'Born This Way' is a absolutely brilliant LP. Gaga's continuous progression as an artist is refreshing. She could have rested on her laurels but instead she put together a album that is truly a fantastic piece of work. This is not to say that The Fame & The Fame Monster weren't enjoyable, especially the latter- I knew then that Gaga would continue to step her game up. Yet 'Born This Way' is truly in a league of its own.

Now with that being said, not only is the album in a league of its own but so is Gaga as not just an artist but as a performer. She has been cranking out one amazing performance after another this era. Her acoustic versions of her songs have always been enjoyable and I recognized her having a good voice early on but nowadays her voice is just so much more soulful, powerful and all around rich.

Go Gaga!
