Would Madge Sue Gaga?
February 16, 2011 Since the moment LADY GAGA's "Born This Way" made its debut on Friday, many fans and haters alike have argued that the song is very similar in feel and melody to MADONNA's classic self-empowerment anthem "Express Yourself." There have been numerous accusations that Gaga has "ripped off" Madonna; no less a songwriting authority than ONEREPUBLIC's RYAN TEDDER even told the Hollywood Reporter, "If I wrote 'Express Yourself' and I heard that song, I would be calling my manager five minutes later." But does Madonna really have legal cause to sue Gaga for copyright infringement? One expert says no.
