  • Thumbs up if you think born this way by lady gaga sounds kinda like this song

  • like madonna i love!!!!! :DDD

  • Many people in the 80's hated and despised Madonna for being a strong, "In Your Face" female persona. Did she use sex to sell what she had, or is sex what she had to sell? It doesn't matter!  The old, and yes, redundant argument is if she had been a man, so sexually aggressive, we would have just simply called him Mr. CEO! Get over it people, she was strong! I am a man, but only half the man she is!

  • #105(Tie)

  • I never knew how incredibly AWESOME Madonna is until she was on the SuperBowl. What a truly impressive catalog of hits. I don't even think anyone else has come near her longevity in terms of hit songs.

  • VIVA LA REIGNA, MADONNA

  • Balls said the queen ,,,if I had them I'd be King!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • again as The Queendom of Heaven on His Rare Planet Earth!...(but I wouldn't use the mark to want it right now.)...that was fun...The Communist Soviet Russia FREE now? aka Fox.Rock'sCzar! Rock n Roll!

  • A very good homage to the silent film 'Metropolis'.

  • There is a few similarities. Only the message is the same. Express who you are. But Born This Way is more descriptive.

  • @LavenderPrincessify u mean reductive right? lol

  • @LavenderPrincessify LADY GAGA IS A COPY CAT MADONNA WANNA BE

  • Lets all sing it together...''BORN THIS...WA....'' Huh.....this isn't that clones horrid copy of this song? Oh...This is the REAL version? Rock on

  • Gimme All Your Luvin' out in February... M.D.N.A. out in March

  • Respect Yourself - The Staples Singers

  • This sounds much closer to Respect Yourself than trying to compare it to Born This Way. However, I love both Madonna and Gaga. Btw...not only Italian heritage, but according to a popular genealogist doing research, it was found these two are related through their French Canadian roots and are ninth cousins.

  • @Jaguarprowler MADONNA IS A LEGEND.SHES NUMBER ONE .

  • madonna is hot...yeah

    

  • I just read an interview with Madonna and she says that Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" video is an update from this song of hers and that you can tell from the music cords. I don't hear any resemblance at all. I think Madonna is just jealous of Lady Gaga.. :-p

  • @arikizzl09

    Madonna never said anything about Gaga's "Born This Way". It is the media and the fans like yourself who have created this chaos.

  • @dwn1lal3

    Correction: Interview on 20/20 4 days ago, Madonna did discuss the similarities, and even said that she heard "Born This Way" on the radio and thought 'hmmm that sounds familiar.' Never say never unless you know.

  • @mrsgalab920

    Like I said earlier, the media and fans created the chaos, Madonna simply responded elegantly to it with a bit of humorous sarcasm on 20/20. Using the word "Reductive" is just priceless.

  • @arikizzl09 If you hear no resemblance you have no ear for music.

  • This song is reductive to my enjoyment of music.

  • Madonna's back up dancers could beat the hell out of Lady Gaga's backup dancers from born this way

  • There are only a few segments in Express Yourself that have a vague similarity in sound to Born This Way. Certainly not enough to call GaGa a copycat, not even close. The verbal messages are almost completely different, only enough to suggest a crude similarity in a few places. The imagery in Born This Way is totally unrelated to Madonna's. Not enough similarity to suggest that copying was a factor, just a coincidental association because both performers are Italian females of a similar ilk.

  • @dougdepue but the video does have similarities to gaga's" ALEJANDRO"

  • I personally think Lady Gaga is better.

  • So much better than Lady Gag Gag

  • M.D.N.A. go buy it, out in March

  • I like the song, the video just jumps to really random things. Its like the person who came up with this video had ADD or something

  • Fabulous Madonna

  • How old is this hag? Isn't she done yet?

  • Comment removed

  • @JimColyer shes an attention whore. her 15 min are up and shes still trying to be in the spotlight

  • Don't go for second best Frankie, Put your love to the test!

  • my absolute favorite song by madonna

  • who cares if gagas song sounds like this piece of crap, both of these songs are fuckin bull

  • NO MORE HATE JUST LOVE! C'MON GIRLS DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE??!

  • I LOVE MADONNA!

  • THIS IS A GREAT MADONNA VIDEO!!

  • Madonna looks amazing in menswear

  • @theblackdiamondgirly yes i loove the power suit where she grabs her crotch

  • This was never my favorite by Madonna

  • @open4your4heart

    fuck you tehn dont go and listen to it on youtube then! Madonna rox~~

  • @chipmunksrcutee

    My username is open your heart! loll I love Madonna I just don't like this song

  • @open4your4heart

    oh ^(^_^)>

  • @citylightslost - I've been done with this, why you brought it to my attention I'll never understand, but if you read comments right before sacking others there would be no reason for this.

  • @citylightslost - I'm no fanatic of madonna, brah, her music isn't even my style, but I know artists today or this era are blatant copy cats as I said. I don't dispute that madonna may have used other artists material, I already said that. but you singling me out because I made a comment to this other clown is way off base. As I told you, if you read his comments you can see where he insults people along with makin his point, but all you can do is spout more bullshit!

  • @citylightslost - she and other artists of this era are blatant cop cats! but you single me out to spout your bullshit when if you read the assholes comments the correct way you can clearly see he insults people as well as pronounse his view points! Oh, but I'm the one callin folks idiot! LOL you can go play in traffic as well!

  • @tubucoco -lady GaGa on the other hand is a different story!

  • @citylightslost - true, I am not disputing that! The issue here though, is that lady GaGa did indeed use Madonna's material to have a hit record, that is indeed true "buddy", so before you use your smart alleck comments, get your facts straight! "buddy" lol

  • @citylightslost - calling others idiot which is what he has done on this site is not winning the argument "buddy", yet you somehow manage to blame me for responding back to him using the word "idiot", I find that rather amusing. lol So let's go back to the argument, I believe it was centered on the premise that lady GaGa used material of Madonna's on her hit "Born this Way" , that is the subject here! Not Madonna using other artist's material in her heyday, that premise may be

  • @INATORdom -you sound like a childish idiot! and you probably are, go play in traffic!

  • Comment removed

  • the only thing thats the same in gaga's born this way video is the chord progression. lady gaga said in a magazin artical " Its the same one thats been in disco music for the last 50 years" Gaga defends herself in a recent magazine article. "Just because i'm the first f***ing artist in  25 years to think of putting it in the top 40 radio, it doesn't mean i'm a plagiarist, it means i'm f***ing smart!"

  • @starstellarae -if you believe that then you believe in pink elephants!

  • Madonna is such a bitch. She is obviously ripping off Lady Gaga's masterpiece of a song, "Born This Way", with this gay ass crap. Fuck Madonna.

  • @jamaljames88 um, this came first and if you read my first comment you will understand!

  • @jamaljames88 -HaHa, u crazy, Lady GaGa not only steals her music, but also some of her dance moves in the video. In that scene with zombie dude or whatever, her in the tux attire is a copy of Madonna in this video wearing a suit while she danced in it, I could make other comparisons, but I don't feel like it, not worth it!

  • @jamaljames88 are you serious? this was out like twenty years ago if not more. You're an idiot and Gaga isn't original. shes a sham.

  • I love 'em BOTH !!!!!!!!!

  • @katgramos Totaly! They should both be the queen of pop!

  • This song is nothing like Born This Way except in the chord progression for the chorus. You clearly have never studied or taken a REAL interest in music. The beat that was used in this has been used in other songs for the past 50 years even before born this way, just because BTW made it in the top 40 doesn't mean she STOLE anything. Madonna WAS one of the best selling music artists of all time, but everyone has someone who comes along who is better.lady gaga just so happens to be that person.

  • @alexmalloyy there is no way gaga is better than madonna. just sayin.

  • @alexmalloyy A) Lady Gaga will NEVER be better than Madonna. Secondly, I didn't realize that all the news hype about Born This Way being a ripoff of this song were all lies. My bad.

  • @alexmalloyy -if you can't tell that the soul of the music is the same then you don't know music. The core is similar, it's just been changed on the outside to sound different for obvious reasons!

  • Comment removed

  • Born This Way is much superior, the song I mean. I like this video however, especially the start with all those big, hard, muscular, sweaty men. I gotta go and rub this one out, bye.

  • Only desperate haters can say Born This Way sounds anything like Express Yourself. Sorry - complete and utter difference, lyrically and sonically.

    They're great, and they're both different.

  • Madonna is the queen, Britney is the princess, and Lady is a copy!

  • The fact that Madonna fans are hating on Lady Gaga makes me laugh. At least Lady Gaga's fans are mature.

  • @MRredhotlava Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja LOL

  • @zacheatstacos MADONNA IS THE QUEEN OF POP. I LOVE YOU MADONNA the greatest singer and sucessful woman in the world. Lady gaga its nothing, only a fake...

  • lady gaga and madonna are two totally different artists

  • I don't see the similarities....

  • This song is amazing

  • Madonna SUCKS DOGBALLS!

  • @DonQwantsyou shut the fuck up

  • I feel bad for the wet cat. she looks PISSED!

  • Can't believe when this first came out they used to edit the crutch grabbing part... How things have changed haha

  • This song came out years before LG's wonderful "Born this way"

  • i am a devoted monster, i LOVE GAGA!! but Madonna is better. she is still around & works hard in her career & ppl copy her a lot. that says it all. gaga ily! monsters ily too! but we have to be real & not fake. if u really love gaga u would know what i mean, we have to be truthful & yeah, we prefer gaga a lot & stuff cuz she's our idol but truth be said, Madonna is better & she deserves her respect 4 what she has given to the music industry. i personally have more respect 4 madonna&iAMa90'sBBY!

  • wish people would stop comparing Gaga and Madonna----two totally different artists. Ans so what if Gaga was influenced by Madonna, that's a good thing!!!

  • chauvinist??????????

    

  • Hate to say it, but play about 10-15 seconds of the video at 2 min 13 seconds in. THEN go to (youtube.com/watch?v=1II2nPmBZ­Jk) It's the Staple Singers doing RESPECT YOURSELF. Go to about 59 sec and play it. Sound familiar? Even the song title! Just sayin'...........

  • @jtpollock yes I can hear that without even listening to "Respect Yourself:" because I know that song well. The Staple Singers song is slower but yes I can hear the similarities - wonder if anyone else thought that, maybe when "Express Yourself" first came out. I don't remember - too long ago. Thanks for this observation.

  • Comment removed

  • no le entiendoo al videoo..pero canta bien :)

  • FUCK YOU GAGA. YOU COPY CAT BITCH! your nothing original just another slut trying to get popular by steeling other musician's work. lets see if anyone can recognize what song gaga stole from madonna. play this video. oh and gaga fans can go fuck themselves. love her for what little music tallent she has...not because she is popular.

  • @Dresdevious She's an artist, tell me what's new to be done? There are artists and they are allowed to happen. Do you at least know why you are angry?

  • I am a huge fan of Madonna! I love her so much, she's the BEST!!

  • the one and only....Madonna

  • 3:47 Alejandro, Ale... Ale... jando

  • if only women would actually take those lyrics to heart.

  • the Madonna is my first love, gaga2nd.and let us not forget Amy Winehouse!!

  • All time favorite song. 

  • Madonna easily beats Gaga.

  • LOVE IT! She can sing, dance, act (sorta.. League of their own!!!) and to add to it, she's beautiful, strong, sweet, and empowers all women out there in the world! I I used to listen to this song and the whole album when I was little, and its 2011 and i still love this song!! Madonna is such a huge inspiration to me being the female singer! I'm in a pop/punk band called HEY YOU... totally different style...but We just put up a new video and would love any input!

    Search: hey you band taking over

  • this video is machist...

  • @00cleber00 its a rip off of a 1920s german film called metropolis.

  • @elvisisdead26 I have to check this movie... saw a trailer here on YT, sounds reeeealll nice! ;)

    tks for the info! =)

  • @00cleber00 great classic movie. visually stunning

  • @FrancescaH2204 I found myself singing versus of this song to the lady gaga song 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.

  • Shes not trying to act like her. She's just INSPIRED by her. There's a difference.

    Yes, i admit these songs sound SIMILAR, But what about....

    "Girlfriend" (Avril Lavigne)....&.... "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" (Rubinoos)

    or

    "Fergalicious" (Fergie)...&...."Supersonic" (J.J. Fad)

    or

    "Ob-La-Di Ob-La Da" (Beatles)....&....."Why Don't You Get a Job" (Offspring)

    Putting older songs into todays generation, Isn't necessarily being a copycat.

  • @kylee718 older? the woman is pretty much alive and on top way above that copycat... not point of compare on that... besides the fact those artist actually have the identity define before pay tribute AN THE OTHER LITTLE FACT THAT CACA DENIED IT ALL! ¬¬ wich is pretty stupid when is to much OBVIOUS...

  • Would people stop comparing the two it's like so yawn. Madonna set the trend for her time but not any longer, she just trys to fit in and doesn't do anything daring anymore, her passion has gone. Gaga is a different kind of artist pure and simple, is she better maybe not but she is as good for the moment but someone else will come along, don't think Gaga has the staying power of Madonna although i think Madge is past her best :) xxx

  • this song=AWESOME and classic! Lady GuyGuy's ripoff of this song=EPIC FAIL ;)

  • Born This Way sounds nothing like Express Yourself.

    Just admit it. You guys are mad because Gaga has talent.

    Gaga loves Madonna. Madonna loves Gaga.

    Case Closed. It's just the haters that won't shut the fuck up.

    Oh well.... I don't care. OOOO THERE AIN'T NO OTHER WAY!

    BABY I WAS BORN THIS WAY! ♥

  • @WafflesVee you're brainwashed by Lady GuyGuy... stop drinking the Kool-Aid from her cooz and get back to reality and good taste in music. CASE CLOSED! now STFU and GTFO! ;)

  • Madonna, is culture!!!!! :)

  • Born this way Fake ô_O

  • lady gag gag wishes she was a f-in DIVA like madonna! funny how this song sounds so close to born this way

  • Madonna the best, the queen, the skill,..thats all.. nobody can t compare madonna at gaga, who just copy and sucks for money...

  • Lady Gaga is dumb. The comparison between this and "Born This Way" is obvious.

  • @drlafonda THUMBS WAAAAY UP! xD

  • @drlafonda -what will she steal next? "Vogue"! LOL

  • @tubucoco Well, when you look at the lyrics of Gaga's "Dance In The Dark" she does the "Diana/Jean-Benet Ramsey" part which resembles the lyrical part in "Vogue" where Madonna pays tribute to the names of Hollywood glam stars...

    Also, during the "Born This Way" Grammy performance...notice how all Gaga's dancers are "Voguing" with their hands exactly the same way as the dancers did in Madonna's Vogue video.

  • THIS IS THE FUCKING QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE !!!!!

    VIVA MADONNA!

  • Madonna could trounce Lady Gaga in 5 seconds man :)

  • Madonna is way better then Lady GaGa....Lady GaHa is a freak

  • @rindalorinda100

    Well she was born that way. Freaks are awesome.

  • MARCH 1st 2011, BUY EXPRESS YOURSELF IN ITUNES.

    FUCK GAGA

    VIVA MADONNA!!!

  • I don't know who is worse, Madonna or that awful Gaga thing.

  • Lady GaGa definately has Madonna influence, after all GaGa is in her early 20's. She was raised on Madonna. The beautiful thing is, is that Madonna was the pioneer, and has had far more time to refine her style and personna. I have been a Madonna fan since the 80's and love GaGa, too. I think GaGa has a lot more to show us and I, for one, can't wait!!

  • what the heck,why is EVERYONE saying lady gaga copied this song with born this way??? Born this way is an origonal song and its AMAAZING!

  • Okay. this video is AMAZING. Madonna is an icon; she defined pop music as we know it. Yes there are elements of Gaga that are very madonna-esque, but honestly her style is distinctly unique from Madonna's...

  • Listen. STOP COMPARING MADONNA TO LADY GAGA ! I love both artists but c'mon. Madonna is the queen ! She is so powerful whereas Gaga has some hits yeah. That's it. Madonna FTW !.

  • @thelumos101 Lady GaGa doesnt have "some hits" Born this way went to number one on iTunes in 23 different countries in less than 24 hours. She's the only artist in history to have 5 number ones off her debut album, she broke the world record for Grammy nominations last year, Bad romance was the most watched video in youtube history, poker face is the 2nd most downloaded song in history. I'll stop now, you get my point

  • @stepheneilc I'm just saying. Because everyone is saying Born this way is like Express yourself, when it sounds NOTHING like it.

  • @stepheneilc I don't think it would even be possible for someone to list the achievements of the Material Girl. Please, eff off Little Monster. Madonna will eat Gaga.

  • @stepheneilc there's no accounting for taste... and since when have the ignorant masses buying into the hype of crap equalled quality? get back to me when you have an HONEST ANSWER to reply with!

  • Is it me or does this song sound like Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"..?

  • Yep it sound just like Born this Way

  • Yep, it sounds just like Born this Way.

  • @FrancescaH2204 this song was first. So there for Lady Gaga copy Madonna.

  • @FrancescaH2204 Try the other way around.  I know that this Madonna song was out well before "Born This Way" was.

  • @FrancescaH2204 Just you and 10 people under 30 years of age.

  • @FrancescaH2204 Yep... Lady Gaga took the tune of the song & made her own new lyrics.

  • @FrancescaH2204 2:22 most clear sound

  • Holy shit! I thought born this way was a rip-off of 'when love takes over', but it is exactly like this! I hate it when she hypes shit up for months and it turns out to be extremely disappointing, like the videos for Alejandro and Telephone. Those were shit.
