Today, we’re going to be talking about Lady Gaga’s second studio album, “Born This Way’. After the immense success of her debut album, “The Fame”, it was a big question on how newcomer Lady Gaga could top herself.
“The Fame” largely centers around fame itself and her love for it; hoping to inspire those to feel as if they had said fame, despite who they are or where they come from. There was a general empowerment across this album.
Known for her theatrical performance, self-described performance art and helping revive electronic dance music for the general public, Gaga had set the bar pretty high for herself in just one era.
So how is it possible Gaga was able to find even more success and leave another imprint on the music industry? Let’s find out!

#LadyGaga #BornThisWay #TheFame
This era was humanities cultural peak, we just evolved backwards after BTW
Especially when artpop came out, no one knew how iconic it was :(
so very true
I have to agree, I believe we have gone way too far the other way now, you can't say anythingggg anymore without people getting upset or offended.
@@jessejameslatimer8686 Soo True!... humans just get offended too easily nowadays.. like everybody is turning into a rebellious teenager...
I feel like at the time the world was missing a pop star so outspoken about social issues so she made everyone feel welcomed and loved
Now every single one does it and we are tiredd
@@pelayo341 😭😭😭 this is so accurate
This is definitely her magnum opus and her prime. Someone take me back to 2011😭
Art pop is my favorite album but BTW is the best era
her starting the album with “marry the night” means a lot to me. the song is mostly about her knowing that she would not give up on her life and drop her dreams. it was such a stark difference to how we all thought lady f-ing gaga would start this album, especially after the fame monster and the massssssivvvve success of it. seeing vulnerability in such a huge pop star was nothing new to gaga, but, in an album of self acceptance and love, that song showed - even if for the first minute - how self hate and deprivation in regards to the lack of success in our lives can still get to us. and then we spend almost the entire rest of the album being empowered. so yeah, the first song really means a lot to me. i know i, and many other people, can say that this album saved my life.
Marry the night is one of favorites song from this album
Marry The Night should've been the 2nd single after BTW!!
I remember this era being so controversial, but then in the end it became on her most important and iconic.
Born This Way was never for the general public, it was for the fans. That's what made it so special. And such a bold decision to make so early in her career! Great video by the way xx
Let's put It this way
Fame and Fame monster - For everyone, the general public
Born this way - To the fans
Artpop - I feel it was more towards the critics. But nobody got it at the time.
Only the album cover was enough to scare away the heteros.
@@inma5665 "They can't scare me, if I scare them first"
-Lady Gaga, 2009
@@ruangali2 hahahah genius!!
she literally saved so many lives with this album... does it matter anything else? no other popstar in this century has achieved that.
Years later and she still says that she would like to be remembered for the message in this album, which makes her injury during this era so much more heartbreaking because she just wanted to keep going and spread the message 💔 I'll never forget attending the Born This Way Ball, one of the best nights of my life
Also Marry the Night is a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED song and mv
I became a Gaga fan during ARTPOP, but Born This Way was and still is so important to the world that I wish I had experienced it.
Yes please more Gaga. Born This Way was destined for huge success no matter what. I like to think an artists record sales and reception is a reflection of the album that came before. With The Fame Monster and Monster Ball tour being so massive, she had so much momentum. BtW was her true Imperial Era and her best body of work. Critics just hopped on the hate train that was starting, which would implode during ARTPOP. Marry the Night and Hair are my choice picks. Hair still brings me to tears. Never forget you Jamey.
Born This Way is my favorite album of hers. I can't believe she dared to bring those sounds into the mainstream, and it paid off immensely. Is it her magnum opus? Perhaps, but her career isn't over yet and she's grown so much as an artist I expect a lot more great albums from her.
King what did we do to deserve all these videos recently?
Probably when he didn’t post for months
The Born This Way Album is the very experimental such as Artpop
I’ll never forget her 2011 VMA performance. Her stage presence and acting were iconic and remarkable!
Born This Way is still her best album ❤️
@Jean Gabriel Dias. My rank is:
1. Born This Way
2. The Fame Monster
3. Chromatica
4. The Fame
5. ASIB
6. Joanne
7. Artpop
8. Cheek to cheek
It's fame monster
The Fame Monster>>
tbh i relate “born this way” to “prism” as they are both huge & important albums in each artists respective careers that aren’t necessarily considered their peak, but helped each of them reach new heights and do things different or unheard of from their previous albums (think, an lgbtq anthem being #1 for 6 weeks, katy performing at the super bowl, etc.)
Agree with you and also both of them had their hard period after these two ( Witness and Artpop)
The fact that this album saved many people's lives makes it incomparable and legendary.
I think this album is so beloved because this is Gaga pretty much giving a hug to the listeners of accepting them for who they are and loving them for who they are and that they should do the same.
Gaga is my god. My religion is little monster. Scheiße, Black Jesus + Amen Fashion and Heavy Metal Lover are my favourites on the album! It's a shame her best tour (Born This Way Ball) had to be cancelled, but her health is always the priority. The artpop act 2 thing makes me so happy! I like to think of BTW as her 3rd because although The Fame Monster was technically an EP, I think it has the power of an album. Also I love your content :)
it is but the actual name is "The Fame Monster DELUXE"
Edge Of Glory is probably my favorite track off of Born This Way
Update: As of right now, Hair is my favorite track off of Born This Way
I like born this way. I think it's her best album (i mean, it's the 3rd, and usually the 3rd is the longest, greatest, biggest, greatest) and ot definitely deserves all the recognition it gets
Hair remains to be my favorite song from Gaga. This album is everything
I loved both The Born This Way and the ARTPOP eras. Both of these albums are terribly underrated. I honestly thought ARTPOP would be more successful than Born This Way, 'cause Born This Way delved into controversial and risky topics but still managed to be succesful and wasn't really intended for the general public, it was somewhat a dark era, but with ARTPOP I thought it would be directed towards a more general public, more colorful, and it would be toned down somehow, for that reason I believed it would do so much better than Born This Way. After all, I agree, Born This Way was her magnus opus.
I think the collab issue and released date is what make ARTPOP didn’t steal the spotlight
Born this way??? Underrated????
You are totally entitled to your own opinion but to say “born this way terribly underrated” just doesn’t make sense. BTW was Gags’s peak and magnum opus, she had the entire world watching her every move, every single media outlets attention and to add more to this era, a lot of backlash from religious groups for the message she was trying to spread at the time. This was Gaga’s moment! Not saying she isn’t all that anymore but Born This Way was extremely successful and known by many people and the sales, music video views, tabloids and protests say it all.
@@hogwartsismyhome6474 yeah, underrated, many people started dislking Gaga in this era and didn't realize how incredible this album and its message are. Nobody talks about how important this album is, it deserves so much more.
@@unferk I get what your trying to say but from my personal opinion I’ve heard a lot of people that I’d consider “locals” that acknowledged the impact her Born this Way era brought to the music industry and society as a whole. Just last month I overhead a couple of teachers that I had in the past talk about how progressive and exciting this era truly was, she was breaking all sorts of records and standers in the industry, but I also agree that this was the era that the general public started to steer away from Gaga because of what she supported and many didn’t agree with her opinions and stance. Needless to say from what I’ve read and seen many critics have appreciated and applauded for what this album was in during its time. (Also I really hope you don’t think I’m disagreeing with what you said, I totally understand and agree, just wanted to share my point of view and opinion.)
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
she saved so many lives with this album
MARRY THE NIGHT IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAGA SONG
Next month this album is turning 10... I feel so damn olddd!!!!!
Because it was a Moment In Music that was Magical that Made a Statement and meant a lot to so many and is one of my favorite songs of all time, I even know the dance and have 5 stars in Just Dance on Extreme Level lol
Some could say that it aged badly and I could agree. But this album is so important, the whole message and performance, THAT was timeless. Some people may not connect with her and that's fine, but she was revolutionary the moment she released the song Born This Way (no matter straight, gay or bi, let's live in transgender life). This album is very Gaga-ish, so maybe it was not for the general public at first, but the album said: "This album is for you". She made the album for her fans and she had an ambition: to spread a beautiful message. I love all the songs, but at some point I don't think it's about the album that much, but about the era itself.
Lady GaGa is a legend.
Indeed.
I’ll always remember at the MTV 2010 when she announced the name of Born This Way ! And at the Monster Ball ! Anyways, we love you Mother Monster ❤️
And good job ! Really :) This video explained to me new things that I didn’t know about BTW. This video deserves to be viral for all little monsters in this world 🌎❤️
10 years later and it's still her best record.
Devil works hard but Pop Dissected works harder
Born this way is amazing! But Joanne is an amazing album and it’s often looked over :(
Finally I found someone who thinks that joanne is awesome and it deserved much more..
When that album came out I fell in love with that album because it was so different from her previous albums..
I don't know why people say that it was a bad album..
In my opinion Joanne was much better that Genericmatica I mean Chromatica 😒😒
@@hamletvillilo6838 i don't think comparing chromatica to joanne is a valid comparison. with all due respect, she had a ton of things to say with chromatica. just like she did with joanne and those albums mean different things to her. to say that one is very generic compared to the other is not really a good way to look at it when both have their strengths and weaknesses. but gaga doesn't fail to come up with a very good body of work for each era.
i waited for this video for sooo long 😭😭😭 ty for spoiling us king we love you 🖤🖤🖤
stop DELETING MY COMMENTS THIS IS ME TIBI BESTIE
@@artpop4200 what 😭😭😭 do i follow u on insta???
@@ozzzempic you're beautiful
@@isidroguevara4120 thank u sm ur so sweet 🥲🤍
@@ozzzempic 💓😬😁
Omg so many videos in a row we are getting FED😍🙌
This is off topic from the video and I don’t know if you discussed this, but can you do a video on the legacy of The Velvet Rope? It’s such a masterpiece omg. I would love to hear your thoughts on it and how it birthed the dark and vulnerability we see in today’s pop/R&b music.
Please continue with ARTPOP 💗
Born This Way is still probably one of my fave Gaga albums, sooo many bops
the album was just a perfect moment in time. It said so much and had a lot of deep meanings all wrapped up into a "perfect" pop album. Its my favorite album of hers! Also the music videos, visuals, choreo, and everything else just SLAYYED! I loved the different styles including You and I's country/rock pop vibe and the sample of "We Will Rock You" was also a nice touch, and adding Brian May to anything is always great! There were crazy pop/edm bops like JUDAS that could not only get you to dance but also learn a lil something.lol also the choreo in JUDAS is just BEYOND! honestly really iconic in my eyes. This entire album from top to bottom was polished to perfection. it was a fully thought out idea and when you listen to it you're immersed into this entire new world with wild characters like Jo Calderone and
her peak from 2009-2010 definitely gave her momentum for btw in 2011
I always liked this album, more on how it was different from other acts at the time (sound, message, and visuals) and I feel that it aged nicely into this new decade, for me at least. It won me over to becoming a fan of her music, and I believe it is her magnum opus. This is Gaga at her most creative and when her stardom was at an all time high, and still her most daring album she made.
Great video as always! This era was a cultural reset and I was so lucky enough to live through the era! Also, thanks for saying my name right!
Edge of Glory is my favorite Gaga Songs
Born This Way is a thousand percent her best album and one of the best albums OF ALL TIME
This album saved my life
you’ve really been feeding us with these back to back uploads the past few days!! we appreciate u very much thank u so much for all of your hard work
She inspires me tremendously.
YES. Thank you for doing this
12 years later and Bloody Mary is a hit single 🎉
I love this album so much
Hair and Highway Unicorn are such good songs and the album as a hole has such a good theme
It shows us that if she pushed further with the rock themes and had a sole rock album SHE WOULD BE LEGENDARY
Idk if you find these annoying but it'd be interesting to hear you discuss why Nelly furtado's "Loose" album was successful. I love "born this way". Great album and era
The success of Bloody Mary recently shows that Born This Way was always ahead of its time, Gaga knew she would be appreciated years later
honestly Bloody Mary is my least favorite on the album but the fact that it reached success a decade later is a testament to how crazy this album was.
This Album is one of my favorite because is diverse when it comes to music and the subject matter.
THE best album
YASSSS I VE BEEN ASKIN FOR DIS ONE! THANKS! GREAT VID
i wished u discussed the theme of Religion and religious refrences in this album which are important and worth mentioning , but great video overall as usual
Can you talk about doja cat and if she can hold the sucess during her next albums.
We have been pampered with all these content, thank you!!!! 💖
I'm still in love with the fame and ARTPOP
HEAVY METAL LOVER UNDERRATED 😭
my fav song on the album tbh
QUEEN OF MUSIC
Great video! My only critic is that you said Born This Way was her second album, it’s accepted by Gaga and her fans that The Fame Monster is its own piece of work and counts as her second album, apart from that it’s amazing !!
BTW is her magnum opus no questions asked... Most definitely her most daring and experimental album yet.
Love that ARTPOP is having it's moment rn but i think it's more motivated by commercial succes. While BTW has the better numbers, people still tend to forget about BTW.. hope it gets it's renaissance some day too
Just listen to the stems and the instrumentals and you see that Born This Way ist one of the best and most impactful albums of all time.
I was 11 when this album came out and it just grabbed me and shaped my entire life, the way I see things, the way I react to stuff, the way I love myself and others, the way I respect, appreciate and enjoy the life that I was given and most importantly the way I feel about art in general. The impact that it has over the world and how much it is possible to create something so powerful if you are honest and unapologetic about it. Later I discovered more and more about that though many other different artists, but Born This Way was the best timing for me personally. I am not going to say that it's the best album of all time, the most experimental and stuff like that, because I am aware that there were tons of stuff like that in the past. Now I am 22 years old filmmaker and musician and of course I know so much about the history of arts, but when I was 11 I knew nothing and Born This Way was all those things to me. It created my perspective of the world and I forever will be grateful for that.
I love this album more than anything in my life. And I love the person behind that album even more.
What a masterpiece!
Goshhhhhh I've been waiting for this video... Thank you so much 🥰 love your videos 💕
this is definitely her magnum opus. this album was a love letter to her fans, and its message remains relevant today. also, she put marry the night, yoü and i, and edge of glory (her 3 best songs) on one album, and it’s not supposed to be her best? not to mention its supported by songs like judas, hair, black jesus + amen fashion, government hooker, sheiße, etc? no it’s definitely her best work
After The Fame Monster era, all Gaga's albums deserve more level.
This album saved me ❤️
This era is my art inspo as designer. Something crazy and insane confident conceptual. Just pop icon !😍
Its like clear energy songs, so powerful
Wild free mind
Side note and no shade but born this way only sold the way it did first week because billboard counted the album being sold for 99p or something like that, that’s why she sold over a million first week
That is true but when those 99p sales weren't included in the debut numbers it still sold over 700,000 full price copies, and there also isn't any way of knowing whether or not those who bought it for 99p on Amazon did so because it was cheap or because they genuinely wanted the album. Given the immense success of The Fame and the hype for Born This Way, I'd hedge my bets and say it was the latter. I guess what I'm saying is that even without the discounted copies it still sold immensely well.
@@troopbuster oh yeah! 100%! I’m not taking away the fact that born this way was hugely successful. It’s a great album!
I cant believe you didnt mention huge hits Marry the Night, Edge of glory, Judas and You and I !!!!
Confessions on a dance floor by Madonna in 2005 revived dance music in USA. Confessions was a massive global and USA hit. Look at charts before confessions.
The Edge of Glory deserved at least one week at #1, pop hits of that caliber don’t come around every summer!
the album itself though, man... what a trip. it really helped a lot of young people who were struggling with their identities around that time, and it had such striking visuals and sonic palettes. imo yes it was her peak, but she certainly still has that creativity in her. it just feels like Chromatica was maybe her farewell to dance-pop and now it’s time to move on to rockier sounds. we’ll see what she does after House of Gucci and Bullet Train, she knows how to keep her fans on their toes
Well born this way the best album ever
Can you talk about the impact of “The Fame”?
Just go to Flashy's channel. He talked about the fame album.
@@tylerwestbrook2392 I’ve seen that one
Gaga rocked this album .. I’m going to play it loud again right now
The Queen is so underrated. Theres a video of her singing it acapella to a disabled fan that always makes me tear up
The fact that it was sold on Amazon for £1 on its first release was such a risk but it still sold MILLIONS
Born this way was made for everyone and everyone should be able to buy it
Marry The Night - my all time favourite Gaga's song🖤
I think BTW is incredibly pop and although the sounds are slightly different in small elements (is a guitar) it's still pure electronic pop dance throughout.
I think it's the subject matter of the songs that are quite broad.
Either way, it's a massively exciting and full energy album.
I love it!
I just remembered Neon Hitch was a person did we all collectively forget abt her bc I really wanna know what happened to her 💀
loving the daily videos😁!!
I love lady Gaga
This album deserves all the success it made, it is empowering, strong, and it has lots of important messages! Such a cultural reset🙌🏽
love these continuous uploads!!
i loved this video! i would love to see a video on positions, and how ariana has now achieved longevity in her work and how the songs have grown since you first listened to it (as long as the deluxe tracks!)
u spilled so much that i accidentally slipped and fell
10 YEARS!
I actually didn't fully understood Born This Way until a couple years ago. It's not something I got right away in 2011 when it comes to songs aside from Yoü And I, Judas, Born This Way and Alejandro. It is very complex.
Again I'm early,
You know how I be,
Born this way is iconic,
And Gaga is Queen
BORN THIS WAY🦄🦄🦄IS SO ICONIC, I CAN LISTEN 2 THAT ENTIRE ALBUM WITHOUT SKIPPING A SINGLE SONG.#LOVE💞#LADYGAGA💖💖
The album 💿 saved my life and many others. It’s just a way to celebrate yourself and others even in the darkest hour.
FWIW, the outfits at 7:25 and 7:31 are from the 2010 VMAs and 2010 Grammys, respectively, and thus aren't part of the BTW era; they were from The Fame Monster era.
Video suggestion: saweetie 😃
ARTPOP’s distinguished genres between songs are easier to tell than Born This Way.
My songs from the album are ; Born this way, edge of glory, marry the night, hair, Schibe, Heavy Metal Lover, Judas and Bloody Mary.
I am not a monster whatsoever but i give credit where its do n Gaga trailblazed thru the early 2010s wit unstoppable force!!
She singled handedly changed the pop game with her eccentric n unconventional ways, by just being HERSELF n had allthe original pop divas following her trends!!
I really hate how the media cause friction between her & Nicki.
Ever wonder why Nicki worked with all the other pop girls, except GAGA?! They were dominanting their fields respectively but we never got that collab thanks to the messy media.
To me, a Gaga/Nicki track holds the same power as a Beyonce/Rihanna track (Or a track with all 4) haha can us fans start a petition/hashtag for the 4 Horsewomen of music to work together
Born this way is one of the best albums ever. Yes, it is over the top but why should that be bad? Its experimental, its unique and it can barely be classified as "pop". Its a genre for itself, and so is ARTPOP.
