Gaga's new song - love or hate?

[Zippy]

this deserves a poll.

[Jords]

I dont hate it, its just, meh.

[Zippy]

I dont hate it, its just, meh.

I agree but meh is a meh option!

[Beastie]

I like it. So I clicked "love".

[Smithy]

You've put some random pitched version of the song in the thread :conf2:

[Locke.]

Terrible, not even Smithy can like this

[Vicky.]

I dont love or hate it. Disappointed after all the hype though :/

[Callum]

I like it but don't love

[Zippy]

You've put some random pitched version of the song in the thread :conf2:

there's so many versions up I cba finding the "best"

I assume most have heard it already anyways so this is just a reminder.

[Stu]

You've put some random pitched version of the song in the thread :conf2:
Oh no! Someone who has come to Zippy's thread to hear a song that is now being played all over the world might get the wrong impression from this substandard version and cast a vote against the precious!

[Jessica.]

LOVE! :amazed:

Do you act like a **** on purpose or is it all natural?

[Josy]

I am just glad its finally out and the fans can stop going on about it so much

Smithy & Niall.

[Tom4784]

Hate it, there's nothing to it it's not catchy and the lyrics are awful. It's just really bad, It sounds like a Gloria Gaynor b-side. It's pretentious and contrived and it makes me feel rather embarassed for her.

[Stu]

I take it the point hit it's target then. Wonderful response.

well now theyll go on about the album....

at least she can't get away with building it up as perfection anymore!

This. It'll probably grow on me.

[Shaun]

don't hate it, just bored by it.

['Conor]

[cub]

I prefer Madonna's version of Express Yourself, the song this is ripped off from.

[Novo]

What the ****.. :joker:

[Rob]

As with all new songs i don't love it or hate it, i'll give it a week or so to grow on me before making the my mind up, alway doesn't strike me as good as her previous work.

[billy123]

crock of shite aimed at tweenies that dont know any better.

[Jordan.]

Didn't like it when I heard it premiere but its grown on me now. It isn't no Bad Romance or Poker Face though.

[fizzybee]

Its a great song, it won't be as legendary as some of her older stuff but its a grower.

[Zippy]

It isn't no Bad Romance or Poker Face though.

and thats the problem

its two steps back

[bbfan1991]

Neither:), I like it but nowhere near her best songs:nono:.

[Callum]

It's actually hard to believe that this song is by the same person who produced Dance In the Dark, this is a step down in quality from that song.

[Ninastar]

This. It'll probably grow on me.

[Patrick]

No one but the obsessive GaGa fans who will all undoubtedly head straight for The Golden Gate Bridge the second GaGa retires, like it.

[Patrick]

I am just glad its finally out and the fans can stop going on about it so much

Smithy & Niall.

Why put Niall's name in White?

Jessica hasn't ******ed up about it since, well since Smithy began talking about.
Niall however has other things to talk about, decent member the lad is.

Not sure why you wrote his name down but not Jessica's.

['Conor]

[Marsh.]

I just listened to it on youtube and it's nothing special.
Except her voice sounds more "throaty" than usual. Kind of like Miley Cyrus, that annoyingly deep and shaky thing going on.

[Benjamin]

It is bollocks. After all the hype, what a let down. :bored:

Lady Gaga unveiled her long-awaited new single Born This Way on Friday - and immediately faced a barrage of accusations she has ripped off Madonna's classic hit Express Yourself.

She finally uploaded the song on Friday - but within minutes a slew of critics and thousands of fans took to the internet to accuse her of stealing the beat, melody and subject matter from Madonna's 1989 global smash hit.

One follower writes, "Lady Gaga's song's good, but my God it sounds exactly like Madonna's Express Yourself", while another adds, "It doesn't just sound like Madonna's Express Yourself. You can literally sing the original over this one."



Fake wannabe. :nono:

[AJ.]

The tune aint good its just blah. The fans make me hate it.

[Josy]

Why put Niall's name in White?
Jessica hasn't ******ed up about it since, well since Smithy began talking about.Niall however has other things to talk about, decent member the lad is.

Not sure why you wrote his name down but not Jessica's.

Because Niall and Smithy are the one's I have seen going on about it, I haven't seen Jessica mentioning it.

Not sure why you feel the need to question my post, when it had nothing to do with you in the first place, and no one said Niall isn't a "decent member" did they?

[Z]

I nothing it. I've only liked two of her songs to date (and no I've not bothered to listen to her albums.) Kind of hope this knocks her down a peg or two and gets her fans to tone it down somewhat, I saw a good post by Dezzy about how she's exploiting gay rights activism to make her this champion of the people in some niche market of tolerance, when it shouldn't be a niche, it should be the norm. This song is tacky and the lyrics are embarrassing.

[InOne]

Can't even see it getting played in clubs or owt. Hope radio doesn't rape it as well

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

jonah dont hide yourself in regret just love yourself and your set

That is all well and good but the song sucks. You're seriously deluded.

[Vladimir]

Her fans are downloading the song as expected, but it's not going to be a worldwide hit like some of her previous singles.

[Zippy]

bloody hell, hold me back!

this song has been ecstatically overhyped up for several months and been totally leakproof. Its the first track from her equally overhyped to death new album.

Now her "fans" are screaming stupid pointless statistics about number one here, number one there, fastest this, fastest that...blahblahblah!

well DUH! of course its gonna create a sudden explosion of interest....for all the reasons Ive mentioned....IT HASN'T BEEN HEARD OR AVAILABLE before yesterday!

add that to the fact that its the slowest time of the year music sales wise and really these stats mean jacksh!t. Totally predictable, totally expected.

Quit deluding yourselves that these stats somehow prove its an amazing song because it certainly is not! Cliched, derivative, clumsy, TIRED and patronising more like.

Gay twinks rejoice...but the rest of us are just yawning.

I predicted a huge backlash and here it comes....

[Callum]

How will it not be a big worldwide hit when it's #1 on every single iTunes store in the world? :conf: It may not have the longetivity her previous singles had, but it's still a hit.

pull your head out her ass and you might see the backlash

suddenly her claims that her new album is the future and perfection look laughable and embarrassing. I think she's really starting to believe all the hype about herself.

[Harry!]

If you pull your head out of your ass you'll realize that you are wanting to see her fail, and you are annoyed that she hasn't. Okay, you don't like the song but that doesn't mean that it's only a success because of the hype. If somebody was just curious about hearing it, they wouldn't download it on iTunes, they would listen for free on YouTube.

[Iceman]

I do recall this being branded as "the anthem of a generation", funny cause it most definitely is not.

[Smithy]

You're the last generation that's why Eoin :nono:

[Stephanie]

[Iceman]

Define generation. It's certainly not what ot was hyped up to be.... I mean months in advance she spun this crap out with the VMA's and the lyrics leaking thing and then you got that? I'd be pretty pissed off if I was handed that and told "there you go this is the anthem of a generation". It's nothing more than an album filler song and the "little monsters" bent over and took it..... Number 1 in every country in the world for all I care it's still rubbish and the fact everyone is so keen to defend it speaks volumes. :hugesmile::hugesmile:

[Zippy]

the Gaga sheep were always gonna rush to buy it as some kind of loyalty badge. So no1 in the charts was a done deal.

but its the doubters, sceptics and fence sitters that she really needed to win over. And she has totally failed with this song.

Musically she's shot herself in the foot and just reinforced the Madonna wannabe claims. The woman is a plagiarist through and through.

Generation: People of roughly the same age :conf2:

And regardless of if you both dislike it, the critics seem to disagree. a lot.

[Iceman]

Yeah people of roughly the same age..... that would be me I'm in this generation no? It's not my anthem far from it.

Why the talk of critics? I thought this whole thread was about if we (by "we" I mean my generation) love or hate the song and we (again by "we" my generation) voted in this pole and it seem more than double hate it.....

I wasn't specifically talking about media critics. Just the everyday ordinary millions who havent been sucked in and brainwashed into thinking she's something never seen before in pop.

Well, either way it's breaking records and selling well, I don't think she particularly cares whether or not people who aren't fans dislike it

EXPRESSING YOURSELF: Whether or not it sounds like Madonna's "Express Yourself" or "Vogue," Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" appears headed to around 500k downloads in only three days after hitting the web yesterday. Apparently, her first-day sales will not top the 651k Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" did on Christmas 2009, but it's still an impressive total, which could climb even higher with a Grammy performance tomorrow night. Stay tuned. The Interscope album itself drops May 23.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

There's nothing to love or hate, It's insignificant to me. It sounds like a continuation to her other album. Comparing her to Madonna is an insult to Madonna. Madonna evolved from Album to album mama monster brought out the same sound. Madonna could rock a simple brown hair and a simple t **** and jeans and still sell. Would gaga without all the gimmicks?

Little monsters reply:bitch what the f do you know about music. She would sooooooooooo sell without all the gimmicks.

Go listen to The Fame then The Fame Monster, fan or not people recognize that as a massive leap foreward in the quality of her music

Her and Nicky minaj hype jst leaves me baffled. I just don't get it. It must be because there's not a lot of variety nowadays. If it's not black eyed peas on top it's rihanna. I guess people are craving and these two fill up the space well.

Both of them are talent musicians who both write their own, catchy songs. The Black Eyed peas haven't been on top for ages, their past two albums have been utterly atrocious and in comparison to Rated R, Rihanna's new album is pretty poor too.

Yo dawg this is an David Bowie, Vanilla Ice situation.

I'm not sure if Madonna cares. But I don't see this becoming an Nicky minaj lil kim situation.

[reece(:]

its a load of rubbish, anti-climax certainly!

[Deirdre]

I think it's ok. But it's very bad compared to other Gaga singles which I think is why most people are pissed off. Not to mention it was way too over-hyped. Popjustice said it's one of the best songs of the past 10 years or something. Er, what?
Also,the lyrics make me cringe every time I hear it :(
Let's just pray that this is one of the weaker songs on the album. :S

[Callum]

I hope Judas is amazing, just from the song title I have a good feeling about it. Gaga seems to very biblical lately, lots of references to God in Born This Way and then she has a new song called Judas, who was the disciple who betrayed Jesus for gold.

[Zippy]

Let's just pray that this is one of the weaker songs on the album. :S

well aparently she had an inspired 10 minutes(that long?) in which she wrote this crap....then the rest of the album just poured out with ease. Like diarreah probably.

so don't get your hopes up if this was the inspiration

[Twilight]
