Okay, after a few listens, I'm still unsure. At this point, though, Born This Way is better. :'(

I am not too worried about negative reactions to the song yet. I honestly cannot think of a Gaga single that didn't originally get negative reactions-like, maybe Poker Face. There is something very polarizing about her. Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro, and Born This Way all had people trooping out to declare them horrible, generic, remakes of other songs, uninspired, disappointing, and how they would be massive flops. THey were all huge worldwide hits though that sold tons of digital singles and albums. I just don't think anything Gaga releases will really ever get a fully positive reaction unlike other pop stars even though the quality of her music isn't any worse than any other person out there releasing dance pop music.
We will see how it sells and how well it grows since her singles also tend to be growers. Like, I see a lot more positive comments about her previous singles now as opposed to when they first came out (except for BTW).

^^^When Poker face (+video) came out (before Just Dance/Poker Face charted in the US) I remember I was watching it on youtube and it had 2 million views, but 3 stars with 3/4 of the comments being hate comments "omg what a bad hook "p-p-p-p poker face"LMFAO" "wow is this what music has come to? this better not hit top40" "J-j-j-j-just danc- wait wrong song..." etc
All her songs have negative initial reactions.

I honestly don't remember that far back, but I wouldn't doubt it. I wonder if her music is just more difficult to get into at first and THEN the hooks start clicking? Some of her songs have went on to be genuinely beloved pop classics so it is strange to me that the initial reactions are always OMG GENERIC CRAP GONNA FLOP SHE SUCKS!!!!
I have to drive a town or two over for a party tonight and this is totally going to be blasting on the way there. I hope I end up liking it better than Born This Way!

I haven't really gotten into the meaning of the song. More concerned about the sound right now.

She just keeps educating the mainstream, introducing them to new sounds. Initial negativity can be expected. But soon everyone will be jamming to this.

it would be really crazy if this ended up being #1 next week and blocking Rihanna (and Katy). We should've known it'd leak early! We'll be prepared next time, for sure.

To be honest, I have only read the last two pages or so of this post where it is full of dramatic she is over and I have no interest in the album anymore statements lol. I just got out of work so I haven't really been seeing a lot of the reactions. I hope most of them are positive :)

oh.. my. The production is too big for her voice in this. I find myself somewhat struggling to understand her at times. That and then the chorus feels a bit under-produced to me? From what I was reading I expected this to be somewhat triba and messy. Very disappointed, but the breakdown is exciting. My favorite parts are her maniacal wailing. Wasn't sure what to expect from that "Judas Juda Gaga" bit but I'm pleasantly surprised. She just keeps educating the mainstream, introducing them to new sounds. oh.. my God.

the difference between this and her past singles is that the verses are bigger/stronger than the actual chorus, which makes the song sound kinda weak in comparison to bad romance and her other classics. i love it, i just bought it on itunes but it's no bad romance. i love the ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhh part, it's so catchy.

This is truly the definition of trying too hard.
The verses are terrible, seriously awful. The lyrics are pathetic, she's slowly destroying the credibility she had as a songwriter as both this and Born This Way have seriously embarrassing lyrics. But the chorus hook is pretty strong.
All in all, it seems GaGa is having trouble re-creating the magic of her first era.

I really love this upon full listen!! To me, it's the love child of "Poker Face", "Paparazzi", and "Bad Romance." When the production changes during the spoken part, it's just totally crazy. I love it.
