La signora Germanotta a.k.a. Lady Gaga con “Applause” si propone in una veste più adulta, da artista. Artista pop, chiaro. Ma meglio di quel che propinava all’inizio per farsi conoscere e fare miliardi. Lei l’artista pop la sa fare: si denuda, si colora, si dimena e dice pure cose particolari. Inoltre le produzioni video e musicali sono pro, senza dubbio. Che poi non riusciate a sopportarla, è un altro discorso, magari condivisibile. Nel frattempo, si accende la scritta in alto per battere le mani. E voi che fate?
Il testo qui sotto:
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
(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
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 kunst
Then suddenly the kunst 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
