Mario Testino for Vogue (see source and slide show here)
Sooo I know not everyone is gaga for Gaga like I am, but I feel kind of compelled to blog about her today. Her single “Born this Way” is going to be released tomorrow. I’m usually pretty stoked for any new Gaga anything, but I’m particularly giddy because I already love the lyrics. Elton John has called it our generation’s anthem and the gayest song he’s ever heard. So that’s a lot of hype, I know, but considering the lyrics, I think I’m gonna love it:
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
You’re black, white, beige, chola descent
You’re lebanese, you’re orient
Whether life’s disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
‘Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave
(Lyrics: Lady Gaga)
If you are wondering why I’m so Gaga obsessed, I think Vogue’s article “explains” her really well. Read it here.
Happy (almost) Friday, little monsters!!!
I am very excited for this song too. Great lyrics indeed.
I love Lady Gaga!!! I haven’t heard this song yet, but I am pumped for it already.
I am a GAGA freak. When BAD ROMANCE came out, I watched the video on loop for an hour. (ok, not that long, but long enough)and I love the way she performs.
I am not a huge fan of Gaga but I’ll be checking out her new song tomorrow

hi darlings. no im no gaga fan- but i wanted to stop by and wish you a great weekend. hope you’re having a good week so far

I am a super fruit fly and am all for gay anything. Especially drag queens and Gaga.
I’m not a big fan of Gaga’s music in terms of musicality, but for what she stands, I really have to applaud her. Not only is she a walking, living, breathing art exhibit, but she is also an exemplary human being trying to create awareness and equality.
An arty activist/performance artist, who happens to do music.
I love the idea of her!

Cant say I am her biggest fan but there is no denying her immense talent and for lack of a better word “visionary style sense” (am in a generous mood todaylol) I do like many of her songs and she has come on with a big banglets see if it lasts. Hope so.
new to blogging, love your blogso much fun! Having fun looking aroundplease visit mine, its new and about the building of our dream home and my passion for decor and lifes beautiful things! Have a wonderful weekend!
i thought the song was great! what did you think???
I heard it on the radio today for the first time! It is probably one of the gayest songs i’ve ever heard as well. I can’t recall the 80s song that she samples in it. but yes I’m sure it will grow on me.
She looks amazing on the cover of Vogue. And stunning in the picture above 🙂
