Lady GaGa’s trailer for “The Fame Monster”
3The songs sound so much better than they actually are on this trailer for the album The Fame Monster. Our current favorites are “Alejandro” and “Monster.” Maybe “Telephone” will grow on us. Does anyone else think that “Alejandro” sounds like Ace Of Base’s cover of “Don’t Turn Around?”
