Lady Gaga stole my idea[edit]

Hello

My Name is Narin, I am artist living in Toronto. I have created a painting called," A new Journey to Technology year 3000." which was created in the year 2002. I have also painted alot of artworks based on that idea. People might be wondering where did Lady Gaga got her album cover from??," Bone this way from." Please when you get a chance take a good look at her,"Born this way", and my painting, "A new Journey To Technology year 3000". I have posted my art work on REBBUBBLE.COM in the year 2008. Search for NarForver or art title. When my sister first showed me Lady gaga's Album cover few days ago, I was shocked because at that moment I saw my own creative art work. Seriously, who deserves the credit?!!

I was so shocked, I had to do something about it, I created a profile on facebook and youtube.You can go to youtube(nareen4peace) or facebook,and search for.." Lady Gaga stole my idea'

Thank you for your time

New Single - release in May 11, ANIMAL[edit]

I found a german article about lady gaga's new Single - called "Animal" - which will be released in May 11. It'd be wonderful, if someone could take the Single "Animal" in this article.

I found it on: http://www.starflash.de/artikel/lady-gaga-animal-180970.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xxsmartlxx (talkcontribs) 15:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The track, Animal, isn't even by lady gaga? Confirmed by her Label, here 88.104.168.157 (talk) 20:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, not by Gaga. Novice7 | [[User

The second single from the album has been comfirmed by Gaga herself that it will be "Judas". As Legolas already stated, "Animal" is not a Lady Gaga song. Squidoh (talk) 21:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop the Italian Wikipedia![edit]

Hello

I'm an italian boy and I would like to say to all those who make part of Wikipedia to stop those who control the Italian Wikipedia, especially in the music domain. Because we can't post informations of (for instance)an album of Lady Gaga (but also for all the rest of artist or actors) until the publication of this one arrives. So why all other wikipedia can post it? We can't stand it anymore, please do something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.46.112.220 (talk) 18:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has to do with spamming, for instance, only auto-confirmed users could edit Lady Gaga's wikipage in the Finnish version of Wikipedia. Squidoh (talk) 21:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New songs confirmed in Vogue[edit]

http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/lady-gaga-our-lady-of-pop/

"Hair", "Bad Kids", "Government Hooker", "Judas", and "Americano". There will be a total of seventeen tracks. 99.100.211.13 (talk) 06:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.100.211.13 (talk) 06:44, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 17 confirmed recorded songs for the Deluxe Album, not 20 like some people are saying. There will be a total of 22 songs on the Deluxe Album, including 3 bonus tracks, and 5 remixes. Only 14 songs are going to be released on the standard edition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samlikeswiki (talkcontribs) 06:13, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Judas[edit]

i thought you guys died for reliable source. where the hell did gaga confirm the release date of Judas/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.153.106.2 (talk) 18:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the date is comfirmed, Gaga has just stated that it will be released a few weeks before the album comes out, which means late April/early May. Squidoh (talk) 21:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes, but a week ago someone had written May 8th. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.99.177.59 (talk) 13:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First Single...[edit]

--91.154.103.148 (talk) 13:13, 5 January 2011 (UTC) Why is it TBA for the first single, it has been confirmed already by Gaga herself on twitter that Born This Way is the first single and it will be released in february!![reply]

Proof please. — Legolas (talk2me) 15:09, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it has been confirmed, the new single is Born This Way, the title track of the album. Keep up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.109.94.85 (talk) 20:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, she just commented that the single will be released in February, she NEVER say "Born This Way" will be released on February, you are assuming that her upcoming single is called Born This Way, because she commented that the album (wrote as "the record") was in that tweet too. Tbhotch and © 20:59, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, when she says "the single" and "the record" she means they are both called Born This Way. At the mtv awards she sung Born this way, the title track. Every form of media has reported it as the name of the first single aswell. The song she sang at the MTV awards will be the first single. What else could it possibly be called apart from Born This Way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.109.94.85 (talk) 21:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"She says "the single" and "the record" she means they are both called Born This Way." -> Gaga commented that "the record" will be released on May, "the single" in February, therefore Born This Way is the title of her single Tbhotch and © 22:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adding on top of Tbhotch, IPs, please quite the ORing, and don't waste time. "Born This Way" won't be added as the first single untill and unless the horse confirms it. — Legolas (talk2me) 03:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just because the album is called Born This Way doesn't mean that its debut single will be called that. Yes, she sung a portion of what appeared to be titled "Born This Way" at the 2010 VMAs - but we can't just assume that the title is that. You're all far too eager to add information - yes, I'm hungry for her new album - but this is Wikipedia: info should be verified first. Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/lady-gaga/news/252246-lady-gaga-new-single-album-born-this-way-grammys MTV have now confirmed it as the new single. It is official, her statement on New years day clearly stated the same title for both. Please can we accept this now! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.109.94.85 (talk) 22:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but I saw this and just had to comment. Obviously the song and record were both going to be called Born This Way. When I heard of this tweet I went and read it and it was very clear to me and everyone else with half a brain. If you understand the english language you should have been able to identify that.219.89.146.207 (talk) 07:59, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems very strange to me that the editors of this article...[edit]

Keep ignoring the request to change Born This Was as a LG's third studio album even though there are plenty of sources. Doesn't make sense at all. --Akerk (talk) 00:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, for some reason some of them just don't want to call it her third album, mostly because they don't want to acknowledge The Fame Monster as her second. The most amazing thing of all is that one of them has resorted to saying Gaga herself is not a reliable source to help their little argument. 189.153.48.142 (talk) 06:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, what? If you want to ask a question, ask one. If you want to start another discussion, go for it. I gather than The Fame Monster is officially an EP due to its length. (Personally, I don't care either way.) But don't act like snide schoolgirls, bitching about the editors as if they're doing it out of personal malice against you or Lady Gaga herself. It's false and it doesn't endear you to third parties. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 17:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my god, you can't even be serious, all these editors think they're mighty gods 'cause they edit wikipedia, I mean I thank the ones who created it but I've seen this attitude before many times in my life, all these people (I've came across I hope not everyone is like this in other fields) before being so involved with the project probably didn't have anything worthy to do with their lives, now that they believe they do, they hold so strongly to it that they have to treat rudely, ignore, use dismissive tactics and boss around anyone who disagrees on something they can't think for themselves thoroughly. I use some of my time to read about the mainstream music field everywhere including here and know a little about it enough to know something is not right and what changes have been around the music industry, also, I'm a musician myself.

"I gather than The Fame Monster is officially an EP due to its length. (Personally, I don't care either way.)"

What the... is that? Are you editing an ENCYCLOPEDIA and you don't give a damn if a fact is true or wrong? That's why the critics don't trust this encyclopedia enough, but why do I even mention it, YOU DON'T CARE. Yeah, this encyclopedia is written by people who don't give a damn if a fact is true or it is false.

Let me enlighten you with cheap true knowledge an EP is a dying term from the vinyl era, studio album is a little more modern, before, LP automatically meant studio album, but now a studio album, and I'm telling you this as a musician, is a group of tracks that involve a concept, (not to be confused with concept album), all of them recorded in a studio. Studio album is not about the length anymore and probably you will bother me around with sources, and yeah I will give you one that will do just fine, Radiohead is doing me the favor to provide it, their recent album, 'The King Of Limbs' is a legitimate studio album and has 8 tracks, just like The Fame Monster, for both STUDIO ALBUMS, all of the tracks are new, all involve a concept, both are a full effort to ocupy the artist lifetime for a period for promotion, touring, videomaking, single releasing and both last less than 40 minutes, The Fame Monster 34' and The King Of Limbs 37'.

You can call The Fame Monster EP, wich sounds kinda funny because is not per se an extended play since it was all recorded digitally, not released in vinyl, is more than a couple of new songs just to put something out, a practice punk bands used EPs for, is not a compilation, a studio album extract, contain remixes, live recordings, you know like, legitimate extended plays, you can call this personal research all you want but the facts are all over the net and I WON'T EVEN try to modify the album, studio album, extended play articles, here on wikipedia, is not my job for me to do. And I don't mind or reject the EP concept since "reliable sources" cited it as it, but now, and stressing the NOW 'cause the music industry is suffering a big change since the digital era, (less people buy CDs anymore, the disc concept is dying, sales are low, genres are changing):

An EP can be a studio album.

Try to change The King Of Limbs to EP, you could try, in format, is virtually the same to The Fame Monster, you won't be able. Probably because, NOW, and EP CAN be a studio album totally ignoring the length issue. I won't try to convince you about this, I've tried in The Fame Monster, with sources, the article as it is, is:

"The Fame Monster is the third extended play (EP)[1][2][3][4][5] and second major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga."

I wanted to change it to:

"The Fame Monster is the second studio album and third extended play (EP)[1][2][3][4][5] by American recording artist Lady Gaga."

I've tried in many ways to make the people understand it with a couple of wikipedia sources and I've tried in many ways because I respect Lady Gaga because if I EVER had a situation like this being Lady Gaga I would totally be offended that the most popular encyclopedia in the world is not calling my second studio album, my second studio album, just a "second major release" wich actually doesn't mean anything and would demand to change it, I would even get lawyers if you get ballsy, like you totally did with me. That my second album is being publicized just as a release is offensive, is ignoring my work, and probably you don't understand this because you're not a musician.

And with Born This Way, I took the work of gathering sources that call it indeed, her third studio album, you people just ignore it. Probably because in your beautiful brains you can't understand the concept that an EP can be studio album now. The people editing these articles, some are great like a couple of people who helped (and got ignored, too), but some, like most of the people I've come across, including you, are just incompetent, and I'm sorry if this offends you but it's the truth, the people here wasn't even attempting to help and collaborate with the proposition, helping me with the sources, innovating and working together for better knowledge, I've just found closed-minded arrogant people who think know it all.

I just don't have the time and probably the people who listened in the first place just to shut me up would be comfortable that I don't, I don't have so much time to look for sources for every word I say, even if it's true and I actually did look for sources for what I needed to be changed but I got ignored, look up, buddy, I have my sources, but you just don't get it. I'm going less to wikipedia for this reason, knowing there are ignorant indifferent people in charge and it's sad because probably the person who created this had the intention for all the people to trust what's written here. And I do respect the people who did this, however I do have contempt for the people who is comfortable with having lousy information posted. There was and I thank that person, who did change the locked article of Born This Way and listed it as her third studio album (It got changed back however), giving me hope that not all the people here are ignorant and indifferent like you are, I do have a little of understanding that you probably live your life like that damaging others and yourself with the low values of being ignorant and indifferent. And I guess you take the comfort that I don't have the time to make the big effort and put out all the facts with sources by myself even if you will ignore them by nature anyway however I do take the comfort that you guys dedicate so much time and effort in doing a lousy job. Akerk (talk) 10:02, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To reply to some of this: an EP is in fact, not the same thing as a full-length studio album. Just because we are no longer in the vinyl age doesn't mean that the definition of it has changed. It all has to do with the way the record label chooses to market the release. The fact that you provided many sources is a good thing however your overall tone is not going to help to put people in your corner. Whether or not you're a musician makes no difference, and I highly doubt that your assumptions about what Lady Gaga would personally want in this situation have much validity. That said, I'm sure there is a way to work with other editors without attacking or inferring that people "think they're almighty gods" or "don't care" or "don't give a damn" or name-calling like "close-minded", "arrogant", "ignorant" and "indifferent". It's one thing to be frustrated but there's no use in complaining about other people this way. - eo (talk) 14:25, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To reply to some of this too: I'm not a major editor of this article - I visit the pages because I'm a fan of Lady Gaga. If you have a look at my contributions (link in my signature), you'll see that I've worked on a few Gaga-related articles and used to work a lot of Gwen Stefani and No Doubt pages. I responded because you left a message here that insulted people. I said that "I don't care" (and I'll admit it was poorly phrased) whether it's classified as an EP or LP because I was responding to the tone of your message - the EP/LP debate has been argued many times and I'm not invested in it. I got into a similar argument over whether "Christmas Tree", which I took from AFD to GA with the help of Legolas2186, was a "single" or "promotional single"; it didn't help that people provided different definitions of "promotional single". My concern was to build the article. If you compare the histories of the article and its talk page, you'll see that no one involved in the argument actually added anything to the article - they merely derailed the GAN, which was very frustrating.
No, I'm not a musician but I've worked on a lot of music articles. If Lady Gaga were offended by having TFM called an EP, I'm sure she could mention it in an interview and we'd correct it. Or she could call and instigate an WP:OFFICE action. Or she could state it in any kind of official way and ask for the wikipedia page to be changed. But "if I EVER had a situation like this ... I would even get lawyers if you get ballsy, like you totally did with me" - what? You're threatening to sue an editor who has barely worked on the article in a vague, veiled way for being "ballsy"? Despite being a huge fan of Gaga and owning nearly everything she's released, this is why I work on unrelated pages. (And when I have more free time, I'll do some more Gwen Stefani work.)
You've insulted me and other editors, some of whom I've worked with in good faith, quite a lot there. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 21:16, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Editors, please ignore this asshole. he's been stirring up the same pot for the past two months now (on both this page and TFM page) and he just won't stop. There's no use in reasoning with him when consensus was reached last year. The horse is dead, dammit, and it really doesn't matter how many legs it had either. Give it up. I Help, When I Can. [12] 23:40, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello everyone. I went to the drawing board and cooled of and thought of a new solution. I will mention both sides of the argument inside of the article. I will show you later (when I am not on a shared computer). I Help, When I Can. [12] 17:22, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

The cover of the 'Born This Way' album has been revealed so shouldn't there be a picture of it on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.174.29 (talk) 18:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely 100% has look it up on Google or something.
LOL. The photos here are recycled from old photoshoots/events. Why would Gaga reuse old photos for a highly highly highly highly anticipated album? You just know that she wouldn't - she's always striving for the next biggest thing. The covers that are available now look cheap and tacky. Plus, it has been reported that Gaga has recently completed a photoshoot for the album while she stopped in London last December. Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:29, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The one I'm talking about is the one where she's wearing a jacket with a unicorn on the back and the words 'Born This Way' and she is naked from the waist down.
That was never confirmed as the album cover, just a promotional image.92.235.254.101 (talk) 13:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New songs without sources; please check for authenticity.[edit]

Four new song titles have been added to the list.

"One", "Justice," "Strangers", and "Unfathomable" need citations.

70.131.156.23 (talk) 05:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are fake, I've reverted the edits. As far as I know, the only source is from a faked CD cover of the album. (http://fuckingbornthisway.tumblr.com/post/4058236854), though the person who released it later said it was faked. (http://fuckingbornthisway.tumblr.com/post/4070962393/is-it-real-or-fake). Something that is troubling me, however, is this screenshot of Gaga's twitter, of a post that was supposedly later deleted. (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110326141637/ladygaga/images/2/23/IMG_1031.jpg) I'm not sure what to make of it. ɧαεςαתɖɾσϻᴇ 11:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Charting on the iTunes Store is not valid for a song to gain notability on Wikipedia. If you IPs are restless for an article, one is currently being developed at the Wikipedia Incubator here. Consensus needs to be reached before it can be moved to the mainspace, though. Yves (talk) 21:39, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Album Artwork Theories etc[edit]

I think we should definitely add a section about all of the conspiracy theories that are going around about the album artwork. We could definitely mention that many fans were upset and disliked the cover. Also, we could talk about how - maybe - she was betraying her fans, similar to how Judas betrayed Jesus? That'd be interesting to read!

I agree with Yves, don't add them yet, we need reliable sources. Now, in my personal opinion, this looks real. The album is supposed to have 14 tracks, and 12 titles have already been revealed (Born This Way, Americano, Edge of Glory, Judas, Scheisse, Bloody Mary, Road To Love, Marry The Night, You & I, Bad Kids, Hair and Government Hooker). We have 2 titles yet to be released. In Gagavision number 44, while an unknown track of the album was playing (it was mentioned in the video), she left a note that said "Electric Chapel"; I, along with a lot of fans as shown in the comments believe that's a new track (Electric Chapel even was a trending topic on Twitter). Then, she revealed to a French radio station a song called "Heavy Metal Lovers". Coincidence? Food for thought. That's all the help I can give right now.

Just to note, there is debate as to whether this is the final cover art. Internet speculation about the Judas events (Judas betraying Jesus 4 days before Easter, and Judas being leaked 4 days before Easter) are leading people to think that this could be a performance art, and the real cover art will be released on Tuesday as a sort of "resurrection".

1) It's way too low resolution to use at the moment. 2) It's not substantially different from the main cover (or another cover entirely, like TFM), and as such adding it would be redundant and irrelevant.

I believe it should, and it does meet it. Also, several prominent articles have deluxe edition covers, including The Fame Monster.PinkFunhouse13 (talk) 20:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's against our policies to include more than one non-free image when only one is needed. The Fame Monster is different because the two covers are different images entirely. Whereas the special edition cover of this album is the same as the standard, just with a closeup of Gaga's face. –Chase (talk / contribs) 20:40, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the guideline. If an image isn't mentioned in an article or what the image depicts isn't mention in the article, it can't be included. The original cover can be concluded because there is a section devoted to it and it is the product this article mentions. Until we add information about the special edition cover, the special edition image cannot be included in the article. I Help, When I Can. [12] 21:02, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is a section under artwork that discuses the special edition cover. I think that it can be enough for now. I agree with Legolas about WP:NFCC#8, however I'm not saying that it shouldn't be put up to discussion. The Fame Monster album covers are different because the top one was used for the repackage of The Fame and the bottom one was used for just the eight additional songs on the EP. The Born This Way album covers, as Chase said are one in the same. It is not a pressing matter to have a special edition cover put up right now though. I've put it up twice in the past but have read through the WP:NFCC#8. I don't believe that it should be overlooked though. Samlikeswiki (talk) 03:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Both IHelpWhenICan and Samlikeswiki have failed to understand the meaning of WP:NFCC#8. Now how is the cover important in increasing the reader's understanding of Born This Way? Any reason? No, because its just simply a closeup of the original artwork, hence it fails to increase reader's understanding, thereby failing WP:NFCC, since simple words would suffice its description. Thats the reason why it cannot be included, not because it hasnot been discussed. The Fame Monster had two completely different images, both being discussed plus both not being explanable by words. Hence they are included. — Legolas (talk2me) 04:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with everything Legolas said. In short, the special cover is simply a close-up of the standard cover and Wikipedia's copyright policies can't allow that we have both. Yves (talk) 15:39, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in disagree with this, if the different editions are being released under different covers then this should be reflected in the article even if the special edition cover is just a closeup of the original. Noting both covers acknowledges the existence of this two different editions of the album. And they are clearly not the same artwork. Looking at them on a record store it could be interpreted based on the rationale above that they are the same product, while they are not. It doesn't matter how much the cover differs as long as it does differ from the original. I'm pushing into adding the second cover, as it is not based on what we can rationalize from an editors point of view, but on the general public view and to most this is a different cover. afr.mx (talk) 05:01, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, we really don't care whether people are able to recognize the album in stores or not, we are here talking about Wikipedia's non free content policy, which is extremely strict in regards to this. The deluxe artwork doesnt pass any of the 10 points mentioned in it, thereby its removal doesnot hinder the reader in any way, nor does its inclusion add anything concrete to the article, except decoration. And Afrmx, your theory of "it is not based on what we can rationalize from an editors point of view" is basically a moot, since you are stressing on breaking a policy without concrete back-up of what this cover art adds to the article. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can argue that the deluxe cover passes all 10 points of the non free content policy which deal with the content origin and rationale for existence within Wikipedia. I think the real debate is only towards points 3b and 8, which deals with minimal usage and contextual significance. I argue that this is a different artwork even if it uses the same photo, it raises the understanding of the album editions. However I could also realize that this would apply at the present, in the future deluxe editions are not always re-pressed and only the standard edition is kept as part of the active catalog of the record labels. This would mean that in terms of encyclopedic content, only the main cover will be relevant now and 20 years in the future. However almost all CD articles on which a deluxe edition is issued include both covers, so where is the line drawn that this article cannot include the deluxe edition cover? Why is this a different case? afr.mx (talk) 08:57, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You seriously have no idea of NFCC. Again, you are not explaining how it raise sreader's understanding, when basically words can describe the deluxe cover. Saying that "I argue that this is a different artwork even if it uses the same photo" is an exact example of people not having any clue of NFCC and pray tell me which articles use the almost same images as the infobox cover art. If you find them, I request you to remove them. And don't point me to The Fame Monster. — Legolas (talk2me) 09:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ending-start is removing the umlaut from "Yoü and I" to simply You, citing MOS:TM and stylization as his reason.

This has even been confirmed by Universal Music intheir tracklist for BTW. Anybody has any other points?

I agree that we shouldn't be making guesses as to whether certain symbols are stylizations of other symbols. In this case, Gaga's website uses a "+", so I think we can conclude that the cross is indeed a stylization here.VoluntarySlave (talk) 20:39, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that is fairly clear. Although I am only apprehensive because I believe it is more than likely a replacement for the solidus, dividing the song's title into two, and it does not hurt to break the rules over a single symbol.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:48, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as User:Ending-start will not participate in the discussion, I am officially suggesting that we use the dagger symbol † instead of the plus sign + in the song that the use of these two symbols is ambiguous. Just because the UK site uses the plus sign does not mean that it reflects what the song is actually titled as featured in the liner notes.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have a single problem with it, as it is also listed as a dagger on Allmusic, but since her UK official website does list it as a plus sign, I think that it should be listed as such. I think maybe we should compromise for right now, and have the dagger until we have more sources saying so. nding·start 19:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The .co.uk website, as far as it appears, is under control of her UK imprint rather than whatever is controlling the .com domain. As songs are not subject to MOS:TM, we should utilize the dagger/cross/whatever we want to call it as featured in Allmusic and the liner notes unless more sources related to the subject use one of the symbols more to refer to the song.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:25, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Edge of Glory[edit]

Should we add "The Edge of Glory" to the singles section? Make a new article for it? Samlikeswiki (talk) 22:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the promotional singles section, and generally these songs don't get articles.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:17, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dance in the Dark got one, and so did Monster and it isn't a promo. Why should Edge of Glory not get one? Mi.bryson (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2011 (UTC)--Mi.bryson (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has been confirmed by Interscope that the next promotional single will be Hair. It should be mentioned in the article, and as The Edge of Glory, I believe, an article should be written next week. Source. --200.106.15.3 (talk) 20:59, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard has released that it will be the last single before Born This Way. Lady Gaga hasn't said anything about it being the final promo, though. Mi.bryson (talk) 00:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC)--Mi.bryson (talk) 00:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Government Hooker[edit]

What about an article for this track? Before you start to criticize, let's take a look at the information available. The producers are DJ White Shadow and Gaga herself. The title of the song was revealed through Vogue magazine, and during an OTP interview with Ryan Seacrest, Gaga spoke about the song; "It was originally a hip-hop beat, but as we progressed we doubled the speed so it's now a very hard hitting club track. Some of the lyrics are dirty but it is one of my favorite songs off the record".

Later on, on March 2nd, a remix of the song was previewed at the Mugler Paris Fashion Show. In the beginning of the song, you can hear "lo ritorne", which means "I will come back". I found that to be interesting.

DJ White Shadow, the producer, spoke to MTV the later day, and stated "To me, that song is my favorite song, and it’s just a beast. I don’t even know how to explain it." NME described the song as “Gregorian pop chants, pervy robot voices (courtesy of Gaga’s bodyguard, Pete), window-rattling beats, and the extraordinary line 'Put your hands on me, JF Kennedy'.” Furthermore, Gaga revealed that "“The humour is that a machine in tells me what to do and I happily do it as long as I get fucked. It a relates to how our government fuck us over, but it makes fun of the plastic popstar – I’ll do anything as long as you fuck me and pay me.”

Who knows, maybe this information (that is what I could find), isn't enough to meet Wikipedia's criteria, but it's interesting to keep in mind that an article could be created in the future, in case editors are against its creation. For example, Gaga's song Monster isn't a single, nor has a cover, but it helps to improve the universe in which her albums performs. Of course, I wouldn't create an article without asking advanced editors first, so here I am. --190.232.80.52 (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We should not create articles about every single track on this album that gets mentioned in the presses.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But that is how it is going lately. You and I and The Edge of Glory are both on the chopping block because of recentism and thiskind of stuff.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But not here... I was just giving some information. And about You and I and TEOG, is that against Wikipedia's policies? They are well sourced, both have relevant information and gives a better understanding of the album. But that's not the point here. --201.230.113.144 (talk) 02:39, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you feel that way. But here at wikipedia, we have to draw the line somewhere. We can't cover everything. I Help, When I Can. [12] 03:15, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a side here, either it is created or not is beyond what I care. I'm just giving information in case the song gets notability and is in need of an article. I'm not trying to cover "everything" here... --201.230.113.144 (talk) 03:57, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
