“Black Jesus + Amen Fashion” by Lady GaGa sounds just like and Madonna song

Does anyone know what she means with the lyrics? “Jesus is the new black…”

Also, minus the chorus, which is very GaGa, the song sounds just like something Madonna would have have released in the early 90s or late 80s. Even the styling to her vocals in how she sings the verses is very Madonna meets Britney. Listen to it. It’s sooooo Madonna.

It’s a very interesting and underrated song though. She got a lot of flack for her Born This Way album and all her albums after flopped until A Star Is Born, but I think it’s ART. It was one of the first albums for gays and Born This Way was groundbreaking.

This song is hated by many though, even though it’s terrific. I remember my friend loving her during her “Fame/Fame Monster” era but then when this era came she hated her, especially this “blasphemous” song.

I never understood.

Also, the song is very “underground fashion pop”. It’s fun.

Yes, GaGa rips off many artists.

"Fashion of His Love" is "I Wanna Dance Wtih Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

R3 I loved Fashion of His Love when this album came out. Haven’t heard it in YEARS until now. Love it but can’t believe I never noticed the similarities

"Americano" sounds like the Shaft cover of the Latin jazz classic "Sway."

Of course Madonna accuses Lady Gaga of ripping off "Express Yourself" for "Born This Way."

R6 everyone pointed out how much BTW sounded like Express Yourself back when it came out, before Madonna said anything. It was talked about since 2010!

Oh, dear.

And note how the OP is another one of those "so underrated" twats who think that's the only way to express appreciation for something.

It's a stupid song. Some of hers aren't. But almost none of her songs are as dumb as 90% of Madge's lyrics.

Madonna>>> GaGa

Bitch lost me when she jumped on the R. Kelly train -- when it was all out long before she did the duet with him. Such a phony cunt.

And then when there was backlash she redid the song as a female empowerment song without him

It's a cool song for sure. I can kinda hear Madonna in the verses. But I think it's more they actually sound the same tonally than copying any particular Madonna song. But the verses, as you say, are pure Gaga.

Born This Way has grown on me. I never really liked it when it came out. And I loved The Fame Monster. But there's really I lot of great songs on that record. And some shitty ones too...

Has anyone noticed that chicks_on_speed came out with a compilation of three albums called “girl monster” years before Fame Monster? Some songs that Gaga did are VERY similar to some chicks songs on their album 99 cents.

Honestly I like this song
