Born This Way will never touch Bad Romance and the song was ****, deal with it.

Gaga needs to step her game up, I lost faith after BTW but then GH came along.

I became a Stan because of her live performances anyway.

Born This Way being terrible is such an exaggeration, its not even near her worst single...
Anyway, Z100 stans hard for BTW...three out of the four times i got into the car yesterday i turned on the radio and BTW was on

It would be well worth it. At some point, anyone who claims to be a fan of Gaga's work should put at least some effort into it. You don't have to like everything she does by any means, but it's annoying to see you reduce it so carelessly with a few words that have both spread across the world like wildfire without real basis and encourage the ignorance of musical and cultural history.

I am so completely over this song being described as a Madonna rip-off that I cannot.

This song is not a Madonna rip-off. First of all, as far as the Madonna influences go, it does not just take from Express Yourself like everyone pretends. It is influenced by several Madonna songs. As the Rolling Stone review tries to address, this song is "steeped in decades of gay disco tradition" and to ignore that and attempt to reduce it to be a Madonna rip-off is to ignore the entire point of the song. It's sort of obvious at this point that when she went off to make this song, she wanted to draw from the past. The importance of this song lies in the roots of it. She took the production from sounds associated with an important and classical part of gay history, and combined that with the lyrics and melodies reminiscent of late 80s/early 90s empowerment music. Those roots ARE the song. But she didn't "rip-off" of anyone. She took all the different elements (many of which, such as the disco-heavy beat, pre-date Madonna's work) and combined them with her own very modern Electronic/intense twist.

It's just frustrating that people, especially people who claim to be fans of her work, can reduce that song to "a Madonna rip-off." Madonna may have made Express Yourself (which failed to hit #1), but saying this song is a rip-off of that is not only demeaning to Gaga, but also to years and years of musical development and human history that provide the foundation for the lyrics, sound and feel of this song.

Finally,
Born This Way >> Bad Romance.
Deal.

It isnt even Top 3 when it comes to her best reviewed tracks.

Then what are?

I'd actually say Born This Way and Bad Romance have similar reviews.

Paparazzi is probably her most highly regarded song critically, from what I've seen.

I agree. What made Born This Way really good is the meaning behind it. If it was the exact same song, but with lyrics about being in a club, I'm pretty sure if wouldn't have perform like it is actually.

That's why it's in my top4 of Gaga songs, because of the lyrics.

But if I was to score it out of 10 it really deserves a 5.5

That makes no sense.

5 = 2.5 stars

And I round up after .5 and so 5.5 = 3 stars

ie BTW is in the lowest bound possible for 3 stars.

If my calculations are right,3 stars out of 5 = 6 out of 10. :scary:

Oh, I didn't realize you were going by a 5-star system rather than a 4-star system.
