Yes, I realise that Lady Gaga's debut is long-since released, number one-d and on its way down the charts again. But I never reviewed it, and now I feel bad :(
You see, over the past fortnight, I've totally fallen in love with Just Dance. From Lady G's rallying call of "red wi-ine" at the start to the brilliant lyric that is "I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore".
Is it an anthem? I'm beginning to suspect it it.
As for the lady herself, there's no denying that Gaga is a slightly trashier version of Christina Aguilera, right down to those big doe eyes. And as for the video, well we've seen plenty of house parties in pop videos before, but why does this one remind me of a sinister version of one of Mika's videos?
Anyway, top bloody marks to Gaga and her mate Colby O'Donis (surely not an Irish name?) for an excellent debut single. She's got our attention now, hasn't she? Can't wait to see what comes next!
