Madonna has taken a cheeky swipe at Lady GaGa in rehearsals for her MDNA tour, singing the lyrics to GaGa's Born This Way as she performs her own Express Yourself.
The playful dig follows claims that GaGa's song sounded suspiciously similar to Madge's pop classic, and footage of the Queen of Pop's rehearsal in Israel have surfaced on YouTube.
After singing the lyrics to Born This Way, Madonna then shifts into She's Not Me from her 2008 album Hard Candy. Is she planning on sending a none-too-subtle message to fans in her actual concerts?
When quizzed about the similarities between the tracks before GaGa said comparisons were "retarded" (before apologising for using that word).
This isn't the first time Madonna has referenced the similarities between the two songs, calling them ''interesting''.
She previously said: ''I thought, 'What a wonderful way to redo my song'. I mean, I recognised the chord changes. I thought it was... interesting.''
Other musicians have also weighed in on the debate with Noel Gallagher calling Gaga - who is currently on her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour - ''Madonna-lite''.
He said: ''I don't give a f***ing monkey's about Lady Gaga. It's all about the meat suit and the controversy. Is it about music? Really? She's got the publicity side sorted, but where's the f***ing music?
''Her album gets played a lot around my house by my daughter and it's Madonna-lite. Madonna was hardcore. She took it to the edge musically as well as everything else.
''Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga? No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos. But they're not going to have any decent f***ing music to play are they?''
Madonna is reportedly being sought to appear on The Voice in the UK.
Noel Gallagher only hates her because Liam loves her.
Quote:
"She's the only one out there who's got balls. I like her. She can play instruments. She can sing. She can dance. She's weird. She's shocking people. I like her. I like the Gaga, man."
Why are people posting " " and " " and acting surprised that the press is picking up on this? This is the 400th time Madonna has mentioned Lady Gaga this era. And every time they've reported it.
