I'm just loving all of this. It took a year to happen but couldn't have been more epic. Lady Gaga's Born This Way will be FOREVER remembered as the Express Yourself Rip Off. Reductive will FOREVER be associated with Lady Gaga, and Lady WHO IS NEVER GOING TO GO AWAY, as the public reaction on graham's set clearly demonstrates. Madonna is subtly ruining and destroying Lady Gaga's reputation.
It's funny how a lot of different media outlets can look up the same word and use the definition to support their particular slant on its meaning. I think that when Madonna said it's "reductive," she meant that it was trivializing to her work; i.e. - superficial. which is absolutely true. U know that Madonna's work is very multifaceted speaking to a person's particular level of awareness; while at the same time, having great depth which is lost to L.G. "That said," (as Madonna would say) I think that Madonna was very fair in her opinion of L.G. saying she thought she was talented, she recognized the references (as well as the chord changes) and that she felt her work at times was reductive. All of which are absolutely true. As always with M. two opposing opinions can co-exist. And even if Madonna can be so gracious about it in her response, I don't think I can be for her.
Wow! I can't believe what the producer of, 'Born This Reductive' tweeted!!
DJ White Shadow:
"It was a bummer for me when everyone was saying it sounded like a Madonna song. If you know one thing about me, it is that I am absolutely not influenced by Madonna. I think it was bullshit to be honest. I guess there are a hundred songs that you could put a pitch shift and a BPM change on and loop and make them sound like anything. In addition, there are 5 songs on the radio right now that have the exact same chords and progression. Actually there are 5 songs out that are exactly the same song, on the radio at the same time. Right now. Why doesn’t anyone ever bring that up? Thatis a fucking felony. Lets talk about that! As an added note, how many people have been copying Gaga since she came out? Oh, I have that answer: everyone. Have you seen all the lightning bolts painted on faces, or the one hand eye cover ups during photos, or the exact same promo posters being put up as Gaga’s, or the new popularity of unicorns, or the copycat fake “Oh I’m so cool with the gay community” rhetoric? Or how about the fact that there was barely any dance music on the radio until “Just Dance” came out? Come on motherfuckers, let’s keep it real here. If we are going to talk about who is chasing who, I think we all know the answer to that. So yeah, she did something new, and people had to reach back 20+ years to find a song that could have possibly sounded like it, and that made news? Come on."
The power of the Royal Highness is right!
