If you’ve heard Lady Gaga’s song, Born This Way and it immediately made you think of Madonna’s song, Express Yourself — then you’re not alone. As soon as the album came out, fans of the singers were drawing comparisons.

Up until now, Madonna has been pretty mum on the topic. When responding to the comparisons, Lady Gaga only offered that she is a huge fan of Madonna’s. Now, Madonna is giving her own opinion on the songs.

In a new interview, Madonna said, “I thought ‘what a wonderful way to redo my song.’ I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was…interesting.”

Either way, they are both good songs. What we are wondering is why it took so long for Madge to address the copycat rumors. Lady Gaga’s album was released in May of 2011 and she has waited until 2012 to talk about it. Could it be out of respect for Gaga? Or could it be because she’s releasing her twelfth album, M.D.N.A., this year?

What do you think? What do you have to say about Madge’s comments on Gaga’s album? It was pretty obvious that Gaga refurbished the song to suit her own needs, but should Madonna have waited so long to say something about it? Thoughts?

Lady Gaga’s song Judas was written about an ex-boyfriend of hers!

Just days after she announced her split from ex-boyfriend Luc Carl, she has revealed that the song was about a lover who broke her heart.

The video contains biblical themes as she plays the role of Mary Magdalene with Jesus and Judas in a biker gang. Christian groups bashed the singer for the imagery in the video. Now, Gaga says that the religious overtones in the video hide a deeper personal meaning behind the lyrics.

In a new interview, she said, “I’ve had a lot of ex-boyfriends betray me – a**holes, we all have them. I began to write a song about an ex-lover who betrayed me, who loved heavy metal music.”

She went on to reveal, “And then I thought about the biblical implications and how Judas was the betrayer. And once I thought about what I wanted to do with the video. Judas didn’t really betray Christ because he was part of the prophecy. So I thought a more liberating way to tackle the message of the song – we attack the idea by saying my ex betray me and this person haunts me, but I forgive them.”

Did Luc Carl betray her????

Lady Gaga really stole the show at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards with a whopping eight wins out of the 13 that she was nominated for.

On stage, she revealed her upcoming album would be titled Born This Way. She even got a new tattoo to commemorate the occasion. Now, she’s giving us an inside look into the new album.

In a new interview, she said, “The album is my absolute greatest work I’ve ever done and I’m so excited about it. The message, the melodies, the direction, the meaning, what it will mean to my fans and what it will mean in my own life – it’s utter liberation. I knew I had an ability to change the world when I started to receive letters from fans: ‘You saved my life…’ ‘I’m gay and my parents threw me out…’ My fans have related to me as a human being and as a non-human being – as a super-human person that I truly am.”

And don’t think that she’s the least bit arrogant about her success, either. She added, “Everyone tells me I’m arrogant, but my music’s the only thing I’ve got, so you’ll have to let me be confident about one thing. I suppose that’s what you can expect from the album: a lot of hit records that will piss people off.”

Can’t wait!

Lady Gaga was looking fierce at tonight’s Video Music Awards. And to celebrate with all of her little monsters, she has just revealed her Fame Monster followup album title – BORN THIS WAY.
