This is gonna be the anthem of a generation. This album, and this song, reflects the feeling and struggles of millions of people the world over. She is the voice of the feeling and emotions of this generation. Feeling like an outcast, like a freak, like an abnormality, all these feelings and restlessness of this generation. She is the voice of that.
People don't understand the real motives and emotion of Lady Gaga. She isn't just doing all these things to get attention or cause a spectacle. She isn't doing any of this to get publicity.
Her fans are outcasts and anyone who feels different or weird. And her style reflects that. Cause Gaga is one of them.
She was made fun of and teased in school. And thus, Gaga was born. She created the character of Lady Gaga to be a symbol of the rebellion that she stands for. A celebration of weird, of odd, of crazy clothes and expressing yourself in insanely addicting pop songs.
If you have ever heard Gaga in concert, you will see that she refers to her fans as 'Little Monsters'. The term is yet another means to emphasize the idea of embracing your oddities and flaws and what makes you different.
'I'm beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way. Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and your set. Rejoice and love yourself today, cause baby you were born this way."
What a message of love. What an ideal to live by. What a motivation!
She is blazing a trail that few artists have. She is not catering to her record label, she doesn't care about sales, she doesn't care about recognition. She doesn't care about anything but supporting, celebrating, encouraging, and most importantly, loving her fans. It is all about her fans with whom she so strongly identifies with.
That is why Lady Gaga is my favorite artist.
And that is why this album is going to be the greatest album of the decade.
My goodness, this is the anthem of our time. It's seriously that good. It's gonna influence music in the future. It's that original.
The raw expression of exactly who Gaga is, as a person, as a human being. It's more than music. It's more than sales. It's more than even fame now. It's about making her statement. It's about helping change the world for the better.
The song, once and forever more, plants Gaga's flag into the ground saying loudly and proudly, "It doesn't matter who you are or what you are. Everything. It's all accepted. It's ok. There's nothing wrong with loving who you are, cause God made you perfect babe. Be proud of yourself, and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. Love yourself. You're beautiful in your own way. Cause God makes no mistakes. You're on the right track baby. You were born this way."
That is what this song and this album represents.
That is why this will be the best album of the decade.
Just saying.
