Yup.

She's so unoriginal.

oh come on, there are so many house tracks that sound like this....WanneBe is a rip off too.

Yes, Gaga ripped off everyone ever.

Okay, here's the back story. When Lady Gaga dropped her first single I posted it here. I dug her style then even though I'm really not into techno/dance music at all. She had a sound - enough of a sound that other artists bit off her. So, I have no problems with her in general.

I stopped checking for her before she released the new CD. Too much media hype and her material wasn't THAT good and I'm not fond of the genre anyway.

I saw the Judas thread but never clicked on it even though it has hella thread views.

So, I saw this thread and figured I could actually make an unbiased decision on this given that I have not heard either song.

I listened to this and then to Judas.

Judas is a STRONG ripoff. WannaBe might be as well because I don't know the genre but in terms of rythmic patterns and musically, if I didn't know better, I'd say that another producer heard WannaBe and re-did it on another synth, changed the arrangement of the song by spicing it up a bit and put Gaga's vocals over it.I know if this were an R&B track, somebody would be suing.

Well u can thank the internet and the whole "indie" thing and putting your demos up on facebook or myspace or whatever for this. Most of the music that is ripped off is very disposable and very very cheap to make, and producers today are nothing more than beatrippers for the most part you are going to get stuff going down like this and whether its straight out lifting you will never have an answer because the process of getting this music is minimal, the creating of it is simplistic therefore you will get ripped off. And with everyone and their mother putting there music up on facebook or whatever thats what you will get.

I wanna sing Juda-as over and over to the bass melody lol

Good grief. Even the spoken word bridge has been plonked in at almost exactly the same point in 'Jadas' as it appears in this WannaBe video.

I can also hear bits of 'Bad Roamnce' have been ripped off for 'Judas'.

The no doubt 'controversial' and 'edgy' video that gaga is working on for this one has me quite literally yawning in anticipation.

Yes the beat is quite similar... but my gosh that wannabe song is GOD AWFUL & that chick can not sing at all. So who really cares if it sound's similar-_- cause this wannabe song is just.....

I'm sure the writers of WannaBe care. If it was so awful, Gaga's producers wouldn't have ripped it off. I have to agree with Lastdecember as well. A lot of these songs just blend right into each other, almost coming off as one long song. I guess that's cool if you're into that. I'm not.

damn it's exactly the same synth riff

Hahaha, she even ripped the name!
