‘Born this Way’ by Lady Gaga has quickly become a popular song among music listeners when the artist decided to release her highly anticipated single two days before the originally scheduled date.
After the release her song rose to the number one spot on iTunes, reflecting just how popular Lady Gaga is among her fan base. Shortly after the release a number of experts of music begin comparing ‘Born this Way’ with songs by Madonna. MTV contacted Lady Gaga experts to share their thoughts on the song after so the initial flood of reactions.
DJ Riddler expressed his opinion of the piece by saying when he first heard ‘Born this Way’ he thought of Madonna’s ‘Vogue, then ‘Express Yourself’ with the end change sounding familiar to ‘Like a Prayer’.
DJ Uch said, “When I took a listen, initially, I thought that was a stretch, but the hook is definitely a tinge of vintage Madonna. Still, those songs came out when Gaga was in diapers, and I’m sure Gaga’s core audience don’t have the nostalgia because they, too, were babies or not even alive. Truth is that all artists borrow from the work of early pioneers and the only ones who notice the similarities are those old enough to remember way back when. ”
Junior Sanchez, a Music Producer from the Logo Network, thinks there is nothing wrong with borrowing a bit from other artists, saying there should be nothing wrong with this idea at all.
Although not discrediting the idea, producer Junior Sanchez wasn’t ready to compare a legacy like Madonna to Gaga just yet, saying “Gaga is genius, but to compare her to Madonna so early on in her career is a little premature. Madonna has been with us for three decades now.”
Although Sanchez admitted that Gaga has the potential to change his perception and that of the pop industry, just like Madonna has done for many years.
