STFU Madonna.

Move on already.

I’m not a Gaga fan, but Madonna’s big green monster is on full display. Sad old woman…

Oh please. Put your boob away and move on.

desperate old hag with an ego like a bag of dicks, lol…

Lady Gaga copied everything from Madonna. I don’t particularly like either of them, but I side with Madonna on this one, because I value originality.

Madonna has the nerve to talk about Lady Gaga swiping her song? Isn’t Madonna the one who “BORROWED” heavily from Marilyn Monroe (e.g. Material Girl) and the NYC drag queens (e.g. Vogue). Madonna, you can’t place a demand on someone that you haven’t met yourself!

Madonna needs to understand that she´s not young anymore. She can call herself MDNA but that doesn´t make her 22 or able to write songs for that agegroup. You got to be 22 to write songs about it. She just posing (as always) and thinking just because she´s got a young lover and using young musicians that she “hip” to the situation.
I think she was really great and up there but that was decades ago. She hasn´t done a great album since Ray of Light.
If she did a mature album maybe she´ll be intresting again.

this is nonsense

This must have run through Madonna’s head.
“Hmm, nobody seems to care anymore with the Swastikas on world leaders heads, nobody is in an uproar over me exposing my body…..I did get press from that Gaga thing. By George that’s what I’ll do again! I’ll start a fuss over the similarities of our songs!! I’m brilliant…now where is my prune juice?”

Madonna lives off today’s artist to stay relevant. She should be dead already. She’s a bitch and will always be a bitch. At least Gaga is mature, and Madonna act’s as if she isn’t her age. Her daughter is more mature than her, especially with her latest comment on the whole Gaga Vs. Madonna feud.

The real shock is that it took Madonna this long to make comments about it.

When did Gaga claim to be original?

Madonna (maddog) hasn’t done a “mature” album because usually that reveals if you have a great singing voice. maddog doesn’t have that, so all she does is do the same stuff over and over. Example of versatility would be Lady GaGa singing with Tony Bennett. Lady GaGa has the talent to do pretty much any kind of album.

I think you can find better ones…

No, she’s just better at causing controversy than gaga will ever be. Gaga chose the wrong one to copy…

said someone who is likely tone deaf, has zero critical listening skills. Let’s put it this way. There is a reason that people continually keep getting reminded of a 30 year old Madonna song when Gaga’s song is played. You know what that reason is? It’s because in some form or another, Gaga copied her. Get over it. Also I don’t think Madonna is as interested in perusing monetary rewards in court as she is in sending Gaga the message that it’s time for her to become a UNIQUE artist and move on with her career. I just love how most Gaga fans, who are mostly young kinds (and that’s why they didn’t catch the fact that she was copying Madonna), jump to defend gaga, even though had someone copied gaga as profusely as gaga did madonna, they would ALSO defend gaga. Wow that was a tongue twister… lol.

@lovecritters. SORRY, but it’s one thing to copy someone’s clothing style on purpose for ONE video as Madonna did. (CLOTHING), but it’s another thing to try to be a sound a like and sing like Madonna. Gaga is a copy cat, and you are a kid. If you accept it, maybe you will grow up faster. I know you must be a young gaga fan, either that or a fool. Either way, if you want to talk about HOW original someone was, Gaga wasn’t one tenth as original as Madonna was and she wrote all her own songs. Many of which invented new styles, never before heard. And now in 2012, Gaga uses those styles.

@Hypocratia, You need to understand that being an original artist has nothing to do with being young or old. Gaga, isn’t that young either, and neither is she original. But sounds like what you are saying is, ‘HEY Madonna, you’re too old to make music, so now we can let Gaga off the hook for not being original. It’s Gaga’s turn to take your role”. THAT IS BULL! There is no such thing as “someone’s turn”. Gaga copied her style plain and simple. Also if what you say is really true and it’s not Madonna’s time, but it is Gaga’s time, then it should be time for Gaga to be an ORIGINAL artist. Not a copy cat, or someone who sings like Madonna. Since Madonna’s time is over, it should be time for Gaga to stop sounding like her too.

@iLindsay Sage, it hasn’t occured to you yet that her comment was a joke, and THAT’s why it took her so long to make it. Because she never had an agenda to begin with. But you’re right. Now that Madonna’s new songs are out, Gaga’s producers have Madonna’s new songs to twist into something new. I’m sure Gaga’s next hit will probably sound a lot like “Give me all your lovin”, and a 15 year old girl, just like you will come along and try to defend her with delusional fantasies about how Madonna has no hit songs and isn’t relevent. Let’s recap. Madonna got famous in 1983, nearly 30 years ago and she’s still famous. Not due to gaga, sorry little girl. She was also famous 25 years post lucky star BEFORE Gaga was known. So there’s a high likelyhood she will still be famous in 5 more years or for 35 years. However there is no gaurantee Gaga will be as her career is only 4 or 5 years old. Maybe she will, maybe she won’t. But Madonna has proven her self with a 30+ year career. Time to grow up? I think so Lindsay. But then again, all smart mouthed kids think they know it all until they do actually grow up. Good luck on that. Because if you can’t see it from both directions, you won’t be able to see how gaga could be relevent 5 years from now, as by then, she will no longer be the current thing, and the new generation will be 5 years younger than you…. figure it out.

Where’s your sense of humor? That’s our Madge being funny. When I first read it I laughed out loud, enough for people to turn and look at me. I’m 56 years old and I love them both. Trust me, they are both smart business women and they know what makes the $$$. I bet in real life they like each other. Heck, they were both play fighting on SNL a year or two ago. I fell off the couch when Madonna asked Gaga, ‘What the hell is a disco stick?

@gagaisaman Sheesh, wtf is your problem? Why do you hate Lady Gaga so damn much? If it’s just because of this, that’s a pretty lame excuse. Okay, maybe a chord or two sounds the same, but if you’re going to point out that similarity, you can do it in a million other songs. Also, it it’s a copy, how come it did better on the charts?? I personally think Lady Gaga is great. She can play multiple instruments, she can do country, rock, pop, opera, etc, and SHE writes all of her songs. And did any of her other hit songs from born this way (Hair, Yoü and I, Edge of Glory, Judas, Marry the Night) have any similarities to other songs? No, because she is original. And I don’t mean to bag on Madonna, because I do like her music, but come on-Madonna is famous for copying other peoples’ work. But enough with this arguing. Both artists have/are revolution(ized/izing) music, and both put out some pretty damn good music. But I’m guessing you’re ignorant and are just gonna say Gaga sucks and Madonna is great.

It’s comical that there seem to be so many Madonna fans that dismiss the intelligence of someone simply because they are a GaGa fan…yet, you can’t seem to put together a coherent sentence. Though, I wouldn’t expect an intelligent response from someone with the screen name “Gagaisaman”…quite mature. On the contrary, Madonna’s album has taken massive amounts of negativity from critics, and if it weren’t for her constant need to issue statements that are digs at GaGa, she wouldn’t be in the press nearly as often as she has been. The whole reductive comment incident stirred up a lot of publicity for Madonna, and she has continued to publicly attack GaGa. And you want to hear the funny part? The one that has handled the situation maturely is GaGa, who is 27 years Madonna’s senior. Isn’t age supposed to bring maturity? I guess not in Madonna’s case.

This is how GaGa has responded and handled the situation”
“It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn’t make me feel good at all,” said Gaga in concert. “I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music. Because that’s really all I care about, is the music.”

A very mature and well articulated response from someone so young, perhaps Madge should take notes.

Actually, Express Yourself did better than Born this Way. EY = US – Gold Certified, UK – Silver Certifed, BTW – nothing. Also, Express Yourself was Madonna’s second single not her first off the album. A fair comparison would be Like a Prayer to Born this Way and do you really want to have that comparison made? Like a Prayer – US Platinum + no.1. everywhere!

So I think it is such a shame that Madonna and Lady Gaga fans are in this stupid war with each other. I am a Madonna fan and always will be because she was my generations hero. Madonna paved the way for this generations Lady Gaga’s and Lady Gaga would even admit that. Madonna was phenomenal in breaking new ground and pushing against societal values. That is why she is the most successful female artist of all time, has sold the most records, and has the biggest tour of all time. But, Lady Gaga finds herself in an unenviable position that she now needs to be original in the giant shadow that is Madonna, and as long as she wants to create dance music she always will be and in a way that sucks. I think despite this Lady Gaga has had great success and has carved out her own niche and style. I think she has a high fashion style. Yes she has copied Madonna, but it’s hard not too since Madonna has already done nearly everything. So Lady Gaga does it with her own sense of style and twist and I think that is still credible, stylish and cool in it’s own right. She has also pushed the boundaries and is a good voice for this generation. I have no doubt, and I hope, she will go on and have a successful career because she is great. It is completely disrespectful, and a bold faced lie, for Gaga fans to abuse Madonna and claim that she is not relevant or original, or that Gaga hasn’t been heavily influenced by her, as it is annoying for the Gaga fans to constantly be reminded that what Gaga is doing is also unoriginal and a copy cat version. Both stars are about the same thing – dance music, pushing boundaries, been at the cutting edge of trends, and we should embrace them both since they both do what we love.

You’re right, people act like because one song is similar and because they’ve been compared in the past that we should forget all the drive that Gaga has put into her work. When people make art it’s almost impossible not to be similar to the people you listened to growing up. I personally would be a lot like Lady Gaga if I were to choose a career in music.

At first it seemed like just jokes but now it seems like she really has it out for Lady Gaga.

Just because she sings similarly and is different and ground breaking, that means she’s a copy cat? That, my friend, is truly BULL.
