Say what you will about Born This Way, but there’s no doubt that Lady Gaga owned the pop discussion in the first half of 2011. The title track was the most anticipated song, her Grammys appearance was the most anticipated performance, “Judas” was the most anticipated video and the album was the most anticipated album. And little if any of it disappointed—”Edge of Glory” is still one of our favorite singles of the summer, the Grammys performance was one of the most iconic in recent memory, and even if Born This Way‘s one-million debut week was minorly Amazon-and-iTunes-assisted, it was still one of the biggest and best pop albums released this year. It’d be impossible to imagine the first half of 2011 without Lady Gaga, and we wouldn’t much want to, either.
Thanks for posting the RedOne interview! He and Gaga have created some serious magic together. The songs he is involved with on BTW,( Hair, Judas and Scheiße) all stand out!
RedOne has created with Gaga her most epic songs - Just Dance, Poker Face and Bad Romance. Without him, she wouldn't be half popular as she is now I'm sure. You can't deny it. Even if his work on BTW isn't as powerful, he's still part of Gaga. Scheisse is great.
