@isim3000 I think Madonna is amazing when it comes to singing - check Madonna's performance of sooner or later in 1990 or any performance in the drowned world tour. No, she wrote the songs with other people, therefore she is co-writing.

Music is about recycling, but when you think about it, who did Madonna recycle from when it came to performances and her music? She had basically no one since there weren't any pop-stars like Madonna yet. That's why she was so successful and still is today, there was no one like her and everything she did was a breath of a fresh-air. Other pop-stars either quickly or slowly fade away since we've already seen it before.

@aguilerainmanila no, born this way sounds like this song, not the other way around;)

@mrchiki23 he already used the up-lighting tiles in one of his music video's (shame on me, don't remember which one right now)

I'm totally loving the attitude she has here:) and I think it's one of her better live performances!

@brendoness I agree. I am a fan of Both (grew up on Madonna), and I think the copying accusations from both fanbases is lazy and silly. They both have undeniable similarities, alot in fact, but Gaga isn't copying, she's extending from the work/text and making her own commentary or completely rewriting it. With Madonna, mostly younger Gaga fans don't understand her at all and completely miss the point of her work. I blame the last 10-12 years of an incredibly manufactured music industry.
