Madonna’s controversial “Express Yourself”/”Born This Way” mashup made its official debut on Thursday as she kicked off her “MDNA” tour in Israel.

Dressed as a marching band leader, the pop star started off by singing several verses of her 1989 hit, and then stopped for a brief dance routine before she segued into Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.”

Madge then continued going back and forth between the two songs before repeating the line “She’s not me.”

The remix, which first sparked controversy when rehearsal footage leaked earlier this week, is an interesting choice for Madonna who previously slammed “Born This Way” as a “redo” of “Express Yourself.”

    God this women is pathetic and petty. You would think a 50 something year old women would be above school yard behavior. I do agree with her though, Lady gaga is not her, thankfully Lady Gaga has more talent and a much bigger heart then Madonna has ever had. If we were to strip these women right back..give them some normal clothes..no back up dancers and no auto tune, Lady gaga would out sing Madonna any day.

  • Evalee

    Also be interesting to see if Madonna is lip syncing like she normally does or standing there and singing live like Lady gaga does.

  • Cruz

    Oh, I see the creatures have come out in defense of “their mother creature” Larry Gargoyle. You creatures are so fucking pathetic. It’s okay for Larry to blatantly rip-off Madge, but if Madge does something, she’s acting like a bitch? Go back to your suicide spree, I haven’t heard of any of you killing yourselves recently.

  • Nick

    Agree she is pathetic

  • Evalee

    You should consider therapy, you sound troubled.

  • Peaceoutalyssa

    She is very immature she should just retire already!!! Get off the road grandma!!

  • Seth

    STFU little monsters. Madonna is the most important female artist to ever walk this planet and all you can do is criticize her age? Give me a break, GaGa ripped off one of Madge’s most iconic songs (song structure, chord profession etc) and Madonna is being petty for calling her out? How many times has GaGa blatantly lied about BTW (calling comparisons retarded, saying it was written with Whitney in mind as she dressed as Blonde Ambition Madonna, saying she had Madge’s Blessing) yet Madge has no right to be annoyed? She’s prob annoyed bc you idiots constantly defend everything GaGa does without admitting Madonna did it first and better. We’ll see if GaGa has a career in 10 more years let alone breaking records in another 25

  • Vortextempest

    Preach it baby cause its all true. Most ironic of all is gaga fans who crucified Christina Aguilera for supposedly copying gaga all the while gaga was CLEARLY ripping off Madonna. And if we want to talk about who can sing better, i can throw the same argument Gaga fans throw at Madonna with Christina Aguilera, now what?

  • Luca

    Personally I love Christiana Aguilera and Gaga just as much as each other and I have never really thought they were alike at all. Now, Christina Aguilera’s last album was not my cup of tea, as I preferred her earlier style however I also liked Lady gaga’s first album better then her last as well. But you don’t see Lady gaga or Christina taking shots at other artists because they feel someone stole their style. Madonna is the queen at taking inspiration from other people, not just with her music but her look as well, Marilyn Monroe anyone. Madonna is obviously feeling a little old and outdated and in fear of being forgotten or she would have taken Gaga’s song in her stride and felt honored that Gaga clearly looks up to her .. but no.. she has to be a bitch about it. It is pathetic..it makes her look like an ungrateful bitch with such low self esteem she has to try and create conflict where it does not exist.

    I feel sorry for her kids if they have seen her in the cheerleading outfit… Seeing my mother in that would scar me for life.

    Madonna , please be yourself. This is not a good behaviour for a queen . Bullying for losers.

  • Salll

    why are people writing lines from the story as if it were a comment?

  • Tina

    Come on, people. Gaga obviously lifted Madonna’s song. Madonna has “responded” sort of. I think it’s kind of funny how Gaga claimed that Madge gave her blessing when the song first came out and it was OBVIOUS to everyone that she ripped her off.

    Just so you know, I haven’t listed to Madonna since I was in high school, nor do I care about Gaga. They’re both derivative and uninspired cliches at this point.

    They aren’t people they are spam bots if you click on their name (which I don’t suggest) you get phished

    This is awesome!!! I’m making it my life’s work to attend the MDNA tour!!

  • Bcournoyer

    I love it. She responded in a fun way that will probably boost sales for both herself and gaga

  • Guest

    She not pathetic for the mash up. The mash up is hilariously b*tchy. That’s a real diva move.
    Shes almost 60 but she has more energy than Britney spears.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KFRJO4GJDUXAHLUL77FRWBRNB4 coach

    I find this all very sad. She was my idol but lately I’ve fallen out of love with Madge.

  • Mimiblair

    ” She’s Not Me “, that should be, “You’re Not She “, Madonna is too old for the pettiness, she had her day in the spot light, now it’s driving her crazy that the spot light has shifted to Lady GaGa. Madonna says ” Born This Way ” is a redo of ” Express Yourself “, I say ” Express Yourself ” is a redo of The Staple Singer’s ” Respect Yourself “, the pot shouldn’t call the kettle black. Madonna you were the it girl in your day. Why is it so hard for people to accept old age, it could be great if you would just let go, let go Madonna.

  • Jennifer

    One look at any of the candid photos in the tabloids says Madonna hasn’t been aging gracefully. Lots of botox, lots of surgery, but no amount of work is going to hide the chicken neck, the bat wings and what happens to the skin on the hands, etc. You are not 20-something any longer, Madge, and haven’t been for a very long time. Time to start acting your age. You look ridiculous prancing around like a teenager in those costumes.

    That’s not to say she doesn’t look good for a 53 yr old, but she’s still 53! The saggy granny pants butt waggle in the vid was an omg moment and not in a good way, jmho. My grandma is almost the same age and looks great. She can still fit into her high school cheer leading costume. Does anyone want to see her prancing around in it at local football games? NOOOO!!!!

    People are still going to see her concerts and buy her albums for a good while yet, in the same way they buy tickets/records for any nostolgia act, but this lady needs to get over it and start acting more like a gracious person to up and coming artists. Her attitude toward Lady GaGa, in particular, who has said she always admired Madonna, makes her look small, mean-spirited and graceless.

  • Jennifer

    Embarrassing.

  • BeRad86

    *Points at Lady GaGa and LAUGHS*

    This is toooo funny!!! L! U! V! Madonna!! :))

  • Keatie

    LOVE MADONNA,LOVE GAGA….They are brilliant in music and in BUSINESS. Their teams work together to make them very wealthy.
    Really people get with the program! BTW we should all hope in to be in Madonna’s shape at 53.

  • Cjsolis27

    You need a psychiatrist. It’s stereotypical to say that Gaga fans are the only ones who commit suicide. I swear the only thing worse than an over obsessive little monster is an over obsessive Madge stan. YOU guys are the real bullies.

  • Cjsolis27

    “Some people would like for me to die…BUT IM NOT GOING ANYWHEREEEE.” P:

  • Tracey86

    I would take Madonna’s thighs over anyone of her dancer’s there.

  • Kady2034

    Lady GaGa disagrees with you and your likes…Wholeheartly she in her own words…calls Madonna an Iconic Legendary woman..she says she connects with her and loves her input on her own shows…which when Lady Gaga has invited her to come watch ..Surprise! Madonna comes ands mentors her.
    These two are business woman and talented…they are extremely savvy and will work the circuit and make the fans believe whatever to keep making their Money.
    Gaga loves “The Queen”..her words.
    Interviews on YouTube under Lady GaGa talks Madonna….take a listen.
    Madonna is her inspiration and she has said ,she herself could never hope to be as Iconic as Madonna.

  • Kady2034

    Lady Gaga disagrees with you..please watch her interviews on YouTube. Lady GaGa talks Madonna.
    She Adores Madonna..her words.

  • VIEQUES

    let’s face it, MADONNA is doing her CLONE a FAVOR LOL

  • DevinMatthews

    There is surgery for chicken neck and bat wings arms . Madonnas arms and neck are in great condition. especially her arms “RIPPED”. You are as blind as a BAT.

  • http://twitter.com/LilMonsterxoxox ✞Saychelle✞

    VOMIT! Really, people are just mad that she is the Queen, accept it. Queen of Pop=Lady Gaga King of Pop=Jo Calderone. But seriously Madonna called Lady Gaga Reductive? She has photos copying 2010 version of GAGA in Alejandro. Dont forget she copied Debbie Harry from blondie. Lady Gaga is herself and just because she was a blonde pop singer doesnt mean she copied Madonna. At least Gaga gives credit to her, Madonna is just jealous and keeps dissing her own fan. Pathetic.
