I've never had the explicit The Fame Monster. Where can it be purchased? I've been meaning to just find it online. I do have the vinyl of TFM (of course) but I'm pretty sure that's censored too.
BTW (by the way), the first post has been edited with a few stats.

I just bought TFM on iTunes, the explicit, non-deluxe version. Not sure if it's different in Canada vs. US though.

I heard there was an explicit version available physically in Australia but it's rare. (Maybe Slizzy knows?) And yes, the vinyl is censored.

I still think BTW being censored is stupid, especially those beeps during "Government Hooker."

I actually don't mind the GH censoring. The beeps make it kinda comical.

That would be a great name for an EP situation similar to The Fame/The Fame Monster. Just sayin'. Thanks. Was just bored making covers, haha.

-- Lady Gaga: Could "Marry the Night" mark Mother Monster's first promoted radio single to miss the Hot 100's top 10? Currently, she's tied for the most career-opening top 10 promoted singles among women -- 11 -- with Mariah Carey (1990-94), but "Marry" continues to slide (33-37) after reaching a peak-to-date of No. 29 two weeks ago. Robust digital sales and holiday airplay make this week's data atypical, but the song slips 40-43 on Hot Digital Songs (although up 95% to 69,000 downloads). On Hot 100 Airplay, it rises 36-34 but with a 3% decrease to 31 million audience impressions. Even more worrisome: "Marry" is already retreating at Gaga's home format -- Mainstream Top 40 radio -- as it drops 14-15 on the chart, down 4%, in just its sixth week.

IGN's Top 25 Albums Of 2011From Foo Fighters to Ryan Adams to Thrice, we run down the best albums of the year. Lady GaGa: Born This Way Review Excellent vocals and strong dance grooves make for great second album. In a world of disposable songs from interchangeable starlets so drenched in auto-tune it is hard to distinguish one from the next, it is hard to find fault with Lady GaGa's aggressive approach to pop music. The fact that the woman that arrived in an oversized plastic egg to the Grammys and whose Kermit The Frog suit seems 'normal' at this point can still surprise you really speaks to the quality of the album. The thumping assault of beats, synth and bass aside, the most striking aspect of the album is how good the vocals are. GaGa proves to be a pop powerhouse, giving a hint of Caribbean flair to the verses of energetic "Judas", where she examines the allure of wanting what is bad for you, while the alternating coo and growl of midtempo "Bloody Mary" work leading to the velvety hook. Produced by GaGa and Mutt Lange, and featuring Queen's Brian May on guitar and a bit of "We Will Rock You" in the clapped beat, excellent piano rocker "You And I" is the most surprising treat, thanks to the passionate country swagger she drenches her vocals in. The song is good enough to wonder how great a whole album of old school piano rock, in the vein of classic Elton John or Billy Joel, could be. The defiant vocals and pounding groove of, catchy declaration of individuality, "Born This Way" makes up for the fact that it is essentially an updated retelling of Madonna's "Express Yourself", both musically and thematically. GaGa's dance floor siren approach makes soaring club anthem "Marry The Night" explode out of the speakers, armed with a steadily stomping beat and barbed clusters of electrified synth for one of the strongest of her career. The carefree, liberating vibe of jittery synth pop tune "Highway Unicorn (Road To Love)" delivers a towering anthemic hook that mirrors the album's theme of freedom and self-expression. Her attempts to capture teenage rebellion are the low point of the album, with beat-driven "Hair" finding a soulful saxophone oddly meandering in and out as she looks through the eyes of a teen forced to cut their hair the way their parents say before declaring, "I'm as free as my hair / I am my hair". It has a decent message, but the silly tune lacks the punch found elsewhere. She fares slightly better encouraging troubled youth on "Bad Kids", advising, "Don't be insecure if your heart is pure / You're still good to me if you're a bad kid, baby". GaGa squeezes some social commentary into the album without stopping the party, with the fuzzed out electro bits and thick bass line of grubby "Government Hooker" taking shots at politicians pandering to the masses, "I could be good, unless you wanna be bad / I could be sex, unless you wanna hold hands". She takes on same-sex marriage and immigration laws as Spanish guitar and fluttering strings drizzle through the backdrop of energetic bi-lingual winner "Americano". Her ability to fuse important messages into catchy pop tunes works well. From the barked German vocals and slamming techno beat of empowering "Sheisse", shaking off the expectations society put on women, to the guitar solo adding rock flair to her gorgeously weathered vocals on "Electric Chapel", GaGa delivers a diverse set of explosive pop. The slamming synth grind of sexed-up "Heavy Metal Lover" works great, as she grittily begs, "I want your whiskey mouth all over my blonde south / Red wine, cheap perfume and a filthy pout". Orchestral synth pop epic, ripe with strings and saxophone, "The Edge Of Glory" would feel awkward on almost any other album, as her powerhouse vocals seem to dim the music. Though the sappy tune feels as if it should accompany a cheesy eighties movie's closing credits, it is a fitting finale to this impressive pop treasure. uk.music.ign.com/articles/121/1215250p1.html

Her playing HML makes me hope for its release as the next single.

Yeah, those colors work really well on her these days, especially since she lost some of the weight that she had during The Fame days.
I hope she wears more lighter colors for her next album campaign, she's beaten the black to death during the past 2 years.

I really wonder where the imagination comes from with some of these outfits. They all looked good on her though!

A lot of people say she's not pretty, but she really is! When she dresses up like this, she looks so good!

Gaga is definitely pretty, she's just not what is considered to be conventionally pretty.

I hope the next single would be ScheiBe to do what Marry The Night won't do(to be a top 10 hit).

Maybe all this blonde hair is a transition to her new album in 2012 (since she said it was about the downfall of blondes... or whatever she said).

I realy hope & pray Gaga's label DOES NOT release another safe single. Her last 3 releases were safe & really did nothing for her. Gaga's gimmick is causing controversy & she hasn't done that this era (w/the exception of 'Judas').
'ScheiBe', 'Americano', or 'Heavy Metal Lover' should be the 6th & final single. I don't see "BTW" going 3x platinum (unless they re-release).
