Lady Gaga accused of copying "Judas"

Lady Gaga on Friday was slapped with a lawsuit claiming her hit song "Judas" on the new album "Born This Way" was copied from a similar tune by a Chicago-based singer and songwriter.

Rebecca Francescatti, who filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Illinois on Wednesday, alleges "Judas" infringes upon the copyright of her song "Juda," which she recorded in 1999.

The Chicago musician claims that "substantial original portions" of "Judas" were lifted from the song that she re-recorded in 2005 for her album, "It's All About You."

Francescatti's "Juda" was engineered by Brian Joseph Gaynor, a member of DJ White Shadow, which worked with Lady Gaga on her new album "Born This Way."

DJ White Shadow claims to have written 17 of 20 songs on "Born This Way," the suit says.

The suit seeks profits from the sale of the record or damages of an unspecified amount.

Gaynor, DJ White Shadow, Interscope Records and its parent company Universal Music Group are also named in the suit.

A spokeswoman for Lady Gaga was not immediately available for comment, and a spokesman for Interscope declined to comment.

I heard the song and it sounds nothing like Judas.

What about the lyrics? Does both songs have somewhat the same theme?

No. I'll find the link and post it for you. It was on another board. You can listen for yourself.

Funniest thing about the article and this frivolous lawsuit is that they call Judas a "hit".

Rebecca Francescatti is better off uploading her version in its entirely on YouTube because at the moment, she has no case at all based on the sample posted on TMZ.

Dupe thread.

No!

It's time for Caca to pay what she owes. Be original or at least give credit where credit is due. Foolishness.

i've always wondered how much of her and her team is real, and what percentage of their/her creativity is from the bite realm. aka:unauthorized osmosis

Did you even listen to the 'Juda' song? They sound nothing alike!

Now if Madonna had sued Gaga for BTW she may have had some ground to stand on.

Uh, yeah, there's no way the people saying this lawsuit is valid have even listened to Juda. The two sound nothing alike aside from the title, and as far as I know the letters J, U, D, and A in that order are not copyrighted.

I dunno but here are some of her highschool pix--judge for yourself:

Gaga is a natural brunette.

Oh shut up, you windbag. Stop making baseless assertions to stir drama.
