Maybe she is finally admitting to the public she is in fact not just a "she"? (sarcasm)
Overall, I'm not a big fan of Gaga... The vocals throw me off. She's always very close to, but never on key... If she is on key, it doesn't fit the song itself. I could go into more details, but I can't listen to music at work...
I can respect her as an artist for being 110% willing to break the mold, and I appreciate that in a world of conformism, she will be the odd-man out (no pun/joke intended). Too many artists now-a-days conform to the "mainstream" sound of their genre, in order to sell records.
The lyrics genuinely seem like they were written by her, unlike Miley, who probably has a pop song writer, and she is merely the image, not the artist. Then again, we all know Miley is daddy's little retirement fund, considering she is one of 7? siblings, and the only one who's name the average person even knows.
Regardless, I'm a metalhead and I probably won't listen to the song. I avoid the radio. My opinion of Gaga remains on the fence. I appreciate her artistic approach, but I can't bring myself to appreciate the vocals... Paparazzi has wayyy too much falsetto for it's own good, and her songs flow in and out of the mainstream so quickly that I can't even recall offhand the names of her other songs.
