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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LeeWOct 13, 2009Baby food. "Lady GaGa" is a good name for it.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. -
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
-
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

-
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.
