Lady Gaga- APPLAUSE. My Short Review.

A great way to remember the spelling of "applause".

I love this song, not because of the hype, or because it's Lady Gaga (if anything, that made me more uncertain it would be any good) I love this song because it's a great dance track, it's empowering and fun. Anyone who sings along to this song in the shower, in their bedroom, in a talent show, where ever, they will feel like a super star.

Lady Gaga always talks about her Monsters (fans) and how much she appreciates each and every one of them, you can tell that this song is for them. Another piece of art to show her appreciation.

My favourite part of the song is the hook:
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause I love the change in the music, the drop in the beat, the build up to the chorus. It's great. Towards the end, the build up with the cheering and clapping. It's very satisfying. A great hook, leading into an energetic, fun fueled chorus.

A great track to prepare the world for her new album.

LYRICS_____________________________
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read

One second I'm a Koons
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P
