I also don't get why Tiny Mix Tapes allowed the reviewer to do Born This Way, seeing as that particular man never reviews any other mainstream works.

They gave it a ****ing 0. I can't

It also has two reviews from Sputnikmusic (40 & 50)

I read those reviews when they first came out. One of the most unprofessional pieces of nothing I've read. No wonder the site consists of a bunch of random bloggers.

I feel like Born This Way will always be a classic, in general, for Gaga, and for this period of time as its the epitome of everything going on today.

Gaga made a masterpiece. Connor agrees.

They were waiting for the album of the decade.

I'm going to need Gaga to do more New Wave. Give me more songs like Summerboy, I Like It Rough, and Boys Boys Boys someday again.

Somebody should take the time to add up the averages, without Sputnik and Tiny Mix Tapes review.

They're all so unprofessional.

It was ****ing idiotic. Instead of reviewing the damn album, they rate how much they like her as a person and as an image, and then make up some wordy metaphorical **** to explain the 0 they gave her, all the while NEVER talking about the quality of the album. And they used sarcasm throughout the "review" in an attempt to make themselves look "witty". It was probably some stuck up snob who thinks they're better than everyone else.

It STILL makes me so mad when I see that freaking score. How did Metacritic even ALLOW that bias mess!

Another thing that bothers me is the fact that Metacritic includes her remix albums yet no one else's are. It brings her overall score down to a 66 when it should be a 74.

They just wanted to drag Gaga.

I appreciate negative reviews (not everyone is going to love it), but only when they talk about the music and not about how much they hate Gaga, which is exactly what they did

Is there a video of this performance?

Seriously. Somebody go add up the Born This Way reviews, but exclude the Tiny Mix Tape one and the two Sputnik ones.

Speaking of which, why did Sputnik review Born This Way twice?

That hipster review of Born This Way really brought down the score. It would have probably been a few points higher.

Also, I think we should prepare ourselves for Born This Way to make more lists like this. It just screams cult classic (somebody mentioned this earlier) and will easily become one of her most iconic eras. People will look back on it, and it'll just epitomize everything about Gaga. This will be her signature album, whether you like it or not.

In the future, this will be named the most iconic cover of the century.

I did the average of all the critics reviews only (without the two Sputnik and TMT) and it averages to 71.3.

It's weird though because when I do all the scores combined and averaged them, I got 67.5.

Was TEOG American Idol the only place Gaga and Clarence performed?

Yup, I believe so. And figures that they would have mic problems on the one occasion.

This review makes me so mad. Why can't they ****ing review the album based on the music, not because they don't appreciate her as a gay activist?

Quote:

It's jarring and saddening, as is "Government Hooker" to a lesser extent - it's a great Lady Gaga song that could have slotted into The Fame Monster's tracklisting with ease, but by sticking the word 'government' in the title for no apparent reason, she's revealing her desperate desire to have something important to say. That's not what people listen to a Lady Gaga record for, and it's not what she's good at.

MetaCritic weights certain publication's reviews higher than others. For example, a review from a publication like Entertainment Weekly or Rolling Stone will count more than a review from a random city newspaper.

Did you double-check? What if they're actually not counting them?

Edit: Thanks Konichiwa.
