First of all, sorry about the lack of posts, I was in Berlin and away from the world of internet.

Now to business.  Full disclosure, I’ve never been a huge fan of Lady Gaga’s.  I don’t buy into her crap and crazy outfits, but like the rest of the world I am curious to see how she follows up her debut.  “Born This Way”, the first single from the album of the same name was heard around the world for the first time today, and it has me confused.  For a long time people have made comparisons between Gaga and Madonna.  The crazy outfits, the rebellious attitude, the pop songs…one has to wonder if she is intentionally playing on the comparison with this song.  It is SO Madonna, I’m actually finding it hard to get my head around it.  You can listen to it here.

Now listen to this:

Are ya with me?

UPDATE:  Someone has very cleverly put the songs together in this handy youtube video.
