| Madonna declared "open war" to Lady Gaga during the first concert of her new tour MDNA, in Tel Aviv |
Since the
release of her single Born This Way, in
the beginning of 2011, a lot was written about Lady Gaga, being her accuse of
plagiarism of the 80´s classic Express
Yourself, by Madonna. Immediately Gaga answer to these critics, in the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, stating that
the Queen of Pop sent her an e-mail sending her “love and completely support”.
Although
the comparisons continue, mainly from Madonna´s fans, the situation seemed to
calm down, until the end of May 2012, during the Madonna´s opening tour
concert, in Tel Aviv, Israel, that will pass in Portugal on June 24th
2012.
In spite of
never saying anything about the suppose plagiarism, on May 31st
2012, Madonna broke the silence and present a mash-up of her Express Yourself with Born This Way, by the 25-year-old woman,
concluding with “she´s not me”. (watch the following video)
Only on
June 7th, on a concert in Auckland, New Zealand, Lady Gaga would
respond taking a higher level: during the performance of Hair, sat on a motorbike/piano, Gaga stated:
“It sometimes makes people feel better about
themselves, you know, to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe
make mockery of their work. I don´ t even want to fight back because it´s more
important to me to keep writing music. […] Things are really different now than
they were 25 years ago, and that´s what make Born This Way so
relevant for me. We´re socially in a completely different place and it´s ok, we
don´t have to all slice and hate each other anymore.” (watch the following
video)
Without referring
the name of her idol, Lady Gaga won, for Shout,
this first round, by avoiding the low level of Madonna´s desperate criticism, thought in a context of an amazing performance.
However, it is important to refer that in spite of her attitude and in spite of
having referred Gaga´s music as “reductive”
on a previous interview, the Queen of Pop considers the author of Bad Romance a real artist.
We wait for
more developments and, in this way, the real winner of this diva´s battle that
for a long time was missing in the music world.
Greetings,
Shout
