"Just Dance" is the debut single by American recording artist Lady Gaga. The song was produced by RedOne and co-written by RedOne, Gaga and Akon (who also provides additional vocals), while also featuring labelmate Colby O'Donis. It was released in 2008 as the lead single from Gaga's debut studio album The Fame. The song was written by Gaga in ten minutes as "a happy record". "Just Dance" also has influences of R&B and lyrically speaks about being intoxicated at a club.

The song has been critically appreciated, with reviewers complimenting its club anthem-like nature and the synthpop associated with it. The song has also achieved commercial success by topping charts in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as well as reaching the top ten in many other countries. In the United States, "Just Dance" was a sleeper hit, spending almost five months on the Billboard Hot 100 before finally reaching the summit of the chart in January 2009, after being released in April 2008. It scored the third-biggest single-week sum of all time selling 419,000 downloads in just one week and went to become the second best-selling digital song of all time in the U.S. The single is among the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 7.7 million copies.

The music video of the song portrayed Lady Gaga appearing in a party where she plays the song, prompting party-goers to start dancing in enjoyment. Gaga compared her experience of shooting the video with being on a Martin Scorsese set. "Just Dance" was performed by Gaga in a number of live appearances including her first headlining The Fame Ball Tour and the second worldwide tour Monster Ball. In 2009, the song received a Grammy nomination in the Best Dance Recording category but lost to electronic duo Daft Punk for their song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".

So many people helped me with the outfits so I want to give them A LOT of credit by putting their usernames up on my video itself! Thank you so much guys! Wondering how they helped out? Well, read this list!: GoldGuySims: for the white crown JasonSimzz: for suggesting to use a capsule, but I didnt use it Dx sorry! I couldnt find it in my game after I downloaded it...Also, thank you for the skeleton. HausofGaGaMusic: For the idea of using a "dance sphere" as a orbit dress. IITechnoMickyII: For telling me were to get the necklaces outfit (I just imported the mesh to another, and recolored it). It is found at Peggy Sims, but I might upload a better version (my version) on GaGaSims. Serkiro: For the "Alexander McQueen" hair. I just remeshed it and recolored it. It's found at RoseSims2.net Tyrn06: For the Dress Mesh in the beginning, The Black crown, and the Alexander Mcqueen outfit. I just recolored the Alexander McQueen Outfit and kind of remeshed the Dress Outfit from the beginning. Max2Sims2: For the custom animations! They're awesome! (Can be found in their website, link in their channel) I would love to thank you guys SO much! The video wouldn't be complete without your help! -Notes- Yes, I know that there are some parts with messed up quality. It's something with my editing program. And It was really hard to do the very last part-I couldn't find a burnt bed to download! So, I used HausofGaGa's idea again (sorry!) of putting her <b>...</b>

After posting 5 of their videos this school year alone, Perez Hilton has brought millions of viewers, both directly and indirectly, into the world of the PS22 Chorus. Big thanks for believing in these kids, and for raising awareness to the importance of music and the arts in education. Indebted. So when I found out he wanted a Lady Gaga song, I was a little petrified! I honestly didn't know if we could pull something like that off. But the kids were asking for Lady Gaga themselves, so I put it on them to rewrite some of the lyrics to "Just Dance" to make it something that would be okay for school. And with just a little lyrical tweaking on their part, they totally recreated this song. I dare say ithey completely ROCK IT!!! Along with the two Tori Amos (Flavor and Gold Dust) and Bjork (One Day, Joga) songs we did this year, this might be my favorite cover out of this year's group. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! And as you see the kids do too! Tirzah sounds absolutely amazing on the leads, and makes you remember why she won the PS22 American Idol 3 last year when she was in 4th grade with the Leona Lewis song, Bleeding Love (check it out if you haven't seen it! www.youtube.com ) And Mariah does an awesome rap and adds her incredible charm and <b>...</b>
3.20 min. | 4.79 user rating		 MY TWITTER: www.twitter.com MY FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com This is a hip hop dance I choreographed to Madonna and Justin Timberlake's '4 Minutes' song from Madonna's CD, 'Hard Candy'. After seeing this innocent dance video, business execs at Madonna's record label (Warner Music Group) decided that this infringed on the copyrights of her song, and therefore had my video removed from YouTube. After over a month of battling with them, I won the copyright dispute, and my video has been restored in full. People, never underestimate the power of your voice. Sometimes, the little guy CAN win. Never give up. Don't let these big companies push us around. Thank you to everyone who watches my videos, and thank you for honouring me with making my channel as popular as it is. It means the world to me, and I feel very blessed to be in the position that I am in. Thank you all so much. -Corey Vidal THEY REMOVED MADONNA'S MESSAGE TO US!: www.youtube.com Learn more about the legal battle here: www.youtube.com Madonna "4 Minutes" (feat.
