New York not a single

Just want to let you know that I think she actually does have a single called New York, as on Saturday Night Live, you hear her say brief things about New York not in Bad Romance? Just sayin Slrkn54 (talk) 16:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She is from New York, she's just talking about growing up there. ---Shadow (talk) 16:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fans Opinions

i was wondering, i have read on alot of fans blogs that fans think that the demo was better than the final version. should we include this as a fact about the song. http://www.jonnyalisblog.com/2009/10/lady-gaga-bad-romance-official-download.html --Apeaboutsims (talk) 06:21, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but fansites are not allowed in Wikipedia because they are not reliable and not professional to opine about the music. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Charts

I know its in the actually charts section but there should e something about the Irish singles chart in chart performance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.47.21.123 (talk) 14:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's currently #20. --Kei_Jo (Talk to me baby! :þ) 12:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Shouldn't it be noted that some of the reviews were based on the demo version and not the final one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.30.39 (talk) 03:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Bad Romance

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bad Romance's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "dutch":

From Just Dance: "Dutch Top 40". MegaCharts. acharts.us. Retrieved 2009-04-28.
From LoveGame: "Dutch Top 40". MegaCharts. acharts.us. June 20, 2009. Retrieved 2009-06-20.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This time its FAIL anomiebot! :) --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indroduction to the article.

Currently, the intro is

""Bad Romance" is a song by American pop singer, Lady Gaga. It is the first single of The Fame Monster, which is the re-released deluxe edition of her debut album The Fame. The track was produced by RedOne."

I personally think that it is necessary to separate The Fame from The Fame Monster, as The Fame Monster has 8 extra tracks, therefore it is a deluxe re-released edition. If you look at The Fame, you will see that in the Singles released section that it has "Bad Romance" under the heading "The Fame Monster singles" (or similar). So they are different albums. I don't want someone to go out and buy The Fame and expect "Bad Romance" to be on it. --Kei_Jo (Talk to me baby! :þ) 12:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Music Video Snippet and new single covers

Currently the section about the music video says it takes place in "what looks like a psychiatric hospital." That is incorrect. In numerous interviews Lady Gaga has stated that it takes place in a Russian bathhouse. She has also stated that the plot of the video is she is getting sold into sex slavery.

Link to the interview please? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the music video for Bad Romance was set to be debuted on the Lady Gaga website on Monday 9th November, after many posts on the discussion board from fans - the pop-up window advertising the videos release date was changed to say Tuesday. does anyone know why this was pushed back? static_silence —Preceding undated comment added 03:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Im afraid we don't accept fansites as source. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Music video is out and there's still no information on it!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.182.156 (talk) 16:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sha also said in an interview to MTV (http://www.lady-gaga.net/2009/11/09/lady-gaga-says-bad-romance-video-is-about-tough-female-spirit/#more-4397) that the models were forcing her to drink vodka before being sold to the russian mafia.Arthurvv19 (talk) 22:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tiny Edit in the Music Video part

Mixed Reviews?

Folks, mixed reviews means some critics didn't like the song, and some did. The only evidence of a negative critical opinion here is that one critic said it was similar to Poker Face. The rest is all positive. This article shouldn't say the song received mixed reviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.242.82 (talk) 23:11, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
