OneRepublic frontman and prolific multi-platinum songsmith Ryan Tedder knows a thing or two about publishing credits, having written hits for the likes of Beyonce (“Halo”), Leona Lewis (“Bleeding Love”) and Jordin Sparks (“Battlefield”). So what does his expert ear say about Lady Gaga's latest single?
“[Born This Way] is ‘Express Yourself,’” he told THR at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy gala held on Saturday night, chiming in on what’s already become a heated debate: did Gaga rip off Madonna for her new single? “Me and my wife drove around today and that song came on KIIS-FM every hour on the hour. We were singing ‘Express Yourself’ over the melody! If I wrote ‘Express Yourself’ and I heard that song, I would be calling my manager five minutes later… If Madonna's not getting credit on it, then I would just say, be careful.”

Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly clarkson the same exact (sounding) song twice,

he is the last ****ing person to talk! Are EY & BTW similar because Gaga got the idea to use the same music from Madonna's song? yes! I'll give Madge her due credit, I just can't believe you would reduce yourself to quote Ryan Tedder when there are better ways of proving that BTW mirrors EY.
This interview tho,

gaga sis take it easy. Standing up for yourself is one thing but I would hate to see you have to eat your words later. And it has happened! Her "madonna's heard my song and emailed me back that she loves it" quote for instance. Bit her in the ass and humiliated her more than the reductive comment itself. I love snarky Gaga, but she has to be careful.
