@THATBOYLUKE - If Madonna really thought that Born This Way was a ripoff of Express Yourself she would have sued Gaga like a shot, Madonna is more than familiar with this type of lawsuit as she has been on the receiving end of plenty of them during her career. Again, trying to drum this into people's thick heads - BOTH SONGS USE THE SAME CHORD PROGRESSION, mainly in the chorus, Madonna does not own chord progressions and this particular one is a typical 1970's (Madonna was not around then) disco staple, Gaga cannot steal from Madonna what does not belong to Madonna in the first place! When Gaga does acoustic and acapella versions of this song its damn well obvious that the similarities to Express Yourself are small and superficial as you can't even hear it when she strips it down.

I'll give Madonna one thing, the woman certainly knows how to create publicity for herself and get people talking, something she badly needs with the long break she has taken from the music business. I wouldn't have been so bothered about her snide remark if it wasn't for the fact that Gaga only ever has good things to say about her, and any other female singer come to that. It makes Madonna look like the bitch she is. Saying which, I'm looking forward to hearing her new stuff, can the queen of reinvention pull it off again?
