Posted: 4/16/11 at 4:23amI am not a fan. I think there is intelligent, thought provoking music that pushes the cultural envelope and it's great, but this feels like she is writing it to shock. Besides, the 3 times she keeps saying over and over refers to Peter who denied Jesus, not Judas who betrayed him.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

You know how The Simpsons or Animaniacs take a well-known song and invert a few notes to make an obvious parody? It sounds like she did that to Bad Romance in this one.
But I'll give it time. Like in Erik's case, her songs tend to grow on me over time (though Born This Way never has...)

I thought that, too! I was afraid to say anything, though, because I thought Borstalboy might yell at me!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I don't like the time changes, I felt the ones in Born this Way interrupted the flow in a similar way.
Being a part-time Jungian, I'm very much in favor if juxtaposing Jesus and Judas, as opposed to the more archetypal Jesus v. Satan. By using that, and imagining them her boyfriends, she knows that one represents her acceptable self and the other her shadow. Since even Oprah has gotten hip to Jung, I think it's fun to hear it so front and center in a pop song.

Posted: 4/16/11 at 1:19pmI like the chorus a lot. But I can't understand anything else.

I think I'm Gaga'ed out.
Overkill.
Too much. Too soon. Too little time to deal with it.
I can't help but recall Dale Bozzio with this new 'look'.

Posted: 4/21/11 at 9:27amI'm so over her. Anyone who (or whose people) treat Weird Al they way she (they) did isn't worth my time

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

Does she only know how to write dance music? I haven't been following her, but it seems every song of hers I've heard has the same beat and, frankly, they're all starting to blend together in my mind. She should write a ballad every now and then. Change it up.
Oh, and my favorite lyric from the song, only 'cause it's so bad:
I've learned love is like a brick you can
Build a house or sink a dead body
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
