1. bad romance because it was the first lady gaga song i fell in love with 2. Applause because ive been waiting for this song forever and it actually turned out great and i love it 3. born this way because of the message and 4. just dance is my least favorite but i still love dancing and singing along to it everytime i here it!
It think the music in Applause is amazing, sticky, erotic and energic, but the problem with the song is that we can't get related with the lyrics, that makes the song less powerfull that Born This Way or Bad Romance.
You can't compare "I'm beautiful in my way cause God makes not mistakes" or "I want your love and I want your revenge" with "I live for the applause, applause, applause".
Maybe this is her way to tell us that she can't live without us and how she felt being out of the spot and that makes the message of the song special, specially to Gaga to sing it.
Anyway, I miss her amazing poetry.
