'Celebrity VS' Round 2!

Hello folks welcome back to 'Celebrity VS' it's Marilyn Manson VS Lady GaGa, and now they have a chance to prove themselves in round 2.

Sound - Lady GaGa (Track - Pokerface)


Her eye twitched... bet it all she's bluffing.
Video aside, the way the track opens is fantastic, a heavy beat followed by "ma-ma-ma-ma".
The lyrics work nicely and there is a steady, up beat note variation.
Did I mention its catchy, as in you are probably humming it right now catchy?
Ok now the cons... digital assistance, its alright and this might just be me being ignorant but it never seems to leave.
Granted it has almost a techno dance feel to it, I mean look at 'Believe' by Cher, that was to my knowledge the first track ever to use the auto-tune program, and it was a success.
It just feels slightly heavy handed in this song, I mean check out her live videos, she sounds pretty good without it. Even so that's not much of a con, just something that I believe could be changed for the better.

Sound - Marilyn Manson (Track - Arma-goddamn-mother-fu*****-geddon)






Understanding exchange rates by Marilyn Manson.


Again another brilliant opening to a song, the drums really give a sense of spiraling down before the track begins (and this was released on the album The High End of Low so its appropriate I suppose)
Normally I would disapprove of a lack of note variation during the verses, but I feel the backing-track is varied enough to almost cradle the vocals.
The lyrics are unusual and interesting if not a tad off colour (and by tad I mean if you want to censor this baby you would will need a chainsaw and some wading boots)
On the whole I like this song a lot, but due to the lack of notes that may be irritating to some, and the in your face (and your chest, both your hands, and one of your legs) lyrics, I have to give this point too...

Lady GaGa!
Sorry Manson, your fans may love that song, but I don't think it will ever effect the charts like your version of 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' did.

The scores are one a piece!
