... could the beef between the two be avoided? I think Madonna would support Gaga if she didn't ignore Madonna in her speech at the Grammy's and just mentioned her with Whitney for inspiring her to write the song. I think Madonna acted that way because she was heartbroken.

What do you think? I know it's been years since the ''incident'' but I wondered about this after reading what Donatella said.

Why does she have to give credit if Madonna wasn't the one who inspired her?

Madonna has absolutely nothing to do with Born This Way, she didn't even inspire it.

Madonna clearly did inspire it. However Gaga may have been unaware of the similarities.

So even if Gaga gave some credit I don't think this mess would've been avoided

Oh thats right Whitney Houston did

this.

Gaga doesn't have to do ****

Why'd she give her credit for something that isn't remotely close to being inspired by her?

She gave credit to Whitney and that's the only one that inspired the song.

Nah. Madonna doesn't like competition. She was successful in pushing a campaign against Gaga, making sure that she peaked and would no longer be a threat.

Have you tried playing their choruses at the same time?

What if we start with Madonna giving credit to The Staples Singers first?

No. Probably will still do it for 'marketing purposes'.

Screaming.

I think so. Gaga was too blatant with the madonna imitations yet she wanted to give credit to Whitney Houston?
It was a bit disrespectful

not witney houston

madonna is on the thanks of the fame booklet she credited enough, anyway gaga did the same thing with alejandro and ace of base but they did not bitching about it.

weren't you complaining about flamebait in the other thread?
