Sooo I'm really excited because at the end of August I'm seeing Lady Gaga in concert... so I'm like "Ohhh I need to listen to Gaga like all month!" So that I can appreciate the concert more... I've been wanting to see Gaga forever and Born This Way is my favorite... I've listened to it about a million times... but I haven't heard it recently so... I needed to listen to it again and see if it stacked up. And it pretty much did.
The weird thing though... I always kind of think of this as a perfect album... but there are so many songs I don't totally "LOVEEEEEEEE" on this. I like Bloody Mary a lot... don't love it. Electric Chapel might be my favorite of the "eh" songs... Highway Unicorn is kind of up there... I could do without the Jesus is the New Black" song... Bad Kids I think I liked when I just listened to it... but I didn't really remember it and even now I'm like "hmm... idk about this." I didn't love Marry The Night when I first heard it... but now I kind of love it... it's been stuck in my head for the last few days and I just really like it. The Queen and Fashion of His Love are also kind of ehh... I remember fashion of his love and I like it... but ehhhh.
I think some of the most underrated songs are on this album too. I really like Government Hooker, Americano, Scheibe, Hair... these are all really great songs that no one really talks about. I loveeee these! These are some of my favorite songs.
The singles might be her most iconic also... the first big Lady Gaga song was Poker Face really... I think Just Dance was her first single... but Poker Face was when people were like "this chick is good!"... but really Born This Way is what I think of when I think of Lady Gaga! It's a great song and that's what she wants to be known for. She wants to tell people "Heyyy you were born this way. You're perfect the way you are." And that's a pretty damn cool thing.
You and I and Judas were also great singles from this album too! You and I was Gaga's first big genre change and it really worked for her... not every singer can really do that... she's very talented to be able to re-invent herself with every album. One of the reasons why I love her so much... so I think that is really cool.
This was also when Gaga was big into very big production movie-style music videos. They had some great videos and I used to love watching her videos! I'd always get excited for a new one!
I think that is just about all I have to say about it... which isn't a whole lot really... but I still loved it. Can't pick a favorite song from it... but most of them are better than okay... so I'm happy with it and I'm excited for this concert!!!
Byeee!
