Earlier this week, British 音楽 mag NME set out to determine the “10 Most Pretentious Albums Ever.” The 一覧 includes (genuinely pretty terrible) conceptual fare like Kiss’ 音楽 From “The Elder,” Lou Reed’s Metal Machine 音楽 and, uh, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which somehow bested all competitors to nab the #1 spot.
How? Well, as NME writer Priya Elan wrote, “On Born This Way, [Gaga] seemed to believe in her own hype, convinced she had a message to share. Cue an album of unwieldy ‘anthems’ that couldn’t mask the fact that the fun had left the building.” Elan singled out the thumping “Scheiße” as BTW’s most pretentious moment, adding, “Did electroclash die for this?”
Snap. As you’d probably expect, those jabs had Gaga’s Little Monsters on the offensive, and they launched an all-out attack on Elan in the コメント section of NME’s website. But Gaga herself remained above the fray — for a while, anyway.
On Thursday night, she took to her Twitter account to hit back at NME, a publication that’s certainly been no stranger to charges of pretentiousness over the years.
“Oh the irony of winning ‘Most Pretentious Album Ever’ from none other than NME. *Eye roll,*” Gaga wrote. “I might laugh forever [and] then return to narcissism.”
Double snap. Having sufficiently eye-rolled her way through the situation, there’s been no further コメント from Gaga about the list.

they always ask me Lady GaGa what's race?I only tell 'em I'm from a faraway place
Cristina Agulera looks like she could be my sis
but when she's driving her new Bentley I'll be flying my spaceship
Oh ohooooooh oh oh oh
no dial tone use my finger to phone home
oh ohooooooh oh oh oh
my finger's good for phonin' 'cause I don't get charged for roamin'
"Chorus"
can't deny can't deny that I am really from outer space(x2)
ou ou ou outer 宇宙 ou ou outer 宇宙 ou ou ou outer 宇宙 ou ou outer space
"Verse 2"
I pimp my flying saucer out with rhymestone bling
I used to 日付 Java the ハート, 心 we had a fling
I'm a master at creating crop circles from the sky
my only insecurity is my extra eye(back 2 chorus)
"verse 3"
Don't あなた tell me that I'm cuckoo 'cause I will come and abduct あなた implant a tracker up your nose
use a probe あなた know where that goes(chorus x2)

I want your whisky mouth
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your フレンズ
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Dirty ポニー I can’t wait to hose あなた down
You’ve got to earn your leather in this part of town
Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels
Let’s raise hell in the streets drink ビール and get into trouble
I could be your girl girl girl girl girl girl
But would あなた 愛 me if I ruled the world world world
Oooooo
Heavy Metal Lover
Whip me slap me, drunk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Budlite, liquors, bar slam
Wash the night, with St. J-ameson
Like a baptism
Heavy metal 恋愛中 play
Because we were born this way
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your フレンズ
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
