I became obsessed with Gaga in the summer of '08 thanks to Just Dance. I remember listening to the leak of Madonna's Hard Candy every single day and this buzz single (

) popping everywhere in May. I liked it after a few listens, but I was too busy bopping to Give It 2 Me and Beat Goes On for two months straight back then.
Then in the beginning of June '08 I saw JD being perched in my Azureus download folder. I played it a few times after a long break and it just ****ing hit me: "This is going to be huge!". That breakdown with "Half psychotic, sick hypnotic" made me go ABSOLUTELY insane! I even made a clip back then with that part on a loop non-stop
Then I looked up the music video and I loved her so much. Literally everything she did reminded me of 80's Madonna. So theatrical, bold, dramatic and confident. I googled her and saw interviews, Making Of's and I was sold. Everything she did till the Alejandro video had huge impact on my life.
