In a word, disappointing! I feel like we’ve moved tables but are still being served stale bread. I wanted the euphoric head rush I received upon first play of Bad Romance; instead, the expression on my face after the first play of `Judas’ was ambivalent, not being able to decide if this was a quirky, masterful slice of pop or a poor rework of `Bad Romance’ lacking in neither punch or enthusiasm. The verses convey meaning only to the most fucktarded of characters; the `ra-ra-ra’ is not compelling nor engaging, simply annoying whilst the chorus is Euro pop done badly – and yes, Euro pop can be done well (the Venga Boys anyone?). Whilst there’s no denying the quality of GG’s previous efforts (that’s what she’s listed as in my phone contacts, I suggest you add it your Microsoft Word dictionary at once), I was willing her on to take risks with her new material. The only attribute of her latest offering which stands out is a slightly enhanced electro beat which hardly rocks the status quo. It’s a shame she doesn’t apply her zeal for experimenting in the wardrobe to her music. `Judas’ would have been all the better for it. Better luck impressing me next time bitch!
P.S. given the sub-standard quality of GG’s first two singles, I can confirm that I will be downloading the album from media fire.
