Born This Way vs Express Youself: THE 2012 POLL

[Loufoque]

Which EMPOWERS YOU MORE?

[Agnetha]

BTW marginally, but only because I DESPISE Express Yourself.

[VoR]

Sorry but anyone who votes Born This Way here is the epitome of RUBBISHGAI

[Jark]

Now I love Born This Way dearly but Express Yourself is in another league altogether

What you need is a big strong hand to
Lift you to your HIGHER GROUND
Make you feel like a QUEEN on a throne
Make him love you til you CAN'T COME DOWN!

[Agnetha]

File it under SELF HELP MUSIC for gays who think listening to a POP RECORD is EMPOWERING.

[Johnkm]

Express Yourself without a doubt, for quite some time my #1 Madge song in fact wheras BTW is just utter shit.

[POP!]

"Express Yourself", I suppose... but there are much better Madonna records she could've copied wholesale

[TurnerPrize]

I think they should BOTH be brushed under the rug forever, but i'll go with Express Yourself thanks to a wider gap of history telling me that it was just a blip in the back catalogue, and that Madge had lots of moments of being an AMAZING WORLDCHANGING POPSTAR between it and now.

Born This Way doesn't have that benefit yet. Maybe Gaga will have some proper classic songs in the future, but right now it was the moment that she quite clearly shat away all the potential she had built up of being an amazing world changing popstar to rival Madonna, for me at least. I remember being PROPER excited to see what she was going to come back with, and then out pops Born This Way

I think "Come on girls!" is an awful opening though, it always makes me think Madonna's leading an aerobics class throughout the WHOLE SONG and i can never shake the thought.

[Devil]

Express Yourself hands down. Neither particularly empower or inspire me but it is hands down the better tune.

[Penelope]

Express Yourself is hands down the better tune.

It's the same one!

[straightorbroken]

It GOES something like THIS ('drunken Aunties dancing' routine):



My favourite part is the catwalk strut onwards: channeling her neo-camp black woman ("cause you know they always dooo"); "and now he ain't getting this" whilst rubbing to her flat gym ass.

[Devil]

It's the same one!

This is true! By tune I mean track/song ;)

[Pipo]

I fucking hate BTW

[JackS]

Born This Way easy. Never quite saw the similarities in the same way everyone else did though.

[Jark]

To be fair the only similarities I hear are in the key the song is sung in and the way the lines go higher at the end. Musically they don't sound alike.

THANK YOU. Been saying this since FEB '11.

[Tyler Durden]

Who in their right mind would choose Born This Gay over Express Yourself?!

[Tyler Durden]

I think EY is also my #1 Madonna song

Love, love, LOVE this performance! And I got to see it live...TWICE!

You're obviously very young...and tone deaf.

[Jark]

Who in their right mind would choose Born This Gay over Express Yourself?!

If I had to guess, Agnetha, chlamydia92, Eileen, JackS, Loufoque, Penelope Stagnant, RobotBoy and... who's that other one? He likes Gaga QUITE A LOT... his name fails me right now

It's not the same melody, it's the exact same chord progression.

Young, yes - Express Yourself was a bit before my time. But I think Madonna has MUCH better (Hung Up anyone?). Whereas BTW was my ultimate anthem for most of last year.

I was referring to the fact that you never saw the similarities between these two songs.

[Tinu]

I prefer Born This Way over Express Yourself. I like the lyrics and the artist more.

[Christian]

Notes for Tinu:

- Proper punctuation PLEASE
- No text speak THANK YOU

[funky]

Express Yourself is amazing (particularly the remix)

Born This Way is camp noise.
