Tracks Included: Bad Romance, Alejandro, Monster, Speechless, Dance in the Dark, Telephone, So Happy I Could Die, Teeth
Critical Evaluation: In Lady Gaga's second studio album, she cements her role as a here to stay pop icon. Her over the top personal and performance style have made her an irrepresible force on the music scene but it is in her powerful vocals that she separates herself from other acts. With her writing quality and truly impressive voice, she doesn't need to rely on the visual tricks she includes in her life, but they are no firmly a part of her act. The stand out hits from this album include the catchy dance tune Bad Romance, the power song Alejandro and the sure to be dance club staple Telephone, a duet with another pop icon, Beyonce. Not every song is an instant hit but there are enough solid songs here to make it a good album to add to your collection. Lady Gaga has the goods, and with it you get all the trappings of fame.
Listener's Annotation: Featuring smash hit Bad Romance, it's another hit machine from Lady Gaga!
