Dude, all she's done with unicorns is a tattoo and a jacket.....and she won't be putting them in her video because it's completely WHACK and GaGa's not a basic bitch.
She doesn't have a patent on unicorns, but you know everyone would be singing a different tune if it had been the other way around.
Trying to make your point with an overlong joke that misses the mark fails to disprove my post - Ke$ha is Lady Gaga with a slight time delay. This is not the first - or last - time we've seen it happen. Although lately she's been smarter about it with trying to beat her to the punch.
And you need not worry about the flack BTW will get - covers of the song have gotten more views than Ke$ha or Britney's actual videos.
K.
We've literally had this discussion a thousand times, Nicole. You have failed to sell me (or anyone else who isn't a Gaga fan) on the idea that Ke$ha is Lady Gaga with a slight time delay.
Exactly. All she's done with unicorns is put one on a jacket and put one on her leg, yet some of your fellow fans act like Gaga has claims over all things horned and horse-like, or that Ke$ha would see said jacket/tattoo and immediate begin hashing plans for a unicorn infested video. It's pure insanity.
I'll ignore the unnecessary "basic bitch" digs, but do expect a more sensitive Ke$ha fan to hit that report button.
I agree that it is over reaching......but you can't find any irony in the fact that no pop star in the industry did anything with unicorns until recently with GaGa's jacket & tattoo....I can't recall anyone ever using them. [Lisa Frank doesn't count because she was never a pop music star].
But now that she's doing it around the same time [really though, after] as GaGa has used unicorns, it just looks tacky. It doesn't matter if it was purposeful or just for fun, she should've known to go with another idea just to be able to refute comparisons in the future. I don't find it copy cat because it's not as if GaGa created the animal, but we ALL are aware of GaGa's whole unicorn thing. Trying to justify that it's okay for Ke$ha to use unicorns in this video is the same as saying that Ke$ha stole GaGa's "unicorn idea" to me.

Are you ****ing kidding me?! Nobody except the Gaga fans are interested in making comparisons between Ke$ha and Gaga. Any idea that the one somehow influences the other is something propagated entirely by snarky journalists and Gaga fans. Nobody on team Ke$ha would go out of their way to condemn Gaga for doing anything that could be considered even remotely Ke$ha-esque.

I was about to point out 'the media' always compares them, but you kinda addressed that.
K$ gets called things like the poor man's Gaga, etc. all the time as they are both seen as 'crazy' or 'weird' or 'druggie' or even 'partying' (early Gaga with like Just Dance) pop stars. Also, new, since neither has been along for long. People love to compare. And with Kesha's label following the release of The Fame Monster, it just gives people (the sort to be on pop music forums) reason to compare and look for similarities.

I honestly paid no attention to Gaga's unicorn tattoo or the unicorn jacket until it was mentioned in this thread, which is why I originally thought everyone must have been referring to that scene in Paparazzi. I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that most people aren't aware of the Gaga/unicorn association, including Ke$ha herself.
You are correct in saying that unicorns aren't something that have been used heavily in pop music imagery, but the decision for Ke$ha to use them in her video isn't entirely unexpected considering the fact that unicorns have been enjoying ePopularity in silly online videos like "Charlie the Unicorn" or "Planet Unicorn" for several years. Those sort of videos are in line with Ke$ha's sense of humor and I'm inclined to think that she would be more inspired by either of those things. Unicorns have a life of their own amongst kids-who-live-online and were popular in that sense long before Gaga's usage of them.

I agree with this whole heartedly. But, what I'm trying to say is, since Ke$ha and GaGa are "pop music peers," then Ke$ha herself or at least her team should've been aware of GaGa's recent unicorn imagery to avoid any kind of comparisons like this one here. It's not like it was that important for Ke$ha to include unicorns in her video.........they should've just steered away from anything unicorn altogether, but they didn't. Saying that doesn't mean that I'm saying GaGa is the only one allowed to use them...but since it was so recent, they could've went a different direction.
You gaga stans are the most ****ing delusional bitches i have seen.
You think gaga owns everything, and that she is the ****ing creator of the world.
It's the same same **** as saying gaga copied Robot Unicorn Attack with her jacket.
NOW SIT DOWN WITH YOUR DELUSIONAL GARBAGE ASS ACCUSATIONS.
The fact that you think Gaga did everything first is just saddening.

That's my problem with it, I hope it makes sense.
You make sense, but I also think the point you're making is a bit silly. Certainly, I would push for Ke$ha to avoid doing things that are obviously perceived as being very Gaga, but even though Gaga has used the unicorn recently, I don't think enough hoopla was made about her doing so for Ke$ha, or most other people, to even be aware that Gaga has that tattoo or wore that jacket. Is Gaga's association with unicorns so strong that I think anyone should have to avoid using unicorns out of fear that they will come off as Gaga-wannabes? I don't really think so. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

That's fine. All I'm saying is if I worked for a pop artist like Ke$ha, as a part of her team I would think it should be a job to be well-aware of what her peers are doing in the industry to avoid any future problems like this one. In my opinion, somebody should've said "Hey, I know they're cool and all, but GaGa just used unicorns. Not saying she invented them, but we don't wanna give anyone the slightest inkling of similarity between you two."
Being aware of what the other artists in your current field of music are doing is common sense.

Thank you +1283750
I wasn't even aware of an association of Unicorns with Gaga. If there is one, as you said, it's definitely not strong enough to call Ke$ha a "Gaga wannabee".

I loved the video, very different from her. And she looked beautiful
