So the Country Version is getting good reviews too 
Quote:
This isn’t the first time Gaga’s unveiled a stripped-down cut of one of her pop hits. Her acoustic takes on “Poker Face” and “Paparazzi”—just her fast-flying fingers on a piano and that powerhouse voice—may be superior to the originals. But this is her first attempt at country and…it’s amazingly good. How ambitious too that her first foray into ten-gallon hat territory would be with “Born This Way.” Although an empowerment anthem for everybody, it’s also inextricably linked to gay pride, and, let’s face it, country music hasn’t traditionally been the go-to forum for the LGBT community—at least not since Shania Twain felt like a woman.
But let’s think again. From Hank Williams to Carrie Underwood, country music has always lent itself to personal narratives of trauma and heartbreak, sure. But also of redemption and triumph. Isn’t that what “Born This Way” is all about? If her pop version left some fans unsatisfied, I suspect it’s because a hopeful message about celebrating authenticity—the “real you”—was being conveyed through her most synthetic sound yet. This country version, though, slowed down and stripped to the vital components of grooving electric and acoustic guitars, a wailing harmonica, and thumping percussion, seems to remove that discrepancy between its style and its content.
Could a new era of musical cross-pollination be at hand?

The new rendition of the hit opens with ominous, swirling guitars and then introduces a fuzzed-out slide guitar and harmonica wheeze, with all of the thumping disco beats replaced by restrained brush drumming and a more laid-back vibe. Once it kicks into the first chorus, the song continues to take its time, choogling along on live-sounding, laconic drumming and lots of soulful harmonica.
Just before the three-minute mark, Gaga mixes in some new lyrics, drawling, "If I wanna make it country, baby, then it's OK, cuz I was born, I was born, I was born this way," over picked mandolin. "From London, Paris, Japan back to USA/ I was born on the road, I was born to be brave," she adds, as the song breaks into full-on country-rock mode reminiscent of late-period Bon Jovi in the final minute.

he toned-down tune, produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay, features a chilled-out backing track with harmonica and guitar sounds, as well as extra lyrics.
Gaga sings in the additional verse: 'If I want to make it country baby it's ok, 'cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way. From London, Paris, Japan back to USA, yeah I was born on the road, I was born to be brave.'The track has been well-received, with one fan describing the new version as 'absolutely amazing.'
And many have declared the country version to be better than the original, with one fan saying: 'This is absolutely awesome... I love this more than the original.'

Now, my indifference to most things in the country music world are well-worn territory here on PopWrap, but I absolutely adore this reworking -- complete with genre-pimping new lyrics:

It's not going to make anyone forget Tammy Wynette, and Gillian Welch probably doesn't have to worry about losing too many of her fans to the Lady, but it is kinda cool. It's further proof both that a great pop song is a great pop song no matter its musical garb, and that the world is Ms. Gaga's right now and the rest of us just live here.
