The album earned her six Grammy nominations and two wins as well as a slew of other awards recognition, including a record setting thirteen MTV Video Music Award nominations.

Only the 19th single to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (issue date February 26,2011), the recording was Lady Gaga's third #1 on the chart. "Born This Way" was Gaga's 7th single to hit #1 at Top 40.

A pop creation so skilled and pure it took record companies decades of hard work in a lab to fabricate. With all the perfect ingredients added into the star maker machine to create and puppeteer the every move of this impeccable artist. But in truth. Gaga is the complete polar opposite of that, her vision and her artistic integrity is all her own. It's as genuine as it is incredible. Her ability to lace Music, Art and Fashion into one powerful cohesive arrangement is astonishing! Before Lady Gaga pop music seemed like it was destined for doom, with a nasty reputation of lip syncing broads and talentless hot bods riding on the coat tails of other people's music and vision. Lady Gaga has single handedly flipped the music industry upside down and has made Pop matter again, and you can tell by the huge amounts of hate she receives. Since when have people devoted so much of their time to see the demise of someone?? Eyeing...

Mott (East Dubuque, IL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Born This Way (Special Edition) (Audio CD) If you come into Born This Way and expect to hear the exact same type of dance-pop that laced The Fame and, to a lesser extent, The Fame Monster, you will likely be a bit disappointed with this album. It isn't bubblegum.Have you ever looked up videos of a young Gaga on YouTube? Have you watched stripped down performances of her dance-pop singles? If you have then you should realize that at her heart Lady Gaga is a rocker chick who has an instinctive ability to break these songs down to a pop enough core that they connect with a broader audience. However, in Born This Way, Gaga didn't feel the need to break the songs down as far as she did previously. I think this is smart as it keeps her about 30 paces ahead of the Gaga mimickers who have sprung up during the past two years and the established stars who have transitioned to trying to claim a piece of her thunder (Katy Perry, I love your music too, but your public persona has become more and more Gaga in the past...

She reassured me that their technical teams are working diligently to solve the problem.Also, she mentioned not downloading any other songs or albums until they fix the backlog, since any more songs added to your cloud player might be placed on queue. Therefore, preventing you from being able to download the songs to your iTunes or other music player. So, please be patient little monsters because I know we have all been waiting for her album for quite some time now. You still cannot beat the price of this album compared to other music stores out there. Just keep checking your cloud player until all of the songs get downloaded. I hope this review gives people a piece of mind that the album will eventually be downloaded... Read more |
