The song is ******. I'm sorry. Many agree. The lyrics are a rip off from that 70's song and the melody and music is a rip off of Madonna's.
If LG was ethnic (black , latina, asian) , i seriously doubt that the song would be doing what it's doing and she would be having the success she's having. Let's be realistic here. There was a void of a female Pop star since Britney peaked, and LG filled it. She doesnt bring anything new that Beyonce or Alicia keys has already done. and Madonna for that matter.

No. You'd be much better at shutting up and dealing with the current massive success of " Born This Way."

That's not the case at all. The reason the song is selling like hotcakes is because she has managed to build an incredibly large following during her time in the industry. This release was carefully planned, hype has been building for weeks. All of her fans knew about it. Public awareness is spreading quickly due to her fantastic radio updates, and also through word of mouth. Reviews for this song have been extremely positive, the general consensus is that this is an uplifting, liberating song. It's an anthem. This release has confirmed what some of us already knew; Lady GaGa is the new Queen of Pop.

Actually no, everyone was saying she'd flop when she posted the lyrics. Even this morning when it wasn't in the Top 1000 they were saying it's "struggling."

Rihanna's GGGB era was huge and she was the biggest star back then and yet Russian Roulette underperformed.
When will people realize that if people don't like the song, no matter how much they'll shove it in their faces, they won't like it or buy it.

I'll buy the album but not this song, I just can't get into it, maybe I'll go to sleep on it, and in the morning, maybe I'll be hooked, but right now, i'm not feeling it, but I'm just amazed at how well its doing, impressive!

Should i go on?

Lol are you serious? neither Elton nor Perez are influential enough to boost a song's sales on iTunes. only stans on the internet heard what they say, the general public (and that's thousands people around the world) are buying the single because it's gaga and because it's good.

Sweetheart , you were the first to say that the song was generic and bad and that you didnt like it. So now all of a sudden its amazing to you after you saw the numbers?

No , people buy just to buy it. And also buy into a hype. That's what hype does. This song has been hyped to no end.

Honestly, I wish I could but I cant.
It just isnt clicking, the only catchy thing I remember is: "dont be a drag, be a queen."

Gaga hypnotizing the world into doing her evil bidding. Just like how she forces high-profile figures to work with her.

Lol, I love how people are saying in time Gaga fans will realize BTW isn't good when the exact opposite effect is happening... the more people listen to it, the more they like it.
