Usually when artists release their music, people tend to make a cover of the song within several days or months. Hell, even Justin Bieber and James Blunt tried to do a cover yesterday on Ellen.
But not this time...
Lady Gaga released her new self-titled track, Born This Way earlier this morning with positive and negative reviews. Regardless of the outcry, within minutes if not a few hours, the hit single became the #1 Selling iTunes download in 21 countries.
And with the releases, come new versions...
First up: Ulrik Munther - the Swedish version of Justin Bieber, has released a sample, and it's actually quite good.
Second Look: Drew Tabor - a you tube artist who learned and sang the song in 15 minutes and now considers "Born This Way" her favorite song to date.

I think you might have had a point earlier my love. It's not whether it's the best of Gaga's songs to date or if it may sound like Madonna; it's about what the song means and it's straight forward, unapologetic lyrics. Imagine if we have more and more people listening to the song, singing it and then creating their own versions with those very same words. An important message of love, equality and tolerance is now being shared around the world, in a time when we especially need it most. Gaga has not given us something that merely hints at equality for ALL people, it freak'n says it word for word throughout the entire song. And even if the people that really need to hear this message probably don't listen to Gaga anyway, she is still doing what she can to not only change the music scene for the better but also make this world a better place for all the bullied, the disabled, the gay, bisexual, transexual and lebanese and also all the cholos too. She is not singing about going to the club or having something "held against her", whatever that may be, she's talking about us. I'm listening. Are you?
