ReidOne 12,427 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 OK... it's the year 2016, which means it has been 5 full years since the BTW vs. Express Yourself mess. And so many people still tell me "oh, Gaga is cool, but she did steal that Madonna song" Which angers me to my core, obviously. Which means its time to reveal this thought... One of the primary REASONS I love Lady Gaga is because she isn't afraid to "copy" the pop greats. But, because she makes a statement out of it each time, that makes it OK with me. She isn't imitating for imitation's sake. She's imitating to make a point. And usually, that point is to have a better understanding of the very artist she is copying, rather than understanding herself. But somehow, while observing this, we begin to see her for herself far more than she ever intended. Which makes us love her. Throughout her career she has "copied" each and every one of my pop faves: - Michael Jackson - Madonna - Britney Spears - Janet Jackson - Kylie Minogue - Whitney Houston (PS, in case you didn't notice, please review the list above of my "pop faves" and realize they are all undeniable legends, thank you, lol....) But it is BECAUSE she does this that I love her so much. She has proven to us she can be our ****ing Madonna AND Tony Bennett if we need her to be. And everyone in between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Inspired' would be the right word. Copying is blatantly taking others' ideas and crediting yourself for them. Nevertheless, yes, she's the only contemporary artist who looks, sounds and seems like a legend that the aforementioned examples are. At least in-the-making. She's so ambitious I'm sorry Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande can never. The other one is Rihanna but she seems like she doesn't care about her live performances so...

iMonster 1,037 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I prefer the great quote. . .  Good artist copy. Great artist steal. Michael Stole (I still love him to death happy early birthday King!) Madonna stole. Britney copied () Gaga steals. However, everytime she does, she makes it her own. When you copy you're merely just doing exactly with the original artist did. So it's really her showing her homage in her own way. She's still a great artist in her own right and more people are finally seeing her vocals aren't to be slept on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
