That actually sounds like something Gaga herself would even say nowadays tbh. I genuinely thought I was reading a Gaga interview until I saw the tag. If it wasn't for that Madonna quote I totes would've thought this was her too if I just skimmed thru.

I think the BTW video is very fun so... well yes but that's only one opinion on it. I also think the 'Born This Way' video was approached way too seriously. I thought for sure it was her not taking herself seriously till she went on about how she didn't accomplish what she wanted with it or some mess like it was supposed to be speaking to people. I was like uh..? 'Judas' is a case Gaga example. Love the song but sometimes I just wish she would do something just for funsies, not to be this serious deep reflection of her beliefs. Are you talking about LaurieAnn's quote? Gaga didn't say anything like that, afaik.

Tbh I don't think GaGa would ever talk herself up as much as that DJ has. He's even more batshit crazy than the typical GaGa stan imo.
Is there truth to his words? To some extent yes, but I'm sure there are reasons to disagree. I think he is overstating her influence just a tad so it'll really fuck off her haters/detractors either way. Sigh.

He's nuts. This, however, is true. I guess there are a hundred songs that you could put a pitch shift and a BPM change on and loop and make them sound like anything.

Just posting these quotes here: LADY GAGA - Judas: 36.098 (- 0.587) Wow if this doesn't pick up in like 4 days, she might actually need to throw out another single. Third single is already in the works. They're waiting until after this week to see where it goes. ^If the label abandons it, that would be one of the quickest runs, with the video premiering this week and all. It likely will see a boost from that, though. Airplay may be another matter. I gotta tell ya, they aren't happy with its performance at all. I don't know if it's true, but hmm...

As a casual GaGa fan who bought all of her singles pre-BTW, I have to say that I'm very disappointed in the new era. I really dislike both BTW and Judas and can only hope that there are some [what I consider to be] great pop records in consideration for the next single. Personally, I could really do without all of the religious controversy. Been there, done that.

Just for comparison, how did Telephone do at this point on CHR?

According to this site: wweb.uta.edu/faculty/gghunt/charts/Songruns/L/ladygaga/ladygagatelephone.htmHere's the chartlisting: 45-37-32-30-29-27-23-18-16-13-8-8-5-4-2-1-1-1-1-2-4-7-8-11-11 Peak: #1 (4 weeks) Weeks on chart: 25 Weeks in Top 10: 13 It entered the Top 50 at the end of November hence the slow period a month later so it would be hard to compare this with Judas. But judging by the rest of the chart run, it's a much more gradual and slower rise than Judas. It's also odd on a personal note because I didn't really get into Telephone or even start listening to it regularly until late December after it had entered the Top 40. Anyway, it took 11 weeks from its chart entry to enter the Top 10 and an additional 6 before it hit #1. I've no idea how the airplay was though but it was pretty sporadic when it entered the Top 20. At this point I was watching it pretty closely and its bullet dropped and gained quite often. I didn't think it would go to #1.

Rumor has it she performed Americano at the Monster Ball tonight and dedicated it to Mexico. She did :) SPW tweeted about it...I posted the tweet in the BTW album topic She also tweeted this before the show: @ladygaga: Can hear 30,000 Monsters slamming the stadium floor in Guadalajara. It sounds pop revolution, fists pounding furiously. Have a big surprise.

What DJ White Shadow said is completely true. And truthfully, he was just scratching the surface with all the examples of Gaga's contemporaries copying her.

And, God knows I do not want to hear "Gaga started the dance music trend!!!" because everyone here with a lick of sense knows that's a load of bull.

You have to be blind not to see it. I'm not saying they're blatantly ripping her off but there are DEFINITELY GaGa "influences". It's not bad though...like GaGa is influenced by Madonna, a lot of the same trends are being followed by many other musicians. Whether or not they're "original" or not, if GaGa re-started a trend, a lot of artists have been influenced by it. There's simply no denying it.

Bits and pieces from DJ White Shadow's interview: Lady Gaga wrote Born This Way in ten minutes, how long did the song take to produce?A lot longer than 10 minutes. I think we worked on that song the longest actually. Obviously it is a very special song. Everyone wanted it to be perfect. It was a bummer for me when everyone was saying it sounded like a Madonna song. If you know one thing about me, it is that I am absolutely not influenced by Madonna. I think it was bulls**t to be honest. I guess there are a hundred songs that you could put a pitch shift and a BPM change on and loop and make them sound like anything. In addition, there are 5 songs on the radio right now that have the exact same chords and progression. Actually there are 5 songs out that are exactly the same song, on the radio at the same time. Right now. Why doesnβt anyone ever bring that up? Thatis a f**king felony. Lets talk about that! As an added note, how many people have been copying Gaga since she came out? Oh, I have that answer: everyone. Have you seen all the lightning bolts painted on faces, or the one hand eye cover ups during photos, or the exact same promo posters being put up as Gagaβs, or the new popularity of unicorns, or the copycat fake βOh Iβm so cool with the gay communityβ rhetoric? Or how about the fact that there was barely any dance music on the radio until βJust Danceβ came out? Come on motherf**kers, letβs keep it real here. If we are going to talk about who is chasing who, I think we all know the answer to that. So yeah, she did something new, and people had to reach back 20+ years to find a song that could have possibly sounded like it, and that made news? Come on. And I get to watch people try and f**k Gaga all the time and steal her s**t, but guess what? While you were out trying to make the music she made off The Fame, thinking she was making The Fame v2.0, she went and made some next s**t for you to chase for the next 3 years. So, suck on that.Of all of the songs from Born This Way that you produced, which one are you most proud of?All of them. But Government Hooker gives me a rock hard boner that a small statured person could do pull ups on. How would you describe your sound?I make fighting music. I try to make people have such a f**king good time that they literally want to punch someone in the f**king face and then give them a big wet kiss. yea like gaga invited dance music to pop right. all started around blackout mr eye shadow and even earlier Umm. I love how people read things that aren't even there. He clearly said "there was barely any dance music on radio before Just Dance.". Since he said "barely any" doesn't that mean there was SOME on radio? Clearly. If she invented it, there would have been NONE. So he clearly didn't say or imply that she invented it. Oh and no, dance pop was around before Blackout. "Yeah", "SexyBack", and I think even "The Way I Are" all came before Blackout.

There's TONS of people out there who have been MAJORLY influenced by Lady Gaga's image since she came out. Lots of people started wearing "costumes" on stage after she came out too. Not to mention, the whole "dark" image now is very...very in. I'm not saying they're "copying" Gaga, because I don't think they are, but she's definitely been an influence to them image-wise.

......All of those but the XTina one are reaching just a bit don't you think? I'm not saying she hasn't held any kind of influence but it's a bit much to say that everyone is following her lead by the coattails. This also fails to address the issue of sound.

OH. MY. GOD. I feel like it's the same people arguing the same bullshit everytime I come into this thread. I feel like I could write a script of what would be said by each poster. Predictable is a good word to describe these "debates". I need to stop getting sucked into it.

Not at all, especially not Rihanna when Lady Gaga wore something exactly like it before.
As for Adam Lambert, everyone knows he's been influenced by Gaga in many ways, not just image-wise, he's even admitted to it.
It might not seem that way anymore because Lady Gaga's outfits have gotten crazier and crazier and they're completely different from everything she wore in the past, but when she first came out, nobody was dressing like that.
