Lady Gaga says she is flattered to be on Madonna's mind
New York:
Lady Gaga is getting back at Madonnafor suggesting that her Born This Way had similarities withQueen of Pop's Express Yourself.
The 27-year-old singer said she was flattered to be onMadonna's mind, reported Huffington Post quoting Gaga'sinterview to Attitude.
"I have to be really honest, I was completely kind offloored that Madonna was singing my song on her stage everynight! I'm certainly not thinking about anybody but me and myfans when I'm on stage," Gaga said while referencing toMadonna's mashup of Born This Way and Express Yourselfduring her concerts last year.
"The fact that I was on her mind at all. I mean, Madonna's... she's Madonna. I looked up to her for a long time. I'm notquite sure what her intention was -- to do that in the show,but I don't really care.
"She chooses to use her voice the way she chooses to usehers and I choose to use mine the way I use mine. All it meantto me was that Madonna Ciccone was singing my song on herstage and I'm 27! And as a punk-rocker from New York, I'vebasically been hoping that I would become so good that one dayI would piss off Madonna!," Gaga said.
Madonna has in the past made it clear that her ExpressYourself was an inspiration for Born This Way, somethingthat has been denied by Gaga.
In a 2012 interview Madonna said, "I'm a really big fan of(Born This Way). I'm glad that I helped Gaga write it."
