As a hardcore Little Monster since 2008, I completely understand where you’re coming from. Your opinion is TOTALLY valid and true to your experience with this album. As someone who is part of the LGBT+ community, this album was a celebration for us. It’s over-the-top, theatrical, rebellious, sexy and flat out GAY. Not to say that it can’t be enjoyed by any straight person, but we cheered as we found an artist willing to bring issues to light and make music that we know we would enjoy. I applaud your journey and thank you for your reaction. This album is special to a lot of us and we love seeing others go through the experience!

Jairo, your comment express exactly how I felt during this video. It's a bible for us, we enjoyed every piece of Born This Way album since 2010's VMAs and the whole BTW journey was till 2012. Was two years of a massive production for us, her public, when music was not like its now, it was made 10 years ago.

This album gave me the courage to come out as gay to my religious family. I finally felt understood, not only by Gaga, but also by many other kids at the time going through the same thing. We started to feel proud of ourselves in an unapologetic way. This album also came out when gay marriage was still illegal. So we felt proud to be rebels (in a way) and stand up for love and equality. We were just a bunch of bad kids challenging the system.

[@fa9274]

@@BOOShawny Exactly, even disliked by some FANS!... I really think ARTPOP is misinterpreted in a lot of ways! Her record label did her dirty with this album, and + the fans and gp where not ready for such album right after "Born This Way". You know... some people say Joanne is Gaga's most personal record, or Chromatica or Born This Way. The truth is that I feel ARTPOP was her first most personal record, but under GAGA'S character perspective. We see this lyrically on AURA, DWUW, GYPSY, G.U.Y, SWINE, etc. And it's also reflected on the music. The chaos, the complexity of Gaga's character. Joanne is really the human side (Stefani's perspective) , Born This Way was about her past and owning her identity (Becoming Herself) , and Chromatica about her actual struggles with love, fame and herself. I gotta say that I love that Chromatica is kind of the perfect balance of Gaga and Stefani's perspectives. I really feel Chromatica is ARTPOP's twin in a way 🔥 Anyway... One thing I know for sure is that ARTPOP is so misunderstood, tricky to comprehend, but beautiful once you get it. And even if no one gets it, it's imposible to deny that musically is a BANGER 🔥🔥🔥🔥 AMEN ARTPOP.

[@ckaji15]

E F it’s the dirty record label for me. It’s hard to like something when the creator Lady Gaga has spoken about all the things that she wanted to do but never was able to because of her record label messing shit up... it sorta makes it feel like a fake album or an incomplete album that wasn’t able to be what it was supposed to be.

"Why do you like Lady Gaga so much? she's weird af." "What song drew you to her as a stan?" Born This Way was the album that made me a Lady Gaga full-blown stan. This album hits harder if you struggle being a homosexual, that's why you weren't feeling it. THAT'S FOR SURE. I grew up in a conservative environment and had homophobia kind of programmed into me. I've since learned how wrong I was. And as a teenager who's had a hard time dealing with his own identity, this record has shaped me into the confident, self-assured gay man that I am today. Lady Gaga was the ONLY artist who has helped me on my personal process of accepting who I was, and she's the reason I celebrate and embody my truth even from the deepest darkest part of my soul. Having someone as notable as gaga acknowledging your sexuality as valid, sacred, powerful, potentially world changing and that you weren't alone really helped me get through my teenage years and I can't thank her enough for that.

And that's all that matters. Everyone has a different taste.

I listened to this album for the first time when I was 14 I just felt that it was written for me. This help me with so much stuff that I was going through. It thaught me that is ok to be diferent and that I was born to stand out. This is not just an album, it's a life changing experience. Fucking love it 😩💖

[@judassigala]

My whole life was filled with bullying and rejection, also I was so confused by my sexual orientation back then and the fear of it as well, I loved this album bc for once I could celebrate my identity, I felt free of that, I could let my emotions explode when listening to the album

[@riodali938]

Kinda hurt u didn’t like the album it’s such an art and has a special place for me but maybe u just don’t understand its depth and story which is okay but idk if your gonna like Artpop 😭 its even more of a complex masterpiece wit more experimental sounds it was ahead of its time and when she released it people didn’t like it and it’s more crazy non stop sound lmao

[@korololo8466]

artpop is not more complex or experimental than btw lmaooo gurl. BTW is her peak in that department

[@TheRawr80]

He literally said "I think it's a great album," he liked it. What he disliked was how the album was curated and he's low-key right. It's just a really overwhelming album for the average listener; it sounds like a live concert album. Which is not a bad thing, just a completely different listening experience because it's mostly hard-hitting songs.

[@nickh5021]

@@korololo8466 Seriously. I am not understanding people who say that ARTPOP is more complex and experimental than Born This Way. I like ARTPOP, but ARTPOP is nothing new in sound. It uses the trends in EDM music that were popular at the time in every song.

[@volcrazy89]

@@korololo8466 I don't think Artpop is more complex -- and I think it's definitely more shallow lyrically, as a whole -- but it was definitely more experimental. It was heavy EDM before heavy EDM was a thing (I think it as one of Zedd's first mainstream projects), as opposed to rock-infused electropop which is what BTW is. I don't think he'll like Artpop, except for Dope and Gypsy lol.

Gaga thought every song as an individual with a strong liberating message on each one, that is why you feel them all different and not as part of a whole, Born This Way was meant to be an album full of anthems to which we can relate and identify ourselves with, that is why to me, it is her magnus opus on her career.

I don't care if straight people don't like it, this album made me feel accepted and saved my life❤️

[@jimenezbarbapabloxavier1929]

Who's waiting for an Artpop reaction?

[@Hugo-G]

The thing I learned very quickly with Lady Gaga's albums like Born This Way, Artpop, and Chromatica is that you cannot fully appreciate what they are doing with one listen. Gaga is more experimental than your typical pop star, and every listen makes you notice different things about the music. You're right this album in particular sounds way better live, but this is my favorite Lady Gaga album and my favorite one to listen to with headphones because the sound takes you somewhere else. It's exactly how I feel when I listen to David Bowie. She plays around so much with the vocal styles, heavy rock elements, and biblical lyrics. I guarantee a few more listens are required to dance to this album in your room, or while doing chores.

[@Marrythenightgaga101]

This is very true! As an OG Little Monster (since early-mid 2009) I absolutely hated Perfect Illusion from “Joanne” but months past and it is one of my favorites from Joanne! The key change to me highlights the song

He's doing a whole deep dive on this album.lyrics,videos etc across multiple videos.

Honestly, I feel his chief complaint was the lack of different sounds, and that things got a bit samey over time. If the queen was slapped in the middle it would've given a slight reprieve, with you and I releasing built tension more properly. I think he might like Artpop, it takes a lot of risks with all kinds of different sounds. But yeah, I think he will enjoy Joanne more.

Scheiße means "Shit" in German. And the German in the intro, chorus and outro wasn't actually German but just gibberish things. But even though it's just gibberish it still means something. She said that everyone say that she just say nonsense things so she made a song that actually is nonsense. But Scheiße is a woman empowering song.

[@VillanoMillano]

I was able to witness and experience this album live at The Born This Way Ball Tour on México City and all I can say to you is that was FUCKIN' HUGE and MONUMENTAL. She completely nailed the show, she sang for more than two hours in that GIGANTIC stage. Was amazing T_T

Why are y'all saying he disliked the album? Did we watch the same video? He literally said he thinks it's a great album at the end and even liked most of the songs. The critique he had of the album was not that it was bad, but that it's almost entirely hard hitting house and edm songs, which leaves very little breathing room. So, this isn't the type of album most people who listen to casually; it has a very clear live-venue vibe. It makes sense that *fans* would like it for this reason, but most casual listeners WILL get tired of hearing a lot of the same genre and tempo wise. This is also why he said some of the tracks have a hard time standing out.

[@nmm3520]

When I first listen to albums, I feel like everything sounds the same too 😅. I think you're right that listening a second time might change your opinion or maybe not 🤷🏻‍♂️ and that's okay!

I think the album hit different on you when you're passing by some kind of insecurance or fear about yourself. I've first listen to it when I was 14 and by that time I was been harsh to myself about my sexuality as a bisexual. Feeling that it was wrong, idk. The power on this album made me think about self love and self respect, you know, I'm born this why! Hahaha. But now, years later, I can understand that the entire album with no breaks can be a little too much for somes. The tracks really don't change too much musically.

i had a sense of euphoria when i listened to scheiße for the first time and it was with headphones. she recorded most of this album while she was touring on the road which is why it has that live feel. she specifically didn't want any slow songs (like with chromatica) so even tho a song may have sad lyrics you can still dance to it. i would give it a second listen cause each song really is very different (again, like chromatica which are all upbeat).

[@lucasgodoi9052]

Born This Way came out when I was 14 years old, in the darkest time of my life when I was very depressed, used to be bullied at school and I was feeling bad with myself because I was discovering my sexuality and didn't accept it. It was a really rough time because I had no one to talk to and my family was too religious and close minded. But then Born This Way came and Gaga became my best friend. She was the first person to tell me that is ok to be gay, that it wasn't my fault and that I wasn't going to hell because of that. The album and Gaga herself, of course, really helped me that time. I love Gaga since The Fame, but with BTW she really got me. Now I am so much better and loving myself, thank God, and even though I don't listen to Born This Way that much anymore, that is the album that will be always in my heart and mind because it was a mark in my life. I know we have to accept other people's opinions, but BTW is like untochable for all of us, almost sacred, and maybe someone who is straight will never understand this.

I have a Born This Way tattoo on my left arm. This album came out when I was in high school and I was bullied then. And this album helped me survive this time and accept everything about myself, especially my sexuality. Among all GaGa albums this one has the strongest meaning to me and after the Fame (that is very sentimental) it's my favourite album. I'm glad that you noticed one of the most important things when it comes to music on BTW - that it should be listened to live. It's true, but also I love listening to it on my earphones :D well I really respect your opinion on it tho. Much love!

Taylor was so hyped up about this album lol I imagine it's the favorite album for most of the Little Monsters. I've been a fan of Gaga since The Fame, so Born This Way was my third album experience, and man what an experience! It's my favorite album: it's the mix of instruments, the mix of genres, it's the positivy, it's the freedom. It is a very well produced album, it's got pop for the radio and pop for us fans. I was 14 and a boy who needed someone to talk about the freedom I deserved, someone to tell me I was born this way and that's it. I never hype anyone about something I love, music for example, cause at the end of the day it hits everyone differently, but just by the fact that you really enjoyed a few songs it makes me feel good cause after all one more person got to listen to Born This Way 🤘

I see how a lot of first listeners or new fans say most of the songs on born this way sound the same she wanted it to sound like all one big army of songs, electric chapel is my favourite, I’ve listened to this album millions of times, even some of the songs backwards.

[@franciscobarajas9262]

Pure Skillz what it has to do with it being straight is that art is meant for certain audiences. This album was made for the gays and for people who are big Gaga fans. This isn’t a general public album people hated Judas when it came out. People hated Born This Way. Like the amount of fans who love Schibe but the GP don’t know about it, is a clear example. This album was meant for a specific group of people who were going to resonate. Obviously if you haven’t gone through anything the lyrics are signing about you aren’t going to love it as much.
