It's funny when I think I'm the youngest member on ATRL.
I'm pretty much a different generation then most on here. Born in the 80's, I never had internet (outside of school) until I was 17, and this place is like high school all over again. Soo much drama.
"Born This Way" owes an obvious debt to a pair of Madonna hits: 1989's "Express Yourself" and 1990's "Vogue." Previous Gaga hits have also echoed Madonna. "Alejandro" had the Latin ballad vibe of 1987's "La Isla Bonita." Madonna should take it as a compliment. Madonna was a complete original. Nobody ever accused her of copping someone else's sound or sensibility.
Now this week...
Quote:
Madonna's "Express Yourself," to which "Born This Way" bears more than a passing resemblance, didn't quite made #1. It spent two weeks at #2 in July 1989 (when Gaga was three years old).
