I don't think so. That is like a book editor taking credit for an author's Pulitzer Prize. In my opinion, it would have been more respectful for Gaga to bow out and allow Warren to win an Oscar for a song that is clearly her creation. I want Gaga to win an Oscar, but I want her to earn it. she produced the damn song and changed meloies and arrangements. diane just had the piano and lyrics. all the orchestra was a composition made by gaga. she has enough credits. diane made the lyrics, she made the instrumental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish Diane or Gaga would do that. ❗️ IG: thebumblebee__ ❗️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudarshana 581 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't know who she is so I'mma continue ignoring her existence (but didn't we always know that gaga had little impact in the writing of the song?)

The guitars just follow the chords Diane already had. It's true that Gaga shaped the sound of the song but technically that's the producer's job. I'm not saying Gaga didn't deserve a writing credit (I can totally see why she got it: the essence of the song changed) but I don't think it's right to fight back Linda with an equally wrong presentation of facts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperado 2,439 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 She was being bitter and did this on purpose, because she didnt want Diane to win an Oscar. Thats the whole issue here. Everyone knew Gaga didnt have a big part on the song because it was already finished when it came to her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit the frog 1,921 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 6 hours ago, SKANK said: It benefits them both to exaggerate or lie about the amount of song writing credit Gaga deserves for Till It Happens To You, because it increases the songs chances of winning an Oscar. With Warren's song writing credibility and Gaga's star power they are a shoe in to win the Oscar for Best Original Song. Gaga and Warren are both lobbying hard for this Oscar. Warren has lost several Oscars, and as we saw last weekend at the Globes, Gaga is motivated and thrilled by accolades. I wouldn't put it past either of them to be dishonest about the song writing credits in order to cement their Oscar win. The real question is, why would Linda Perry lie? She likes Gaga, has spoken positively about her music, and just did a tribute to Bad Romance a few months ago. The only explanation I can think of for Perry's tweet is the defense of artistic integrity. She is probably frustrated to see a fellow song writer having to share the spotlight with a pop star who pretends to be more involved then she actually is. With her tweets about the situation, I think this can be the case indeed. Which does not make Gaga look good in the eyes of a fan, like me. I mean, if changing a key for a song (which was btw a suggestion made by Nile Rodgers) and rewriting one line can be considered WRITING, then this may shed some light on Gaga's credibility as a songwriter (I'm looking at you, Beyonce). Not to mention that her credibility in what she says to the media has been shattered for a long time. The only thing that can be Gaga's defence is that she was really trying to get involved with the finished song, to make it "hers", but again - is that what an artist do? That's what an interpreter does. Or, as it sadly is in this case, a celebrity hungry for awards and recognition does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
