Wow Madonna invented speaking. Queen of language. :udidnt:

Come on, you know what I'm saying lol. I'm not a Madonna fan but I can still recognize archetype. 

Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

No one is saying Babylon isn't good. The snippet just has BLATANT similarities between Bowie's Fame and the monologue in Vogue by Madonna. (and that's a GREAT thing because both of those songs are ICONIC)
It's a historic, factual observation. Not a condemnation lol 

It probably wasn't intentional, and even if it was intentional, Gaga has stated multiple times that both artists have inspired her.

It obviously does sounds like Fame and probably even samples it but I don’t understand the similarities with Vogue. Madonna most certainly did not invent speak-singing or house beats.

If it samples Fame I’m okay with it, if it doesn’t sample it...I cannot defend the song. That’s WAY too close.  Though it sounds like a demo so maybe it’ll be different in final. As is, though, woof...I mean it sounds pretty good but SO much like Fame that it’s a stretch to say “inspired by”

A bit disapointed. After The Fame being a major Bowie inspired album why would she go back there. 

 

Still liked the leak.

I just listened to the snippet of Babylon and I immediately thought of David Bowie’s Fame. The style in which she sings and the funky guitars just scream Fame. And considering that Gaga is a big David Bowie fan, this song might have been the inspiration. I think that Babylon will be the modern day Fame. Groovy, funky, catchy, but still very modern. 

 

Let's be honest...y'all just saying this cos of the funky guitar and because she likes Bowie. The song didn't sound particularly catchy or something that could be on the radio. Quite experimental if you ask me. Hopefully it ain't a single xo 

Soz, just living my honesty

I can hear Vogue if I strain, yeah, I guess. But Bowie? It hit me like a freight train.

So I put the bridge acapella of vogue over part of the haus labs babylon instrumental thing (so it's not the leak, mods :huntyga:). There's a bit of a tempo mismatch, so if any of you audio engineers have some free time, have at it. The link to it is below so you can see if it fits or not:
