It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

WOAH OH OH OH OH OH WOAH OH OH OH...

Britney Spears' new song,"till the world ends" was released this morning and considering that the song was co-written by Ke$ha (a sorry excuse for a musician), I'd have to give her an 8 for effort and a 10 for making it a sure club-hit.  While the song does remind me a little of Ke$ha's style, it is by far a million times better than "Hold It Against Me."  

Can I say that again?  It's a MILLION TIMES BETTER! 

The new song only has two verses and the rest is chorus, chorus, chorus.   

Okay, this is off subject but what I just wrote reminded me of a  part in the movie, "Trick" where Perry gives Gabriel advice on removing a verse from a song Gabriel had written...
 
Perry - Honey, get it out of there. Just go to the chorus. That's the fun part
                  
Gabriel - But what about all the setup?
                 
Perry - Gabriel!   Songwriters have been doing the verse-chorus thing forever.  It's tired.  Be                a maverick.  What's the function of a verse?  To kill time till we get to the chorus.                    During the verse, we wait. We are waiting for the chorus. Just give us what we want.            Chorus, chorus, chorus! 

And it's true, Britney has given you what you've wanted.  The question is... can Britney bring on the style and energy this song delivers and make it into an amazing live performance and awesome music video?

BORN THIS WAY - SIMPLY PHENOMENAL!!!

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.

Justin Bieber sings Born This Way by Lady Gaga

What do you do when Britney Spears is on your ass, releasing these 2 second teasers everyday until her music video (forgot the name of it) premiere?

Release your lyrics to "Born This Way" to the whole world so that everyone can make their own covers; they sound somewhat decent.  But that is exactly what Lady Gaga did.  Everyone is up in arms about her release tomorrow, including my partner, Ryan.  I'm just sort of blah about it until I hear the song.  If Britney couldn't impress me, I'll wait to see what Gaga can do.

Well... in order to tease America and the world even more, Ellen incorporates James Blunt and Justin Bieber to perform their own versions Gaga's, "Born This Way" on national television.  Their covers, including Ellen's very own rendition are in the video below, enjoy.
