"Is Lady Gaga egging her critics on?\r\nAfter arriving at Sunday&amp;apos;s Grammy Awards in a womb-like vessel, the 24-year-old pop star phoned into Ryan Seacrest&amp;apos;s KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday to explain her bizarre entrance.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was in there for about 72 hours. It was a very creative experience,&amp;quot; Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) said. &amp;quot;It was time for me to really prepare and think about the meaning of the song and get prepared for the performance. I really wanted to be born on stage.&amp;quot;\r\nThough her unconventional arrival drew mixed reactions, Gaga insists that it was a necessary part of her premiere &amp;quot;Born This Way&amp;quot; performance.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The creative vessel was helpful for me to stay focused. We had it backstage so that I was able to really stay in this sort of creative, embryonic incubation,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;This is what I do, Ryan. I&amp;apos;m so passionate about this record and the meaning of the album.&amp;quot;\r\nThough her latest single has already claimed the No. 1 spot on iTunes, Gaga told Seacrest, 36, she&amp;apos;s already planning for the next phase of the Born This Way era.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The next single is called &amp;apos;Judas&amp;apos; and that will be out a couple of weeks before the album. I did that record with RedOne, who is so amazing,&amp;quot; she raved.\r\nOther songs on the album include &amp;quot;Marry the Night&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Government Hooker,&amp;quot; as well as Gaga&amp;apos;s favorite track, &amp;quot;Hair,&amp;quot; which she described as &amp;quot;a club record with this Bruce Springsteen vibe to it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;When I create music, I see music as sort of a wall of sounds and colors. Every song sort of bears this hue and this color to it, and that&amp;apos;s how I end up ultimately creating the performances,&amp;quot; the singer said. &amp;quot;That was one of my most favorite things at the Grammys, the color palate of the stage. I just thought it was so beautiful and that&amp;apos;s really how I see the song.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
