I just wish everyone who was obviously inspired by Gaga would just admit it the way Gaga does. There's nothing wrong with being 'oh, I like that and I would love to do something similar.' 

I'm really not trying to shade anyone, but I think all the pop ladies and industry heads should give credit where it is due.

What a disgrace to compare TFM with this crap.

First Sia, now her, but let's be honest, the real inventor of that wig was silent movie star Alla Nazimova.

yes i know but That wig is more recognizable as a Gaga wig i mean Gaga made it Iconic
nicki truly doesn't know alla

I agree to be honest. And it's not even like Gaga invented the whole elaborate looks and outfits thing, she just brought it back to the mainstream. Part of me thinks it's the stylists/managements of the other girls who pushed them to do these things, but still.

Old? Old? Please, in the beginning of her career, it was super obvious that Lady Gaga was an inspiration to all of her costumes and videos etc.. 

It's nothing bad tbh, but admit it like a true person.

Which part of Asia? It's a massive continent with many different stereotypical looks.

[lego 44,165]

She could've been classier, "Lady Gaga? Who wasn't influenced by her, she's a brilliant artist. One of a kind."  

That way she'd shut down copying accusations and wouldn't come across as bitter.

It looks cheap.

She also adopted Lady Gaga’s method of saturating the media with outrageous costumes, but now, when I asked if Gaga influenced her, she shot back, with a look of such intense disapproval my hair curled: ‘‘I don’t even want to discuss that. That’s so old to me.’’
