I am with Dan on this one. I have listened to it 3 times now and can't get into it. It certainly doesn't have the pull factor for me that Pokerface & Just Dance had.Don't get me wrong, I love her music, this just doesn't do it for me... yet.

I always find her songs tend to grow on you. I hated Pokerface, Bad Romance and Telephone when I first heard them..

I heard Paparazzi and I didn't like it that much and didn't like the techno aspect; now I love techno-elements in pop songs. It took me 4 times to like the Bad Romance demo and then I loved the album version with the cool intro and the rest was history.The first time I listened to this song, I thought WTF? and the next couple of times I really like it. I don't think it is as catchy as some of her other songs but this is a radio-friendly and Madonna-influenced (Expess Yourself) song. Elton John described it as being the Gayest song he's ever heard and I think he's on point.From http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/lady-gaga-our-lady-of-pop

'The second single to be released is called “Judas” and is, typically, a mash-up: The melody sounds like it was written for the Ronettes, but it is set to a sledgehammering dance beat and is about falling in love with backstabbing men of the biblical variety. '

'Another song, “Americano,” which she describes as like “a big mariachi techno-house record, where I am singing about immigration law and gay marriage and all sorts of things that have to do with disenfranchised communities in America,” has a resounding Piafesque chorus.'

'Stephen Hill who is the VP of Music Programming at BET revealed the news on Twitter. He tweeted that he had heard six “crazy” tracks and that the songs had an “aural energy that had my speakers gasping for water afterwards”. He then went on to reveal that one of the songs was called “Edge Of Glory”.'

I slightly get the feeling that she is over-working the whole 'being different' card now. It came naturally and worked well before, but I think she saw it's success and really started to over-use it. From the plain ridiculous 8 minute 'gay orgy' (as I heard it described once) video for Alejandro, to DADT, and now immigration laws? At the end of the day, she is still only a pop star. Gives the impression that she's getting slightly above her station now.As for the song, it's okay. It's a bit like Th13teen so far as it's fine for what it is, but was way over-hyped. Hopefully it'll be a grower, I must say Scheiße was a bit of a disappointment for me and is yet to grow...Don't get me wrong, I still love her and when she's back in London I'll still go, but I think this could perhaps be seen as a bit of a bump in the road.

Couldnt agree more! First time Gaga came out I hated her with a passion and all of a sudden I cant stop listening to her! This song I listened once and thought I like it, 5 or so times later I LOVE it.

And...they're back. Radiohead have just announced their eighth full-length record' date=' The King of Limbs. Billed as the world's first "Newspaper Album," an extravagantly packaged version of the record will be issued on May 9; however, the music itself will effectively be issued on Saturday, February 19 when digital downloads become available to those who made pre-orders.So Radiohead have set aside the "pay what you want" patronage model that dominated the conversation surrounding the In Rainbows release, yet have retained that album's more important business aspects: Packaging their music as a high-end collectable and controlling and monetizing its leak, which has the effect of creating what these days is a rare, worldwide, collective listening experience. Once again, we all know exactly when we're first able to hear a new Radiohead record and therefore will largely all experience it together, something almost completely lost in today's pop music landscape. This in effect is also what Kanye West did so successfully with his G.O.O.D. Friday project.The King of Limbs will be released by TBD Records in North America, XL in the UK, and Hostess Entertainment in Asia.Full information is quoted below, and pre-orders are currently being accepted at Thekingoflimbs.com.
