My favourite line so far : Don't be a drag, just be a queen, whether you're broke or evergreen. That is the worst part of the lyrics.

I think most people regard that line as a joke for some reason.

I think most people regard that line as a joke for some reason. That's because they take Gaga as a joke also...

Well I thought Joel was a fan of her? And he seems to be one of the people opposing that lyric (and the lyrics in general) the most.

But you haven't even heard the song yet. The thread on pulse has to be locked due to all of the haters bashing the song because of tjhe lyrics. It was 5 pages of GaGa bashing .

\ And please, besides the clever use of "Hold It Against Me" which isn't even that clever, the lyrics to that song are nothing to be excited with either. Yeah, but Britney didn't hype her song to be the anthem of freedom, either. Elton John (who seems to have turned into quite a little monster himself) has praised the song, calling it the next "I WIll Survive" in terms of gay novelty songs.

I don't know if the tides have changed in mainstream music in terms of what is accepted, lyrically. But if a song as lyrically blatent as "Let's Talk About Sex" can be a mediocre hit ( ), so can this. It just needs to be catchy. Another thing I thought is that she may release this, and it may flop (peaking at #14 on CHR, then fall rapidly)...but, she may have other singles in store that can cover for the first single flop. Take Christina's "Stripped". Even though Dirrty is considered a cult classic nowadays, the time it was released, the single didn't perform so hot. Many people believed it was bc Chrstina was being TOO blatant with her "dirtyness" and people got turned off. So what did she do? She took a few steps back and released Beautful, which became one of her biggest hits yet, followed by 3 very sucessful singles and a sucessful era, in whole. So, this may be Gaga's biggest era, in terms of single success and longevity...don't judge it on the first single. Let her get this song out of her system and we can move on lol...

Great point there, Derek. That scenario is a definite possibility and I won't be surprised if it happens. But still, maybe I'm just being a punk but people need to lighten up.

I'm not saying they're not, I just mean that songs are more than lyrics alone.

Some people on other forums are pretty cynical about this and want it to fail (before even hearing it). I can understand if you don't like the lyrics but wishing for a song to fail (that you hadn't listened to) is just ignorant. They aren't my favourite lyrics by her; however, I appreciate the variety and that she didn't just hide behind a hitmaker but instead coproduced with an unknown DJ and Fernandy Garibay (a relatively lowkey producer).

So people are more offended by "don't be a drag, be a queen" than "shush girl, shut your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips"?
What's this world coming to?
