Madonna Finally Addresses Born This Way





Senior reporter Jacob Brenstein hung out with Madonna for an upcoming piece in the January 30th issue of Newsweek, and got her thoughts on Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way.'

    "I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song ('Express Yourself'). I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was...interesting."

She's been doing promotion for W.E. for months though. If she really cared, she would've said something before.

but was she asked before?

The fact that it's been such a 'controversy', I'm sure she's been asked more times than she can count.

usually the PR people read through the list of questions and nix the ones which they don't want answered

chances are, no reporter got the chance to ask her till now

If they didn't want her answering before, then why now?

With something as stupid as this, the press wouldn't differentiate between the two. Still, they managed to get quotes from her + her publicist earlier this year in reference to GaGa, so it's not like she had to be physically promoting anything to have mentioned something about it.

because you know her so well lol

No, but the press is predictable as fuck. Whatever gets them a story.

So then the only reason she's bring it up is for her own publicity? She's not going to talk about it a year later after evading the question numerous times unless it's for her own gain.

You must live under a rock, because almost everything Madonna does is for her own gain.

She was never asked straight up until now and yes, it's called publicity... welcome to the entertainment business. It's not all hugs and kisses, especially when you copy the structure of one her most iconic songs.

Madonna has played it very classy and has a right to say the words above a year later so that it wouldn't hurt the single when it was out, but her feelings are her feelings and she obviously isn't holding a grudge. She never stopped gaga from doing anything... so why are you caring so much?

i dont think she really cares. i read that very dispassionately, tbh.
