Dud of the year: Lady Gaga, “Born This Way” (Universal): Despite the marketing genius and political message behind Lady Gaga’s mega-hit record, “Born This Way” is so filled with bombast and overwrought sentiment that the positive messages of gender and sexual equality are flattened by mass-marketed beats and way too much Gaga-drama.
