Ubermensch Posted yesterday at 09:39 AM Posted yesterday at 09:39 AM (edited) Born This Way isn't just her signature song and her thesis statement for what she wants her legacy to be, it was also the perfect follow up to/extension of TF+M because she once again proved she understood celebrity culture better than anyone since Madonna with countless associated stunts(the meat dress when she unveiled it, the egg, the prosthetics, the ass out promo photo, her really letting her vocals shine for the first time, probably a bunch more I'm forgetting). Instead of being in service of a critique of that culture though, she did something constructive and used it all as a force for good. It was familiar but also a complete reinvention, which would become the main themes of her body of work. BTW brought together music and fashion and performance art and celebrity discourse and music videos. It was really political for its time too. BTW was an explosive declaration that Lady Gaga is, above all else, a multidisciplinary icon who is capable of showcasing her creativity in many ways, and that all of those talents can be laser focused onto a single point. There's a lot of recording artists who can write a 7 week #1, or do quick stunts for attention, or give incredible performances with choreo and live vocals, or deliver a spectacular 10 minute long music video, or who can speak out on social causes to bring about change, there's even at least one girlie who can write a song that sounds the damn same. There is nobody else who can do all of that at once. That was her big one. Edited yesterday at 09:50 AM by Ubermensch 12

JoeAg Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM I'm inclined to say Vanish into You because it's my current fav but Summerboy, Speechless, Heavy Metal Lover, The Edge of Glory, Sexxx Dreams, and Abracadabra could all work as well 1

SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted yesterday at 10:32 AM Posted yesterday at 10:32 AM Abracadabra or Bad Romance
iconicyayo Posted yesterday at 10:34 AM Posted yesterday at 10:34 AM aside from the obvious (BR, PF, paparazzi etc) i'd say: marry the night dance in the dark government hooker electric chapel scheisse venus and abracadabra despite only being two months old 1
Jay07 Posted yesterday at 10:36 AM Posted yesterday at 10:36 AM (edited) The Edge of Glory. It's epic, it's triumphant but bittersweet. Only Gaga in 2011 had the audacity and skill to pull off a dance song about crossing the threshold of mortal life to eternity. It's her best song. Edited yesterday at 10:39 AM by Jay07 3
