BTW is "pretentious" Gaga thinks NME is pretentious




UK mag NME have declared her latest album to be the most pretentious in history - but Lady Gaga reckons the joke is on them.

The rock magazine called Gaga's Born This Way the 'Most Pretentious Album Ever' in a recent blog post, leaving the kooky singer's Kermit suit in a twist.

Oh the irony of winning "Most Pretentious Album Ever" from none other than NME. *eyeroll* I might laugh forever + then return to narcissism

— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) February 23, 2012

Gaga's anthemic set beat out albums by Lou Reed, Metallica and Kiss for the top spot in their "10 Most Pretentious Albums Ever" list.

"For a while Gaga was the most exciting pop star on the planet," read the blog.

"Then on Born This Way she seemed to believe in her own hype, convinced that she had a message to share. Cue an album of unwieldy 'anthems' that couldn’t mask the fact the fun had left the building."

Gaga is also up for 'Villain Of The Year' and 'Worst Album' for Born This Way at the NME Awards next week - do you think they're being a bit hard on her?

BTW was not good. I can only name you two or three songs I liked.

i love Heavy Metal Lover and a good # of the songs on it, but not all

RIP The Fame Monster days

Love Heavy Metal Lover! I did not like any of the singles she decided to release, except maybe Edge of Glory.

IA on The Fame Monster, such a great album
swissbeauty23 1st-Mar-2012 06:26 am (UTC)
yeah I was disappointed with the BTW singles too

The Fame Monster is amazing. if she makes more music like that, she's gravy imo.

btw I know everyone says this to you but I love that Shawn icon of yours. best Boy Meets World episode ever tbh.

Yea, If Gaga can do a part two of that album, she will forever be in my good graces.

Hehe Thank You! One of my fave episodes ever as well as the horror movie homage episode.
swissbeauty23 1st-Mar-2012 06:31 am (UTC)
the horror/Scream parody episode was fab

I also have a soft spot for the episode where Cory & Shawn turn Feeny's house into a bed & breakfast ngl
je_blagues 1st-Mar-2012 06:36 am (UTC)
OMG I remember that one! That was a good one. Also the plays with squirrels episode. That one was amazing.

TBH, That whole show was amazing, I could go on about it forever.
swissbeauty23 1st-Mar-2012 06:37 am (UTC)
omg College!Eric is amazing

i love how he transformed from the douchey older brother into Total and Complete Lovable Moron

ikr? i was so attracted to Shawn as a kid and that definitely kept me watching, but it was so much more than that. it was just so genuinely funny and fun.

1 of the reasons it is not a commercial success imo is b/c every1 was v divided about what songs they liked. thats whut i noticed when i'd go into posts. sum ppl wuld be like, "i like x,y,z songs" and then others wuld be like "NO THOSE R GODAWFUL, only i,k,j songs r qt!!!" so none of her singles were universally appealing 2 all fans

smh @ those vectors

IA, the album was all over the place.

I am not a huge gaga fan, but I appreciate what she does, so I never really listened to what people said about the songs.
a_modollface 1st-Mar-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
accurate. this is why none of the singles performed well (although the single choices were definitely underwhelming)
ms_firecrotch 1st-Mar-2012 07:06 am (UTC)
i thought the whole album was good minus two or three tracks. but then again, i like when pop artists get experimental and try different sounds. i mean, you don't hear anything like schessie or government hooker being done by anyone else in her genre
amy_ra 1st-Mar-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)
I always thought Government Hooker sounds exactly like that Gimme More song by Britney Spears.

Scheisse and You and I were the two I liked. I really wished she'd make a video for Teeth.

the album was good. I liked it. it was fun and cool. I just think it was promoted and marketed wrong. It all got tired very fast.
