"It's beautiful. Like a golden spaceship touching down on a rainbow runway in a field of fresh mint." Ch........ I can't wait to hear BTW though. Preach. This song is so over hyped that i think it might fall in the shadows of everyone's expectations. I do agree they have been going a bit overboard with hyping it up. But what are they supposed to do otherwise? I mean, it can backfire to say that this is her best record ever or the decade's best record before anyone else has had a chance to hear it/buy it, etc. A more humble approach for hyping it may have been more appropriate.

When has GaGa done anything that was appropriate? I'm loving all of this hype. Just keep it coming.

Lady Gaga has moved up the release of her new single βBorn This Way.β Originally set to premiere on Sunday, the highly-anticipated track will now debut on Friday, February 11th. Gaga, who co-produced βBorn This Wayβ along with Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow, will perform the song at the 53rd Grammy Awards.

Christina would beg to differ. True but she got a lot of hate when she was on top especially because she was making rude comments about other pop stars. I don't think she's quite irrelevant enough now for people to be completely satisfied. She did have a top 10 album and a movie that did alright in the past several months. I think the bigger a pop star is the more hate they attract (relatively). I think for some less mature people they really do get threatened when they are a huge fan of an artist who is in competition with another artist who is hugely successful. Lately its been this war between Gaga and Britney fans all over the internet down to things as stupid as who can have a longer lasting trending topic on Twitter. It's no coincidence that they are the two biggest pop stars in the world right now.

It's particularly ridiculous because neither has made a single negative comment about the other; it's just fans feeling threatened.

Well the bigger a popstar the more hate they attract? Yes. But they attract more attention in general by definition, so it's only logical. I think what people are saying is that Gaga is on the verge of getting more than the regular amount of "hate" that gets thrown at people on top.
Example: Beyonce is on top, and she doesn't tallk about her albums like they are the best of the decade. Sure, she says some comments that reveal she is slightly full of herself, but it looks like she has a better management team which either 1) helps reel in such comments, or 2) realizes that the comments can start to make her sound like a cocky b!tch and does some better damage control (or at least doesn't make it worse by allowing producers to describe her project as a gay minty-fresh spaceship or whatever the fuck he called it).
I'm all about people being proud of their work, and trying to get people excited about it. What I find to be distasteful and off-putting is what Gaga and her team are doing now, which is acting like this CD is God's gift to mankind--it's just a little to much.

That's why I said relative to the amount of success she gets. Also BeyoncΓ© attracts a huge amount of hate too, especially when she had her I Am Sasha Fierce album out at the same time as Circus.

It's particularly ridiculous because neither has made a single negative comment about the other; it's just fans feeling threatened. It was Christina who made the catty comment about Gaga so it's not like this is being made up. It has been well-documented. In an interview with the LA Times, Christina addresses the internet accusations that she has ripped off Lady Gaga's look wholesale.
"You know, thatβs funny that you mention that," she said.
"This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. Iβm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I donβt know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasnβt sure.
"I really donβt spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect." This subject has been addressed every which way during the years so I will just stop here.

I was talking about two different things. I was talking about Christina making catty comments about Britney and Beyonce back in 2003, and then I was talking about the internet fan wars between Britney and Gaga fans in the past year or so.

I get the feeling (sometimes) when GaGa says something that is pretty ego-driven, it might come from the people around her.
Only because it's like, you see her as confident but not cocky one moment and the next she's basicly repeating what her team is saying. Of course, it could be the other way around, but still.
Can't wait til Friday for BTW!!

I like Gaga but the cockyness/overhyping herself is one of the worst things about her. She has that Christina-syndrome which is a major turn-off...I remember seeing this interview she had with this asian interviewer and I really couldn't believe how she was acting.

The difference being that I've never heard Gaga say one negative word about another artist, or even a story of her being rude to people... which certainly can not be said of Christina.

Sir Elton: 'Gaga will have long career'Sir Elton John envisions Lady Gaga enjoying a long reign as the Queen of Pop - because she is so "amazingly polite and respectful" to her entourage and fans. The Rocket Man first teamed up with the pop star for a performance at the Grammy Awards last year and they recently recorded a duet for his latest movie project, Gnomeo & Juliet. The oddball stars have since become close friends, and Sir Elton is convinced the Poker Face hitmaker will rule the charts for years to come - because the superstar is so grounded. He says, "I love her, she's absolutely amazing. We've become friends. What I like about the Gaga most is that she's amazingly polite and respectful to everyone around her. "What I loved most about John Lennon is that he was like that. He once gave my mum a lift to the airport and came to my agent's wedding. "The Gaga is like that. But the greatest thing about her is that she manages to let everyone think they know everything about her but no one knows anything. "She's a phenomenal star - definitely someone who will be taking on the old sods like me, McCartney and Rod Stewart doing big tours for years to come. Pure genius."

I can't believe the single comes this week! I am not a huge Gaga fan but she certainly puts out catchy music so I am very curious to hear her next work. I think her label needs big props for not having this leak...so far!

There is an arrogance, superiority complex there that is sure to turn off even the most casual people, and it's completely natural and understandable. Christina, Kanye, and Justin all have that kind of arrogance associated with them, and they all have received a certain kind of backlash over it, which is completely understandable. That being said Gaga is different in the aspect that she seems to love those who love her, and at least seems to make an effort to reciprocate to her audience in even the mildest ways. Where as the others seem so stuck up on their own personal greatness and can't come down to say "hi" every once and awhile.

^ When has Justin ever received any kind of backlash over his attitude? He's definitely cocky, but not so much that he comes off as a douche. Kanye, on the other hand...
Anyway, I'm really excited for this! I'm not the biggest GaGa fan, but she hasn't disappointed me yet in regard to her music.

The whole nipplegate scandal and the resulting backlash when he "threw Janet under the bus" and I disagree on the bolded front. There are certainly times when he comes off that way, he can seem very smarmy at times especially in interviews and red carpet events, The Emmy's come to mind instantly.

The whole nipplegate scandal and the resulting backlash when he "threw Janet under the bus" Hmmm...I don't remember there being much of a backlash in regard to Justin, only Janet. People jumped all over her, while he walked away from the incident relatively unscathed. I disagree on the bolded front. There are certainly times when he comes off that way, he can seem very smarmy at times especially in interviews and red carpet events, The Emmy's come to mind instantly. Eh, he doesn't bother me at all.
