So Lady Gaga released her latest single 'Born This Way' which you can hear below:
and of course all the Gaga 'Monsters' as her fans like to call themselves have gone bananas over the song, tweeting and posting like crazy.
Me?
meh. Not so much.
I, along with many other peoples on the interweb, happen to think the song has almost the exact same tune as Madonna's 'Express Yourself':
I mean, look at the titles of both songs:
Express Yourself.
Born This Way.
Aren't they both really just saying the same thing, that we are who we are (even Ke$ha is apparently in on it) and that we cannot change this, but instead we should just be free to be ourselves? Lady Gaga wasn't the first person to come up with this idea as many would like to believe.
Yes Lady Gaga uses the words 'gay', 'straight', 'bi', 'lesbian', and 'transgendered' within the song, something that no other artists of her level of fame has ever done, but in reality, the song has more of a dance feel to it than an actual soul-stirring, life affecting impact that we were expecting. (And Madonna's song was made during the 80's so she's forgiven). imjustsaying.
