paparazzi, Poker Face, Paper Gangsta
-
Jan 30, 2016Vibrant and unique. Besides being a great alternative to pop music fans, "The Fame" induced a whole mass of artists to focus on dance music. Full of hits and simple and agile beats, "The Fame" can win you the visual and music - even the most retro, which can be less good. Enjoy!
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.
