I'm on the right track

so I just watched Lady Gaga's new video for Born This way. I love the song and i think that it's brilliant how Madonna-esque it really is. I love that she's also speaking out for gays, lesbians, transgender, as well as races who are often subject to prejudice. I think that even the plot for the video in it's own nutty way is kind of cool and futuristic.

However, I feel the need to criticize Gaga. In the video she's dancing around barely clothed singing that she was born this way, and that's really awesome for her, but she's got it made! She's rich, she's got a perfect body, supportive friends and family, and she's a white woman from NYC. Like anyone, I'm sure she has her problems, but it's alot easier for her to say what she does. On the other hand, maybe she's speaking for those who don't have as strong a voice as she might.

Aside from that, I think it's a great song and if you haven't seen the video have a look down below

    Yesterday I saw a boy who wants to be a girl listening to this song really loudly and when I read your blog about this song and how she speaks out for the "different" people I was reminded of what I saw yesterday. I really appreciate someone as big as GaGa singing a song like this because I believe that it does help the "different" people feel better about themselves
