After listening to the first couple of tracks on Lady Gaga’s debut album “The Fame,” it’s obvious that she’s had her fair share of drunken debauchery and man-eating sexcapades during her 22 years of living.

With Madonna-esque vocals, Britney Spears-style flirty dance beats, and the raunchiness of Mickey Avalon, Gaga has no shame when it comes to belting out tunes about drug-laced nights and rough sex.

Gaga’s album has received positive reviews and has made its way up to the 17th position on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums.

Her electro-pop and techno mixes will pump life into any stale party and is perfect background music to get hyped up for a night out. While some of today’s young musical stars censor themselves in fear of the always-critical media, Gaga gives them a big middle finger and sings her bawdy anthems anyway.

Born Joanne Stefani Germanotta, Lady Gaga adopted her stage name in reference to Queen’s “Radio Ga-Ga” song. In 2007 she was hired onto Interscope records as a songwriter and when hip-hop superstar Akon recognized her vocal talents, he signed her onto a joint deal with Kon Live. Fast forward to 2008 and Gaga opened for the New Kids on the Block comeback tour and is now currently touring through the states and then onto Great Britain until February.

Gaga infuses her sassy soul and life experience into all of the tracks, writing all of her 14 beats with only a little help from co-writers. Flo Rida and Space Cowboy step in on the funky club mix “Starstruck” and Colby O’Donis (known for his single “What You Got”) is featured on Gaga’s radio hit, “Just Dance.”

Not-so-subtly using innuendos throughout the album, Gaga bares her naughty side to the world, with lines such as “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” in “Lovegame” and “I’m educated in sex?yes I want it bad.” In “Boys Boys Boys,” a response to Motley Crue’s “Girls Girls Girls,” Gaga professes her adoration for partying with boys that buy her drinks and love her forever.

In “The Fame,” she analyzes the material world of celebrities today, admitting “all we care about is runway models, Cadillacs, liquor bottles?pornographic girls on film and body plastic.”

Only two songs slow the dance-party disc down and give a glimpse into Gaga’s soul. “Eh Eh (Nothing I Can Say)” and “Brown Eyes,” perhaps personal reflections of her own breakups, soften up her edgy side a bit and prove that Gaga has some softness underneath her hard exterior.

Gaga sums it up best in her own lyrics: “I’m a hard girl?loving me is like chewing on pearls.”

Whether its upbeat sass or soul-baring crooning, Lady Gaga succeeded in kicking some serious musical ass.
