15 years of BTW. Not to date myself but way back in 2010 I joined ATRL solely for BTW updates. I was pretty active in the BTW threads. Figured I'd leave afterwards but unfortunately I can't quit ATRL. (No matter how many years of server problems).

I still remember us gathering and waiting for the single to drop on the radio.

It's still her best work, with no skips. A true 10/10.

For those that weren't there, I invite you on a trip down memory lane… when the album art cover was revealed:

HAPPY BORN THIS WAY DAY!

I think I joined ATRL just before TFM came out, so I was here to enjoy every little tease, every snippet, and every early performance leading up to Born This Way, and it has always been my fondest recollection in terms of eras. It was just so good right from the start, though it ended tragically short when her hip gave out.

Electric Chapel will always be my number one Gaga song on my number one Gaga album.

Been blasting this album all day, even the little hiccups that I don't like as much as the rest (BK, FOHL).

Oh gosh, I guess this album is in its Bad Kids era now, she's 15-years old.

I envy you guys for having the memories of being on ATRL and Gaga releasing back-to-back-to-back classic albums. How was it? Did many users envy her? Did they try to bring her down?

The BTW era was fine - there were a few moments of mess like Born This Way/Express Yourself, Judas leaking, TEOG video, the album cover release (I shared a link if you want to experience it), Amazon selling it for 99 cents, the initial BTW Ball shows, and the MTN movie/video. (I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting). We were ATRL's IT girl at the time - even though almost every other MPG also released in 2011. I think the big rivalry at the time was Britney?

It was ARTPOP were things got really messy. Living through that in real time was something. I still got battle scars from that.

One-minute-long fan music video for already existing music video getting all the awards instead of Garden Of Eden (Mini-Film) which wasn't even planned.

I will never get over this.

Everyone was trying to bring her down at all times. Her career is long enough that you can see how the way people "drag" artists has changed

Over the years it's interesting to see how many people that follow me on instagram and then later saw that I was on ATRL It's happened like 3 or 4 times and I'm like

In case no one's ever seen this:

She's been a target for as long as I remember. And as Hollywood. mentioned, there were so many hiccups along the way 😂 But the sheer volume of promo was incredible, it was easy to not dwell on anything because she fed her fans so much that era.

I remember everyone hoping the cover reveal was one of the "three betrayals of Judas" 😂 And when everyone stayed up to watch the release of the MV for TEOG thinking it would be a mermaid and the Brooklyn Bridge and it ended up being… that. 😂

For all of that, the good, the bad, Born This Way was an amazing time to be her fan.

No worries, I'll open the floor for something this base hasn't discussed before.

What would have been a better lead for Chromatica: Alice or Replay?

Replay because it has a bridge

Enigma is one of our girls best songs. WOW
