  7. YEABEY WON’T DANCE 4 U August 18, 2011

    I had heard the Lady Gaga only demo way back last year….It had the old poker face type sound to it…I wonder if they are going to rework the beat? and lyrics?

  8. JJfan1814 August 18, 2011

    The gays are gonna make sure this is a hit!!! We are talking about Cher & Gaga on one track!!

  9. Those That Cannot Do, Stan August 18, 2011

    Love Cher but that’s just too much excess/gimmick in one duet. Gaga will smear herself in cow fat and wear leather. Cher will have 3 tons of hair and no clothes on.

    I’m sure it would sound amazing but Gaga’s been wearing me out lately with all the extra.

  10. Skin. ( The Queen Of Grape Juice ) + Bow To Godney. August 18, 2011

    Poker Face part. 2 !!
    #FAIL

  11. GangsterA August 18, 2011

  12. Commander of the RihannaNavy August 18, 2011

    I thought she would work with Xtina cause they were co-stars…

  13. pop royalty ( RUDE BOY ) August 18, 2011

    GAGA LOVES HER FANS ! and this is the proof ! but @sam : this pic is not cool at all !

    anyway : this going to be a Major event !

  14. IN THE SOUTH,WE DON’T STAN FOR BIRDS,WE FRY ‘EM UP & SERVE THEM WITH BISCUITS & DIRTY RICE (IS†ANN4GAGA) August 18, 2011

    If they release this in sept. this would not only be a wrap for You & I…but it would be a wrap for some of ur faves.

  15. pop royalty ( RUDE BOY ) August 18, 2011

    but i heard this song before 🙄 ! #DEJA VU !

  16. irene46 August 18, 2011

    is anyone going to jump on the lady gaga is copying christina by hooking up with cher bandwagon? even though it’s as silly as those claiming christina jacked gaga and is now trying to jack some adele shine, it would at least show we support her.

    no wonder poor christina gets beat down so bad. her fans don’t raise hell for her the way other stans do for their favs.

    the maroon 5 song ‘moves like jagger’ has fallen from # 8 to invisible on the bb chart in one week. from lack of airplay no doubt.

    i don’t see how even with her big talent her new cd will stand a chance!!!

  17. KAT DELUNA FAN August 18, 2011

    I am not excited 😕 😕 dont know why

  18. Slaydele Slay$ha & R.I.P AmySlayhouse August 18, 2011

    @irene46
    Moves Like Jagger is #3 dumbass

    Co-Sign with what Those Who Cannot Do, Stan

  19. Slaydele Slay$ha & R.I.P AmySlayhouse August 18, 2011

    Not a cute pic BTW. They both look like drag queens.

  20. KD August 18, 2011

    Thought cher retired.

  21. Malibu Barbie August 18, 2011

    This cudda been Nicki and Lil’ Kim but Nicki had to f*** that up..
    im ready for this song!! CHER + GAGA !! woop!

  22. irene46 August 18, 2011

    @ old slayingone…

    xxxcuuuse me!!! i checked the bb chart again and saw ‘moves like jagger’ at #3. thanks. i feel so much better.

    now you can co sign with ‘those who can’t do’ throw unnecessary worthless insults!

  23. King B August 18, 2011

    I really hope the finished product bears little resemblance to this. I mean, the melody is nice, but I don’t want to hear Auto-Tune on another song ever again, and the beat is too Poker Face-ish.

  24. Bitter b****** make me sick…. Throw up (queenbey) August 18, 2011

    The article clearly said this is GaGa demo……..

    Not the real song 🙄

    It seem like ppl on here come up with their ‘opinions’ after reading other ppl comments… 🙄

  25. mobwife August 18, 2011

    Sounds like an old throw away Madonna song with some mordern day auto-tune tossed in. NOT CUTE NOR INTERESTING!! But hey the world loves CaCa so of course it debut at the #1 spot on the hot blah, blah charts!

  26. THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED LACEFRONCE. August 18, 2011

    Cher = STR8 TRASH

    Father Caca = FLOP & STR8 TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hagdonna = STR8 TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Live, Love, Party August 18, 2011

    Cher and LG? I have a feeling this is going to end well.

  28. Live, Love, Party August 18, 2011

    @slaydele I wonder what u look like….Kesha= non-singing garbage, btw. 🙂

  29. onyx August 18, 2011

    It’s gonna be a smash hit, i love Cher and Gaga but i feel it is a plan to destroy Madonna but that’s mission impossible, Cher knows that joining Gaga she’s going to have all the attention on it, Cher supports Gaga because she knows she is the only one that can compete with Madonna because Cher could not with her, is a battle of divas but i love the three, i want a duet of Madonna and Gaga 2.

  30. LidoR BEYONCE stan August 18, 2011

    SWEET

  31. ChristinasCOMING August 18, 2011

    @ Irene 46….

    The xtina stans don’t say nothing because we have bigger fish to fry.

    Gaga just wants Christinas sloppy seconds.

  32. jamir21: bey,rih,brit,gaga,nicki # 1 FAN !!!! August 18, 2011

    Yes Gaga she is working with the goddess of music Cher !!!!
    I like the demo but hopefully they fix some things it kind of sounds like Believe !!!

  33. Bobby Bulgaria August 18, 2011

    Oh, WOW!

    This will be THE MOST FAKE DUET of all time…

    Fakeness… Just take a look at the photo…

    🙂

  34. LaLa August 18, 2011

    sounded like a Cher’s “Believe” mixed with “Pokerface”. It’s an okay song…. I wish they both could make new music (since this is a leftover from The Fame years ago). Well, I’ll be waiting for the final execution.

    gosh! Gaga & Cher looks like a sibling with similar age in that pic.

  35. JER August 18, 2011

    DEF sounds like a The Fame demo. If they promote this justa tad and put a banner on iTunes, it should sell decently

  36. Jennifer August 18, 2011

    This song is horrible! I hate the autotune and the whole thing hurts my ears!

  37. irene46 August 18, 2011

    @ christinascoming…

    christina stans have “bigger fish to fry” than speaking up to show they have her back???! really????

    with stans like you it’s no wonder it’s no wonder the haters are so successful in making her look irrelevant because they get no blow back from her fans.

    funny how you took time out from your ‘fish frying’ to make an excuse but you couldn’t type a single word of support for your alledged fav.

    with fans like you who needs haters?!

  38. LaLa August 18, 2011

    @Irene46

    Bionic just bound to Flop, no matter what Xtina fans support her to death. (We mostly crossedpath defending her in TGJ right?). It bound to Flop because the amount of Haters dominated 2010 = bad media (blogs, articles, news), some Monopoly/conspiracy on her radio airplay, & all other bad things.

    But there’s also some good things came out off all that = Xtina & (some of) her fans humbled because of it. & even now, some of little monster finally saw the truth & (starting to) love Xtina in return.

    Rational Fans >>>>> (Stupid/Crazy/Delusional) Stans
    PEACE Y’ALL 😀

  39. Lady Delusional Hypocrite Egomaniac Liar August 18, 2011

    Elton John, Tony Benett, Cher….. Lady Caca just keeps following Christina Aguilera’s footsteps. Working with people Christina has already worked with. Changing her music styles, the way Christina has, doing pop, dance, jazz, etc. Wearing long blond hair the same way Christina has. Attempting to make “inspirational” pop music, but it sucks compared to Christina’s. Need I go on?

    Lady Caca is a poor man’s version of Christina Amazinglera.

  40. Musicfan August 19, 2011

    @LADY DELUSIONAL HYPOCRITE EGOMANIAC LIAR, hey dumbfuck, how about you learn to spell your own b****’s name before you come at mine?

  41. YOOSONDALOOSE August 19, 2011

    Really like the demo! Think it would be a hit collab.

  42. irene46 August 19, 2011

    @ lady delusiona hypocrite egomaniac lair…

    this is the name you picked for yourself to represent for christina? real way to give yourself and christina cred…yeah right!!! i gotta feeling you’re a sneaky shadier posing as a fan. why else would you call yourself a delusional liar?

    i like lgg but i think she does copy christina (along with copying many others). she can copy christina and get away. she knows the hypocrites that pounded christina for alledgedly jacking her won’t say one damn word (obviously most of christina’s REAL fans won’t either).

  43. Lady Caca is a lunatic, egomaniac, crazy, insane, fame-obsessed monstrous clown August 19, 2011

    Lady Caca just keeps following Christina Aguilera’s footsteps. Working with people Christina has already worked with, like Elton John, Tony Benett, Cher… Lady Caca’s changing her music styles, the way Christina has, doing pop, dance, soul, etc. Wearing long blond hair the same way Christina has. Attempting to make “inspirational” pop music, but it sucks compared to Christina’s. Etc.

    LADY CACA IGNITED HER CAREER IN THE FIRST PLACE BY HAVING THE INTERSCOPE PEOPLE USE CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S NAME IN PAID ADVERTISEMENTS. Lady Caca had to resort to such fraudulent measures because her pompous, desperate @ss and her first album were being ignored for almost an entire year.

    Lady Caca is a poor man’s version of Christina Amazinglera.
    Whether Lady Caca herself and Interscope admit it or not!

    “ANYONE WITH TWO EYES CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.”

    Lady Caca is now trying to make Christina Aguilera obsolete. By stealing some of Christina Aguilera’s trademark looks, she is attempting to make Christina less outstanging and original. Lady Caca and Interscope must be nervous about Christina Aguilera’s upcoming new studio album… they know it will sound marvelous, just like ALL of Christina Aguilera’s previous albums. They are probably thinking of new ways to sabotage Christina AGAIN.

    Poor f*cking shameless trolls. Christina Aguilera takes a gigantic poop on those who don’t like her. And Christina doesn’t even need number 1 albums, singles or Guinness records. Her music and immense talent speak for themselves.

  44. irene46 August 19, 2011

    @ lala…

    i know it’s hard to support christina when so many are against her but do her fans even try? do you put the media on blast when they put her down unfairly such as lying about her movie ‘burlesque’ being a flop when it wasn’t, accusing her of jacking images when if all the jackers in the industry left it would be empty, focusing on her mistakes at the superbowl and aretha franklin’s tribute even though both preformances were awesome (when she flubbed the star spangled banner she didn’t miss a beat…that’s being professional) at least she didn’t run off the stage like jessica simpson did at the dolly parton tribute. do you call radio and tv stations to demand airplay of her records and videos?

    if fans can shamelessly support britney spears as totally talentless as she is, christina fans can at least make an effort!!! i’ll give it to you that it is hard when the media is ripping at an artist ‘s ass like a pack of jackals but look what support did for britney after her vma disaster.

    if christina crawled on her belly to humble herself (even though i don’t know why she should) it still wouldn’t be good enough!!! obviously, her so-called humbling hasn’t worked because the haters are out in force and the media is still ignoring her!

    i think a lot of the britney loving media’s putting christina down is so her popularity does not out shine britney’s. i’m talkin’ in this era britney lovers. so don’t come at me with the floss from her ‘t*** queen’ days.

  45. nice_gurl August 19, 2011

    I love this track. They actually sound really similar.

  46. Starr August 24, 2011

    I’m so tired of Lady Gaga doing everything that Xtina has done. She worked with Elton John, Tony Bennett, Patti Labelle and now CHER?! She’s been saying she wants to put out a jazz album lately and has been dressing very classy a la ‘Back to Basics.’ She honestly even LOOKS like Xtina lately with her long platinum hair, loubouitons, red lips…etc. She even wore her hair crimped and a dress that made her look exactly like Xtina’s W cover this year. What gives? She STAYS copying Xtina, but no one says anything. Xtina cuts her bangs like Nico, makes electro music and a video that looks like Madonna and people cry ‘Gaga copycat!” It’s completely f***** up.

  47. tired August 24, 2011

    Sick of this copycat b**** attaching her name to everything that Christina Aguilera has done before and better. Her team used ads when she first came out that said ‘Xtina copies Lady Gaga, buy The Fame!” She and her team (including Perez and Akon) used Christina to gain notoriety. Christina had no idea who Gaga was at the time and because of her comments on not knowing her, she was accused of being a b**** and a copycat. It’s ridiculous! Akon, Gaga’s main mentor, came out right before Bionic, before hearing or seeing anything, says she’s copying Gaga. You can’t tell me that he didn’t dod that s*** on purpose! Gaga is trying to take over Christina’s career! She wants to take her place and be the ‘voice of a generation.’ She’s stolen so many looks from Xtina’s Stripped days and now is taking nots from Back to Basics. She’s trying to outdo Xtina with doing different musical styles too, since it’s what she’s known for. It’s messed up! Gaga is a cheater and a liar and i CANT BELIEVE ANYONE BUYS INTO HER B*******!!

  48. OPENYOUREYESPEOPLE August 25, 2011

    I REALLY CHALLENGE PEOPLE TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND OPEN THEIR EYES! Xtina WAS ACCUSED OF COPYING GAGA, BUT IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND HAS BEEN FOR THREE YEARS! GAGA WANTS TO BE XTINA SO BAD SHE CAN’T STAND IT. XTINA HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST TALENTED B**** IN THE POP SCENE AND GAGA WANTS THAT TITLE! XTINA WAS ALWAYS KNOWN FOR HER WILD WARDROBE AND EVER-CHANGING STYLE IN BOTH MUSIC AND IMAGE AND GAGA I S TRYING TO ERASE EVERYONE’S MEMORIES OF HER! SHE’S DOING EVERYTHING XTINA HAS DONE BEFORE, SO AS TO ERASE THE NEED FOR AGUILERA! INTERSCOPE HATES XTINA BECAUSE SHE’S THE ONLY POP STAR OUT THERE THAT HAS MORE TALENT THAN GAGA! THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE TAKING ATTENTION AWAY FROM HER. THEY SABOTAGED THE BIONIC ERA SO BADLY. THINK ABOUT IT! THINK ABOUT ALL THE SCATHING THINGS THE MEDIA WOULD WRITE! IT ALL WORKED OUT IN GAGA’S FAVOR!! EVERY. SINGLE. ARTICLE. STRANGE HUH? ISN’T IT ALSO STRANGE THAT THE ALEJANDRO VIDEO WAS SET TO COME OUT A WEEK EARLIER, BUT WAS POSTPONED TO COME OUT THE SAME DAY AS BIONIC???! THEN, TO TOP IT ALL OFF, ALEJANDRO HAD TAKEN SOME OF THE EXACT SCENES THAT NOT MYSELF TONIGHT TOOK FROM ‘EXPRESS YOURSELF.’ F***** UP!!

  49. irene46 August 25, 2011

    i’m glad that it’s obvious to others besides me wtf is going on! it’s unreal how many bought into that christina hating bs that she copied gaga. now there’s no mistake about who copies who they don’t say a damn word.

    gaga may be talented but she has jacked every artist in the business! especially christina!!!

    christina fans, let’s keep the low life haters on blast’!!!!!!!!

  50. luckystar August 25, 2011

    @IRENE46

    I agree! It’s so obvious that she’s been copying Christina! All you have to do is a little research to see that she’s been copying he from the beginning. Many of Gaga’s wild outfits from the beginning are almost carbon copies of a brilliant photoshoot that Xtina did with Ellen Von Unwerth back in 2004. The cover of Gaga’s remix album (with the pink wig/over eye hat with a feather) is completely taken from that photoshoot. She’s been blatantly copying Xtina for a while now and no one says ANYTHING! it’s outrageous that she can get away with it! She’s literally working with all these people that Christina has worked with. How does that not seem weird? I agree with the above poster that she is starting to resemble Xtina a la Back to Basics! She said she wants to do a jazz album and worked with Tony Bennett and has been doing some jazzy stuff lately. People need to wake up and realize that Gaga is nothing but a conglomeration of better, more original artists before her. It’s sad thats he gets the most popularity and credit when she is nothing but a mimic.

  51. luckystar August 25, 2011

    Gaga also has continually ripped off an Estonian artist named Kerli for YEARS. This poor girl hates Gaga because Gaga got so famous by ripping off her style, especially her hairstyles. If you google ‘Kerli Gaga’ you’ll see just how much Gaga has ripped her off. I thought she hadn’t ripped her off in a long time, but then I saw that Kerli had just done the teal hair too and before Gaga. So sad that Gaga has no shame to rip off other artists and use it for her own gain. She truly is a MONSTER.
