darkchylde 14,857 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Imagine if Madonna, when she was asked about Born This Way on an interview, had replied with something like "it's okay, I did it with Hung Up, and it's been done for ages. I appreciate it." instead of the unfamous "reductive".Would we have our collaboration already? Would MDNA had not flopped? Would Rebel Heart had not leaked? Would ARTPOP had not recieved so much trashtalk? Would the world be a better place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester 6,306 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 She knew what she was doing imo. She could've worded it differently... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 She did not copy anyone with Hung Up tho.. It's a sample.She paid for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McQ 106 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Even though this whole mess had a big backlash, I personally think that Gaga built up a whole lot of relevancy thanks to it. Not everybody, every day is recognized as a threat to the original Queen of Pop, you know. Seeing that Madonna doesn't like Gaga, because she feels threatened, made people think '' Oh, Gaga is actually serious, she's happening, she's here and she'll stay '', you know? Everything has a good side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farron 257 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Lol, I guess Gaga wouldn't ignore Madonna, you know, if M wouldn't have performed the mash-up on the MDNA tour. I guess that's what hurt Gaga the most. MY world would definetely be a better place superhuman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 15,889 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 She knew what she was doing, she was (as per usual) trying to use youth culture, since at the time the whole shade thing in stan & troll culture was high. But who knows, even if she was nice & collabed with Gaga I'd just edit the song to remove her atrocious autotuned vocals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde 14,857 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Music industry doesn't work this way thoOf course it does, look at Taylor Swift. She's got more attention by being friends with as many people as possible than by insulting someone else's work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjang 2,262 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 "No, i don't think she's copying me, cause she's she and i'm me" - in the same interview. "I actually like her, i think she's very talented" - Graham. About the mash up, it was meant to be comedic, not an attack. Maybe if Gaga was an actual Madonna fan like she always stated she would have picked up on her unique sense of humor, Madonna was always like this. Back in the 80s when she was accused of copying MJ, she did the exact same thing. its a commentary on the media presented in a humoristic manner, its irony, its artistic expression. But of course, according to Gaga daily logic, a woman who devoted a big porrtion of her life as an equal rights activist before it was hip and popular to do so, a woman who helps building education in economically weak countries is evil because she didn't sugar coat her opinion on a specific situation that happened to involve your precious mommy fave.
