About the Music and Artist:
Lady Gaga has been a huge star since her first album Fame Monster released in 2008. This album sold 15 million copies and Lady Gaga was famous. That album won two Grammy's and was nominated for 6. She has taken the digital music world by storm and won countless awards for her artistry.
What Lady Gaga is known for, other than her music, is her unique sense of style. She has worn many outfits that have turned heads including a dress made of meat. Because of the outlandish way she dresses, she has been topic of many conversations and many people did not take her seriously at first. Now, four years later, she is still on the top charts.
Critical Evaluation:
This album is a good mix of up beat songs and ballads. She has put together music in this album where the listener can hear more of her voice and less a computerized version of her. This makes the album more diverse than the first two. Lady Gaga has also added some interestingly uplifting and encouraging lyrics to this album. This could cause the listeners to regard her in a more serious manner than before. The music is very different, but it has a nice, dance quality.
Curriculum Ties:
