So, why couldn't she just say "Yeah, this video/song/whatever was inspired by Madonna" or something like that? I'm pretty aware that Gaga cites Madonna as a influence frequently... But some stuff she did is like... Ayu's AT02. It's not someone taking influence, it's someone simply remaking what other people done before. What she is doing can't be considered a simply reference cuz it's not similar enough, but the influence is still there she confirming or denying... While both songs just sound the same, what is also something hard to explain.
As I said before, I think Gaga is really talented... She is a little green, as expected for someone with her time on the industry (as being succesful don't automatically makes you experienced), but for some odd reason she followed Madonna too closely, and IMO she needs to rethink some of her strategy unless her goal is to be remembered as a Madonna wannabe... In the end of the day, the sole fact that Madonna is out there for longer and is the main reference on her area makes hurts anyone who tries to follow her step like Gaga did sometimes.
