I actually didn't have Perfect Lover when the song FIRST leaked, I loved Britney after VMA 2007 but from there I was getting bullied, teased, hated on in school just because of my music taste...
I hated that video like no other, and luckily that hate did not transfer to my perception of the song itself. The song is my favorite she's done so far, and it was really pissed with the video.
Before I loved Gaga, I loved Britney and when I did... I was getting hated, being called homo, gay, etc. And with Gaga I sorta get hated but only like 3 times a year.
Britney has that sorta 'gay' feel to her music and Gaga does too BUT she has hardcore sounding songs like Reloaded, Poker Face, Just Dance, etc. Whilst last month someone looked in my Diary and noticed I had written 'Hold It Against Me' and they started...
One month after (last week) I written Dont Be A Drag, Just Be A Queen in my diary. One of the 'cool' people saw it and went "Hey, do you have that song on your phone? I really want it!" I was shocked... I get hated over Britney but not Gaga, really... Gaga saved me from hatred or a chance of me punching someone.
