Lady Gaga has stayed silent for a long time over Madonna calling her a copy cat..Since lady Gaga released her "Born this way" single, Madonna won't let her have her peace..Madonna who is 53 years old said there are similarities between her material Girls hit " Express yourself and Born this way..
When Gaga's song came out in May last year, Madonna said: ''I thought what a wonderful way to redo my song". I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was... interesting.'
She also told Cynthia McFadden on 20/20: 'When I heard it on the radio, I said "that sounds very familiar". It feels reductive.'
But Gaga defended herself and retorted: 'That's retarded. If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities is the chord progression.
'It's the same one that's been in
disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I'm the first f******
artist in 25 years to thinking of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn’t
mean I'm a plagiarist, it means I’m f****** smart. Sorry.'
According to reports, Gaga, 26, made a few choice comments during a concert last week in Auckland, New Zealand.
She said" It sometimes makes people feel
better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or
maybe make mockery of their work,' she told the audience in between
songs.
'And that doesn’t make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I'm not a good human being,' she added, according to The Huffington Post.
'I don't even want to fight back
because it's more important to me to keep writing music. Because that's
really all I care about, is the music.'
She finally added" Things are really different than they
were 25 years ago, and that's what makes Born This Way so relevant for
me; ,'We're socially in a different place and it's OK, we don't have to
all slice and hate each other anymore.'' said Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta,
Seriously what are they fighting for? Both are popular so why all this..Typical women characteristics!
Madonna just sounds so darn catty. Really, at age fifty three, can't she be more gracious? So what if the song sounded similar? I actually found Lady Gaga's comments to be more mature.
ReplyDeleteYeah really, why the bickering. They are both very talented artists in their own right. It's one song Madonna, get over it. Lady Gaga has plenty of original hits that helped her rise to star status and they are not similar to yours. Madonna had her time in the spotlight, let Lady Gaga have hers.
ReplyDeleteWow, such unnecessary drama! Lady Gaga is a true talent, she's not ripping anyone off.
ReplyDelete~Kelly
Lady Ga-Ga scares me...Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the bickering between artistes. It seems to be happening all over the world these days. Have a good day May!
ReplyDeletesometimes song will have their similarities. It doesnt mean one plagarise
ReplyDeleteMany of the older heads can't accept that someone is out shining them. They have had their chance at stardom, time to pass the torch.
