Bad Monster Kid 13,140 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think this is a fair question. IMO her "reductive" comment and mashup on tour overshadowed what should have been a big moment for the LGBTQ community and for Gaga herself. I don't think people fully understand that she risked her career by putting out an album/song empowering the gay community WHILE at the absolute peak of her career. Do you guys think she tarnished BTW or was the damage already done at that point by the media and Madonnas fans?(Please keep things civil and mature.)

Phoenix 17,395 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The comparison thing was just so ugly and negative and pointless, but you know madonna. đ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariomania1234 11,368 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Madonna didn't say anything about this until a year later. BTW had a great moment and is still recognized today. It's synonymous with Gaga.The comparisons were SO EXTRA though. It barely sounded like Express Yourself. Roar/Brave sound more alike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Absolutely Not! The song is huge and a great inspiration. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurem 17,797 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 That song is iconic, reductive or not. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloZell Green 11,723 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Literally that's the only attention she got that year. No one was praising her for her singles (if she had any at the time). In a way, it was her form of a publicity stunt. Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 13,646 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Madonna was doing what she's been doing for a while now; following trends.In 2012 shady and b---hy was the in thing for female celebrities and beefs and trolling was at it's peak online, so she followed the trends of being shady and it backfired since she would've had to have payed Gaga royalties every time she sang it on tour. So thanks for the help in paying Gaga's electricity bills sis i'm sure you'll know how expensive they are since you were around when we first got it.

Warholian 6,880 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Tarnished it, yes, but probably gave it more attention and interest than it would've had. Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicholic 3,694 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I thought it tarnished Madonna's brand insteadThat she mixed it with her song She's Not Me during MDNA tourAnd that she continued to lie and not point out that Express Yourself is a total rip-off of Respect Yourself  by the staple singers There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

crisTEAne 21,059 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 nope, BTW is critically acclaimed.  madonna's move was... disgusting. i'll never forgive her, tbh. if you hurt taylor swift, i'll hurt you back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Nah, I don't think so. It's not like she didn't try though... But despite all the backlash and comparisons, BTW still managed to be a huge hit. I think it's all water under the bridge and now people can appreciate the song for what it is, a very inspirational song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Die 1,864 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Tarnish? She flossed her ass with it as if it was a bath towel.   Stanky cover on her farewell tour imo. Nod if you wanna make love with the enemy. †Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddMeOnMYSPACE 1,815 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The song doesn't even sound like express yourself  Theres lots of songs that sound alike but Gaga had it worst, I'm still pressed on how the media treated her. It was a positive message but everyone was too busy wanted a feud between the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
