Edit: Now on iTunes.
The chorus is catchy and I'm glad it doesn't sound like Bad Romance.

Finally something good for pop radio in 2011.

It sounds like "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance," but less epic. Her material this era has been underwhelming, to say the least. She's definitely lost some momentum.

I like this but it sounds a lot like "Bad Romance" and it lacks a good hook.

Its great. If anything it has too many different hooks without one main one

The Juda aaah Juda ahh ah as is UNFORGIVABLE. The verses are weak. Another rap bridge, seriously?
The chorus is decent, but is very reminiscent of "Bad Romance"

I think she's really struggling to come up with good music now. And I don't think she can take being subpar. This will be an interesting era to watch.

#1 on iTunes. Not as fast as BTW, but still damn fast.

After two listens, I can honestly say that I dislike this. It's messy and irritating - but then again, I did originally make similar comments about "Bad Romance." I really just wish she'd cut the crap, stop trying to be an inventive artistic revolutionary with every record and just make good pop music - that strategy worked for The Fame singles and yielded far better material than this. Anyway, if anyone but Gaga released this CHR would overlook it, but since it's her...it'll be a hit.
On a related note, I don't understand the people who are implying that "Born This Way" underperformed. The song was a #1 hit and resonated with the public - everyone seemed to know the words and quoted it incessantly. It wasn't her best single ever, but it was on par with the rest of her catalog. I'm not so sure about this one, though.

The "Juda aaah Juda ahh ah" is completely inexcusable. I'm really not impressed with this - on first listen, I actually think this might be a step down from "Born This Way."

I may be in the minority, but I really like this.

It grows on you. I think we're used to easily relatable lyrics with instant melodic accompaniment (like with The Fame). I have a feeling the whole album is gonna be a big grower.

This is a lot better than "Born This Way" but it sounds too overproduced. It needs to lose a layer and then it may sound up there with her Fame classics.
Also does anyone else think her voice sounds kind of different?

Also does anyone else think her voice sounds kind of different? During the verses she does, but not throughout the whole song. This is just so catchy to me. So as far as her singles go: 1. Bad Romance 2. Poker Face 3. Telephone 4. Judas 5. Just Dance 6. Born This Way 7. Alejandro 8. Paparazzi 9. Love Game

My friend described this perfectly: "It sounds like this song has a disease."

It just sounds burnt. Like it stayed in the studio for too long when it would have been better if they called it a wrap earlier in its production.

Wow, she really has lost a bit of that spark. The unfortunate thing is no one will see this and she will still be as successful. The way she sings on this song is horrible and the production is too busy. As was said earlier, the Jud-aa-aahhh crap is awful. If she hadn't already had surgery on her nose, I would have fixed it by breaking that beak for her for this atrocity.
