Pop 4,541 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Madonna's entire career was built on stealing from others. It's quite ironic that she would attack Gaga for "stealing" from her. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite ironic that she would attack Gaga for "stealing" from her. Well, to be fair, she called all the other "copies" (in the sense that the media called her out for copying Madge) either tributes or references, so she could've been a lot worse. Besides, in her tour, she referred to her own Express Yourself copy controversy (where she was accused of copying Respect Yourself), and in the context of the tour narrative the whole thing becomes a statement about pop culture and materialism in general, so all in all I don't think it was that bad. Why are Monsters do determined to not put this on the same level as Gaga calling out Katy and Nicki for copying her looks/ideas? Madonna and Gaga pretty much had a similar work philosophy: because they were determined to explore different personalities, they could borrow from anyone who portrayed that personality in the past. If Madonna built her entire career on stealing from others, so did Gaga, and in fact, some critics actually compare them based on their long history of "borrowing" As to the OP: that song, as well as Devil Pray, is super basic. That's like comparing MANiCURE to that Disney song some people called it a rip-off of. It takes a few minutes to write that stuff, so other examples that sound alike are always gonna be found. Besides, none of the melodies/chords are the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Madonna need to know every song released so she doesn't make something similar? Venus also samplers fyi but you don't call her a stealer. Be fair ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?

heavymetall0v3r 910 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Or did you maybe stop and think that Madonna didn't put this out because she realised beforehand that it was too similar to another song? Cant say Gaga did that with born this way... The angriest twink on GagaDaily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be fair devil pray is on rebel heart fyi 2 steps behind me is not on rebel heart for obvious reasons (gaga controversy) and you cant deny that house of the rising sun and devil pray share one melody. also theres a difference between sampling and stealing ...

I didn't say anything about Devil Pray but ok... Does it have to be M's fault? or maybe it's the producer's (Avicii too) fault that they found inspiration. As if Madonna had to know every song ever released so she dopesn't make anything similar. She is a singer/songwritter, not a producer. ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?
