Madonna’s jealousy of Lady Gaga is finally starting to show. Madonna, the Queen of Pop, recently had an interview on “20/20”, and she accused Gaga’s hit, “Born This Way” is a rip off of one of Madonna’s earlier hits, “Express Yourself”. I agree that both songs are kind of similar. I don’t think Gaga would rip off Madonna at all. Gaga has always been a fan and admirer of Madonna. So, I would think, “Born This Way” is a homage for Madonna, in my opinion. A homage/tribute, kind of a thing.
So Madonna accuses Lady Gaga of being a thief? Well, Madonna shouldn’t accuse Gaga of anything ’cause Madonna herself has stole from other artists. Madonna stole, “Deep In Vogue”, by Malcolm McLaren to use for her hit, “Vogue”, and she also stole an Ingrid Chavez song for her hit “Justify My Love”. I’m sure she ripped off plenty of other songs from other songwriters too. Not only that Madonna ripped off music over the years, she also ripped off her image that she stole from other celebrities like Marilyn Monroe for starters.
Madonna’s music career may have meant something to all of us back in the early days in the 80’s but today she’s a joke. I like Lady Gaga because she’s definitely like a modern day Madonna, but even better. I love Lady Gaga. Loved all 3 of her albums, and “Born This Way” is her best album.
People maybe getting tired of Gaga and her unique fashion, but in defense of her weird fashion ways, I think she’s just trying to express herself. I believe it’s okay to be different, it’s a free country and you can look like how you want to look like. I don’t think what Gaga is doing is for attention. She’s a talented artist. I would see her in concert if she ever came around here.
