You’ve seen the rehearsal footage of Madonna’s Lady Gaga diss but now is your chance to see the finished product. The aging icon shared her special message to her younger peer during her ‘M.D.N.A. Tour’ at Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv, Israel yesterday.
Madonna “sang” a medley of Gaga’s ‘Born this Way’ and her own ‘Express Yourself’ – the former tun is allegedly a ripoff of the latter – as well as ‘She’s Not Me’ from her ‘Hard Candy’ album. Also on Madonna’s setlist was ‘Girl Gone Wild’ and ‘Turn Up the Radio’. Watch her perform those tunes here.
Watch Madonna diss Gaga during her ‘M.D.N.A. Tour’ below:
grow the fuck up
When you want to remain relevant, anything goes *yawn*
She sure is pale. Her legs were giving me Edward Cullen.
if betty white don’t cover up her nasty ass aint no one checking for that stale pancake yuck
i kinda like that mash up lol, i don’t consider it a diss though as it gives gaga more publicity for free. Now performing, “She’s Not Me” after is the diss lol
Why didn’t she add the staple sisters – respect yourself instead of born this way? Now that would have been the real deal, seen as express yoursel is a complete and utter rip off of it, Madonna needs a reality check and needs to see the list of people she’s ripped off, seems to me people have forgot about all that, Madonna is queen alright, queen of unoriginality!!
I don’t think it’s a diss so much as a danggone reminder. When I first heard “Born This Way”, Madonna’s “Express Yourself” came to mind…or something Madonna’s 80s era-esque. And that was before I read about people saying it was a rip-off. I never knew about Madonna ripping the Staple Singers….is it a rip of lyrics/song title or music as Gaga’s “Born this Way” SOUNDS like Madge’s song?… Explain, please.
Why does madonna keep her hands covered?
Get it girl !! She’s letting ‘em know haha
More publicity for Gaga
I actually like the mash up. the performance was boring though
Old ass bitch is so fucking insecure of gaga and her success that she feels the need to go all extra…
im disappointed with madonna. lady gaga has never disrespected her so why must she carry on this way.. instead of doing something epic like colab with gaga she ranting running across stage like a high school girl ranting ” she is not me she is not me” WTF lmaoo come madonna you in your 50s mama. nobody will take your place you are the queen of pop but right now. you are tripping.
Yass Madonna! You better let it be known!
I’M ALL FOR MADONNA & I LOVE HER & GAGA BOTH BUT WHAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO ME IS THE FATC THAT MADONNA HAS DONE MUSIC & VIDEOS W/NICKI MINAJ WHO IS ALSO ACCUSED OF COPYING SO MANY OTHER ARTISTS…SO WHY WOULD SHE DO IT!!!
@Kanyade: When Madonna made “Xpress” urself the Staple singes did not at all come to mind when u heard it. Gaga’s song confused me because I immediately thought of Madonna! Homage is respect and maybe Gaga didn’t get Madge permission to sample her song (so closely!)? Madge still sells out stadiums so we can’t really crack on her.
if dissing lady gaga was her intention, this is very childish. grow up, nobody questions madonna’s influence on music, but there are going to be big names after her. accept it. madonna was accused of copying people when she first came out. it seems everyone has forgotten this. i love madonna, and i love lady gaga. who i love more as time goes one depends on who acts more grown up in the end.
100 years from now (if we last that long) do you think anybody is going to be talking about madonna and gaga when it comes to pop music (if it’s even called pop music then). i seriously doubt it. those who do are going to be fringe music nerds akin to people who understand trends in silent film from the first have of the 20th century.
the staple sisters may not come to mind when you hear madge sing xpress yourself. but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a rip. she used a more modern twist on the line, but it’s an obvious and huge influence. madonna used the staple sistern’s line, gaga used madonna’s beat, is it a really big difference? i agree with darwin, in 100 years, neither mad nor gaga will matter, and a bunch of people will be accusing another of ripping off someone from twenty years prior. BARF BARF BARF BARF singers, stars, people magazine, queen of this and queen of that. pay attention to something that’s actually important.
