Lady Gaga on The Tonight Show discussing Born This Way and Express Yourself.
Lady Gaga was a guest on The Tonight Show. On last night’s show, wearing the same facial and shoulder prosthetics that grabbed headlines at the Grammys (yes, shoulder horns, those aren’t pads built into the garment), Gaga discussed Grammy night, her Vogue cover, the Born This Way single and Born This Way album and how they differ, the single’s music video which is coming ‘soon’, and whether Born To Vogue Yourself or whatever it’s called is intentionally derivative of Madonna’s work from the late 80s/ mid-90s. Gaga claims Madonna’s people have reached out to show their support and love the song. I guess Madonna doesn’t mind the comparisons. ‘There is really no one that is a more adoring or loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally.’ Then the singer told The Tonight Show audience that she received an e-mail from Madonna and her people, ‘sending their love and complete support on behalf of the single. And if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be.’ I guess that’s that.
A Born This Way/ Express Yourself mash-up is below for comparison. The video’s creator says they’ve matched pitch and speed to make any similarities clearer.
