Instead of admitting she got inspired by Madonna. I remember the Born This Way messiness with the Madonna issues. But she clarified it in a Billboard interview: Everyone knows how much I love and adore Madonna. What a huge fan I am. I don't think there is a female on the planet that is not inspired by Madonna... on so many levels. I was honored to hear from her--I've met her in the past and worked with her and... she was so supportive and loving and... I think what people are hearing, to be precise, is the spirit of the early '90s. It's not just Madonna, it's Whitney Houston, it's En Vogue, it's TLC. It was a '90s-dance-early-gospel-fusion-with-pop-music, and that's precisely what I intended for it to sound like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Dua is openly inspired by Madonna and the confessions era for this album and there's even writers/producers from Confessions on Future Nostalgia. An homage is not copying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Imagine being one of the fully grown men replying to that Twitter post trying to drag Gaga... I remain unbothered by the pettiness. Also, this isn't even a matter of homage/inspiration. It's purely based on optics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Unfortunately, in today's culture, artists are not allowed to reference or be inspired by other things, because even if they blatantly state "I was inspired by this person and I wanted to pay them homage", it's immediately classified as copying.

RichAssPiss 4,922 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Gaga's done a lot of Madonna homage. The entire 'teal ambition" phase was at the height of comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
