Single Review: Lady Gaga – Bad Romance (Universal/Polydor)

Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' is reviewed as classic Gaga, with big synths, autotuned vocals and lyrics about craving an abusive relationship.

Let's get this out of the way first, shall we? Lady Gaga - you either love her or hate her - but generally, she is a big pain in the ass. I don't know. Maybe it's jealousy because she's doing the pop thing right, or maybe it's genuine annoyance down to the fact that she is clearly a bit mental. Nevertheless, she has tons of fans all over the world, and that's either because the industry's in the shitter or she actually has something relevant to say about where pop should be right now. 'Bad Romance' is classic Gaga, though - big stomping synths, an autotuned voice and some lyrics about how great it is to crave an abusive relationship (PS - Stephenie Meyer, take note). Hmmm.
