I can't believe how many people are saying
Born This Way by Lady Gaga sounds like or resembles
Express Yourself by Madonna. I have undoubtedly listened to Express Yourself a billion-and-a-half times (definitely more than you) since it's release in 1989. It's been a personal source of inspiration at almost every important moment in my life (gay enough for ya?). I live for that song. All over the Internet people are calling
Born This Way (which I'm listening to on repeat all day at work) a ripoff of
EY, and I don't get it.
It doesn't sound ANYTHING like Express Yourself. Is it the subject matter and tone? Is it the hard driving beat? Or is it just people waiting for Gaga not to hit a home run again? I don't know, but I can count myself among Madonna experts and I am sure no one has put in as many hours lip syncing to
EY as I have, so I am here to tell you that these songs only share one thing in common:
THEY ARE AWESOME. Get over it and enjoy two super fantastic songs. That being said, I would love a great mashup!!!!!!!!!!! Love ya!!

ReplyDeleteWhat the hell does a DJ have to do with it? I guess DJs are the experts on music now. Ha. What a 2011 response. While I do greatly respect your opinion, you're wrong. :)
