I remember I was in a car seven years ago with my friend in Sungai Petani. We were listening to the radio and the announcer said that they will air a world exclusive premier of Lady Gaga's new single called Born This Way. I was at the edge of my car seat and waiting anxiously for the song to air. Most Little Monsters have been waiting for this song since 2009? When Lady Gaga sang a snippet of the song after she won VMA. Since then, Little Monsters around the world has been waiting for the masterpiece to arrive.
So on February 11th 2011, Born This Way finally hit the radio and the world was shaken to its core! It was a message from God. We are all beautiful in our way and we were born this way. The album cover is also one of the most iconic album cover of all time! I mean, who the hell would have thought of this? Gaga did.
After Born This Way, Lady Gaga released a club killer jam called 'Judas' on April 15 2011. It was also an instant hit and topped most chart around the world. However this song got banned in several countries including Malaysia. They say it touches sensitive issue like religion.
The third single from this album is The Edge Of Glory. Released on May 11 2011, this song sounds a little bit different from other song that Lady Gaga have done previously. The conflict behind the video was devastating but the final video didn't quite disappoint but still we know she can do more.
Taking the TEOG video concept to her fourth single, You and I is the redemption single for Speechless from The Fame Monster. I always wanted her to release her ballad as a single because her vocal is so powerful and most pop records didn't showcased that. The video is straight up Gaga's fairytale and that was when she met her ex fiance Taylor. Missing the good old days.
Marry The Night which was initially planned to be the lead single from the album was released as the fifth single. The video for Marry The Night should have won an Oscar, but she was robbed and didn't get any nomination.
Born This Way have a total of 14 tracks. Now lets see what are my favorites from Born This Way
Favorite Single : Judas
Favorite Song : Heavy Metal Lover
Favorite Video : Marry The Night
Born This Way era was sickening and the Born This Way Ball was one of the best tour ever! Lady Gaga is here to stay.
P/S: BTW Ball came to Singapore but I was too young to go there myself (Plus I'm broke as hell)
