    Lady Gaga using Whitney Houston to avoid the Madonna Express Yourself imitation. I’m sure if Christina Aguilera was not in that tribute she would’ve said she thought of Aretha! That award had nothing to do With Born This Way she was saving her so called originality!

  3. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    LOLOLOL AT PEOPLE SAYING SHE IS AVOIDING THE EXPRESS YOURSELF STUFF.

    SHE DID AN INTERVIEW FOR INDIAN TELEVISION AND HERE IS WHAT SHE SAID:

    Amrita Tripathi: There is a lot of comparison to Madonna, especially with this latest song. How do you react to that? I remember you saying on the Jay Leno show that for you, Madonna is a queen.

    Lady Gaga: She is the queen, Madonna is the queen. I have so much and adoration for her. Being compared to her is unbelievably flattering, but in truth there is no one that can compare with Madonna. She is the queen!

    PROOF WITH VIDEO HERE : http://ibnlive.in.com/news/i-cant-wait-to-come-to-india-lady-gaga/143405-45-75.html

    STAY MAD H***.

  5. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    @TINASOUTHAFRICA

    SO TRUE, I NOTICED EXACTLY WHAT CACATTENTION W**** WAS DOING, USING WHITNEY TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT SHE COMPLETELY STOLE MADONNAS SOUND AND IMAGE, SHE IS A FAKE NO TALENT GIMMICK FUELED DRUGGY.

  6. uknowme February 15, 2011

    Gaga sounds like she high and she talk all kinds of crazy plain and simple Born This Way is Express Yourself and if she is writing her entire album im guess this won’t be the last Madonna comparison.

  7. the kiddz February 15, 2011

    I want to like her, I really do. But, something about her comes off as egotistical. She’s MAD talented and her first album set the standard for Pop music this era. Born This Way is a joke, I don’t need cheesy lyrics to feel empowered and comfortable with my sexuality. And there is nothing wrong with being inspired by Whitney, but let’s get real; there is nothing “Whitney” about her music or vocals.

  8. Nichole February 15, 2011

    Dead @ this chick using Whitney to avoid the controversy.

    She never mentioned Whitney once, and now all of a sudden she’s GaGa’s savior? Before then, it was all Madonna, Madonna, Madonna. LOL. Give me an effin break.

  9. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    @THE KIDDZ

    @NICHOLE

    CO SIGN !!!

  10. ReallyGaga February 15, 2011

    This b**** needs to stop, this don’t make no damn sense. Who she think is buying this random Whitney Idol talk all of a sudden, she throwing shade at Madonna after jacking her track. I betting we will be getting a Madonna 80/90s era album from Gaga. How she going to rock a Madonna hair do at the Grammy Awards and the bring up Whitney name b**** stop.

  11. the kiddz February 15, 2011

    @GAGAISLOVE

    That was such a pageant queen answer. All she said was Madonna was “ok” with it, does that mean she intentionally looked to “Express Yourself” for BTW?

  12. KYLE February 15, 2011

    HEY T***** YOUR VOCALS WILL NEVER BE ON WHITNEYS LEVEL. THIS CHICK USED TO BE NORMAL, BUT SHE LOST HER DAMN MIND SOMETIME AFTER THE FAME ERA.

    IN OTHER NEWS, HIAM VIDEO IN 2 DAYS, WHOS EXCITED???????

  13. keta February 15, 2011

    U all need to youtube when gaga was stephanie- I think she is saying the vocals and singing is influened by whitney not the melody. I believe her

  14. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    ”The message of Born This Way? Well, although the lyrics are quite simple, it’s quite complex in message. I always feel that in music, the best way to do it is to say it simple. And I wanted the song to be really direct. I didn’t want to sugarcoat it with metaphors. I didn’t want to do any poetic wizardry with the lyrics. I wanted to say exactly what I mean. I wanted everyone to challenge themselves to imagine a world with a new race – a race within the race of humanity, a race that bears no prejudice. I really wanted to challenge ourselves to dream of this new utopia where we all live in harmony and be free of judgement. I feel very in touch with the disenfranchised communities of the young people all over the world. It’s not just for them but for everyone. I think everyone in their life feels insecure at some point and this was the time for me to write this song because I now have a platform upon which I am some kind of a ‘role-model’ and I wanted to do the right thing. This song is so much bigger than me, way bigger than me actually. So many people could have sung it, you know. It’s not just a Gaga record or a record for myself. It’s something I could have heard so many powerful women singing over the years.” Lady Gaga

  15. Neickha February 15, 2011

    Seriously though, I was a little shocked when she thanked Whitney Houston at the grammys but Im sure many have inspired her. Just Whitney the most. I thought that if she wanted to create an empowerment song it could’ve been more intricate. But I can see she had good intentions. When she sang a bit of it at the VMA i thought “Oh this song is going to be a great ballad”… well it turned out to be opposite. All the older generation has said it sounds like a Madonna song… Idk. I just think that she is genuine but, you can tell she is missing/hiding something because of her Outlandish behavior and outfits that she wears. I dont think she is yet comfortable with herself yet.

  16. Nichole February 15, 2011

    @ Keta. If you look at the people that GaGa has been influenced by, Whitney was never mentioned.

    GaGa’s influences:

    1. Madonna.
    2. Britney Spears
    3. Blondie
    4. Grace Jones
    5. Freddie Mercury
    6. Michael Jackson

    If Whitney is such an influence, then where was she when GaGa was mentioning her influences since 2008? GaGa mentioning Whitney as an influence, is as big of a joke as when Britney used her as one. Neither one of them show a Whitney influence.

  17. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    About winning on the Grammys:

    “I was so shocked, I have to tell you. I was sitting at my seat, and thinking: “You are not going to win, you are not going to win.” Come up with a gracious smile. And they said the Monster… my father did this sort of Fred Flintstone kind of scream from his seat. It was so funny and it just got so emotional. It was like when I was a kid, my dad and I would run the rollercoaster together and he made that same sort of noise when we first heard about the Grammys. So it was just like a rollercoaster ride and when I got up there, I just thought about my sister and everything we have been through and our family because I don’t come from a wealthy family. My family really worked so hard for everything we have. Both my parents were the first from their generation to go to college. So just for the legacy of my family, it was such an incredible moment. Whitney was my major vocal inspiration when I was young. We used to listen to her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner over and over again. She has an angel in her throat and I promised myself that the first time I win a Grammy that I would thank Whitney on TV. I did that last year too but that was not on TV. So this year I had to thank her again.””

    SEE? WHITNEY WAS HER V-O-C-A-L inspiration. Stop talking s***. AND she spoke about Madonna saying how much she admired her and that she was flattered to be compared to her. She said MADONNA IS THE QUEEN and repeated it 4 TIMES TODAY.

  18. TheMan4u February 15, 2011

    exactly Keta, GaGa is a way better singer than madonna ever was, so of course she would be influenced by the best and that’s whitney. She has influenced most of all of your favs. the most influential vocalist ever, Whitney houston.

  19. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    VOCAL INSPIRATION.
    VOCAL INSPIRATION.
    NOT INFLUENCE.

    Damn.

  20. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    GAGA SAID WHITNEY WAS A VOCAL INSPIRATION.

    (Sorry I keep repeating it because most of the people here are retarded and do not understand)

  21. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    GAGA WILL SOON BE GOING THE SAME WAY AS AMY WINEHOUSE, THE DRUGS ARE TAKING OVER HER MIND

  22. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    @THE KIDDZ

    Of course people can blame her for not really talking about it more precisely, and just saying that Madonna was the queen, and okay with it but… still it doesn’t mean that she is using Whitney to avoid the controversy anyway, because she wasn’t talking about the melody, but in terms of vocals.

  23. KYLE February 15, 2011

    @GAGAISLOVE

    GURL HUSH. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR DELUSIONS.

  24. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    I MEAN WHITNEY GOD DAMN HOUSTON, HOW DARE HE COMPARE HIMSELF TO HER.

    NORTH POLE SOUTH POLE
    WHITNEY CACA

    THESE CHICKS ARE ON A DIFFERENT SPECTRUM, CACA WAS JUST ATTEMPTING SOME DAMAGE CONTROL TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE BLATANT MADONNA SWAGGAJACKERY,

    GAGA IS DONE.

  25. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    @GAGAISLOVE

    IT’S ONE THING STANNING FOR SOMEONE AND ANOTHER BEING A DELLUSIONAL B****, ACCEPT CACA ISTALKING S*** AND MOVE ON.

  26. KAT DELUNA FAN February 15, 2011

    I HAVE LOST SO MUCH RESPECT FOR HER THE LAST 2 WEEKS (USING WHITNEY IS REALLY THE WORST THING SHE COULD EVER DO TO ME).

    AND SHE STILL PIMPING THE GAY COMMUNITY

  27. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    Lol @KYLE

    I’m delusional for quoting what Gaga says about Born this way? How is that?
    And may I understand why you keep posting on every f****** Gaga post on here?
    You y’all keep checking for Gaga? Lol.

    and @Beyoncestan Gaga didn’t compared herself to Whitney. -__- She said she was a vocal inspiration.

    WHITNEY SINGS BETTER THAN MADONNA. AND GAGA SAID WHITNEY’S VOICE INSPIRED HER FOR BORN THIS WAY, NOT THE RHYTHM OF THE SONG.

  28. Nichole February 15, 2011

    I put inspiration, and influence under the same category. If Whitney “inspired her vocals,” then she obviously had an influence over her vocals as well.

    @ Bey Stan. Co-sign. We aren’t taking anything from Whitney, but Lady GaGa doesn’t show the slightest ‘Whitney inspiration.” Her whole career has been built on being a carbon copy of Madonna, and she has yet to record ballads showcasing her voice.

    Lets hear those Whitney influenced ballads.

  29. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    GAGA said : ”She has an angel in her throat” about Whitney.

    She is NOT talking about WHITNEY’S BALLADS. JUST HER VOICE.

    WHY PEOPLE CANNOT UNDERSTAND? o___o loool it’s not that hard

  30. John February 15, 2011

    Why would people not believe that Gaga could have been inspired by Whitney. Youtube her before she was gaga when she was Stephanie. She was singing with no crazy looks.

    Whitney is known for singing and vocals
    madonna is known for dancing and shocking

    Whitney and Madonna were the two biggest female acts during the 90’s and a large part of the 90s. Makes perfect sense to me.

    Whitney is an ICON and a True Legend!

  31. TheMan4u February 15, 2011

    Exactly @John

    Britney Spears and Rihanna listed Whitney as an influence as well doesn’t mean they will sing like her or have her type of songs, whats wrong with you people?

    And GaGa said she said the SAME THING last year, it just wasn’t televised.

  32. WHITEJESUS February 15, 2011

    well first it was Madonna and Madonna’s camp starts shading her so now its Whitney.um i um i dont know maybe she’s high(again) 😐

    OMFG IM LOOKIN FORWARD TO BRITNEYS NEW VIDEO, ITS GONNA SLAY.

    I WISH SHE HAD RELEASED IT ON THE DAY GAGA PREMIERED BORN THIS WAY LMFAO, BRITNEY WOULD HAVE STOLE CACAS THUNDER

  35. Nichole February 15, 2011

    Then she should go back to being “Stephanie,” and showcase her Whitney influenced vocals.

  36. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    SORRY “YAWN THIS WAY”

  37. Infamous Doll February 15, 2011

    Honey that “born this way” is a revamp of “express yourself” by Madonna. The look, dance and composition of the song, everything down to almost the tee. She may not have the regular voice like Madonna because hers is much better but she was definitely INFLUENCED by MADONNA.

  38. Ariana February 15, 2011

    I already knew about Madonna (duh) and Freddie Mercury, but Houston?
    I agree that Gaga has better vocals than Madonna, but her statement -where she praises Whitney as an inspiration- would have sounded more genuine if this had come out years or at least months ago. But saying it, after she’s in the spotlight for the whole Express Yourself controversy seems more like a way out than a reality.
    Whitney has definitely inspired to some of the best and most versatile singers, but I have serious doubts on this one.

  39. uhh February 15, 2011

    She is just lying. ITs clear that she is copying madonna, so to try to deflect from her blatant biting of all things madonna, she is throwing whitney in there. That just seem so random and convienient.

  40. BEYONCE STAN February 15, 2011

    WHITNEY HOUSTON ONCE SAID TO XTINA THAT HER VERSION OF “RUN TO YOU” WAAS THE BEST COVER OF ONE OF HER SONGS THAT SHE HAD EVER HEARD…..

    XTINA HAS A 5 OCTAVE VOCAL RANGE

    CACAS VOCAL RANGE IS ABOUT 2.

    GURL STOP.

  41. Nichole February 15, 2011

    @ Ariana. Very well said.

    We all know Whitney influenced the whole universe, because she clearly set the ultimate standard for female vocalist (aside from Aretha) and she is a legend and once upon a time an amazing singer with a voice that was out of this world. If I was a vocalist, Whitney would have definitely been one of my main influences.

    But for GaGa to just randomly drop her name in light of the controversy surrounding her, is rather bizarre.

  42. WHITNEY FAN February 15, 2011

    HAHAHHAHA

    I see lots of Madonna Stans & Jealous Lambs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That’s EXACTLY what I wanted to see!!! YES!!!

    Madonna “dreams of being” Whitney Houston and Mariah doesn’t want to admit that she looked up to Whitney when she was young!

  43. MARIAHCAREYQUEEN February 15, 2011

    Lady Gaga used to be a great singer who looked up to Whitney, Mariah, etc. before she was polluted by The W****, Madonna. I would buy Gaga’s music if she returned to her roots!!!

    MARIAH >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MADONNA

  44. Julius February 15, 2011

    @ Gagaislove- You said it very well. In fact you made me smile. There are soooo many haters out there, no talent fools who are jealous of Gaga and everything she stands for. People Like this Kyle who are shallow simple minded ignorant jerks. People who I might add love to point out how Gaga Ripped off Madonna but then dont actually have their own opinion, just the same opinion repeated by others. There really is no point in wasting time trying to change the minds of the ignorant. They simply don’t get it and you know what, thats ok. They dont need to. Everyone has the right to an opinion, to bad these fools just show how dumb and imbecilic they are with theirs. To all the haters, the Lil Monsters just don’t care. Millions of records sold, world wide fame, 3 Grammys last night alone… Sometimes you really don’t even need words. 🙂

  45. JJFAN1814 February 15, 2011

    Yall can stay press over Gaga…Just won 3 grammys and her new single is outplaying your favs and about to debut at #1 on the BB Hot 100.

    Stay the f*** mad.

  46. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 15, 2011

    LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO @ LADY DOO DOO LIES! ARTISTS THAT WHITNEY HAS INFLUENCED SHOW THAT INSPIRATION FROM THE BEGINNING! MARIAH, CELINE, JENNIFER HUDSON, LEONA LEWIS, KELLY CLARKSON AND EVERY OTHER SINGER OUT THERE HAS MENTIONED WHITNEY AS AN INSPIRATION AND THEY AAAAALLLLLLLLL SHOWED IN VOCALLY AND TALKED ABOUT WHITNEY IN COUNTLESS OF INTERVIEWS! LADY CACA HAS NO WHITNEY IN HER AND IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO USE EVERYONE FROM THE GAYS TO MADONNA AND NOW THE ONE AND ONLY WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON!

    LADY CACA PLEASE STOP INSULTING WHITNEY BECAUSE SHE ALREADY THINKS YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES ARE A BIGGER JOKE THAN YOU ARE!

  47. MT February 15, 2011

    ^^@ BEYONCE STAN

    I FELL LIKE SCARLET AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO!!!! LMAOOOOOOOO

  48. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 15, 2011

    MADONNA AND HER TEAM KNOWS CACA IS A HUGE KNOCKOFF OF MADONNA AND MADONNA IS NOT THE KIND TO RIP ARTISTS WHOM SHE HAS INFLUENCED SO INDEED SHE WOULD GIVE CACA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!

  49. Royalkev February 15, 2011

    I hate that I have so much word vomit for this woman, but she is someone that is so pathetic! I think she sits and conjure up ways to manipulate her fans and the media. She is a con artist. People that can’t see past her is falling victim to her scemes. It just so sad! She praises herself way too often and makes it out as if she’s so incredible God. Everything from this groundbreaking, life changing album to her doing Laurie Ann Gibson’s choreography and finding a way to sing live at the same time is always epic! … If she do say so herself! It’s so ridiculous! The Whitney mention – is total B.S. all day! Whitney would never…!!!!!

HOW DARE LADY CACA ABUSE HER GOOD NAME LIKE THIS JUST FOR PUBLICITY! SHE IS THE BIGGEST FAME W**** EVER AND IT IS FUNNY THAT SOME OF WHITNEY FANS ARE NOW GAGA CRAZY JUST BECAUSE CACA MENTIONED HER AS AN INSPIRATION. WHITNEY WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU ALL!

  51. Anthony The Great February 15, 2011

    Whitney= Real Raw Pure Talent

    Lady Gaga= A gimmicky attention w****.

    But hey what can I say my girl Whit has influenced nearly everyone.

  52. Latin February 15, 2011

    Please,Manlady CAca c***, you got high…are you buried in coke?
    She is the most ridiculous female singer that I have ever sing in my whole life…
    Never say nothig about Whitney…
    The only singer was inspired by Whitney perfectly is Christina Aguilera…she has the incredible vocal range in this s*** industry called usa…
    Born this way is a b******* joke compared to Beautiful….
    I hope she dosent say Aretha or Etta James inspired her so she will be f***** up 4ever…
    Go to rehab,lady caca…you are looser….filthy b****..
    Christina aguilera is much better than you and she showed us up in Grammy’s tribue…
    you are pack of dryshits!Suck your own c***

  53. Julius February 15, 2011

    To all the Whitney fans right now blowing up your stupid asses, I love Whitney. I have always loved Whitney…. but lets be real…
    Where were all of you when her and Bobby took a ride on the Crack Train?
    Or When she got busted in the airport for having over and ounce of pot?
    Or when she was on the wacked out reality show?
    Or when she tried to restart her career, what 3 times now?
    Or on the last tour when those “AMAZING” “Pure talent vocals” of hers got booed off stage during a concert she kept her fans waiting 2 hours to come back out to for a clothing change?

    I still love Whitney to death, but you people who hate on Gaga have no class, non what so ever.

  54. Luke February 15, 2011

    For me, the most female singer ispired by whitney is Xtina..when you listen to Can’t hold us,Hurt down or Walk away or Lady Marmalade it reminds us of whitney…
    How about Lady Caca?
    She is f****** joking to us…what did she drink that night?
    She really needs to come back to rehabe cuz she is a wholesome brainless s*** singer…
    She left whitney houston in a embarrasing situation sayint that…
    If she ispired her,Lady Caca, sing as Xtina did one of the Whitney songs….
    Sing I have nothing and show us how stupid and brainless you are!

  55. matt February 15, 2011

    to all the mind numbingly thick haters, her VOCAL INSPIRATION, once again, VOCAL, is Whitney Houston. Madonna has influenced her in her stage spectacles, Madonna has never been about the voice, she is the queen of pop for the way she changed music. And by the way, haters coming on here as soon as a post about her comes up, need to get a grip of reality, nothing you say is gonna stop this force in her tracks, she dominated itunes all over the world in one day, set records, soar to the top of Hot 100 in just three days of sales selling 450k copies of her HIT single, she adores Madonna, Madonna’s folks gave Born This Way a thumbs up. If that doesn’t sort everything out for you then you really must be a blatent hater or love her that much to not admit it 😉 Join the Gaga band wagon, you know you want to 🙂

  56. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    @JOHN EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @JULIUS
    You are soooooo right.
    Usually, I don’t really defend Gaga here because I don’t think she needs it, and these delusional haters just won’t listen nor understand. They say she’s terrible, yet they check every information about her, they keep checking and even taking their time to comment. LOL.
    And while they are sitting in front of their computer, my queen’s just won 3 grammys& Born this way is slaying, breaking records… SOOOO I guess they can say whatever they like, it just won’t stop Gaga’s world domination, sad isn’t it?

    x)

  58. AuntieJackie February 15, 2011

    Lady Gaga is very gracious. She’s honest about inspirations, but that isn’t the real issue about ‘Born This Way’. This issue is that people in music (popular music) always seem to be referential instead of creative. It’s getting to be a problem now.

    I’m not trying to compare the talented, educated force that is Lady Gaga to Rihanna, a no-talent hack. But, a good example is the ‘Rude Boy’ and ‘S&M’ video. Those videos were so referential, the bordered on copying, with S&M just being an outright copy of David Lachapelle’s work and ‘Rude Boy’ lifting an amazing amount from pop artist Keith Harring, Andy Warhol and M.I.A.’s previous work. Rihanna is an idiot and has no idea about these artists, so the Lady Gaga situation is different.

    But what I’m trying to say is–there is an overall LACK of originality (or at least and effort to be original) in the industry. Even from one of the most original-ish artists we have, Lady Gaga.

  59. Royalkev February 15, 2011

    @ Yes, exactly Born this way equals express yourself! How dare she!!! LOL… Seriously, I’ve NEVER been so irked by any artist ever in my life! When she mentioned Whitney’s good name I wanted to yoke her up right through my television. I don’t know why she can’t admit that the song is a Madonna remix. I swear she think that Madonna is so pleased with her and so impressed! Madonna is probably laughing at her every step of the way and coaching her while she’s making a completely fool of herself. I can see her advising her, “yes write those lyrics over – it was a hit then and it can be one now”… Then going home and laughing hysterically with her daughter Lourdes. Gaga have no clue that she will drop her as soon as her star fades(like she sort of did with Britney). With Britney, she knew their would be a comeback though so she teamed up with her on her tour. I can’t wait ’til the world see Gaga for the simple creature she really is.

    What really gets me though is how there fools dont actually have anything to say. Its all the same garbage repeated time and time again. 1 to 2 tasteless comments repeated over and over. I love how people says shes and attention grabbing w**** the most… OMFG SHES A GOD DAM POP STAR!!! HELLLOOOO??? They all are. Xtina in dirty, Madonna in everything, Brittney in everything… lol its like wow grow up. I love all these artists for their own unique talent.. I have respect for all music and those who make it, to bad others can’t do the same. Maybe one day though… In a world full of Lil Monsters. 🙂

    I do agreed with you…but I can not stand this Caca said about her vocal inspiration..it was rude with Whitney and her fans…,got it?
    Whitney has one of the most incredible voice of our time,Manlady Caca is a s*** singer….she wont never make my bush shiver with her tainted voice…she doesnt have a inner peace..she is empty vocally…..
    I hope she receives Madonna’s forgiveness about her lies and rip-off…

  66. BORN THIS WAY EQUALS EXPRESS YOURSELF February 15, 2011

    MATT! STFU! MADONNA DIDN’T GIVE BORN THIS WAY A THUMBS UP! HER TEAM CAME OUT AND TOLD GAGA THAT EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT! THEY KNOW CACA IS TAKING IN HEAT FOR RIPPING OFF EXPRESS YOURSELF AND PROBABLY FELT SORRY FOR THE GIRL! IT WAS TYPICAL OF MADONNA’S TEAM TO RESPOND THAT WAY BECAUSE MADONNA IS CACA’S INFLUENCE! MADONNA WOULD NEVER SAY WHAT SHE TRULY THINKS OF BTW!

    ROYAL KEV I AGREE WITH YOU BUT MADONNA HAS A GENUINE LOVE FOR BRITNEY WHICH IS WHY SHE HAS WORKED WITH HER MORE THAN SHE HAS EVER WORKED WITH THE OTHER YOUNG MADONNA CLONES! MADONNA IS NOT THAT MUCH OF A DUET COLLABORATOR BUT SHE SEES BRITNEY AS A YOUNG MADONNA AND SHE IS VERY SELECTIVE OF THE PEOPLE SHE WORKS WITH! IF NOT THEN SHE WOULD BE WORKING WITH CHRISTINA, RIHANNA AND LADY GAGA AS MUCH AS SHE HAS WORKED WITH BRITNEY!

    @LUKE I’m brainless. Oh really.
    First, please, learn how to type properly.
    And you can’t express your opinion without insulting and using mean words, sweetheart?
    You are wishing death on someone you don’t even know personally?
    And why should I shut my f****** mouth? You are scared to face the truth, sweetness?

    You really sound mad, angry and pressed and I really feel sorry for you, you maybe just need a hug because your heart seems so full of hate.
    If you hate Gaga at the point you want her to die ( which is strange&scary because she obviously didn’t do nothing to you personally ), then just ignore her because you will hurt yourself even more because of her success.

    And by the way, Hate is very unhealthy.

    @Luke

    Just curious how old are you? Because you spell like your 11. Just sayen 😉

  72. Kisses February 15, 2011

    Wow, LadyGaga brings out the demon in people 😆

    While I will admit that I didnt know Whitney Houston was a inspiration to her, Im not going to sit here and dissect on why she thanked her for her Grammy, and why shes talking about her. Some of you all act like its impossible. This is “The Voice” were talking about people. Nippy is not only talented,but she has accomplished so much in her career amd has broken down many musical barriers. The women is legendary and well respected in the music industry. Lets not get brand new people…smh. Im not even a Gaga fan, but some of you are doing extremely too much…

  73. Luke February 15, 2011

    GagaIsLove
    What the hell you talking about?
    I dont hater her…..I am deeply sorry for your unhealthy mind mand musical taste…
    I didnt talk to you, it person…
    she is scaring as you are….her nose is bigger than your ass…
    I hate when someone tries to confront me just because of my thoughs about…
    So dont get in the way and I will tell what I want about your clown,b****…
    Mirror mirro on the wall who is most pathetic fan around the worl..never gagaislove is..she is so a f****** s***..and Caca is a badass b****!

  74. Royalkev February 15, 2011

    @ Luke, agreed! Comparing these 2 women or even mentioning them in the same sentence is a huge injustice to Whitney! I have no idea why Whitney is getting caught up in the mix of this nonesense! Gaga’s music is wacky and her voice is extremely empty (like you’ve just said). I feel nothing at all, when I listen to her. It always seems like a big joke. I don’t know what may be more so , her music or her singing. When she goes all gospel on you like she’s really belting, it’s hilarious. The only thing that tops it is BTW’s awkward choreography!

    CACA MENTIONING ONE OF MY FAVES MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE!! ISN’T SHE AWARE THAT WHITNEY LAUGHS AT HER RIDICULOUS COSTUMES EVERYDAY??

  78. WHITEJESUS February 15, 2011

    madonna says she likes gagas song she should have spoke up earlier now she’s on about whitney.

  79. kim February 15, 2011

    What i liked the most was: born this way is just the begining of the album. Im sure this album will be epic. Cant wait to listen to the other tracks

  80. GagaIsLove February 15, 2011

    “Born This Way is the marijuana to the rest of the album’s heroin” – Lady Gaga.

  81. JohnVidal February 15, 2011

    Are some people on TGJ retarded in reality???? I mean, I thought it was just stan wars always and all that for fun. But I´m beggining to think there are so many people retarded on here!
    Hell, I´m not a fan of Gaga but I´m sure to some people I seem like a stan cos lately I´m defending her much. But I can´t can´t with retarded people
    It was a surprise to me the Whitney thing on the grammys. But it was a good surprise. Whitney or Mariah are my idols. Every f****** one that is in their 20´s and 30´s have been amazed by these women while growing up. When gaga and me were growing Whitney was the queen of the world. believe me, the bodyguard era is something nobody can compare in terms of greatness, worldwide popularity and respect from all people, from kids to my grand mother for that woman. No Beyonce, no Madonna, no nowadays puppets have achieved that.
    So WTH is the problem with Gaga adoring Whitney´s voice??????? Are u people retarded?? She hasn´t said her voice is like Whitney´s or something. She has not that type of voice, she has other type of voice so why should we be seeing something of Whitney on Gaga´s voice??? She just said Whitney is incredible. That´s it! And she has thanked her for all the times she listened to her in her house and was amazed and happy for hearing that out of this world talent. I´d do the same if I were a big new star (cos u can say whatever u want but Gaga is bigger than Bey, Britney and the others right now and by far). I´d do it. I´d took the mic and give thanks to Whitney, Mariah and others for making my life happier thought happy and rough times, day after day.
    Anyone has a problem with THAT??????????
    It´s annoying people saying nonsense over and over again. It´s annoying seeing people that like pure garbage and untalented people like Britney Spears talking s*** every f****** day on here. Do u even have self-steem? It´s ridiculous
    I´m not a Gaga fan but she shits on most of your favorites even if she is crazy, weird or whatever.

  82. REALTALK 101 February 15, 2011

    Lady CaCa (I like that) has never been original that’s the difference between her and Madonna. Not only is “Born This Way” a Madonna rip but the verses are straight “TLC Waterfalls”. This chic has never been original and is one of the main problems with music today. The Grammys don’t mean sh*t no more. It’s all political BS. I love it when artist get online and tell the truth and if some of you listen you’ll learn a lot about the entertainment industry. CaCa is a gimmick that uses shock (visually and verbally) to hide her lack of.

  83. KaVion February 16, 2011

    I swear @KYLE’S computer must be f***** up. B**** can’t seem to type without all caps. Still f****** with that 97 PC, I see?

    @Kavion

    LMAO! You are too much. He must have that @TC;D v****.

  85. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue February 16, 2011

    I can’t dislike her… she’s too sweet to be disliked.

    But citing Whitney Houston as an inspiration for BTW… it did just come out of nowhere. It’s just that she has spoken of her musical influences NUMEROUS times before, and not once did she ever mention Whitney, which is odd for someone who grew up on her.. But oh well, who are we to tell who she is and isn’t influenced by.

    Also, I can’t help but do a side-eye when she says she is humble about what she does. I guess she already forgot about her interview with Vogue.

  86. None Ya February 16, 2011

    There’s a difference between musical and vocal influences. Yes GaGa’s vocals are more Madonna-ish but who knows she probably just discovered Nippy. That or Madonna tried some s*** with her.

  87. Green Line February 16, 2011

    I think what Ga Ga was trying to say was that Whitney Houston inspired her, such as emotion in singing, and big career, and always performing “live” not lip-synching. I don’t think she meant the song was necessarily resembling any material of Whitney’s. I personally think that Lady Ga Ga goes too far in her antics all in an effort to sale records. Her biggest influence on her career to me would seem to be Grace Jones, even bigger than being influenced by Madonna. Ga Ga is just blond like Madonna and makes pop songs so we think of Madonna first, but the things she does on stage is more in line with Grace Jones. Except, Grace knows how to do it and keep it artistic at the same time, and she doesn’t go as over the top as Ga Ga. And Grace is a trendsetter not a follower. -By the way, I like Madonna a lot, but who are we to defend her in this particular issue? Didn’t Madonna spend the first 15 years of her career coping Marilyn Monroe? She even had the youngsters thinking that was all original. And on one of her tours she sported the “I Dream of Jeannie” look. I guess she thought nobody would pick up on that, but I did. So yes, Ga Ga does copy, but so does Madonna. Basically a copier off of a copier, which is why the 80s and 70s were the best in music, with the 90s being ok. Whitney though has influence lots of artists in one form or another.

  88. S February 16, 2011

    I love GaGa… her new album sounds interesting. I will def be buying it along with Britney’s Femme Fatale and Beyonce’s new one when it drops…. it’s okay to like and support more than one female artist!! 🙂
    As for the Whitney thing who cares since when has it been a crime for a female artist to be a fan of another female artist… DAMN people get over yourselves music is there to be enjoyed and is there to inspire. Every artist is inspired by artists that came before them even if they are not the type of music that they make or if their vocals are better/worse that’s how music evolves.

  89. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue February 16, 2011

    @ Green Line:

    People keep saying she copied Marilyn Monroe… I guess her video for Material Girls didn’t make it OVERWHELMINGLY clear that the inspiration was deliberate? I guess people can’t get a clue…

  90. WHITEJESUS February 16, 2011

    no wonder she start saying whitney cus now maddona said she gave no such remark.she definitely saw this coming and did this on purpose.

  91. RihannaForever February 16, 2011

    She is SO DAMN ARROGANT. I am sorry, but this woman acts like she’s the damn Messiah. I love her music and her personality is okay (in some interviews, I really like her), but in others, she sounds so arrogant.

  92. GODNEY February 16, 2011

    B**** YOU JACKED MADONNA’S STYLE.
    JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY.

  93. Madonna , xtina ,Britney , icons from USA !!! February 16, 2011

  94. LaLa February 16, 2011

    WHITNEY inspired GAGA to use COKE! *the way BTW created* LOL

  95. fwe March 27, 2011

    are you guys stupid…
    when gaga mentioned whitney she said that she dreamt whitney houston singing born this way- we all know whitney is probably the greatest singer in music history- she never said her art is totally inspired by whitney
    shes not trying to cover up anything
    you guys seriously need to stop comparing gaga to madonna
    didn’t madonna back in the day get sued 3 times for copyright infringement and lost ????
    madonna lost to salvatore acquaviva in a copyright infringement case because her song “frozen” was lifted from his song …
    gaga didn’t copy madonna just like all music today, it was inspired by madonna
    these gaga haters are bashing gaga and it seems like gaga has to create her own f****** genre to be original …
    madonna was not original, gaga is not original, no one is original

  96. fwe March 27, 2011

    okay for those saying gaga “blatantly ripped off madonna” heres a website for you to look at it will shut you right up- http://www.aishamusic.com/lawsuit_many_artists_madonna_stole_from.htm

    OH BY THE WAY FOR THOSE THAT SAID BORN THIS WAY WOULD FLOP, WELL ITS BROKEN ITUNES RECORDS, RADIO PLAY RECORDS (MOST PLAYS IN ONE DAY) AND EVEN BILLBOARD RECORDS- BORN THIS WAY DEBUTED AT NUMBER ONE AND STAYED THERE FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE WEEKS RECORD PREVIOUSLY HELD BY AEROSMITH
