I genuinely hate stuff like this.
Born This Way sounds similar to Express Yourself but that doesn't make it a rip off.
Alejandro is considered by lame haters to be a rip off of La Isla Bonita because of its spanish theme but at the end of the day thats the vaguest and ****ing dumbest reach ever. If anything it sounds like Ace of Base but thats the ****ing point!
And im so done with Gaga fans accepting and agreeing with the reaches because they get it drilled in their heads so much theyre essentially bullied into berating her originality or what they eventually get forced to believe is her lack thereof.
Shes not the first pop artist to be slammed for "ripping people off", Madonna has had actual plagiarism lawsuits filed against her and lost numerous times over the course of her career, but she might be the first to have said accusations actually affect her career this substantially.
Its complete ********.
