Did Gaga get any backlash from Alejandro sounding like Don't Turn Around?

So we all know Alejandro sounds like this song. I wasn't on the forums back then and got all my Gaga news from Google news and other sites. I didn't know about GGD back then. I didn't notice any backlash from this though. Did she get any?

She got backlash from Alejandro's MV, but not from the song sounding like this one or anything else.

i can see the similarities but rly the music vid won the backlash

The religious drama overshadowed the "backlash" she could've get. But when the song was released officially as the last single from TFM, some people noticed it

I always thought it sounded too much like a Madonna/Ace of Base mashup.

No idea, never paid any attention to the critics 'cause I like what I like and f*ck their opinions. 

Plus, I can't be the only one who's waaay past over this whole "this song sounds like this song" thing

​

Online reviewer Todd in the Shadows mentioned it sounded like Ace of Base I think. I think he really likes Gaga though.

Im sure I read somewhere that Gaga herself said that Alejandro itself was an homage to Ace Of Base. In fact, the only reason I found out who these were was because of Gaga herself talking about them.

Only bitter madonna stans in the youtube comments

I wasn't here on GGD at that time either but it was mentioned in articles that I read.  They wrote it sounded like Ace of Base but it was more of a suggestion / comparison not a scandal or anything near the Express Yourself This Way controversy that was about to follow.
