The Fame (2008). My neurodivergent avoidance of popular things meant I tried to avoid Lady Gaga when I had never even heard her...or realised I heard her. That Poker Face song I loved turned out to be Lady Gaga, and she quickly became my second fave after Mariah.

Fave Songs: Poker Face, Just Dance, Lovegame, Eh Eh (Nothing I Can Say) (Ok, I don't know what songs are actually on which version of The Fame because I sailed the seven seas living in Spain)

Hot Take: Paparazzi is the best VIDEO (not song) of her entire career.

#LadyGaga

The Fame Monster (2009). So many memories of that horrible year in Madrid and the unrequited crush on Spanish Cohen...and then in 2010 saw her for the first time at the Monster Ball on my birthday when she sang "Happy birthday" which was obviously JUST FOR ME.

Best Song: Alejandro

Fun fact: My version of Telephone is solo...xD
