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.

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

Born This Way (2011). My fave Gaga album with my two fave songs. And this was the soundtrack to València Round One.

Best Songs: Marry the Night, Hair

Hot Take: I don't like the original title track, but I like the country roads version.

Artpop (2013). Gaga has an uncanny way of releasing albums for new stages of my life, and Artpop was the soundtrack to my first year in Bilbao. Probably my second fave of hers.

Fave Songs: Gypsy, Dope, Aura, Artpop.

I don't even have a copy of Swine nor Jewlz and Drugz or whatever it's called though since I don't like either of them at all.
