Not at all. I first heard "Just Dance" through a member of another forum who was obsessed with it at the time (this was summer 2008 before The Fame came out). I liked it, but I thought it wasn't going to do anything. Then all of a sudden in the fall of 2008 it became a monster hit and by 2009 she was huge. I NEVER expected her to become what she is today.
No, I thought she was gonna be on par with the other girls, but I didn't expect her to rise above and **** all over them. Truthfully, her extreme success is annoying when you stan for someone else. That's mostly because of a large portion of her fans are obnoxious and ridiculous, and not her, though.
