...Illegally download it instead?

I have morals...

Technically, ripping it off of your sister for your use is an action equal to downloading it from someone else's sister.

And it's not like Gaga needs your money anyways.

Okay, the mean reason is that I'm an impulsive pirate and that I'm trying to stop doing it altogether. Plus stealing it briefly is far quicker and simpler than sifting through ten pages of The Pirate Bay to find the one torrent that actually has any seeders.

With that said, she's bringing absolutely nothing new to the genre, really. Sort of just hollowly referencing to her heroes.

Yeah that had definitely crossed my mind. I don't think there's really anyone out there right now in the pop world that's genuinely doing something new/different. Well, maybe there is? I don't know.

Haha, just get a mediafire link! I'll even find one for you.

I'm trying to spare you humiliation and the wrath of your sister here.

I reckon I can do it without her noticing. I got skillz in this area of expertise.

With that being said, not every artist produces something new to a genre when they make their creations. Most artists in general echo their influences.

Yeah, but not always as blatantly, and not always heralded as musical monoliths like Lady Gaga illogicaly has been.
