 Another hit for Lady Gaga January 23, 2010
wintersongs (The Golden State, USA)
Lady Gaga has a serious knack for coming up with fun melodies and a feel-good beat, even on a song with a dark content like "Bad Romance." Having said that, her voice is low and rich and a treat to listen to. I've heard some of her other songs ("Poker Face," "Lovegame," "Eh Eh," "Just Dance," "Paparazzi") and her singing on this song is by far my favorite. I love that she sings in her lower register, which completely fits the dark and bizarre mood of the lyrics. But she still manages to accompany the lyrics with a fun, upbeat melody and romping production that hook the listener in. Brilliant.
The original...uncensored! January 4, 2010

Very catchy, fun tune---fantastic work-out song, just like most of Lady Gaga's other stuff. Unlike the album version currently being sold, this version is uncensored.

Commanding song, fantastic voice full of character, how can you not want to sing along and get up and dance? She pushes the envelope just shy of too much, and does it with so much style and catchiness. She is one of a kind and she totally rocks!
 A Re-worked Version Of Poker Face: November 21, 2009

It's a bit disappointing to see a recording artist do this kind of thing -- Bad Romance is obviously a re-worked version of Poker Face -- I really would have liked to hear something truly new. Both songs (Poker Face & Bad Romance) clock-in at 119 beats per minute, both are in the key of Am, both have the same producer, the "m-m-m-ma" of Poker Face is plainly re-worded into new (but similar) jabberwocky and placed next to the chorus as if a Poker Face cookie-cutter was all one needed to ship platinum anymore....
It's clear that Gaga is a fan of movie director Alfred Hitchcock: she sings, "I want your PSYCHO, your VERTIGO schtik, want you in my REAR WINDOW..." I don't know if this was intentional or not -- the naming of films here by the same director seems a bit too cute to be accidental. I half expected to see THE BIRDS swoop in from NORTH BY NORTHWEST in the video, with a TORN CURTAIN thrown in for good measure.
The production here is first-rate, and is a fine lead-off single for this 8-song unit between albums -- and I have little doubt the song will strike platinum -- I can think of at least a half-dozen solid ways to re-mix this; a ballad version could even be built in A minor from what I've heard here and sell strongly -- but Gaga, if you're reading this, let me tell you something: if you intend to have a career, you better drop the idea of selling the same record over and over and over. The public will only buy that for so long.

Lady GaGa - Bad Romance is her best song yet. This crazy woman has impressed me from Day 1. I love her voice, her tacky style, and her addictive music. She is the real deal underneath all that glitz and she plays piano by ear - how hot is that?! Bad Romance will keep you coming back for more, goo goo gaga!
