It’s just what she does, guys, and when you couple that with her fairground stripper antics, you’ve got one hell of a show, you know?
Here’s the latest barb that Madonna threw at Lady Gaga, and then had the nerve to say that she and Lady Gaga would be on stage together soon:
Friends, frenemies or still enemies?
Madonna has recently been trying to put an end to her ongoing feuds with Elton John and Lady Gaga.
Last month, the 54-year-old MDNA singer dedicated her song “Masterpiece” to John, 65, during a concert in Nice, France. She said she “forgives him” for calling her a “fairground stripper” and saying her career is over. At her concert in Atlantic City on Saturday, Madonna dedicated the same song to Gaga, 26, and said she’d like to collaborate with her.
“You wanna know something? I love her,” she told the crowd. “I love her. I do love her. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.”
“One day, very soon, we’re going to be on stage together. Just you wait,” she added. “You think I’m kidding? I love Lady Gaga.”
During an interview with Newsweek in January 2012, Madonna slammed Gaga’s single “Born This Way” for its similarities to her 1989 song “Express Yourself.” “I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song,” she told the mag. “I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was . . . interesting.”
In April 2012, NME asked Gaga if she noticed her song was a knockoff of Madonna’s hit. “What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about . . . If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression,” Gaga argued. “It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I’m the first f—ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn’t mean I’m a plagiarist, it means that I’m f—ing smart. Sorry.”
So, I know that Lady Gaga probably likes money. I mean, when you become accustomed to a certain lifestyle, your finances kind of depend on your livelihood, right? But I don’t think even Lady Gaga loves money that much that she’d do a sell-out concert, sharing the stage with her arch-nemesis. No, I just couldn’t see it happening. Celebrity Death Match? Maybe. But no way in hell would Lady Gaga allow Madonna to zing her for three hours straight—right before her very eyes.
