Did Lady Gaga copy Annie Lennox?

Instead of her saying its original she should be wise and honest to say "Inspired by .........."

its strange that most of these stars Madonna, Annie, etc can give props to earlier stars who everyone seems to miss .... how about Dietrich, Garbo, and not to be overlooked Miss Deborah Harry. Everyone is a fan of someones and why not dust off an old idea but at least give credit to where credit is due.

Grace Jones has also accused Ms. GaGa of "biting" her looks....with the nun habit.....Grace did that in the 80's.

@Houdini - Please, honey. With your flawed reasoning, if you were the real Houdini (and not the, um, "artist" who recently stole his name), you'd still be stuck in that milk can. Google it so you will have some idea what the hell I'm talking about. One cannot compare the broad generalites you cite with three very dintinct, specific examples of Gaga Plagiarism (Lennox, Madonna, Midler) and come up with a justification or rationalization for how/why The Gaga keeps getting caught with her hand in the cookie jar. For Lady Gaga to actually be the fan she claims to be of the women whose acts she keeps "borrowing", in order for her not to know that they did it first, she'd have to be ignorant to the point of being mentally impaired. No person can be a fan of any given performer without knowing their work. Maybe the problem is that a percentage of her fan base are fetuses who have no interest in knowing about life prior to Britney, Christina, and MTV's Real World. They think she's 100% original in what she's doing. People who actually pay attention can see right through her. Perhaps the problem is a cast of ill-informed, dizzy queens, tunnel-visioned hipsters, and assorted bohemian types who comprise her design team. If such is the case, then it's obvious these callow individuals never do their homework, and all should be released from employment to go find more life experience that doesn't involve plagiarism borne of ignorance. I like little Steph, I wish her well, and I enjoy what she does very, very much - WHEN what she does is actually original. And the word is "nitpicking", not "netpicking". Now go do your homework. And by "homework", I mean, of course, pay some damn attention to what has happened in pop culture for the last half century, instead of just the last 10 to15 years, so that you can discern whether or not what you saw in the last 15 minutes is original.

Copying??? Everyone, in whatever they do or did has unknowingly or inadvertently copied, repreated, or acted out what someone else did at some time in the past! Would you accuse Patton of copying the strategic moves made by Alexander? Or Longstreet's moves? There is always a limited number of ways one can say things, do things, or create things. Yes, the hominids has done--remember the use of a weapon to kill the neighbors? Remember the schema used as basis of laying out classical music few centuries ago? Enough said. Stop netpicking on Lady Gaga! Girl has to make a living too.
