SO, BORN THIS WAY. It's all kind of cheesy and embarrassing and the spoken intro makes me want to stab myself in the face, BUT I STILL KIND OF LOVE IT? It's no Bad Romance, that's for sure, and I'll be disappointed if there aren't better songs on the album, but IDK, it's kind of irresistable. What does everyone else think?

In other news, earlier today I had an interview for the job I'm already doing. And it went pretty well! I usually suck at interviews, but I had some pretty positive feedback and I'm feeling good about it. I'm not sure if I'll get to keep my job or not but at least if I don't get it it won't be because I fucked up the interview.

I'm still making my mind up, I think. I definitely like it, but I'm not blown away - although this might just be your standard "nothing could've lived up to that amount of hype" situation, of course. Like you say, I hope there are better tracks on the album, but I'm happy enough with it.

Glad your interview went well this morning - fingers crossed for good news!

I think 'Born This Way' is sort of alright, but it's no 'Bad Romance' or 'Poker Face' or anything like that. I think Gaga doesn't really sound like herself here -- someone compared her to sounding too much like Madonna and I agree.

Yay, interview! Go team you!

I AGREE.

Radio 1 played it twice in a row and by the second time I found it awesome.

Bad Romance is like a different standard though but I don't care just coz it's her and she's ace.

Don't be a drag just be a queen is still my favourite part :D

Yeah, the intro is just wtf. But the gay in me, and clearly the crack addict in me LOVES IT. I'm lying in bed groving to this. I want to drive around with this playing REALLY LOUD. It's a shame this came out before Pride here! Holy shit, Sydney gay Mardi Gras. Wow, this is just going to be on repeat.

Honestly, I'm loving it. I'm seeing her in Boston in a month OMG OMG OMG and now I am even more pumped. It's so ridiculously Queer As Folk, I feel like it's kind of Madonna remixed for Babylon, but that doesn't stop me from dancing. Fuck originality, this is just FUN! and I feel like I should have a rainbow flag flying from my car window when I go driving around with this blaring out. Because it's just SO GAY AND I LOVE IT.

In fact, weirdly this feels more gay than Gaga. So fuck it, I'm going with a gay icon!

(Sorry, Gaga gives my capslock overdrive)
