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 23, 2012A brilliant pop album. It's been over three years since I got this album and I still love it.
-
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
-
Apr 2, 2012She is The Queen of POP Music. a Title she deserves. She has the most followers on Twitter, was the first on Facebook, Was the first to reach 1 billion, then 2 billion views on YouTube, with World records under her belt (or high heels) she is what pop music lacked. .
-
Apr 7, 2012Love this album, Lady GaGa was amazing, the singles was amazing, Poker Face was epic, LOVE this album. So, Born This Way is my favorite. The Fame Monster so amazing too.
-
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.
-
May 28, 2012One Of The Greatest Debut Albums Of All Time!
Amazing Style Of Music! -
Jun 15, 2012Inspired by dancing rhythms of the disco, the album became a hit of 2008. The star became a star. Poker Face is most popular song EVER. Album of 2000's.
-
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 -
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 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?
-
Nov 14, 2012The first album of Lady Gaga shows how good musician she is, even being a young woman. It shows her great voice and performances, i like each song because all are so great and lively and the lyrics are so funny and intertesting.
-
Dec 5, 2012I like this record but I think this is not the best record from her ( i think it's the """"""worst""""" she only got great records ). Gummy songs and Gaga has growed up and i think ARTPOP will smash others
-
Mar 11, 2013She is one of the artists who is redefining pop music. This album is all about "the fame", which can be taken literally or sarcastically, depending on how you look at it. Her voice is phenomenal and she blends many decades into one record pretty perfectly.
-
Mar 24, 2013Just A Amazing Debut! The Best Album Of 2008 Along With Katy Perry's One Of The Boys!
-
Mar 28, 2013This album was fine. "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" stood out above the rest of the tracks.
-
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.
-
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 -
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. -
Sep 4, 2020Flojisimo, de tantas canciones, todas salvo Just Dance y Paparazzi, son olvidables.
-
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...
-
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
-
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.
-

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.
-
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.....
-
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 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" -
Oct 6, 2015
-
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!!
-

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.
-
Sep 14, 2019Ambicioso ao extremo, temos uma novata na cena pop cantando sobre a fama: seus luxos e lixos. Lady Gaga consegue transformar um álbum de estréia em uma performance, dando vida ao conceito do disco através de sua própria carreira. Era apenas o começo.
-
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
-
Oct 17, 2013perfect material, perfect production, it´s an amazing pop album with a good vibe and influences, it´s fresh, funny, catchy, i could dance all night longe, lady gaga is an amazing singer and she´s so experimental, so smart with her songs, that´s why i like her music so so much good luck girl, you´re gonna so so far
-
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
-
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!
-
Nov 10, 2013Years later after release I'm still loving The Fame. It still gets me dancing! It's such a great album and it a definitely a classic. I would recommend buying this on iTunes.Every song is amazing. I guarantee this is a great album to have, that can compare to any album of today.
My Personal favorites are: Love Game, Poker Face, Just Dance, and Starstruck. -
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.
-
Oct 24, 2016As we all know Lady Gaga is the bomb. This album is the beginning of her career. It includes Poker Face and Paparazzi (among all her great songs on here). If you appreciate fine pop music, even if you are not a Lady Gaga fan, you will become one once you hear this album. It is amazing!
-
Nov 29, 2013
-
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.

Jan 12, 2014Ahh,good old Lady Gaga, it all started here,good old The Fame days, the days then Lady Gaga was new,fresh "it girl", The Fame is not bad, I would say even a good album with a many hits and few slower songs in the back, Poker Face shows this album potential it has, amazing work Lady Gaga! My first physical CD and digital album I bought and I'm very happy with that,I was satisfied!
-
Jan 31, 2014Overall great debut album, she was my 2009, highlights are just dance, poker face, paparazzi, lovegame, I like it rough, money honey, boys boys boys and brown eyes
-
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.
-
Jun 4, 2014
-
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. -
Jun 25, 2014Some songs of this album were written years ago, at the time Lady Gaga still dreamed to be a popstar, for example "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich". This prove that she's been working on music since the beginning. With 8 years old Gaga has already knew how to play piano and dance. Her first album 'The Fame" crossed many taboo and became one of the most important album in pop music!

Sep 25, 2014Definitely the game changer album of POP. Pop will never be low brow. Lady Gaga have changed the game of POP entirely, the singles are really fantastic and bops. From Just Dance to Paparazzi, I enjoyed all of them. The album will never get old. It deserved #1.
-
Jun 14, 2020One of the best debut albums of all time. Changed radio. Iconic. Standout tracks: Paparazzi, Poker Face, Paper Gangsta
-
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) -
Sep 23, 2014
-
Sep 24, 2014The Fame is an amazing album to say the least. She, at first, lacks credibility as an artist, but she convinced me with Just Dance, Poker Face and Paparazzi.
-
Sep 24, 2014This album show the world a girl who came to music to change the pop music, and the get the change in this album, this album is a complete revolution of pop music
-
Sep 24, 2014One of the greatest debut albums by an artist. The album delves into the idea of 'The Fame' to give us a narrative, filled with standout Dance-Pop anthems, touches of Disco, and R&B infused beats. The Dance fueled tracks of the album give an insight as to who Lady Gaga is, and who she is to become with a very long career ahead of her. She isn't stopping any time soon.

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.
-
Jan 21, 2015A massive breakout, a massive debut. One of the biggest releases in pop to ever exist, proves that Lady Gaga has only just begun. The music is purely perfect.
-
Feb 2, 2015This album is the ultimate pop masterpiece, it was the first album that I bought from my money in 2009 because it was too good for its time when it was released, she basically saved pop music. I still cannot stop playing it so much I'm still in love after years this album is amazing and timeless.
-
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"
-
Jul 25, 2015Good, nice and quality is as I was to The Fame. Multi danceable songs with one another ballad, Gaga shows us her debut as a reminder never to forget and be an appreciation of the good pop that is should continue and not a commercial waste as today
-
Mar 27, 2020Amazing debut album. Revolutionary! Worth listening! Great concept of Fame and all the luxuries than comes with it. Songs are cohesive.
-
Nov 4, 2015
-
Nov 21, 2015The Fame presents a raw GaGa who is in the verge of exploring the world of fame and its sub-dimensions. The songs are fresh and are reminiscent of 80's pop world.
-
Jan 17, 2018A futuristic, dancing and street's album with a 80s and 90s influence. It gets better than that all
-
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 -
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
-
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
-
Dec 24, 2017What a great debut album. I like almost every song on this album. She did a great job.
-
Sep 15, 2016Um Pop revolucionário! Simplesmente o melhor álbum Pop até a data. Eletrizante, dançante. Com elementos que lembram os anos 80. Remetendo a Madonna, Michael e inusitado David Bowie. Uma obra prima para um álbum de estréia .
-
Sep 11, 2016this is the best and the biggest album debut of all timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee im a big fan of gaga and that shows a new face of the pop music,it bring to us poker face,just dance,love game and other amazing hits and that is her 2 best album i really love that,very strong and big quality album
-
Oct 3, 2016
-
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.
-
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.
-
Apr 11, 2017Não esperava menos da RAINHA DO POP NÉ MORES. Crazy dance-syth album! so fun at parties. great lyrics, even better musicality. this album combined with her high energy stage shows result in one successful artist.
-
Jun 9, 2017Her fist album with one of the most powerful songs at her career: Paparazzi. Everybody knows Just Dance, Poker Face, Eh, Eh, and Little Monsters love Fame and Love Game, Boys, Boys, Boys, Beautiful, Dirty, Rich, and others. Queen of firsts albums!
-
Jun 9, 2017I really enjoy this album, Gaga is art, she is the best pop artist in the world.......................................................................
-
Jun 19, 2017Gaga cambió la manera de hacer musica pop desde 2008. Este álbum cuenta con gran innovación en el genero dance-pop y el concepto del álbum es muy acertado y coherente con sus letras. En el final de la decada de los 00's se tuvo una gran carencia de música pop pura, con The Fame se inció una nueva era musical.
-
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.
-
Aug 28, 2020Arguably the best debut album in history, it made pop music relevant and mainstream again and it did so with great beats, fun lyrics and eye catching music videos.
-
Apr 20, 2021hinário dance, todas as músicas tinham potencial pra ser single, simplesmente um marco
-
Jul 27, 2020O ALBÚM TROUXE DE VOLTA O DANCE PARA OS CHARTS SE CONSOLIDANDO COMO RAINHA DO POP!
-
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
-
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.

Jul 26, 2018Es un excelente álbum de principio a final; las letras, las melodías, la producción, el impacto que tuvo en la música pop, etc. hace que este álbum sea uno de los mejores y más representativos de su genero.
-
Aug 10, 2018Her best work ever. We can count the title, the lyrics that totally match the content of the album and of course the beats from the 80's. A-m-a-z-i-n-g.
-
Sep 1, 2018El álbum que cambió el pop por completo en aquellos años. Este álbum tiene hit tras hit, aunque se hecha en falta que sea más cohesivo. No hace falta decir nada más, uno de los mejores debuts de la historia.
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.
