Lady Gaga Radio Interview About "The Fame Monster"

Lady Gaga was interviewed this morning on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo show to promote her upcoming sophomore album, The Fame Monster, scheduled to be released on November 23rd.

During the interview, she describes the new album, which is now officially considered a second studio-album instead of the re-release of her platinum selling debut album The Fame. She gets personal about her father's lifesaving heart operation that she recently paid for and the song "Speechless," inspired by these events, along with a promise to promote and tour for this album for an equal amount of time as was done for The Fame.

I was a little surprised by the decision to stop promotion for The Fame, considering several songs on the album that I feel had the potential to do very well on the charts ("Starstruck", "Money Honey", "Paper Gangsta") and boost sales of her debut album. Regardless, her new single "Bad Romance" is already racing up the iTunes chart and currently sits at number two. The Gaga camp can rest assured that it will likely debut within the top ten next week on the Billboard Hot 100 and it will be interesting to see how it will chart in the other international markets that it has been released in.

She also talked a little more about the collaboration her and Beyonce did on the song "Telephone" and the soon-to-be-released video for "Video Phone." Sounds like fun!
