Lady Gaga Finally Responds to Madonna’s Backhanded Compliments

“… Some people feel like they have to make a mockery of your work … That doesn’t make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I’m not a good human being … I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music. I don’t want to be all shady and c-nty. Because that’s really all I care about, is the music … things are really different than they were 25 years ago, and that’s what makes ‘Born This Way’ so relevant for me. We’re socially in a different place and it’s OK, we don’t have to all slice and hate each other anymore.”

Oh now. Come on. Do not sit there and tell me that this isn’t a thinly-veiled jab at Madonna and all of her comments about how Lady Gaga’s unoriginal and a copycat and all that? Because, duh, it is. “Make a mockery” of one’s work? Madonna’s been all over that in comparing ‘Born This Way’ to whatever song it’s supposed to resemble. “Shady and c-nty”? Well. That’s, like, Madonna’s address. As for “things” being “different than they were 25 years ago,” do I even really need to spell that one out for you? Madonna’s OVER. And everyone seems to know it but her. I’m no Lady Gaga fan, and I’m not going to launch another four-hundred-word tirade about how Madonna’s OVER, because it’s all been said.

Way to go, Lady G.

  • Whatever song it’s supposed to resemble? Seriously?
    If you sing the lyrics to Express Yourself, they fit exactly in the music of Born This Way. Do you have sand in your ears, is that the problem? :)

  • ‘pot calling the kettle black’ since madonna has been a huge biter over the years. whatever was hot at the time, she did a version of it. her bjork phase comes to mind
