Madonna: Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Reductive
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Madonna has spoken out about the similarities between her track 'Express Yourself' and Lady Gaga's single 'Born This Way' by describing the latter as 'reductive'."
There are a hundred and one words that Madonna could have chosen to describe Lady Gaga's single Born This Way: simplistic, derivative, moronic, racist, mind-numbing, crap, bubblegum, nerve-wracking, annoying, irritating, cacophonic, childish...
But the Queen of Pop selected the perfect word: Reductive: Tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, esp. one viewed as crude.
Lady Gaga took a classic Madonna song and managed to create a crude imitation, that's like a child making a crude copy of the Mona Lisa.
Why settle for a crude imitation when you can listen to the real thing? There are many classic Madonna albums that you can listen to, and a new one that's going to be released later this year.
