EDIT: Chola? Is she serious? That's so offensive...
Objective comments:
1.) This is the first single off a 20 track album. You can think it sucks, but 1/20th of an album can suck and it can still be the album of the decade. Wait till May 23rd. Though I agree hyping it as such so early is exceedingly overzealous, especially underscored by the fact that it's 2011. I mean, if she had made that claim at the beginning of 2019 perhaps it would have been more legit, but yeah.
2.) Is it similar to Express Yourself? Definitely? A carbon copy at any part? Not at all. If people compare it to Madonna's track they might as well cite self-plagarism as well, as Gaga has a lot of monotone chanting sections in Born This Way reminiscent of Dance in the Dark, which you could, of course, say is plagarism again off Madonna's Vogue. There's a fine line between "inspired by" and "plagarized," and I definitely agree Gaga comes closer to it than most, but I personally don't believe she crossed it with this track. Enough of it is very different.
3.) You're upset by the usage of "chola," yet "nigga" is used extensively in rap/hip-hop and no one gives a damn. Just saying.
