Lady Gaga rips off.... Ginger Spice
I was trying to find the video where Lady Gaga talks about being a big fan of and gives a shout out to Geri Halliwell at one of her Monster Ball concerts (I found it, here it is for anyone who is interested, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJnzFndP1mY&feature=player_embedded#!)
Anyway, during my search I came across this.

Which made me extremely happy. Apparently it's been all over tumblr (whatever that is) and the 90s gays are lapping it up.
You're welcome x

Gaga, clearly.
But seriously, you can make out that any pop star has copied any pop star, but 99% of the time they haven't copied anyone.
I don't think Lady Gaga has copied her tbh. But at the same time, I don't think any other pop stars have ever copied Lady Gaga.
Now now, Look At Me is a bonafide classic. :cool:
You're breathing, Gaga is copying you!
it makes me laugh when gaga does something that intentionally "copies" someone but no one notices, when she doesn't, thats when she's "copying"
That's the whole point dear.
Taylor Swift was hardly the first to do that and Gaga had done that previous to the Judas video
Once again. That's the whole point dear.
Yeah, but when it comes to making a peace sign... seriously?
I remember that so well. Clearly if she was a huge fan, she would obviously own a copy of The Fame Monster and know Dance in the dark very well.
:rolleyes:
Everyone else seems to be drawing comparisons out of nowhere so I thought "What the Hell".
It's like when Steps said that Gaga's music was little different to theirs and what not, had it been someone more 'credible' it would probably be used as ammo, dragged out when a detractor required it along with all the other 'evidence'.
You'd hope that it would bring light to how silly the comparissons get with Gaga now as a scapegoat for anyone and everyone making accusations, but apparently not.
Made a great post which got overlooked in amongst a load of lol's.
As for the Steps thing though. I have read plently people say Gaga's music isn't much different to the Vengaboys but because people don't view the Vengaboys and Steps as serious artists the claims are ignored.. Likewise with this Geri one which has been met with ROFL and LOL's when there is clearly some truth in Gaga being inspired by Geri. Just as Adele, Jessie J, Rihanna etc all were as well by their own admissions. Geri's legacy is a great one and not one to be laughed at. Not when so many of todays current female popstars keep saying how much she influenced them as teenagers. That stands for something and Geri should be proud of herself.
Similarity does not mean it's intentional or even relevant, though.
What are the chances that Gaga and Steven Klein were inspired by Geri's Look At Me and Bag It Up videos? It's entirely probable that neither have seen either. Even I'd they have, the visual elements being considered here are not exclusive. Pastiching oversaturated tv shorts has been done, and referencing film noir is nothing new. Judging by what has been said about both elements by Gaga, she would have cited the Geri reference had there been. She paid exceptional pop cultural reference detail in the Telephone recipe, for instance, and thats a tidbit.
There's certainly not enough ground to make a valid accusation of plagerism.
