Seems Rihanna won’t be the only diva headed from the charts to the courts. Reports have surfaced ‘Judas’ singer Lady Gaga was hit with a plagiarism suit alleging infringement of the hit song. Plagiarism accusations, brought on by singer Rebecca Francescatti over her 1999 song ‘Juda’, add to the already lengthy list of controversies brought on by the second single from Gaga’s multiplatinum ‘Born This Way’ (see: price, religious leaders, etc).
According to AceShowBiz:
Through a lawyer, she said, “Though the songs are different styles, the composition is the same and the chorus is the same melody.”
We’ll let you be the judge. Take a listen after the jump:
Lady Gaga’s ‘Judas’
Rebecca Francescatt’s ‘Juda’
Adding fuel to the story are claims from Francescatt that her former bass player now works for a music company that contributed multiple songs to Gaga’s latest album.

ummm really?!?!?!??!
Judas should’ve been nominated for video of the year. It shits on all of the songs nominated.
Katy perry’s whole discography<<<<<<<Judas
Gurl BANG!!!
Those songs sound NOTHING alike!
FLOP t*****
that “juda” or whatever the f*** that is sounds like she’s getting f***** in the ass
W-T-F-S??? B**** please stop wanting make $$$$$ behind My Gagalo!!! Bye h**!!!!
Where is the similarity? Just because your song title is similar minus an extra vowel. #GirlBye
that “Juda” song sounds like JUDAaaAaaA JUDAAaaaaA (OH F*** ME F*** ME) JUDAaaA judaAA!!
Ummm…. it seems as though someone is just trying to get some fame off Gagas name because nothing in that clip sounded similar to Judas. Rebecca Francescatti needs to have SEVERAL SEATS!
this drag queen needs to be suid, I’ve heard not too many good things about this trick,
Christina perhaps!
not even close
ummm the LADY who is suing her is NOT going to win the case at all
First of all the Lady’s song is called “JUDA” and she sings” juda juda juda”
Lady Gaga said :JUDAAA-JUDA-A-A”
The songs have no melodies that are the same….just the word “JUDA”
FLOP case………
Rly who cares? Lady gaga is one of the greatest artists of our time. One plaigarism error not gonna stop her career. This woman is a genius and has a brain like no other. Her imagination and artist creativity is that similar to MJ’s. At least she don’t steal as much as beyonce. Beyonce’s thievery is all over youtube. That woman steals s*** like no other. Like I said, who cares…NEXT.
@rihanna is the best! You will deal
You cant be serious … “Her imagination and artist creativity is that similar to MJ’s” ..
nothing she has done has been original ..
brainless dumbass ..
@rihanna is the best..u must have cuase u commented ..and why in the hell ubringing mrs.carter in this who has been in the game over 15 years and still doing her thang ..and no gaga s*** is not similar to mj stop with that damn lie ..u r so f****** dumb..the greatest female artist of our time is beyonce …case closed ..next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dumpy..thank you
Why are people so unfair?
A celebrity acts slutty in public (no one specific)= “at least she has a personality unlike BEYONCE”
A celebrity is sued for plagiarism = “BEYONCE stole this and that and these credits and those credits”
A singer cancels the North American leg of her tour due to Laryngitis = “At least she never went and sang with a hoarse voice and sound like BEYONCE”
There is no pleasing anyone, WE GET IT, BEYONCE IS ALWAYS WRONG I think we know that by now…..SMH!!!
@watch and dumpy. B******, shut your slow asses up. I said ONE of the greatest artist of our time, imbeciles. Is reading that hard? I don’t give a s*** if beyawnce is one of them too. I never denied she was. I said she was a theif regardless of her talent. And yes, gaga’s imagination is similar to mj’s. All of her music videos have messages and meaning to them, regardless good or evil. She’s a genius, shut up pigface. Let me have my opinion. And she’s smart and classically trained in her music…very smart BUSINESS-LIKE and accurate. I suggest you do more research or learn about someone’s background before you start s*** with me.
As Much As I Would Love For Gaga To Lose This Case (& Be Shown As A FRAUD) Those Two Songs Sound NOTHING ALIKE!
#KingB2011
BEFORE THIS BECOMES A BEYONCE POST, I WOULD LIKE FOR ALL OF YOU TO WATCH THIS….PLEASE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-FZaoaR1TI
These two songs don’t sound alike at all.
This is sum reaching tea……..next!!!!!
I saw this on t * u * m * b * l * r,laughed,and went back to my business….anyway,while you’re at it,post the Yoü & I single cover.
never mind that last comment.
Before the Gaga hating kiddies come & say that’s what she deserves….keep in mind that this lawsuit is as frivolous as the Japanese scam lawsuit.
Finally! I hope Madonna sues for Born This Way!
this is old news i read it on http://punchbowlblog.com/ ages ago…
LIKE REALLY!!!
She on that Juda crack if she thinks she has a case against GaGa
Seriously she needs to go sleep and i’d sue her for time-wasting DUMB!
I can can see where she going with it with the Judaaaah juda aaahh aaah BUT its just same word and different ways of saying it.
Millons of song have even more similarites than that so 4me it’s CASE DISMISSED and a fine for clutching at straws
I don’t care about this one song.Her whole album needs to be sued.There have been NUMEROUS artists on Twitter who have said that GaGa has copied a song from them, but they won’t sue her (and of course no blogs posted this).She almost got a lawsuit for ‘Electric Chapel’.Her whole album is re-heated and served 80’s tracks and I’m not even a hater, but it’s obvious if you listen to the album.
@ Rihanna is the best,
chick take a nap. Gaga is a theif and you will deal. She tries to take musical ideas and change it around so people will not notice.. Like the above said, almost her entire album. I cannot wait to see her after 10 yrs in show biz. What will she wear and who she will copy.
Anyway your research on her background but never found these musical similarities not once but many? hater but for beyonce you research all the negative fake postings from the jealous h*** on youtube. When your favorite and gaga last in music with a great impact , evolve and still be at the top of their game with no scandall, you can argue for now your opinion on art and craft sucks. And gags with mj, katty perry with mj. how lame and disrespectful to mj’s talent and even his family too.
I wouldn’t b suprised about Gaga being accused of plagiarism, but I disagree that that’s the case here. No plagiarism.
Uh-oh, I love ‘Judas’.
reaching and buzzing !! u wanna get famous or you are fading , ATTACK LADY GAGA , U WILL BE THE NEWS TOMORROW ! #BASIC !
next ——————————————— >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Is it a surprise??
She’s copying everyone..why mad?
She is THE QUEEN OF COPY-CAT
lol 🙂
What’s new? Gaga is a good musician and singer but she’s not original at all. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve success though.

Kat Deluna should have sued JNO vocals also 😕
Get that monsters money Francesca,straight up 👿
that person needs to sit all the way down the songs sound nothing alike
@DANG
i love judas, but you said song, and its about videos, not songs
and the video of judas was corny and made no sense sooo…..
i love judas and gaga but with the fact that the person who worked closly to rebecca co wrote judas and the choruses sound VERY similar, i think it was plagerism and lady gaga should get sued, but its not gonna stop her career in any way so it shouldnt even matter to gaga
Madonna had a better case with express yourself.
i will sue this b**** singing “juda” ! she’s copying shakira singing style 😆 !
there she goes.
GTFO
The other chick’s song is ten million times better than that t*****’s
Yeah, SUE that THIEF…
She STEALS from EVERYBODY and EVERYWHERE…
@Kimberly she aint stole as much as beyonce. I never said gaga was the NEXT mj. I said her artistry and imagination is similar to mj’s. Beyonce is lame. All she can do is sing. She is not as creative as gaga. Never will be.NEXT.
Rebecca Francescatti JUST WANT SOME MONEY
Rebecca Francescatti CANT SING!!!!!!
Rebecca Francescatti’s “Juda” SUCKS
GAGA REIGN GAGA REIGN!!!!!!!!!

Plagiarism? Lady Caca? Well DUH!
Lady Caca ignited her career by using Christina Aguilera’s name in paid advertisements. Lady Caca and her team are shameless, desperate f*cktards. Nobody knew of the existence of Lady Caca and her debut album for almost a whole year, before the sabotage of Christina Aguilera.
Lady Caca is a plagiarist, a copycat, a lunatic, a newbie, a wannabe, a try-very-hard, a bad male-sounding singer, a very average piano player, a stupid lyricist, a horrific music maker, a clown, a fame-obsessed monster, a troll, a drug-lover, an overrated mess adored by ignorant delusional monsters and crazy, demented media, an opportunist, a liar, a hypocrite etc.
Notice how Lady Lunatic is always making an effort to look strange, how she says weird things and is always crying and shedding tears, every once in a while?
You know why, people??????
It’s because she is insane, and extremely tired/exhausted from making all her stupid music and doing all her lame “work”. That is all!!! Nothing more to it!!!!! Crocodile tears.
There is nothing special or outstanding about Lady Caca’s horrific music. Lady Caca’s fans, the monstrous Monsters are epically blind and deaf and delusional.
Lady Caca likes to pretend like she’s paying tributes and homages 24/7 to obscure, unknown celebrities of the last century, when in REALITY she grew up listening to Britney/Christina/Madonna and is now stealing from them (amongst others). I AM NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will never have respect for the clown-@ss b@stard in a million years. Lady Caca is epically w@ck.
