However, in regards to the line in the chorus (p-p-p-poker face vs her face) you've questioned: This section of the lead vocal on the song's chorus does sound like its been edited, processed, and digitally altered. The album version is 3:58 in length while the airplay versions usually cut down to just a little over 3 minutes in length (many radio stations do prefer to play songs ~3 minutes in length) but some station reportedly have censored out the word 'muffin', 'Russian Roulette' and 'gun' (source: Wapedia). I hear a distinctive, 'explosive' 'po' sound (not a 'fa') as the beginning syllable on every version I've listened to. I've heard both various radio play and album versions and own the Fame Monster version of the single, which I just listened to again.
