Week 46: Lady Gaga Week! #3 - Born This Way

[@andreblackaller3560]

This song saved my life, I was 13 closeted in a catholic family with 4 brothers. There’s no way to describe how important it was for people like me to hear that you’re not wrong just by being born, god makes no mistakes ❤

[@stevemorales]

God bless you brother. We love you ❤

[@JacobS5005]

Hearing this helped me come out and accept myself too! Paws up! We are born this way and on the right track baby! ❤

[@cammeii_]

So you had trauma and instead of asking for help, you chose to be something you’re not and join a community full of other mentally ill traumatized beings, nice!

[@CherryBerry-bm2wx]

i love born this way sm 😭💗🤞🏻🎀💄👠✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🏳️‍🌈🌈

[@maikopasma9176]

The problem is that the people who are gonna hate on you don't understand that either you're born this way or you simply can't control it, they're gonna think you chose it

[@mrmarco1204]

This entire era literally saves lives. Search on it. Thats why shes the artist she is.

[@JoseGarcia-fe8is]

Sadly not the tattooed guy that she dances with Rick Genest, He die at 32 😞 apparently he ended his life

[@oxiecontin]

@@JoseGarcia-fe8isthat was what it was ruled as at the start but they actually found out that is was a freak accident in the end. Rick had too much to drink and ended up falling off his balcony.

[@tiediedcurls3429]

Something important to note- hearing the lyrics ‘no matter gay straight or bi lesbian transgender life / I’m on the right track baby I was born to survive’ on a song about being born perfectly was 👏 revolutionary. Especially for 2010/Ish? Coming from a world renown up and coming pop star - huge. And Gaga’s international support of LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ rights has been instrumental. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ClaytonGoldhawk]

Couldn't say it better. This beautiful lady waved around the pride flag in Russia and almost was arrested because of it. She has always pushed through to represent the queer community no matter what and I love her sm for that.

[@alexandergrant1]

they dont give a shit, just reacting for views, you can 100% tell, but yeah... atleast we know it

[@heirloom906]

The ending references are to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson (White Gloves) and the Queen of Pop (Teeth Gap), Madonna. Hence, she’s the embodiment both of them in one.

[@camilaloaiza7731]

A year later but just to add, the sound is a reference to Express Yourself by Madonna, not Vogue.

[@nnajiugochukwu3810]

"paparazzi" shud be next 💪, so iconic

[@lexiegrey-4075]

Yessss then Telephone

[@kianobosa48]

Yaaaassss

[@cristopher6366]

PLEASE, I STAN!!!!

[@gaius5901]

2009-2011 Lady Gaga era was a huge self awakening era for my own life. Her music, especially the entire BTW album helped me truly find myself as a person and who I was meant to be

[@ryuuuukii]

people have no idea how many lifes were saved by gaga by this album, mine included. it was really revolutionary and controversial, I love love LOVE her for this. she has been activist for lgbtqia+ rights since the beginning of her career. she’s even banned from russian for speaking her mind and giving support to her fans from the community. she’s always be a rebel and that’s so rare in today’s pop music.

[@DamienHurts]

Joe (guy with the stache) is so incredibly wholesome! His smile and his response to this song is so adorable. What a sweetheart

[@user-sf5fk6ox4c]

@Damien Yes, they're both so cute'n cool !!😊

[@jezzdiva87]

Joe’s moustache has me pregnant! 👀

[@TheMaggieCarpenter]

It’s a crime there wasn’t a single song from the Artpop album chosen for her week. It’s her most underrated album, but conceptually the most brilliant.

[@MiracleWinchester]

ARTPOP 🥺

[@GuyloveARTPOP]

Artpop my favorite album

[@jpbriones21]

When y’all mentioned about the first time it played in the club or radio, when I first heard her sing it live at her Born This Way Ball show, she said, “Tonight, you’re fucking free” and I felt it. It was one of the greatest moments of my life!

[@judeless77]

When I heard this song for the first time, I was stuck in traffic because there’d been an accident up the road. I was not in a good mood. This came on so I turned my stereo up as loud as it could get. I opened my car doors and laid on the hood of my car. Zero fucks given.

[@adalbertoaccarvalho]

From Bowie to Madonna. We got GAGA. This video saved my life!

[@fujita.8169]

in terms of music videos here's my top 5 as of now: 5. Applause 4. Bad Romance 3. Born This Way 2. 911 1. Marry the Night

[@JoaoAntonio-hy3up]

1- telephone 2- born this way 3- Alejandro 4- bad romance 5- edge of glory

[@ThrifterPicker]

Marry the Night is my fav too!

[@juancarloscastanocastaneda8776]

Dont be a drag, just be a Queen 🎁

[@Mermaid_Luna]

Lady Gaga was always a rock star doing pop music she’s always been so bad ass and gave me confidence to be myself her Born This Way album saved my life as a LGBT youth who didn’t want to be myself.

[@harkiratsingh9958]

I'm waiting for telephone , literally a moment in pop music when two icons - lady gaga and Beyonce , came together.

[@itsrumple2544]

and britney

[@runeguardian]

That final scene in the video at approximately 9:55 is reference multiple pop culture icons including Ziggy Stardust aka David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Madonna to name a few. it incorporates elements of their iconic performances like Michael's diamond glove, Madonna's unique features, and the starry sparkling of David's Ziggy Stardust signature walk. This video has a lot of easter egg references within it to many pop culture sources that are all related to the LGBTQ+ community. We are ALL Born This Way.

[@gabrielechevarria3343]

Y’all definitely need to watch marry the night

[@kevinjaramillo4624]

In the monologue of the video when Gaga talks about the begging of a new race she’s talking about her fans the “Little monsters” that are open-mind and a race that has no prejudices and whose main ambition in life is to inspire unity and solidarity and the other race is the humanity that is judgmental and mean that’s why is representantes with a gun and with darkness later she says “how I can’t protect something so perfect without evil” because she’s like our mother

[@kevinjaramillo4624]

The song was very controversial, different religious groups made protests for the meaning of the song and because Gaga mentioned god actually the song was censored in Malaysia

[@kevinjaramillo4624]

BTW was the first song in history on be #1 in iTunes in just hours also the song had the second best debut on the billboard hot 100, this song broke so many records and was #1 in billboard for 6 weeks and the song had the best selling in his two first weeks, was the second song since 2003 in be #1 after his debut and after the 6 weeks in the 7 weeks was #1 in the top of pop songs

[@missbvlogs7553]

This is the song of my Life this song changed me and my life and made me proud for who i am today and celebrate no matter wat color race and sexuality you are now and i love this song so much.. and because this is my all time favourite song of Mother Monster, I just memorized her monologue on the intro

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

Aww. I still tear up when I watch this video. R.I.P Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy aka Rico the Zombie (Guy with the skull tattoos)

[@LeitoFLL]

[@GfYs86]

The first time this song was played live was in a gay club. It was the most amazing thing I will ever experience in my lifetime.

[@eatntell]

yeah the first time people heard this song was really a moment among dance pop fans. but not the way you're thinking

[@acamilourrea]

PERSONAL FAVS FOR WEEK 2: - Paparazzi & Telephone (2 different videos but the same storyline) - Marry The Night - G.U.Y (An ARTPOP Film) - 911 (Short Film) - John Wayne

[@TheChick24]

I think the sandals had to do with the fact that she'd just recovered from breaking a hip and this video was, I believe, the first time she actually got up and danced after. Can't risk it in big ass heels so soon lol.

[@isagaga9728]

Marry the night MV is amazing, I recomend it

[@maiawaive9566]

As a queer Christian this changed MY WHOLE LIFE! “There’s nothing wrong with LOVING who I am because He (Yahweh) made me this way!”

[@rogeraca]

@A had a certain similarity musically ✌🏼 we love when queens combine somehow ✌🏼

[@rogeraca]

@A Yes I know. I meant musically connected, lyrically they're really different.

React to Born this way performance at the grammys 2011 please

[@carlwadley1175]

Joe reacted to TEOG so much better, sorry Mike :)

[@salatkiel]

2:10 - It is 100% supposed to be the shape of the female reproductive system. It's called G.O.A.T., a Government-Owned Alien Territory. 7:29 - Try blasting this song in the car by yourself. It's an experience. For the LGBT community, this song is so near and dear to our hearts. It's unapologetic, triumphant, and celebratory. Blasting this at a Pride event is required. 8:16 - They're not sandals 😂 they're something dancers use to turn more efficiently so the balls of your feet aren't rubbed raw with all the turns you do. This was one of the first times we saw her not in heels and people in the fandom definitely noticed. 10:02 - No, it's not Madonna. She had a gap when she was little and she was made fun of for it. It's since been "fixed" but she wanted it put back in for the video about embracing your differences and insecurities to celebrate that part of her she never got to celebrate. 10:15 - Ugh, it was 'Express Yourself' because they said it had the same notes or progression or whatever the fuck. Gaga-hating Madonna fans still use this to spark fights on Twitter, but the two are friends in real life so who cares anymore?

[@lucasoliver7886]

[@bladerees5919]

Those are ovaries lol

[@kristianberg4264]

No, the connection between this song and Madonna was Madonna’s song Express Yourself, as this song is a more pretentious carbon copy or dupe, if you like.

[@danielnarvaez8]

NO, MADONNA NO. 👎🏻

[@lexboogie2]

Beyonce beyonce beyoce

[@jyotidevnath9552]

She is so underrated ... But Taylor riri Drake these r so overrated

[@chagora1989]

Annoying as hell.

[@samrodriguez4947]

R.I.P. zombie boi

[@Markyajv]

I'm a huge fan of Madonna. However when this song came out she was interviewed and she was asked what she thought of this song, because everybody was comparing it to Express Yourself, and she called it reductive. This song is about equality and loving yourself.. I mean it's all there in the lyrics. Express Yourself is a women's empowerment song. So how is this song reductive at @Madonna ? With ✌️&❤️ Edit: re·duc·tive /rəˈdəktiv/ adjective tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude. "such a conclusion by itself would be reductive"

[@krijgertje6670]

Referencing Gaga, madonna said: “She’s a very talented artist. I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done. [Her songs seem to be a] statement about taking something that was in the zeitgeist, you know, 20 years ago and turning it inside out and reinterpreting it.”When asked about the similarities between the two tracks, meanwhile, she said: When I heard [‘Born This Way’] on the radio… I said, ‘That sounds very familiar’… It felt reductive.

[@Markyajv]

@@krijgertje6670 I sort of think it was just a fake beef between the two since I've seen many, many pictures of the two of them together. In fact there are 4 photos of them together from different years laying on the same plush white carpet or huge blanket, in different clothes. Maybe at the met gala or some awards party.

[@flazeda8743]

Madonna was shady towards Gaga for "copying" a song she herself borrowed from the staples singers...

[@rafaelvieira3507]

Alejandro please

[@Tez.92]

❤️

[@rafaelvieira3507]

Alejandro please
