Ironically enough, this is my groundbreaking 200th post of my new blog, BLADE 7184, and what better way to celebrate an achievement than writing about a phenomenal song.If there is a better way to describe this track I would. I felt a little reserved, because of the somewhat mediocre song that Britney Spears released, but this cries a true artist through and through. I have never heard anything close to this creation. It's upbeat, somewhat techno, somewhat club kids, somewhat retro mixed in together; it's what Gaga truly presents herself to be, an original.
The Lady writes and produces her own music and I can see why people are in such awe of her. I have posted the vocals and the lyrics for your enjoyment. She truly makes a Gay person, like myself, or any straight person for that matter, happy to be BORN THIS WAY. Love it, I do.
Listen to the premiere of Born This Way by Lady Gaga:

I love it! I love the music and I love the message especially too. Yes, it's no Bad Romance, Telephone or Pokerface, but that's not the point. It's its own piece of work with a positive message that's meant to hopefully change some hearts and minds, but ultimately speak for those that might not have always been able to stand up for themselves. I'm proud to say that I'm Born This Way, but I'm even happier to have a music icon like Gaga say it. Now that's not to ignore the other artists of the past and present that have fought for us too. Cher, Madonna, Pink, Cindy Lauper and others have all dedicated their careers to their fans, especially to their gay ones, but now is Gaga's time to shine and she definitely deserves the admiration and appreciation that we all want to give to her now in this very special moment. I'm already shaking with anticipation over the rest of her album. I just can't wait for Born This Way.
