Or GaGas cover Born this way :

[Josy]

Madonna's

[Niall]

Born This Way obv.

[Ramsay]

Deluded Gaga fans are the worst

[Niall]

I'm not deluded omg. :bored:

[Josy]

Born This Way obv.

It's only "obv" to gaga fans.

[Niamh.]

I'm not deluded omg. :bored:

you can't deny that it's a blatant rip off though

[Josy]

Deluded Gaga fans are the worst

They can't help it Karl.........they were born that way :joker:

[Jordan.]

I don't think they sound the same, Madonna's song is far worse.

[Niamh.]

Yeah I could say that about Madonna fans picking Express Yourself. :/

I'm not saying I dislike Express Yourself anyway - its a decent song - I just think BTW is miles better. :D

Umm not a rip off, maybe influenced but no way is it a rip off. If you can't hear that they both have very distinct sounds then you be needing hearing aids. :tongue:

I'm neither a Madonna fan nor a GaGa fan so I'm being completely objective, I only heard GaGas one for the first time a few minutes ago and was completely gob smacked by how similar they are

I'm not a Madonna fan either, I just prefer Express Yourself to BTW.

Fair enough I can only just hear the similarities, they aren't blatant to me - someone had to point it out that the songs could be seen as similar. Anyways to call it a rip off is another thing altogether. The song maybe influenced by Express Yourself but it is in no way a rip off. :/

[Locke.]

Pretty much the same song :bored:

[GiRTh]

First time I've heard that Gaga song. Has she run out of ideas already?

Well, I hadn't heard anything about the song but when it came on the radio I thought it was Express Yourself and then I couldn't tell and then I realised it was GaGa. Then Smithy said other people had said it so I typed the two song names into google and turns out people think it so much they've made mash ups of the songs.

I don't hate GaGa, when did I ever say that?

Whenever we brought her up in conversation on the past :conf2:

Yes but that doesn't mean everyone thinks that. I don't really listen to Madonna and I've only heard Express Yourself once or twice so I didn't connect BTW to it immediately until someone pointed it out to me. Even then I couldn't hear anything strikingly similar, only maybe the way Gaga sang a few of the words.

But if you think it sounds similar then k.

[Iceman]

The original is far better than BTW

[Niamh.]

Whenever we brought her up in conversation on the past :conf2:

I never said I hated her, show me one quote where I said that

[Smithy]

-is currently going through the WE LOVE PANDA'S chat log-

If it's not there you'll have said it on cam on TC probably

[Smithy]

Btw, Madonna obv doesn't think it's a rip off as she went to her show last night @ MSG

[GiRTh]

Btw, Madonna obv doesn't think it's a rip off as she went to her show last night @ MSGMadonna shows support for the most popular female act ATM is nothing new. Next she'll be snogging her on some award show. You know, like she did with Britney and Xtina.

[Smithy]

she was probably flattered, that or GaGa slipped her a fifty:joker:
nope, I bet the old bag just wanted some attention because it was being filmes :bored:
Oh God, you better show me it first:nono:

I rubbed out your last name coz I'm nice, but I want an apology :nono:

[Niamh.]

well, I was quite obviously joking as you said GaGa was better than my daughter, and if you believe that then you think I hate you too!!

[Zippy]

Btw, Madonna obv doesn't think it's a rip off as she went to her show last night @ MSG

:crazy:

Or Madonna knows its a rip off(which it obviously is) but just doesn't give a ******. After all, she's had tons and tons of wannabes over the past 25 years so another one doesn't make much difference.

:rolleyes: She also emailed her sending her support about it so obv not

[Jords]

Madonna.

Personally I dont think they sound THAT similar..

[Zippy]

:rolleyes: She also emailed her sending her support about it so obv not

her "people" emailed her support.

and that does not equate to Madonna not thinking BTW is a rip off. Again, she probably just doesn't give a ******. Actually, she's probably flattered so her support makes sense.

the proof is there for all to hear so it doesn't even matter what Madonna says, frankly.

Well tbh you have no proof that she thinks its a rip off, everything that has been said by her already is the opposite actually soooo hush.

[Smithy]

Nor does it matter what you say

Gaga herself further addressed the comparisons on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, explaining that she "got an e-mail from [Madonna's] people and her sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single.” Gaga then proclaimed, “...if the Queen says it shall be, then it shall be.”[32] CNN later reported that Madonna's representative was "not aware that Madonna sent Gaga an e-mail

Hmmm.. :spin:

Oh here comes Smithy's new little fawning sidekick...

I don't need proof this isn't Judge Judy. Madonna hasn't said anything and she would hardly come out and say it's a rip off anyways! Thats not her style. She's never been bothered by female artists copying her and takes it as a compliment.

So why are you acting the ass and making an issue out of it then? :rolleyes:

[Zippy]

I think youre clearly the one turning into an ass since joining the Gaga sect. I remember when you were actually likeable. Now you are rude and twatty to members. Suddenly I get why Stacey and Scott etc have switched on you.

Ive always been rude. Consistent.

the issue is not what Madonna thinks or whether she even cares. The issue is that the song sounds A LOT like one of her songs. Millions of people are saying it around the world in case you haven't noticed! You think theyre all wrong?

Lady GaGa's is better, I don't even think it sounds similar at all to that Madonna song :s

Suddenly I get why Stacey and Scott etc have switched on you.


LOL. :worship:

[Callum]

Madonna - Express Yourself because it's such a classic. I do like Born This Way though.

Um no not really. You don't even know what has happened between me and Stacey, so don't bring that up.

And no I've said I understand why people may think they sound similar I just don't think they sound all that similar myself.

[Zippy]

Um no not really. You don't even know what has happened between me and Stacey, so don't bring that up.



Ill bring it up coz its relevant to my point

and if I even cared I could simply PM her to ask. Oddly enough, I dont give a fck about the details.

Never realised how similar the two songs are. Prefer Madonnas, actually Madonna's wins hands down, Gaga's new song is rubbish!

[Shaun]

Madonna's = iconic.

[Zippy]

Madonna's = iconic.

Gaga's = chronic

catatonic :p

[reece(:]

the original is much superior, gaga slaughtered it
