@Jewfro - gifting it is easy. There's an arrow next to the song title. Click it, then just click the 'gift song' option. You just need the recipient's email.
"The Gaga has released a new song online and the internet is still working. Is this a failure? No, it's another storming pop tune... So what does it sound like? Well, a lot like Madonna's Express Yourself.... but it doesn't sound copycat, more a knowing nod and a cute wink (to the Madonna hit)... Born This Way is a thumping, almost disco anthem that stomps along until the chorus crashes in with the weight of a discarded meat dress. Lyrically, it's all love yourself whoever you are and "don't be a drag, just be a queen". Within the ridiculously camp musical context, the lyrics sound a lot less heavy-handed than it would suggest. One suspects it will probably shift a few copies."
I just heard it for the first time. It's SO different from everything else and it's so strange to finally hear those lyrics in their real form. I love it.
It doesn't top 'Bad Romance' for me but I didn't expect it to. It's the interlude. I'm sure there is A LOT to come with the album.
And also - it's a huge grower.
We are coming for that Hot 100 number one.
The Grammy performance will be epic.
