Oh well. A cover's a cover.

However, I have been watching all the Gagavision's recently to hear previews of the songs. Marry the Night sounds awesome. And I hope that the Mugler remix of Scheiße is included in the deluxe edition. That sounds ****ing awesome.

Apart from the 12 tracks confirmed:

Spoiler:

I would like there to be Glitter & Grease on there. And on the deluxe edition, for there to be Scheiße (Thierry Mugler Remix) and Born This Way (The Country Road Version)

^^Her videos are cool though. This cover's lame. I don't care what the meaning is. It's hideous.

MemorialAddress · #4 20th April 2011, 06:35 PM

Especially for someone who makes it a point for everyone to know how creative and original she is. A cover like that from her is simply unacceptable

**zoomzoom** · #5 20th April 2011, 06:40 PM

Exactly, of course it's about the music, but she's always been very much about the visuals and everything but the music. Then this.

She must have been on something when she approved it, I mean.. look at it!

It reminds me of that DuChamp (sp?) piece, with the urinal. And everyone thought it was genius or something. This cover is probably Gaga's urinal.

=\ I'm over the cover right now I just hope that the album tracks are at least on par to
The Fame/The Fame Monster because seriously so far I'm not impressed with what's been released

I'm still not a fan of BTW or Judas blegh

Weird Al has done a parody of Born This Way. Listen to it here.

It was supposed to be included in his upcoming album; but...well, here's basically what happened (in the words of my friend

)

"He sent her the concept to the song, she said she need to see lyrics, so he said ok, fair enough, sent them, then she said she needed to hear a finished product, so he recorded it - having to cut short a family vacation in the process - then says no anyway."

The full story is in a link in the youtube video discription, which leads to his official blog.

I'm disappointed as a Gaga fan.

Why would she say no if she already saw the lyrics anyways? Did she want him to go through all that just so she could say no and waste his time for offending her? Goddammit GaGa, you are really losing me with all this **** recently.

ストロボ・EdGE · #10 20th April 2011, 09:43 PM

I'm going to pretend that the BTW single's cover is the album cover.

I hope she doesn't keep the blasphemy thing going for too long. Kind of been rolling since Alejandro...

ストロボ・EdGE · #11 20th April 2011, 09:53 PM

^Hahahaha

Ooh my little monsters pay, lots cause I perform this way

That sucks that she didn't let him do it. I thought she'd take it more light hearted.

***koumori*** · #12 20th April 2011, 10:06 PM

^ Yeah, me too.

JackieRos · #13 20th April 2011, 10:14 PM

I love weird al haha

MemorialAddress · #14 20th April 2011, 10:32 PM

I think he's ridiculous and not even funny. I thought people grew out of that nonsense of his after age 15

I don't blame her for turning him down. I wouldn't want to be associated with him either.

It's not the fact she turned him down. It's the fact that she made him jump through all the hoops - whilst in the middle of his own tour - and then say "Oh, look at all that effort you made. Lol no anyway."

He said himself that she had the lyrics..and she knew it'd be sang to her music. So why did she need a finished, mastered version? It's ridiculous. I've lost respect for her.

Kogepan_19 · #16 21st April 2011, 02:31 AM

@ Koumori - Take a look at the video on YouTube again. There's new updates regarding the situation.

***koumori*** · #17 21st April 2011, 03:32 AM

^ Wow X_X Sneaky sneaky manager! But it makes me happy that Gaga didn't do this personally. I'm so relieved.

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #18 21st April 2011, 03:43 AM

This parody of Born This Way is...

NintendoHTF1242 · #19 21st April 2011, 03:46 AM

Well...Someone on last.fm brought up a good point that when Lady Gaga truly tries something weird for an album cover, we're disappointed. But when they're not weird, it's okay. So I guess I'm looking at the cover from a new perspective and now it's not THAT bad. It's still horrendous though.

bondingo · #20 21st April 2011, 03:50 AM

^But everything she's been doing so far has been weird, and we've liked almost all of it, although not universally (I personally hate the BTW video). The album cover isn't "truly weird"...well, it is, but it's because of how retardedly awful it is that people don't like it, not because it's unconventional.
