 Lady Gaga  In Farmville: Singer Debuts Songs In Facebook Game

Singer Lady Gaga, known for wearing a variety of funny hats and singing such hits as "Pokerface," "Telephone," and "Like a Virgin," will debut her new songs in a video game. Sorry, Rock Band fans, it won't be DLC. Instead, Gaga will put out tracks for her new album on Facebook game Farmville.

Players have to complete tasks to hear one exclusive new track per day from May 17 to 19, in a special farm called "Gagaville." Additional songs that aren't exclusive can be unlocked over the following three days. The album is due to be released on May 23.

The promotion combines three of the most onerous aspects of modern life: Disposable pop stars of questionable talent, "casual" facebook gaming and non-traditional marketing strategies into one insufferable whole. It's a trifecta of things I dislike and wish I knew nothing about.

"Lady Gaga is as passionate about her fans as we are about our players," said Zynga's Raquel DiSabatino, director of entertainment and media, before diving into a pool full of gold coins and jewels and swimming away.

All of the best people are following Stephen Johnson's twitter feed. Also, email me if you wanna.

    GaGa's fans are mental. Don't poke them with a stick!

    Hey! Moron! Check your facts. Madonna sang "Like a Virgin" not Gaga.
    Reporting and bloggers have really gone down the drain.

    Another reason for me to avoid Farmville like the plague...

    Gaga -- Over-hyped? Yes. Over-rated? Possibly. Of particular interest to me? Not really. But to say that the woman can't actually sing well in her own voice is to ignore a lot of readily-available evidence, such as: http://youtu.be/Kk2YjyqOGu8

    There's an old saying about "giving the devil it's due". I think that may apply here.

    I know you aren't supposed to kill the messenger, but I hate you for sharing this information with me.

    "Questionable talent," eh?

    Search "lady gaga hbo acapella" or "lady gaga captivated" into YouTube, then come talk to me. Sorry, I get the jabs at her are supposed to be funny, but I'd say they're really misguided and just plain wrong.

    Gaga is freak, I love her.

    I have never listened to pop music, I hate pop music, but I do like Gaga and the sheer evil power she channels. Its like watching a Demon sing about hell, its beautiful. Unlike all the other popstars that are basically just singing about being drunken sluts. She's like the female version of Marilyn Manson.

    I have only watched four music videos in my life more than once and those are Gaga's, which are also the only four I have ever bought off iTunes.

    So WTF is she doing associating herself with farmvile?

    Lady Gaga is to music what Farmville is to gaming. I approve of this.

    I'd rather listen to the music than play that stupid game on that awful little site. (I wouldn't buy the music myself though, I'm into other stuff that isn't computer generated).

    Just the other day I was saying I wish someone would take Farmville and combine it with Lady Gaga so that I only have to hate one thing instead of two. Hating two things is so time consuming; this is much easier.

    First off don't yell at Stephen. Secondly maybe he meant the other one that kind of sounds like the other Madonna Song...

    Anyway I think I'd like Lady Gaga better if I didn't get the feeling she is now a gimmick and going to continue to push the envelope with each and every new song/album.

    I mean maybe that's just who she is but I hope she remembers that Poker Face, Telephone and that one where she sings about shutting her playboy mouth are also widely liked and don't have images of her with Dragon Bones or licking blood or anything else weird and frightful.
