"Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer. I am a talented entertainer. I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do. I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Is she serious???...i mean i like her songs and all but c'mon, she needs a crash course in modesty. It's her opinion. Kiss it.

^ Did she really say that? Source? Her interview with Vogue. Honestly, if you read the interview it's pretty interesting. Also here is a bit more about the album... It is much more vocally up to par with what I’ve always been capable of. It’s more electronic, but I have married a very theatrical vocal to it. It’s like a giant musical-opus theater piece.

Actually I have no problem with that. She sounds confident in herself there, there's nor problem with that. Where I draw the line is her "my album will be the best of the decade of music I haven't even heard yet" crap, coupled with her attitude reflected at your average radio joes.

O. Then eww She sounds confident in herself there There's a difference between confidence and arrogance. If this was confidence she wouldn't need to state over and over how she's one of the best in what she does.

Yeah, I'm more bothered by her "best album of the decade" than what she said in Vogue. I'm interested to hear her vocals on this album now.

I see nothing wrong with the quote- it's her opinion about herself. She's confident and as long as she can back it up... Anyways, I'm even more excited for the LP.

Whats up with this. Just a second ago I was saying Gaga seems humble in the 60 minute snippet and now I read the Vogue interview...
You can be confident and modest all at the same time. That was just cocky, if that's even the right word for it.

I don't see what's wrong with her comment. She didn't say "I'm the best in my genre" but she said she's "one of the best"...and it's true...she IS one of the best vocalists in her genre right now. She's not being cocky, she's just confident in herself.

She's not being cocky, she's just confident in herself. Not in her genre, she said one of the greatest voices in the industry and one of the greatest songwriters. But the problem isn't how she put it, it's that she keeps saying things like that about herself. If you're confident about yourself, you don't need to shout it out every chance you get. You do that when your ego is too big.

A key difference between the way in which Gaga talks about herself and the way in which Christina talks about herself is Gaga is very confident and speaks highly or herself WITHOUT belittling others. Christina in her career has gone as far as name dropping other artists and talking trash. I realize a lot of people would like the "hehe oh stop!!" responses from Gaga to all the acclaim she gets but I love that she feeds off of the acclaim. I find forced modesty to be even more annoying than being overly confident. At least Gaga isn't being fake.

As someone who is not a core fan of hers, these are the types of comments that are off putting and push me away. It's very arrogant. There is nothing wrong that she thinks that stuff about herself and has confidence it's another matter to put it out there in public.
In the end, while she's talented when public support sways and radio stops supporting her the bottom will fall out.

Hah...Christina was speaking the truth when she talked up her talent and she called out other artists that lip synched back during the Stripped era. I don't have a problem with Gaga's comments but I'll def expect nothing but greatness tomorrow so she better back her shit up.

It was always going to be available at that time but the official premiere is at a different time. Also which radio DJ will be at their station at that hour to play the song?

If it is available to the DJ's at 1 AM then I am betting SOMEONE will play it. This is one of the most anticipated singles in a long long time. If that station has sole rights to premiere it then they shouldn't send it out to everyone until after that station plays it first, otherwise what is stopping them?

Isn't it a bad decision to release the song tomorrow on iTunes? I mean that wouldn't give her enough sales for a high debut on next week's charts, no?
