Madonna Performs Controversial “Express Yourself”/“Born This Way” Mashup (VIDEO)

A little more than a year ago, there was controversy when Lady Gaga released “Born This Way,” which some felt was a ripoff of Madonna’s “Express Yourself.”

And even though Gaga told Jay Leno on the “Tonight Show” in 2011 that Madonna sent her “love and complete support,” earlier this year the Material Girl seemed to have an issue with “Born This Way.”

Madonna told Newsweek that when she first heard the song, she felt is was a “redo” of “Express Yourself,” and “thought it was… interesting.”

Apparently, Madonna now thinks “Born This Way” is interesting enough to incorporate into her shows because video has emerged of her weaving the Gaga anthem into “Express Yourself” while rehearsing in Israel a few days ahead of her concert in Tel Aviv on May 31.

    I used to love Madonna when I was a teenager…but really?! So the melody sounds similar to Lady GaGa’s song..so what? Lady GaGa has said that Madonna was a big influence on her when she was a kid. Madonna should look at as a compliment. It is not identical and if it were then you better believe that Madonna’s attorneys would be after GaGa for damages already…they have not done that because it is not the same..it is just similar. I think it’s jealousy on Madonna’s part that someone else is on top right now and she is killing herself trying to get noticed by a whole new generation of fans…maybe they will notice her if she does something with those gnarled hands and crows feet.

    I love this. Let’s not forget that Lady Gaga called Madonna “retarded,”!
    and other things. Her “monsters” also created a website dedicated to bashing Madonna. Lady Gaga is so reductive and over with

  • Vortextempest

    HA! I love it!!! This is classic, go Madonna!!

  • Googlymoogly

    So Madonna ‘dismisses’ Lady Gaga’s song, yet she is perfectly happy to sing it live. Hmm.

  • CDN

    She did not call Madonna retarded, get your facts straight.

    Can’t wait to see Madonna in Chicago!

    Madonna is such a self obsessed narcissus. She is the last person in the world who should take someone else inspirations to heart considering she is the queen at “borrowing” other artists styles and looks. Anyone interested in seeing the enormous amount of people Madonna has ripped off should simply do a Google search for it, what you find will probably surprise you. I have never been a Madonna fan, I personally think she is a has been 50 year old women who is desperately trying to hold onto fame and her looks. Lady Gaga when stripped back of all the on stage antics and the silly costumes really does have an amazing voice that absolutely outshines any vocal talent that Madonna has.

  • Vortextempest

    shes proving a point sweetie, went right over your dumb head though

    Jae, I think your response is totally overblown. Madonna remains relevant; her last tour (Sticky & Sweet) was the highest grossing tour in history. Gaga has an amazing voice. I particularly loved her duet with Tony Bennett. I have no ax to grind with her. It’s not about who’s better. Madonna has a right to perform how she wishes. I do feel Madonna is more charismatic and a better song writer than Gaga. Gaga does have an amazing voice; her songs, however, seem to be the same though. But, that’s my opinion.

  • Me

    She said the accusation she was copying Madonna was retarded.

  • Peaceoutalyssa

    Madonna is so stupid!!!!

  • Nick

    The only point she is proving is how desperate and tactless she is.
    Move on if you’re so above it, bitch.

  • The Truth

    Wow ummmm interesting….Madonna has been doing quite a bit this era in regards to other artists. I’ll leave it at that for now.

  • Googlymoogly

    Mmmhmm. If it bugged her that much then she would have just ignored it.

    I giggle at you guys who call others names on the internet. I’m so thrilled you took the time out to call me dumb.

  • xoxox

    well, i was not surprise because most of gaga’s songs are repetitive. all her acts are focused on her costume. she could be a good designer. she chose a wrong job…

  • Jae

    Come on, Madonna still relevant? Have you looked at her recently? listened to her auto tuned music? Back in the day Madonna actually sung… back then she actually showed her talent. Now all she does is look pathetic. She would be more relevant if she accepted that she isn’t 20 years old anymore and made music that was worth making. She could still be singing to her old audience if put some substance behind her work. A 50 year old women should have much more to say then the one sentence lyrics she repeats over the top of a pop/techno beat. She needs to hang up the leotard but on some clothes and get back to basics….But that’s my opinion.

  • Nick

    Have you heard her sing live? Maybe GaGa shouldn’t be a WRITER of music, but its Madonna that has chosen the wrong job

  • Morgancorinthos1

    Wll said…my point exactly.

  • Morgancorinthos1

    I don’t know if you were around when Madonna was reigning pop princess in the 80′s…but I was. She was the queen of focusing her act around her costume. Perhaps she influenced Gaga in this respect as well. Material Girl=Marilyn Monroe get-up; Like a Virgin=virginal bride; she wore a damn gold tooth for shock effect during the 90′s and had pointed cones on her boobs….Gaga has worn meat and come out of a stupid egg….I think there are definite signs of influence here. Thing is..when you take away all of the gimmick and make-up, Gaga can really sing and write music. Madonna can sing, but evidently even she feels she can’t make it today on her own merit…she has to be bitchy and catty and take her swipe at someone else who has her share of limelight right now in order to get some more notice….Deny it or not, but a sign of a desperate has-been..

    Gossip Cop fails to report that after the mash-up Madonna then performed “She’s Not Me”. Madonna has never come across as subtle and it’s obvious this was a direct hit at Lady GaGa. She has been leeching onto younger entertainers for years and reinvents herself to keep up with the popular sounds/trends to remain relevant. She’s not stupid. She knows she’s doing it and knows the sheep will follow because it’s worked thus far.
    To me, her dig at GaGa is a clear reflection that she is feeling insecure about the attention GaGa is receiving for her music and style making Madonna sort of an afterthought.
    I’m not a fan of GaGa (personally I feel she has ripped off Roisin Murphy) nor Madonna. But Madonna IS and will always be the Queen of Pop. She should embrace it and let others have their moment.

    Some do it gracefully and others not so much.

    Remember, the tighter you try to hold onto youth the more veiny and muscular your arms become.

  • Anonymous

    Madonna copied liberally from Debbie Harry in BLONDIE (remember her, sports fans?) and other New York club acts. She is the true thief and she stepped on any one she could to get where she is today. She is phony, full of herself and the biggest narcissist out there in the world. And she can’t sing or write music. Team GAGA! Team BLONDIE!

    ye but where is debbie harry now? she praises Madonna.. do your research!..

  • Mausy

    50 years old, is no age this days. Some years ago, yes, it was, but your remarks about the Lady is not fair at all.

  • Tyree

    How many times has someone taken someone else’s song and made it their own?! *Gasp!* Too many times to count so when it comes to this so what if Lady Gaga’s song sounds a bit like Madonna’s. Different singers, different voices, different range of talent. Pick which singer you like the most and just stick to with them. I’ll admit I like Lady Gaga better, but everyone has different taste in music. I never really could get into Madonna no matter how much I tried. I’m a Little Monster all the way. :)

  • http://twitter.com/m3tt3m mette marie nielsen

    i don’t really know why i’m even hear i don’t like madonna or lady gaga…

  • Mdkwlem

    Madonna is a old bag, her time was over due years ago and her recent “album” was totally crap. Madonna is a wanna be gaga and will always remain a fail.

  • Niwjdnnd

    Madonna is old, move with the times far out. Madonna looks so old and cant sing live for shit. Unlike gaga whos much better live.

  • j.caderone

    Childish comment; and not worth answering.

  • keithv1973

    I find it funny that so many say madonna is self absorbed yet… the one who really is self absorbed is gaga.

  • carlos vaquerano

    Everyone takes these articles so seriously, relax everyone, Madonna and Lady GG are doing just fine, stop the name calling and criticizing their apperance, remember they are human just like you and I.
