Madonna move THE **** ON!

I can't believe she's still obsessed with Gaga in 2015

Does she think she invented that chord progression? There are tons and tons of songs out there that sound FAR more similar than BTW and Express Yourself do.

Um, not really. BTW sounds exactly like EY. It's not just chord progression,

I've never heard a strong similar sound in Express & BTW but whatever!!!

She's in and you're out. End of story.

d no

Madonna will never fade, she's a legend. Here's to hoping Gaga will be here in 30 years.

Well, I do think of myself as a queen, but I don't think I'm the only queen. There's room for other queens. We reign over different kingdoms.

Lady Gaga told Howard Stern that there's a perception out there that she was going for your crown. "I don't want her ****ing throne," she said.

I don't think she wants my crown, either. We live in a world where people like to pit women against each other. And this is why I love the idea of embracing other females who are doing what I'm doing. It's important for us to support each other. The only time I ever criticized Lady Gaga was when I felt like she blatantly ripped off one of my songs. It's got nothing to do with 'she's taking my crown' or 'she's in some space of mine.' She has her thing. I do think she's a very talented singer and songwriter. It was just one issue. And everybody's obviously run with it and turned into a huge feud, which I think is really boring, quite frankly. And you know what? I don't care anymore. Here's the thing: One day everyone's going to just shut up about it. You'll see! I have a plan.



YAAAAAAS. M&G ARE COMING. COLLAB OF ALL COLLABS

Can't WAITTTTT

The flamebait title though

She was asked the question, said the "feud" was one isolated incident that was blown up by the media, and ended up praising her in the end so I don't know why people are mad.

The only issue here is that "Express Yourself" was already a retread of another song, so...

Which song?

[Delilah.]

i swear y'all don't even read the damn sentence

she literally praised her, and you are delusional if you don't hear the similarities

[Aegean]

And it begins again..

Not saying it's a bad thing, but the ki is too much.

WHO is denying that Gaga is inspired by Madonna and her legacy?

Sweety, this isn't 2008. She made those "madonna as inspiration" statements in the beginning of her career.

She's over that and has carved her own path, and a very successful one at that.

This is 2015. Get with the times. Don't get left behind.

[YourMadGesty]

I agree with everything except for the second half of the sentence

[pxxxtrick]

ew @ the monsters in here trolling about how M's obsessed with Gaga, she was asked a question and she answered it professionally.

Comments like these

If they sounded exactly the same the mess/backlash would've been 10 times bigger. They just have a similar chord progression and a few synths in common.

[Citrus]

I've personally never heard the similarities myself, but to each his own. BTW is still the better song.

[Auburn]

Oop.

[Shamser]

Stop with this "chord progression" thing.You probably don't even know what it is.
Go to BTW wiki page and there're near 30 mentions of Madonna.Every critic thought BTW ripped off EY.

why don't y'all actually read and see this

she wasn't being "shady"

[Skywalker]

This thread should probably be renamed something differently though.

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

Why the Monsters are running here and trying to dismiss her or drag her, I don't understand. The issue about BTW/EY is real, but it's old. There's no point in denying it.

And there's certainly no point in dragging her as if she's trying to start a feud with this, especially when she said this:

It's got nothing to do with 'she's taking my crown' or 'she's in some space of mine.' She has her thing. I do think she's a very talented singer and songwriter. It was just one issue.

It looks better with the full quote tbh. I still don't know why she feels that Gaga "blatantly ripped off her song", its not like she sat there and deliberately wrote a song to sound like Express Yourself. They have the same chord progression, but so do so many other songs. The one used in EY and BTW is just not as commonly used. Madonna should realize that sometimes songs sound similar, some of hers sound very similar to other songs out there.
