let's be honest - she could record her farts and release it, only for her fans to wax lyrical about how it inspires people to be okay about their flatulence

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....

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

Not a worldwide hit?

It was #1 in 22 countries within 12 hours.

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.

Hate.

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.

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

this.

I couldn't give a toss about Madonna or the song it's meant to be a rip off.

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.

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

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

And Zippy she didn't have to win over the sceptics/fence sitters, she's said numerous times the album is for the fans

[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.....
