Members Adam Posted July 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) This, along with Speechless are a break from her usual song and dance of over the top theatrics.... she really can sing if she wants to. There is no doubt there. I really am enjoying this track. Edited July 12, 2010 by Adam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 I like it, though I have to admit it kinda feels like a Speechless retread to me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 Well thanks to Y&RWorldTurner and a quick Google search, here is how to get Gaga's "glamazon look": http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/TheGlossip/archive/2011/02/10/exclusive--the-down-low-on-lady-gaga-s-new--glamazon--look.htm LOL. I like the photo, but the song isn't even dreadful. It's just there. Absolutely blah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I love the lyrics, even if they are a little heavy-handed, but even in their heavy-handedness, they're necessary. I do have to wonder if they knew what they were doing with the words "chola" and "orient." I mean, "Latin" could fit for "chola" and "Asian" for "orient." That way, you run less risk of some obscure civil rights group burning your posters. The music...eh. The verse melody sounds SO much like Waterfalls, in that "I'm-a tell ya'all a story, y'all just ain't gonna believe it...tsk tsk tsk" kind of way.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) The song sounds like a very bad Kylie Minogue b-side... But of course the rabid section of her fanbase will proclaim it as the most innovative thing EVER! I've never seen an artist in recent times so unoriginal that constantly gets credit for somehow being original.

Members Sylph Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 She's announcing it as the best album of the decade. What?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Her hype machine is insane, and I hope this triggers a backlash on her ass. When you hype stuff up to the extent that she and her management does, people are bound to be disappointed with the final product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 I sincerely hope it does, although I am doubtful at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yep! I love her for who she is and what she represents for many people, predominantly the gay community, but the last thing I love her for is her originality or her ego... she needs to stop trying so damn hard, and just embrace that she is a pop musician that makes decent pop music that plays well to the masses and does well in the clubs. She needs to stop claiming to be "the best of the decade" and all this B.S... the simple fact is she cannot even begin to touch Madonna in terms of icon status or talent. The claim she is somehow an icon is quite hallow (and even hollower when it comes from her or her people). She is a very insecure person. On the song "Born This Way".... if it had been released like any other pop song without such fanfare and hype, it is a decent song. Its catchy, and will be great on a dance floor. The hype though was bound to make it seem underwhelming, which it totally did. I heard it this morning and seriously was like wtf?. I think its a good message she is trying to send, but I feel it could have been communicated better. She claims she wrote it in 10 minutes, if that is the case.... she should have spent at least 20 lol. Oh well, I'll await the album.... with reservation. I try to ignore all that ego b.s and just enjoy it for the poppy music it is, but it gets rather tiring. As far as pop music goes though, its a step down from the production on The Fame Monster. HUGE step down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 I have a friend who's first generation Asian-American and she HAAAAAAAAAAAATES the term "oriental." She hates it. I mean, I can kind of understand it...it would be as off-putting as saying "colored." It's not "the n word" but it's still not PC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
