Good job. I commented the same thing a while back about the similarities. I was trying to convince my son about it, but he kept giving me a hard time (on purpose).
I was in the grocery store and I heard Don't Turn Around and I kept thinking to myself, holy cow this sounds a lot like Alejandro. I'm a huge gaGa fan and I like both songs. I think GaGa definitely gets ideas from other places but she does such a fuckn' good job of putting her spin on it that I can't hate her for it. I love her for it it's reincarnated my love for so many older artist like Ace of Base. I'm like oh ya haven't listened to them in forever! So shes doing them a favor in a way.
I found myself singing versus of Madonna's Express Yourself to the lady gaga Born This Way in my head....whats worse This lady gaga Alejandro and Madonna's La Isla Bonita with a dollup of ace of base's don't turn around. I hope everyone is getting paid for the regurgitated music.
wonder how many more song GaGa is going to use in her songs. The thing is its not creative when she claims that it is her own music but that there is to many similarities to another. Just like she did with Madonna's song on her new album. And dont say people do it all the time yes there are ones that are the same but are remixes which is completely different.
I completely agree with this. Was listening to Don't turn around and was reading that Lady GaGa was inspired by Ace of Base, so with that in mind, i listened to their greatest hits , and sure enough I found this one sounded like it. haha, those that dont agree... please learn music.
@msshaundrel when the two songs are played at the same time and you can't tell where one starts and where once stops, its not influenced by. its a rip off
@msshaundrel when the two songs are played at the same time and you can't tell where one starts and where once stops, its not influenced by. its a rip off
the demo version of alejandro's beat is way better and sounds nothing like "dont turn around" but the official version does, why would they change the beat?
Thanks for this! I keep arguing that Ace of Base was Lady Gaga's muse for Alejandro. Not that she copied this song, but that she used it as inspiration because she loved "Don't Turn Around." It's a salute to another artist to interpret their music and take your own spin on it. Ace of Base should be flattered that another artist found their song so inspirational. It's like the song is the paint, but each artist uses their own brushes and own artistic ability to paint their own new picture...
I love Ace of Base in a very strong way and Aqua as well!!
Aqua and Ace of Base both from Scandinavia: so original, happy style, great and gaga is just copying them! Now i know why i used to appreciated Alejandro so much this summer: i used to listen it 15 times a day...it reminded me something good!! My childhood, a magic period!!
I don't believe the point here is to slam either Gaga or Ace of Base, but rather to ask ourselves if we the public are being fooled.
First time I heard Alejandro, I told my niece, I go, "That's Don't Turn Around by Ace of Base"
You do have to wonder if these record companies are laughing all the way to the bank, by joining with each other and re-churning the same songs that helped make them rich once before.
actually throw madonnas la isla bonita in there for good measure mix that with ace of base and you kind of have alejandro, i like gaga but it is so close to the others
u got ur gaga fans u got ur ace of base fans u got ur gaga ace of base fans so u either love it or hate it or hate on the ones that say gaga "stole " (i say inspire) from ace of base n swear that wat the love hate fans hear is wrong. one thing is for sure 98 out of 100 hear dont turn around alejandro!
oh please ,theres alot of songs out now who sounds like a song from the 80s or 90s get over it,people just like talking crap about lady gaga cause shes different.get the f--- over it
dont call my name dont call my name, roberto, but i wont let you go.
make up your mind woman! i cant turn around and walk away but i cant call your name and you wont be my babe and you wont let me go! now take your hands out of your pockets and let me have that true love in your bolsillo.
I have been saying this to everyone around me since Alejandro came out! Thanks for posting this so I can let them listen to it and see for themselves! Ha
I love this song but I also love Ace of Base. My fav band in the early 90's ! So I noticed the similarities. It's due to Max Martin Ace of Base's producer back then. He produced Britney Spears as well, listen to her first songs it's the same reggae beat orientated ;-)
WHERE THE FUCK ARE SIMILARITIES? i want someone that is musically competent to answer! Dou you all think that a bass line or a kick line can make to songs similar?
SHAME ON YOU ALL! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONGS! You know anything about music. Melody and Voice line are different. The only similar thing is the kick line. SHAME ON THE CREATOR OF THIS VIDEO!
I'm Agree too I first hear the gaga song then I think ,I knew this sound then 3 days later I saw the Ace of base don't turn around video there is a lot of similar sounds.
I have always heard strong influence of 90's eurodance in Lady Gaga, but this new one was too obvious. I just listened Alejandro and began to Google with words "Lady Gaga Alejandro Ace of Base"... and behold... here I am.
Your remix is not bad actually! The inconsistencies aren't too noticeable. And even when I hear them, there is a quality I like about them. I think you should continue playing around with your dj program, you could really get somewhere if you wanted!
I am so glad so many people have caught this besides me! When I first heard it i could of swore it was ace of base. Total rip off. Lets hope this is the beginning of the end of gaga.. PLEASE let it be!
mother fucker.... i knew it, i was listening to this in i was da fuck? ace of base, i was thinking i saw the sign or something all respect lost for her
And all the time I thought Allejandro sounds like All that she wants... and it's actually Don't turn around! LOL! It's totally the same!
But the FUNNIEST thing is Gaga-fans claiming AOB are copying her... yeah like... they travelled to the future in the nineties and stole her music and went back in time and made their copies! LOL.
@Mtanic Don't say that as we're all claiming that. Lol, real fans know that she said specifically that it was ace of bace influence (the simply chords, not the meaning/lyrics/video or anythign else about it)
First time I heard Alejandro I thought it was Ace of Base don't turn around. It's not a bad song, I like both of them even if she copied Don't turn around. She still could of written her own music instead of copying. It's not that hard to sit down, and write your own sheet music.
I know, when I heard this in the grocery store, I thought it was Ace of Base, and was confused as to which station played Ace of Base still. My MOM told me it was Lady GaGa, and that shes made that mistake before thinking it was Ace of Base.
i was telling my girlfriend that lady gaga was using ace of base's beat for her alejandro song, and my girlfriend was arguing with me about it saying there was no similarities. haha this is so proof for me, i knew i wasn't nuts.
Probably been said already but I really can't be bothered to trawl through all the comments but she (I can't even bring myself to say her nom de plume) is just one big fake, charlatan, the Kings new clothes and whatever other epithets one can think of. About as original as Ace of Base were when they ripped off the Jamaican reggae sound. There 'aint nothing new in rock n' roll but but this kind of thing is so blatant but the sad thing is that kids don't know it.....
I thought it was Ace of Base when I first heard it. Every music act has a mentor. Even Michael Jackson ripped off James Brown. Gaga loves AOB and Madonna...so what.
I thought it was Ace of Base when I first heard it. Every music act has a mentor. Even Michael Jackson ripped off James Brown. Gaga loves AOB and Madonna...so what.
@Mike6290 u better listen to the original Ace of Base's Dont turn around not the lady gaga remix and u can actually hear the similarities at the bridge and the beginning of the song
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this song sounded like Ace of Base. It's sad to see young people who say Lady Gaga is original when they don't know who Ace of Base are.
@pornob0tics What originality. Even in the music video for Alesandro, it looks like a cross between Madonna's Express Yourself and Vogue. The rifle bra looks just like Madonna's cones in Vogue, and the dancing men look like the ones in Express Yourself. Gaga is a fake. Even her name and original appearance was a rip off from the music group Deelite.
Actually... when I first heard this song... I started singing the chorus to Ace of Base... and it started saying "Alejandro..." i was like... wtf is this shit?
OMG!!! JUSTIN BIEBER DOES THE SAME EXACT THING....THIS IS PROB THE ONLY TIME SHES DONE IT...JUSTIN BIEBER HAS STOLEN SONGS FROM MODERN DAY BANDS AND HE HASNT DONE IT ONCE IT HAS BEEN DONE NUMEROUS TIMES!!! SO Y R PPL MAKING A BIG STINK ABOUT THIS SERIOUSLY GET OVER IT!!!
Originally the big problem was talented artists SOUNDING like other talented artists. Now it's untalented rip-offs copying untalented rip-offs. If only musicians were respected, instead of drag queen idiots stomping around like velociraptors.
between the first lines of each song of lady gaga and the refrain there always seems to be a few lines where she practically talks at the rythm of the music (kind of a mini rap solo) while the melody becomes a little more intense and suddenly she passes to the refrain, but there is no need to always do things that way...the only song i can remember no where i don't find a moment where she does that is telephone...
this is really bad!... it doesn't blend well, sure the tracks are similar but it's badly done... The other tune abruptly chimes in, then the chorus... jesus man... Try again.
just because there is a lady gaga song that sounds similar to one of the other rest of milliard songs in this world, doesn't means she should retire or something....
Incredible work you've done here. I've been listening to several mashups of the two songs, and yours is by the far the best at showing how close "Alejandro" is to "Don't Turn Around."
I love Ace of Base. There's a part of the song in Don't Turn Around "I'm gunna be strong, I'm gunna be fine...." and Don't wanna touch and all that Don't stuff sound a lot like this song xD I like both. I don't really care.
Lady Gaga didn't steal Ace of Base music,of course she was influenced by them she grew up in the 90's and anyway Ace of base had the same tune for every song just different lyrics, Lady Gaga has a bit more talent than that.
when i first heard "Alejandro" I was ecstatic and asked the person next to me if Ace of Base was back together. I thought it sounded exactly like "Don't Turn Around"" too. It's great that you made this video.. copyright laws violations all over the place, although I do love me both some lady gaga and some ace of base, so i love "alejandro" anyway.
i agree many similarities the first time i heard gaga i didnt knw it was gaga but i did knw it was took from ace the base im just glad others hear what i hear lol u knw it was ace the base that inspired gaga to do this song
@stonerlov3 haha I do know my ace of base, been a fan since I was 10, so since 93. The beat of this track I think is much closer to the sign and other songs rather than Dont turn around.
@adamvndl well u got ur opinion and i got mine! im 25 now and i am also a fan of the base and have been since i was 7 sooo in my ears i hear dnt turn around i deff do not here no sign in this song but again ur opinion is urs and mine is mine and that is the way it should be!
ALSO, why does nobody talk about her using the famous violin piece Czardas at the start of the song???????? lol That is definitely a direct rip off from Monti
Good job. I commented the same thing a while back about the similarities. I was trying to convince my son about it, but he kept giving me a hard time (on purpose).

Lady Gagá aprovechó la música de esta canción compuesta por ALBERT HAMMOND para ACE OF BASE, titulada "Don't turn around" para conseguir
el éxito. A esto se le llama aprovecharse de otra melodía que en su día
tuvo muchisimo exito. Pero los oidos no nos engañan y todos sabemos
que para algunos artistas el único modo de triunfar es a base de copiar
melodías de canciones.

There 'aint nothing new in rock n' roll but but this kind of thing is so blatant but the sad thing is that kids don't know it.....

I thought the chorus of Alejandro sounded more like All That She Wants but yeah the song is very Europop! ;)

I thought it was Ace of Base when I first heard it. Every music act has a mentor. Even Michael Jackson ripped off James Brown. Gaga loves AOB and Madonna...so what.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this song sounded like Ace of Base. It's sad to see young people who say Lady Gaga is original when they don't know who Ace of Base are.

no comparison to AoB's version..... nice try Gaga. Stick with your own originality.

@pornob0tics What originality. Even in the music video for Alesandro, it looks like a cross between Madonna's Express Yourself and Vogue. The rifle bra looks just like Madonna's cones in Vogue, and the dancing men look like the ones in Express Yourself. Gaga is a fake. Even her name and original appearance was a rip off from the music group Deelite.

Originally the big problem was talented artists SOUNDING like other talented artists. Now it's untalented rip-offs copying untalented rip-offs. If only musicians were respected, instead of drag queen idiots stomping around like velociraptors.

I don´t think it´s the first time that Gaga copy Ace of Base´s melodys. She did it in "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)"...

between the first lines of each song of lady gaga and the refrain there always seems to be a few lines where she practically talks at the rythm of the music (kind of a mini rap solo) while the melody becomes a little more intense and suddenly she passes to the refrain, but there is no need to always do things that way...the only song i can remember no where i don't find a moment where she does that is telephone...

this is really bad!... it doesn't blend well, sure the tracks are similar but it's badly done... The other tune abruptly chimes in, then the chorus... jesus man... Try again.
PaulaSheard 1 year ago
just because there is a lady gaga song that sounds similar to one of the other rest of milliard songs in this world, doesn't means she should retire or something....
you guys are horrible.

Incredible work you've done here. I've been listening to several mashups of the two songs, and yours is by the far the best at showing how close "Alejandro" is to "Don't Turn Around."

I love Ace of Base. There's a part of the song in Don't Turn Around "I'm gunna be strong, I'm gunna be fine...." and Don't wanna touch and all that Don't stuff sound a lot like this song xD I like both. I don't really care.

Lady Gaga didn't steal Ace of Base music,of course she was influenced by them she grew up in the 90's and anyway Ace of base had the same tune for every song just different lyrics, Lady Gaga has a bit more talent than that.

when i first heard "Alejandro" I was ecstatic and asked the person next to me if Ace of Base was back together. I thought it sounded exactly like "Don't Turn Around"" too. It's great that you made this video.. copyright laws violations all over the place, although I do love me both some lady gaga and some ace of base, so i love "alejandro" anyway.

@stonerlov3 haha I do know my ace of base, been a fan since I was 10, so since 93. The beat of this track I think is much closer to the sign and other songs rather than Dont turn around.

@adamvndl well u got ur opinion and i got mine! im 25 now and i am also a fan of the base and have been since i was 7 sooo in my ears i hear dnt turn around i deff do not here no sign in this song but again ur opinion is urs and mine is mine and that is the way it should be!
