The most believable rumor surrounding Lady Gaga is that she’s going to debut her new single “Bad Romance” on “Saturday Night Live” tonight.

The song leaked on the internet yesterday but every time I’ve tried to find a copy of it, it was mixed in with some random noises to make it nearly unlistenable. From what I could gather, it was pretty catchy with an addictive chorus but also agree with this assessment from Idolator:

this song is pretty much a calculated step back into “Poker Face” territory; you have the monotonous beat, the wordless vocalizing on the chorus, and GaGa channeling the deeper side of her voice in a way that makes me wonder if the airy vocals on “Paparazzi” came from a stand-in. (Also, why is the track nearly five minutes long? Is this another attempt at mind control or something?)

Rolling Stone also noted that:

“Bad Romance” was produced by RedOne, who also is credited on Gaga’s previous singles “Just Dance,” “LoveGame” and “Poker Face” (and is doing work on Adam Lambert’s anticipated debut). This new single doesn’t deviate far from the blueprint mapped out by those other hits, especially “Poker Face,” to which “Bad Romance” bears a striking resemblance. Lyrically, the track has Gaga exploring the joys of a bad romance, while the misplaced bridge takes a detour to talk about fashion.

All reports indicate that there will be a deluxe reissue of Gaga’s The Fame in late November with several new songs.
