Gaga is a master at choruses and bridges. It's her verses that often lack or take away from the overall product.
Found this on Tumblr.

There are two kinds of artists in this world - those who allow their art to become property of the public, often to the demise of their lives or their creativity - and those who refuse to subscribe to the construction of anyone else, marching to the beat of their own drum. Not everything that glitters is gold.
I'm bipolar about Judas, tbh. The lyrics and sound are definitely a little too close to Bad Romance to just dismiss, but the chorus and bridge are near perfection. I still question Judas as a single, too, especially with it and the MV being released around Easter. If TEOG wasn't a Dark Horse in the wings, I think the BTW era could have been much messier and much worse commercially than it was.
As good as Judas is, I would much rather the BTW singles have skipped straight from BTW to TEOG, even if Judas would have smashed instead of peaking quickly and plummeting. (While on the subject, I think Judas may be one of her most forgotten and unknown singles and MVs in the eyes of the GP, other than MTN and G.U.Y.)

Also, according to the Billboard Article on Gaga and Bobby joining Artist Nation (Live Nation's management firm), ARTPOP's US sales are still only at 710,000.
Is ARTPOP really never going to go platinum? I don't know if I can deal with the fact that ARTPOP will probably never outsell BTW's first week sales.
EDIT: ARTPOP was at 679,000 on March 30 according to Billboard in the article below, so it sold about 41,000 copies from April-early June. Is that bad or good?
do you think if i posted "born this way" on my facebook on my birthday (which happens to coincide with gay pride week) that it would be considered a public coming out

Yes - if they still know what Born This Way is and what is all about
No - if they don't know what's BTW and if they just relate it to your birthday
*googles 'taping face'*
*sees a few pics of Gaga and some weird pics of irrelevant people*
*reads "Lady Gaga reveals she uses facial TAPE to 'form her eyes ..."*
The 2nd chorus has kind of a punch in the album version too, it's got a nice lead in with the "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU***"
it's all gaga
