Lady Gaga - Born This Way (Maxi-Single)

MY VERY FIRST ENGLISH SINGLE…
that I bought from HMV!!

I’m very surprised that HMV will actually bring in Lady Gaga’s new single “Born This Way” because from what I know, HMV stopped bringing in English singles. Probably because this song is so marvelous that even HMV cannot resist the temptation of using this maxi-single to earn more income.

I hope they bring in English singles more often though~ That way, I don’t have to buy whole albums just for a song or two…

Well~ Pictures!!

I almost bought this single online because I had doubts that I can find it in Singapore but NO!! I found it at HMV because I saw an article on the newspaper, saying that this single will be available locally on March 14. So, when the date arrived, I called HMV to check and YES!! They have it!! Made a reservation immediately for this $9.95 goodie~ Oh yes~ If you send your receipt to Universal Music by April 30, you stand a chance to win yourself a MONSTER Turbine Earphone! Cool~

The single with the plastic shrink wrap removed… Isn’t the cover gorgeous?! Unfortunately, this single is released in a slipcase packaging and that means minimal protection for the CD. But considering the price, I think it’s fair. Anyway, I love this song because it’s all about embracing who you really are, no matter where you came from, no matter what you are~ Very inspirational! That’s why I even give a heck for this single because normally, I don’t give a damn for English singles.

The single comes with 4 tracks. The first one being the original version of the amazing song “Born This Way” and the rest of the tracks are the remixes. Honestly, I think the remixes are not my cup of tea because they are just clubbing music with occasional singing. If one of the track is an acoustic version of the song, I think this single will stay on the chart even longer!!

I was expecting a piece of paper with the lyrics but no! They had creatively made use of the space on the left when you open up the cardboard slipcase and printed the lyrics on it…

…in BOLD WHITE! Ain’t this cool?! But it’s a little hard to read though but who cares!! Take some time to read the lyrics because they are the main reason why I bought this single…

“No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

BEAUTIFUL!!

The CD is a simple, black one with the title written in its own signature font on it. Straightforward. I like!

Overall, I love this single! Could be packaged a little better though but I ain’t going to complain because it costs a quarter of what I normally pay for a Japanese single. Less than 10 bucks for a magnificent song, who cares!!

*sigh* Due to the disasters at Japan
(JAPAN!! PLEASE BE STRONG AND RECOVER AND CONTINUE TO MAKE EXCELLENT MUSIC!!)
my ayumi hamasaki ayu-mi-x 8 box set will be delayed but that’s okay since they are utilizing the transportations for aid relief. As long as Japan continues to be strong, I can bear with the wait.

QUESTION: Should I get Britney Spears’ “Femme Fatale” Limited Edition?
