    Things turned sour, between the two when Gaga's “Born This Way” bore similarities to Madonna's “Express Yourself.” Madonna never took legal action over the claims of plagiarism but Madonna did perform sly, mash-ups of the two songs at then MDNA concert in 2012. Have a look!!

Have you forgotten that Zane Lowe interview in 2015 when he mentioned Madonna and Lady Gaga went off on a full blown rant (full of lies) about her not playing any instruments or writing her own material? Then again in that stupid documentary where she wished Madonna would've thrown her up against a wall and told her to her face what a piece of shit she was? Did Gaga talk to Madonna before going on camera to say these things? I doubt it. She's very lucky Madonna has mellowed with age because she would've ripped Gaga to shreds if this was 1990.

    Ah, the moment Marissa realised that "Born This Way" is a copy of "Express Yourself" - classic :D This happened for so many of my friends too, when we first listened to Gaga´s then "new" music, and were very dissapointed by the copy.
    I remember when Lady Gaga was on some late night talk show and she was asked about the similarities, she said that she'd sent the song to Madonna and got a supportive email back. Nice try. Madonna's representatives replied they never received any message from Lady Gaga... "Born This Way" and the aftermath how Lady Gaga tried to wiggle her way out of this mess was the moment I lost interest.
    But that said, this song is another classic pop song and was very empowering, not only for girls and women but also the LGTBQI community.
    And all the live performances during this era were spectacles, all of them. Especially from the "Blond Ambition Tour", which changed how pop concerts looked, sound, felt etc. :D

    The song was written for Jennifer Grey who was going through a break up with Matthew Broderick, she's the character "Baby" from dirty dancing. Her breakup inspired madonna to write express yourself. It's a woman empowering song. The reason Madonna and Lady Gaga fell out over the song is because no one asked permission from Madonna to use the music. Madonna in 2012 performed a medly of express yourself and born this way to show the similarities. The Mashup was performed during her MDNA tour. Another live performance that was awesome is from the 1989 MTV music awards which madonna opened the show.

    lol at the pussycat imagery going right over their innocent heads. The theme of the video is based on a classic German silent film called Metropolis. The movie is a commentary on the evils of capitalism and the industrial revolution, and centres around a corrupt factory owner (the 'mind' in the quote at the end of the video) and his naïve, well-intentioned son, the practically enslaved workers (the 'hands') in the factory, and a virtuous woman who tries to help the workers (the 'heart'). The woman is captured by an evil scientist who takes her image and transplants it onto a robot, who performs and erotic dance and seduces the men of the factory... convincing them to destroy the factory and everyone in it. The son rescues the woman and they both manage to save the factory from being destroyed. The owner learns that he needs to treat his workers with respect as they both need each other to co-exist and be successful.
    M takes the Art Deco style of the film and loosely bases the story of the video on the film. The bald guy represents the evil factory owner... he treats his workers terribly and even has musicians trapped in a glass dome to play for his amusement. Presumably, he keeps Madonna in a gilded cage, however the chains we see her in represent her being enchained by her own desires, letting her heart and body overrule her head. She releases the cat (female energy/sexuality) to get the men to 'wake up' from their enslavement... most of the men begin fighting (to try to win her by combat?) but the man she wants finds her cat (he even gets drenched by her 'milk') and travels up to her chambers. The song and video are about women finding a man who will treat them with respect, not just seduce them with trappings that are ultimately unimportant, like looks, money, and power. It's therefore seen as a some about feminism and female empowerment, and gay men identified with the messaging as well.

    This was another massive Madonna hit when it came out. Now it’s a classic. An empowerment song. And yeah there was some controversy decades later when Lady Gaga release Born This Way and many accusing Gaga of plagiarism due to the similar chord changes. Lady Gaga has at times said she was a long time admirer of Madonna, so that wouldn’t be a surprise.

      Madonna should have been smart instead of jealous and collaborated with Gaga since she has such a desire for relevancy. She knows Gaga is a far more talented singer, songwriter, dancer and actress, but her ego won't allow any favorable response to Gaga even though she did an entire video paying homage to Madonna.

      @htbald1 well I'm sorry, but you obviously don't know a lot about madonna, so it doesn't seem fair to me you give yourself freedom to make such statements. Did you see madonna in 2000 literally promoting Kylie by wearing shirts with her name? Or how she spoke of her VMA performance in 2003 with Britney and Christina in which she said she would like to pass the torch to a newer generation? She's been nothing but supportive of virtually all young female artists, what seems to be passing your (subjective) attention was that the only artists who's been blatantly disrespectful of her was Lady Gaga, so why do you think shevd owe her respect back? She's been supportive of her too in the very beginning but I'm sorry to say, there is a fine line between being inspired or paying a homage and ripping off someone. And Gaga has been very much doing that for quite some time, she never credited Madonna, in this particular case, I will never forget when not only was this song obviously inspired by M, she went on to perform it in an outfit closely resembling Madonna's own imagery which also happens to be an iconic look for M, just to go on to thank Whitney Houston in her speech. I don't know how you read that, but that was literally disrespectful. I think that's when Madonna couldn't ignore it anymore and lost her cool about it. I wish she didn't, but then again, the whole point is - saying Madonna doesn't know how to pass the torch, after all the evidence on contrary - and after she has literally paved the way for anything women in pop do today - is a bit too much. Just like it's a bit too much that any of them should feel entitled enough not to at least respect what she has done.

    PLEASE find and react to Madonna performing Express Yourself/Born This Way live in one of her MDNA Tour shows. It's titled "Express Yourself/Born This Way/She's Not Me" (Live Miami) Hollywood and the media has always hyped up feuds, but I think for a little while there was somewhat of a feud between the two. Having grown up as a Madonna fan since i was in grade school and her career just really taking off, I don't feel the feud between them was as personal as people made it out to be. Madonna just made a comment in an interview saying that it was "reductive" for Lady Gaga to so obviously do many of the things Madonna did so early on in her career. I feel Madonna was saying Lady Gaga had so much more to offer than simply copying Madonna. Madonna can be rough around the edges and can come across the wrong way with people. This clip on RUclips, where Madonna performed a "Express Yourself/Born This Way," that was her way of putting a nail in that coffin and moving on.

That your FEELINGS must connect your thinking and your believes with your actions, its like your actions and your thouhts must be always guided by your HEART.
    The whole lyrics of the song were originally dedicated to her first ex husband, and she basically says that he must express the love he feels for her, or otherwise she is going to move on by her self " ...and when you are gone he might regret it and think about the love he once had"... "dont go for second best put your love to the test! " that was Madonna s ways of saying dont be a conformist, know your value, love your self... LOVE YOURSELF... EXPRESS YOURSELF... so you can RESPECT YOURSELF ...hey hey!
    On the story of the video, M plays the wife of this powerfull men who is very rich and owns a kind of factory and keeps her elevated on a tower but alone (her only companion is a cat) and she is chained (she cant escape or interact with the employees/slaves) but one of this man CAN! and goes for her and the end...well.. you see...the make love, happy ending, LOVE wins.

It's a sci-fi tale depicting a world in which the rich live in lavish skyscrapers, the poor live underground and must run the machines that keep the upper world functioning... you know, kind of an exploration of classism. The heart represents a character of conscience; the hand represents the workers; the mind represents the wealthy. It's long, but if you ever get a chance to watch it, it's worth the time. #TylerCreatesContent #ExpressYourself #Madonna

    It is definitely a song about Woman empowerment. She is in control. It is her who puts herself in chains. No man dominates her unless she lets him. She has explained this in interviews in the past, especially in the Nightline interview when she discusses "Justify My Love" when questioned about her being so sexual in her videos. If you look back at Madonna's career, she has used "sex" in a way you see men do it, but the difference is, she's in control. She turns it around, using her own sexuality to seduce and entice her listeners and viewers. It's been a huge part of her career.
    And yeah, there was a big deal back in 2012 when Lady Gaga released "Born This Way". This is where the term "Reductive" came about. Not a word Madonna made up, but she used that word describing "Born This Way" and how she definitely recognized the song sounds similar to "Express Yourself". The feud was really among fan bases, and bit one sided on Lady Gaga's part. She seemed to have denied Madonna's influence at the time and came off as if she wasn't on good terms with Madonna. Meanwhile, other than Madonna commenting on the song, she never partook in any feud between them. She even agreed to do a skit with Lady Gaga on Saturday Night Live a few years before where the two were fighting. Since then, fan bases pitted the two women against each other. Lady Gaga was the only one who fed into it, trying to come off as a victim, while Madonna pretty much ignored it. The fan bases were mostly responsible for giving the impression the two didn't get along, when it was just the fans skirting drama and hating on one another.

    Androgyny? No. Your reaction to her videos are funny most of the time. You've yet to learn the impact Madonna has had on music and pop culture. She is the Queen! Videos to watch: Burning Up, Crazy for you, Deeper and deeper, Fever. Music, Celebration. You've put a big dent in her video catalog. Keep it up.

      EXACTLY. Their interpretation of this song/video was so banal. Madonna gave a pretty in-depth interpretation of this song as this was the first video which she financed entirely HERSELF. She chose everything.. the concept, the lighting, design, "finding the right cat".. etc. She was inspired by the film Metropolis and it shows as she embodies BOTH male and female characters.. and unlike the film, she has them coming up to HER level.. this video is my favorite Madonna video. I just wish people would do their research before they view/comment on it!!

    I think it says a lot about how culture has grown and changed that some of the (back in the day) controversial things in the video (Madonna's crotch grabbing, being chained to a bed) didn't seem to provoke much of a reaction from the two of you.. and then later on you discussed the themes of the video but weren't like 😲 in the moment. Then again, we are inundated daily with everyday people trying to outshock each other, etc on tik tok and other venues. Is there anything that really shocks us anymore?

    Especially Madonna's response, "reductive/ look It Up", etc. Made this an espectacular chapter in pop history. I really enjoyed It a lot.

    See this music Live Blond Ambition Tour Barcelona. Madonna, from the very begining, " The Virgin Tour" changed the way to make live concerts. See all the references from the big stars. And about Gaga: " So if you want it right now, then make him show you how
    Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not"
    "I'm beautiful in my way
    'cause god makes no mistakes
    I'm on the right track baby

    Lady Gaga did copy the melody from Madonna's Express Yourself for her song Born This Way which she denied. You should check out this video mashup of Express Yourself and Born this way and you'll hear it ruclips.net/video/Yy-D1Iwr7Gw/видео.html . In an interview Madonna was asked how she felt about it and did she look at is homage or flattery and Madonna's response was "It Feels Reductive". So Madonna was not happy about it but she's not one to dwell on shit or hold a grudge, but I personally don't like Lady Gaga because of her trying to copy Madonna and I can't stand when Lady Gaga fans call her the "New Madonna" because that will never be. That term the "New Madonna has been used since Madonna first came out and nobody ever measured up to Madonna. Now Lady Gaga is talented and successful I'll give her that but she will never have the Iconic Legacy that Madonna has...Respect!

    Many people says that she's an LGBTQ++ supporter that is why mostly her fans are from that category of people which is also true, but then there are also many straights, children and women who really love her brand of music especially in my country the Philippines. We do not think of her as an LGBTQ++ supporter first, if then so what?!, we see her as an artist who defy standards and made her own art far more better than the rest, she's always steps ahead of everybody leaving them all behind.

    No.. Madonna did not go for an "androgynous" look.. she was inspired by the film "Metropolis" she embodied the male and female parts of that whole thing. The theme of Express Yourself is "speak up or you're NOT going to get what you want" . And it's not a 'how to".. it's like "who cares about cards, sheets, roses, cars, watches, etc etc etc.. that sh-t don't mean anything.. Tell him what you want and need". And Gaga ripped off the bassline from Express Yourself and Express yourself ripped off the Family Stone.. so there's THAT! The video ends with a quote from "Metropolis". So you should check it out. Gen Z'rs..need to do your research.
