Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

People are calling Lady Gaga's newest single "Born This Way" the new gay anthem and with lyrics like Don't be a drag, just be a queen" and "No matter gay, straight or bi/ Lesbian, transgendered life/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born to survive," it's hard to argue with that statement. I've heard a lot of opinions about the new song and I wanted to hear some of your opinions, for those of you who have heard it.

Personally I think it's kind of a step backwards for her. Listening to the song on the radio, you wouldn't know it's Lady Gaga if you hadn't heard about it already. It's missing that signature Lady Gaga "wtf factor". It sounds like it could be anybody. It sounds like The Spice Girls, or Madonna. It sounds like she traded in musical interest in this song and just went with provoking lyrics. And seriously, what's with showing up to the Grammy's in an egg??

  1. That's a shame, I haven't heard the single yet, but from what I'm hearing I'm prepared to be disappointed.
