"The buzz has sent the Internet aflutter, with 'Madonna,' 'Born This Way' and 'Express Yourself' all trending on Twitter, and headlines from The Atlantic ('Is Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' a Rip-Off of Madonna's 'Express Yourself'?') to the Washington Post ('Lady Gaga's New Song, 'Born This Way,' Premieres Online. We think Madonna Will Like It') drawing the comparison."It's not the first time Gaga has borrowed from pop staples of the past: "Alejandro," the third and final single off her most-recent album, "The Fame Monster," harkened back to Ace of Base's 1994 rendition of "Don't Turn Around."
The song's release comes almost two weeks after Gaga published the lyrics to "Born This Way" on Twitter. They read like a 21st century handbook on self esteem: "I'm beautiful in my way/'Cause God makes no mistakes/I'm on the right track baby/I was born this way."
