Exactly. It's particularly ridiculous because neither has made a single negative comment about the other; it's just fans feeling threatened. It was Christina who made the catty comment about Gaga so it's not like this is being made up. It has been well-documented. In an interview with the LA Times, Christina addresses the internet accusations that she has ripped off Lady Gaga's look wholesale.
"You know, that’s funny that you mention that," she said.
"This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure.
"I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect." This subject has been addressed every which way during the years so I will just stop here. I know all that. We were talking about Britney vs. Gaga.

A pop show and the bitch can sing!”She said in a interview that she was a fan of Britney when she was younger.

LOL People will twist a quote to make it good or bad regardless. However, i think it's mainly GaGa vs Britney STANS than the actual girls themselves.
It can be annoying going to a Britney video where a Britney fan brings up GaGa and then everyone swears GaGa fans started it. Vice versa. But it's a fanwar, what do i expect?

^ When has Justin ever received any kind of backlash over his attitude? He's definitely cocky, but not so much that he comes off as a douche. Kanye, on the other hand... First, is it sad that I was thinking "Hmmm, Bieber or Timberlake?" LOL! Anyway, I am shocked you have never heard anyone giving him any kind of backlash. I am not alone when I say that the word I would use to describe J.T. is "douche" which is really ironic considering you specifically said he doesn't come off that way. He does to me and to many others I know.

Men and certain females are allowed to be cocky. You can say Justin/Kanye had backlashes, but they both released hugely successful projects soon after this "backlash" A female gets the rep for being cocky and her career is pretty much over unless you are Pink Its really sad and pathetic that society is like that, but it is what it is. You cannot change small-minded people. I think Gaga avoids getting a real backlash so far from her fans because she engages with them so much and constantly thanks them, etc. The only people I really see upset with her attitude are fans of other artists.

Lady Gaga—self-titled Queen of Gays—accused of plagiarizing Madonna in new song February 7th, 2011 6:05 pm PT Orange County’s Equality Project has constantly condemned Lady Gaga for giving gay people a bad image. However, Lady Gaga has not only faced accusations of racism this past week, but people who have heard her much-hyped “Born This Way” single say it is strikingly similar to Madonna’s “Vogue,” “Deeper and Deeper,” and “Express Yourself.” “Born This Way sounds like a modern 'Vogue' and 'Express Yourself', with a bit of 'Deeper & Deeper' thrown in for good measure,” says music site Popjustice.com. On Twitter, several people have said the same thing, even suggesting that Lady Gaga should pay Madonna. There has been no response from Interscope records. Have you heard “Born This Way” yet? Do you think Madonna may have grounds for a lawsuit?

I don't know about that article, but I fully believe the Vogue part. I said it would sound like Vogue the moment the lyrics were posted.
But I don't see how similarities between songs equals plagiarism? Don't all songs these days resemble some older song or another?

The music industry would be verging on nonexistence if artists had to pay each and every other artists that influenced them.

www.lady-gaga.net/has cover art for single. Even thought it's all tagged UMG and lady-gaga.net, it looks very good IMO. I would love if that had been the album cover....

Looks like Bugs Bunny & Jerry Hall's respective plastic surgeons were caught in a cross fire. I would love if that had been the album cover.... I'm pulling for that ass shot to resurface as the sleeve. It's gorgeous.

untagged: She just twitpic'd it and added Trois Jours. (Three Days) as long as there's a unicorn on the final album cover in some way shape or form, I'm cool.

What's up with the warped facial features and shoulder? Something about being forced to feel like an alien your whole life, yada yada?

Maybe they're trying to make her slowly morph into a unicorn. Sounds stupid, but it's the only thing I see when I look at it. haha

She might have liked her before she got as big as she is now. Not that I believe it but it is possible...but she could easily be talking about Britney which is obvious but also those criticized for actually singing live when they don't sound great (Katy/Rihanna/Kesha etc.) That was like 5 months old anyway.

I think it's great. She looks pretty but in a not-pretty, alien kind of way.

The protuding shoulder blades are kinda nast but I guess it's the aesthetic she is going for. Looking forward to hearing BTW!

I retract my comment; I didn't notice that there were horn like things coming from her face, and that it's all part of the image. I like the single cover.
