I think the "redeeming" band is just a fake band made by the owners of YouTube, just saying...

That dude is so behind on hipster fashion.

The dirty bum look is so 2006.

 

[Bowielee]

I dunno, they just kind of reek of corporate attempt at hipsters.

 

[GasBandit]

Why are all "redemption" songs always done by hipster morons?

I dunno, the last Gaga solo was redeemed by Eric Cartman, whom I am quite sure would object violently to the label of "hipster."

The real question is, why is it always the chick playing bass?

That was a parody. Not a new rendition.

Eh, I'd say it was more of a cover than a parody, but in either case, it doesn't change that it redeemed it.

Just because idolator says the word "redeem" doesn't make it so. I still think "Poker Face" is bitchin'. Dumb, like most things Gaga, but bitchin'.

You may have a point, technically. What made it a redemption was not that idolator said so, it was that it was actually better than the original.

 

[ElJuski]

Dubious. Funny, but not "better". But that's a pretty stupid argument.

Better. In fact, I'd like to even posit the notion that if it weren't for the video, Telephone would be an entirely forgettable formulaic club song.

Actually I agree with Gas. Poker Face is fun but Cartman's version is way better. Telephone? Meh. The video is great, the song is inane (and not in a good way) and uninteresting.

I'm actually a big Lady Gaga fan and don't really like Telephone...

 

[Norris]

And lo, I have become a full fledged fan of Lady Gaga. I've though she was cool ever since seeing her on SNL...but I love Telephone. Both the song and video.

You guys notice the Star Wars / Dune / Command & Conquer references yet?

I heard these two have produced a "I'm killing CD's by posting videos on Youtube" t-shirts.

Well, I have to admit that's a tastemaker hat if ever there was one.

 

[CynicismKills]

That lady in the cover version is so devoid of emotion and is so doll-like that it borders on terrifying.

All I caught was the Tiberium reference.
