    I don't quite understand this__this song sucks. Has mediocrity become that powerful? I guess I better get used to it.



  2. 2

    Mario she stole this song from Carl Bean and the beats from Madonna Express yourself everybody look up Carl Bean Born this way! GA GA is A THIEF!



  3. 3

    Ok i'm not a big fan of her! but i have to admit the girl has some talent!
    She's the complete package, she writes, sings, dance, produce, performs, etc, etc the list goes on and on!



  4. 4

    Btw.. i think it's pathetic how britney's and gaga's fans are fighting!

    Ok britney IS a legend! but her time has expired! This is Gaga's, Rihanna's and Katy's era… Not Britney's and Christina's anymore!

    So get over it! And stop hating on other artists!



  5. 5

    chew it up n choke on that haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    but it is a bit rubbish though isnt it. and i really like The Fame but this ones just was too fairy pop, sounds like it should be on the dirty dancing sound track or something!



  9. 9

    Too bad its agreed upon to be her WORST song! Quality over Quantity!



  10. 10

    I got my free off YouTube. Who the hell PAYS for music nowadays???



  11. 11

    I guess people love the remake of Madonna's 'Express Yourself'. I like Gaga but don't know if I like to buy that one yet !



  12. 12

    Sorry but this song sucks. How can this be who she is when she has completely changed her look and music?? That's not being natural. That's trying to stay relevant. This song is a rip off and sounds like it belongs in the 90's.



  13. 13

    LET'S SUPPORT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! AND KEEP BUYING MUSIC PEOPLE! DONT STEAL!

    Mariah Still Queen of Pop Debuts
    ________________________________________________________________
    Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" rockets to a record-setting debut on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart. The first single and title track from the star's third studio album storms Pop Songs at No. 14 with 4,602 plays, according to Nielsen BDS.

    By launching at No. 14, "Born" logs the second-highest start in the Pop Songs list's archives. Only Mariah Carey's "Dreamlover" began at a higher rank, having soared in at No. 12 the week of Aug. 14, 1993. Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" and Madonna's "Frozen" follow with No. 16 arrivals.

    It's amazing how the flock-of-sheep mentality will make people buy something that is a blatant rip-off of a better song. Society today may have great technology, but it's lost its appreciation for true talent.



  16. 16

    im sure mario bought a few million tracks so he has something to write about



  17. 17

    Re: Eric92 – Britney is the modern day Madonna fool. It will ALWAYS be her era. Britney has broken more records than Christina, Gaga, Rihanna or Katy. She has sold more records and singles world wide. If Gaga's single had leaked like Britney's did, it wouldn't have sold the way it did.



  18. 18

    not a bad song but one million in 5 days, that's crazy



  19. 19

    It took me a couple days to realize what this song reminded me of then I just recently thought of it, it is a complete rip off of "Express Yourself" by Madonna, as others mentioned too. She is the modern day Madonna



  20. 20

    These records for track downloads will break every other year. Its cheaper for people to buy a individaul track for $1.09, than an album at $13.99. Its the new thing in music. In the next few years, the industry will have alot more songs with 5 million downloads in the US. Its the same for vevo, other artists will soon have a billion views on their videos. GaGa is just the first artist of the digital age.



  21. 21

    If i was going to get a gaga song id just steal it!!! Who buys music anymore?????



  22. 22

    who cares

    iTunes is nothing in most countries



  23. 23

    Re: Eric92 – A true caca fan a HYPOCRITE i thought caca was about love and respect!!! Caca will never be as great as xtina or britney or madonna!!!! Lets not forget your caca was manufactured that way….. She does not produce her own music she also co-writes most of her music she does nothing by herself!!! She did not produce manufactured this way by herself she took madonnas two songs vogue and express yourself and blended them together and said it was original. Only her DELUSIONAL fans think she is original!!!!



  24. 24

    Mario i love your site….but CLIMB OUT OF GAGA'S ARSE!!!!!! its becoming ridiculous dude!!!!



  25. 25

    Radio GaGa



  26. 26

    Ummm…I REALLY disliked this song at first and like 70% of other people posting on here, I thought she was hacking from Madonna…WHO IS THE TRUE QUEEN - ya that's right Gaga-ites I said it. However, after having it bombarding me everywhere I go, as well as the cute little girl who kills it on the piano…I'm beginning to slowly soften up to it.



  27. 27

    Bullshit.



  28. 28

    Stolen or not, this song still sells and sets records.
    I for one can't hear that BTW and EY is that much a like. Some of the beats are the same buts that all. That happens all the time. If they where so alike she would have been sued already.
    I love this song, best one I've heard in a while and it will continue on selling.
    Congrats GaGa. You are amazing.

    Boring song. Oversold. We get that you love the gays. Theres nothing wrong with it. you know you can make bank on it and its annoying.



  35. 35

    Re: hangook – LOL and Gaga has broken every record that Britney has established. Your point?



  36. 36

    THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE SHEEPLE WHO ARE BUYING IT HAVE NO CLUE OF MUSIC HISTORY OTHER THAN IF IT HAS A GOOD BEAT YOU CAN DANCE AND BE TEENAGE SLUT OR A SISSY BOY TO IT.



  37. 37

    Other than the fact that they're friends, the reason why Madonna didn't sue Gaga for blatantly ripping off Express Yourself is because Madonna herself borrowed from a lot of other artists like the Staple Singers and Debbie Harry. No one likes bad karma. What comes around goes around. Madonna learned that in her Kaballah. We've come to a point in the history of music where the songs being ripped off are themselves ripoffs.



  38. 38

    I think she can sell this much thanks to the digital era. People dont have to be ashamed anymore for having such a trashy taste and wont have to face a guy looking at him weirdo while buying a CD of a craptastic person like Lady Gaga, now they can hide behind their pcs and consume all the trash they ever wanted!. lol
    Cause honestly, there have to be tons of many people who are ignorant to music!… who would buy a track that its completely ripped off from a song that it even was a SUCCESS… I mean, not like she tried to steal a very OLD forgotten tune… maybe thats the trick?. Steal succesful tunes in order to sell to those teens that dont know it?. Otherwise I cannot think how this can sell.



  39. 39

    Also… wasnt this crap supposed to CHANGE THE WORLD!???????????????. lol So far, all its done is make the radio stations make fun of her. Yesterday they passed the song and the guys were LAUGHING on top of the song saying "Its Madonna Express Yourself… UHM WELL….. " and that was a proffesional radio here in Europe!.



  40. 40

    SHUT THE FUCK UP. I AM SICK OF YOU PROMOTING THIS UGLY TRASH (MUSIC AND PERSON)



  41. 41

    Re: Eric92 – I agree on your Gaga comment (don't agree Britney's time has expired). I'm not the biggest fan of Gaga either. But I have to admit she is a very talented woman. As for this song, I'm surprised it's doing so well. I don't think it's one of her best. Good for her anyway.



  42. 42

    Re: Abdiel Sanchez Gaud – Wrong you better look up the records britney has broken!!! Did caca sell more than 40 million albums in 2 years i think not is gaga the 6th biggest selling female artist of all-time i think not!! Lady QUEEN OF THE TRANNYS has a long way before she can even be compared to britney and the records she has broke!!!



  43. 43

    YAAAWN!!!! ITUNES DOWNLOAD IS ABOUT AS IMPORTANT AS WHO HAS THE MOST ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS, SMH. HITTING THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON TAKES AS MUCH AS WORK AS DISCREDITING PEREZ'S DAILY CUT & PASTE POSTS!! NOT LIKE BACK IN THE DAY WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND GO BUY THE SINGLE OFF THE RACKS. NOW WHICH TAKES MORE CONVINCING?? EXACTLY… FOR EVERY 10 DOWNLOADS IS EQUAL TO 1 SINGLE PHYSICAL PURCHASE LIKE BACK IN THE DAY. GREAT, NICE TO KNOW LADY CACA HAS REALLY ONLY SOLD 40K COPIES. YAAAWNER!!!!!

    Re: THE ONLY SOURCE

    I thought I was hearing Express Yourself beats in the song!

    Come on Gaga, stop trying to be Madonna would ya! You will never even come close!



  45. 45

    You mean Express Yourself is again Number One???This is such a rip off is incredible that noboby is saying this. Perez I know you love Gaga most people do, but common you have to call it for what it is a rip off and a bad one too



  46. 46

    Woaah Itunes record? Perez it means nothing. Itunes didn't even exist back in Madonna's and Britney Spears era. Fuck you and Lady gaga seriously I'm sick of you reporting about her every single motherfucking day. I used yo love reading your articles but now Ughh you should call your website >>imaretardedfanofladygaga. c o m

    Re: xcalibur
    Faulty logic. That's like saying buying an outfit online is less convincing than going to the store and buying it. It's the same fucking thing.



  50. 50

    Re: M:
    Madonna sold 50 million of one single? Really? Yesterday you were saying it was 30 million. The biggest selling single ever is "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley & The Comets, and that only sold 25 million. Stop making up bullshit just to suit your agenda.

    If you look at some of the top selling artists and/or songs of all times, they're some of the cheesiest artists and/or songs. "Facing a guy looking at him all weird" is not a huge or important factor in the way people buy music.



  52. 52

    Re: robert26101
    A Britney fan criticizing GaGa for being manufactured? Britney had a breakdown because she couldn't handle the way she was being manufactured. Sorry, Britney and original do not go hand & hand. She's just the Annette Funicello, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, etc. of this generation who was lucky enough to sell past her prime date.



  53. 53

    whatever. Payola is what got this song 2000 spins in one day. Brainwashing people with over playing does not equate to good music. All such calcualted moves by the label, radio, and Gaga herself. All these contrived antics will turn people off at some point…..oh wait…it already has…



  54. 54

    Re: Chasenip
    Well, that is why the music industry is what it is today. People like you don't buy music, but then complain about the ones that do that make songs such as "Born This Way" huge hits.

    Re: DanielDax – Please your an idiot britney had a breakdown because of the shit she had to go through with people stabbing her in the back and taking advantage of her!!!! I dont see britney dressing like a clown for attention when britneys not promoting she looks like a normal person not no DRAG QUEEN!!! Lady caca had to change everything about herself just to be famous she had to change her name start dressing like a used condom and steal others work! If anyony is maufatured it is lady caca QUEEN OF THE TRANNY look alikes!!!

  60. 60

    congratulations to madonna on her song



  61. 61

    Re: robert26101 – I know you obviously have a hard on for Britney, but she is indeed manufactured. She was just a teenage girl who was pimped out by her record label. She can't really sing, but the fact that she was almost always scantily clad in her videos and performances is what got people tuned in to her. Sex sells, it always has. She certainly doesn't write her own music, and she doesn't even usually sing live. I'm not denying her staying power, but she really doesn't have much talent to stand on. Pop music really isn't about talent, it's more about the show and about how many people you can hook on your bubble gum lyrics. Just about anyone can become a popstar. I am no fan of hers, but she did have a certain charisma in the beginning of her career and that's what shone through all the crappy music and ludicrous costumes that she wore. I think that she has lost some of that charisma, but she's got enough fans out there to keep her on top.



  62. 62

    You mean Madonna's Express Yourself. Madge should be getttin some cash for this shit



  63. 63

    She riped off the song from madonna and she riped kylie's art cover shes a thief. enjoy it while it last shes going to kill herself with drugs soon.



  64. 64

    Mediocre song is doing well because of her name. That is all. Sorry to disappoint.



  65. 65

    So what! if she sells doesn't mean she is good, a lot of shitty and crappy singers sell well those days, they are products, Madonna sold more than Led Zeppelin, Pink floyd, Rolling stones and Queen and more big names!!! does that make her better? hell NO!



  66. 66

    Am I the only person out of the 23 countries that doesn't own this song?..I did however buy Adele's 'Someone Like You' performance live from the brit awards, which is currently #1 on itunes in the UK



  67. 67

    Re: M: – WOW, you really are delusional. She can sell anything she does because all she does is good. She is amazing. What records? Are you blind? Sure, Madonna sold more singles, even with no iTunes, but back then you could download anything either. If you put in all the illegal downloads of GaGa songs there will be a much higher number. Not saying higher than Madonna but it will be very high. I downloaded BTW, I never buy anything from the net, not matter who it is, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love her.
    GaGa doesn’t sucks. She has sold out almost all of her tours. Madonna is bigger so of course she has sold out more of her tours. But Lady GaGa is getting there. When she has been in the business as long as Madonna has she will be just as big. Because lets face, she is here to stay. You may hate her but that doesn’t mean she isn’t good or talented. She is very talented and very good and writes amazing songs.



  68. 68

    Re: M: – Lady GaGa has had 2 tours, only 1 got big because then she was more famous. You can’t compare those two because GaGa hasn’t been along for that long, like you said, she is new.
    GaGa fans are kids? Well, at least we can love more than one artist. From what I have seen on this site as well as more sites, the only negative comment comes mostly from Madonna fans, Britney fans and Christina fans. Doesn’t seem like they can love anyone but one female artist, but many GaGa fans can. So very, we are like kids because kids can love/like many people, they don’t look for the bad.
    Like I said, M has been along for a VERY long time so of course she has the most records, it’s simply math in that.
    What does it even say at the end? Please try to spell and you who are such a Madonna fan should know that her name doesn’t contain an X. Her name isn’t Maxdonna.
    Please, stop obsessing about GaGa; you only contribute to her fame. So don’t like her, then stop because wins if are continue on like this. Perez also earns money with your comments.
    Haters are just gonna hate.

    Re: robert26101
    "Please your an idiot britney had a breakdown because of the shit she had to go through with people stabbing her in the back and taking advantage of her!!!!"
    Right, by the people who were handling her, in other words, her manufacturers.
    *
    "I dont see britney dressing like a clown for attention when britneys not promoting she looks like a normal person not no DRAG QUEEN!!!"
    But when she's performing, she is in drag in a sense: makeup, wigs and hair extensions, costumes, etc. You'll never see Britney performing in jeans and bare feet without makeup. Everyone who is in the pop music world is manufactured and/or marketed. Britney is not an exception.
    You don't need to flip a lid everytime someone says something slightly negative of Britney. You're becoming the Britney equivalent of that crazy Madonna stalker M: – guy.



  70. 70

    most of you are assholes. that is all.



  71. 71

    madonna wannabe. this sounds just like 'express yourself'. if gaga didnt affiliate herself with gays and wear weird costumes she'd be a nobody.



  72. 72

    Re: M:
    You're such an idiot. You're so busy trying to discredit someone's success, you can't even think straight. So ITunes is new, therefore Lady GaGa's success means nothing. Well, shit, Sherlock, I don't see anyone saying Madonna's initial success meant nothing because MTV was new back then. GaGa can't sell more than MJ or Madonna because noone can–those days are over–but it's not like she's not selling. Denial isn't one of your strongest suits, bb.



  73. 73

    Yes we beat britney and her terribl fans



  74. 74

    But.. but.. It's such a boring song ._.



  75. 75

    WHOOHH!!!! GO GAGA!!!!! haha and Britney's song barely hit 800,000 downloads. lol

    According to Rolling Stone, Madonna "remains one of the greatest pop acts of all time".[19] She has achieved multiple Guinness World Records, including world's top-selling female recording artist and the most successful female recording artist of all time.[149] On March 10, 2008, Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility.[170] Billboard magazine ranked her as the most successful solo artist (second overall, behind only The Beatles) on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists".[248] She has also scored many hits on major international charts, including 13 number-one singles in the United Kingom, 11 in Australia, and 23 in Canada—more than any other female artist.

    sorry song sucks to me. she cowrites just about every song..her dancing sub-par if anything.. and as far as looks she sure the hell isnt even close to being goodlooking let alone beautiful,,shes so not sexy..so as far as being credited with being this creative monster na think not.. she trys to hard to get attention in a tacky way..this wont last long,,it will burn out as far as her contributions purley motivated for fame not for actually changing anything..her dont ask dont tell nonsense was a joke…so watching the music biz for #) years she will crash and burn or she will grow old to the ever changing culture in america and the world



  79. 79

    Okay. I'm not on either side of the Madonna/Gaga fight here, but on Lady GaGa's Defense, people really aren't actually even buying their singles today on iTunes and they're probs just buying them for free online, so most likely, the 5 Million is like a tenth of what it actually is.

    You could substitute Madonna's name in that paragraph, and it would be just as applicable.

    Goes to show you how well gorilla marketing can work. The song is upbeat and has a good beat and message, but is strictly formulaic pop with a disco/digital bent. Musically it's nothing special. It also underlines the dearth or lack of good tunes out there that can compete. Nice for her to get a number one, nonetheless.
