Until now, Madonna has stayed quiet despite near-universal charges that Lady Gaga ripped off her 1989 hit, "Express Yourself" with her gay anthem "Born This Way", which she performed at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.
Now, in an interview with Newsweek, Madonna finally commented on the striking similarities.
"I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song ('Express Yourself'). I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was...interesting."
Even Madonna's brother, Chris Ciccone, weighed in on the controversy. "They should have noticed, somebody should have noticed that the songs are so remarkably alike," Ciccone told E! News. "They should have pulled it or at least said, 'Change it.' "I was like, '"Express Yourself," wow.' And it's not like it's a direct copy, but it's more like that song than any other song I've ever heard before."
Lady Gaga has yet to respond.

Madonna is a stupid old looser, even if you love madonna and hate Gaga you cant deny the fact that Gaga is x100 More talented than madonna! the two songs sound nothing alike, Madonna is using Gaga for her comeback, but Madonna's comeback has failed miserably, Madonna needs to sit herself down, Lady Gaga Is Alot More Talented. And No One Gives Gaga Any Credit For Her Talent, Seeing How Half Of The Pop Stars Are Copying Her Like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna Katy Perry etc... Lets Face It Gaga Is Creative, Talented And Fresh. Shes The New Queen Of Pop And You Ghetto Idiots And Madonna Are Just Jealous Of Gaga Cause Your Favourite Ghetto Rapper Is No Where Near As Talented, Famous and Sucessful as Gaga!!!!

Shocking how Madonna has nerve, I do not recall Malcolm McLaren griping on how strikingly the same "Deep In Vogue" and "Vogue" were/is after she copied him, Madonna's real genius comes when she alters someone else work just so that it appears to be an original, no doubt she sounds like a retard oft than not because she believes her own crap.
Lady Gaga and Madonna are a bunch of b.s. One of the principles to "The Church of Satan" is to respect an others home and territory, when an abuser acts inappropriately they are to be destroyed. As of today there are lists of artists whom both she and Madonna have infringed upon without compensation or permission, they have been warned. Their/her time is to come.

@christian, why should I respect some1 because they did time??? So if a child molester does prison time you respect him??? I mean people who served time didn't really have a choice. Its not like the marines man. They did some dumb shit and got caught. Why respect them. That was off subject I know. But I do agree with everything else you had to say. Its the younger generation, say 20 and younger that are complete and ignorant dumb fucks. They DO not know what it means to respect the originators and o.g.s of the game and that's sad. I'm not and never have been a fan of madonna but I show respect where its due. Lotta ignorant ass comments on this thread. Wtf? I'm hearin madonna can't sing, this n that. Maybe she can't sing but that bitch sold motherfuckin millions and millions and stayed relavent for 20 plus years. I put money on the fact that 20 years from now nobody will even know who lady gaga is. She's already uglier than madonna and she's 20 years younger than her. Hahah come the fuck on yall. Learn what it means to respect and pay homage. I'm out!
