The quirky female singer spoke out for the first time against the embarrassing plagiarism suspicion recently.

How could I try to release a plagiarized product and think I could outshine everyone? That’s so stupid. Asking me whether I plagiarized or not is ridiculous. I dare to look you straight in the eye and say that I am not stupid or foolish enough to think you are stupid or foolish enough to not realize that I stole the melody of a song.”

“If you put the two songs next to each other, you can see that the only similarity between them is the chord progression. That thing appeared in disco music 50 years ago. Just because I’m the only artist in the last 25 years to have a song like this reach Top 40 radio doesn’t mean I’m plagiarizing. It just means I’m too smart. Sorry for that.” – Gaga “thoughtfully” explained.
She continued: “I was really shocked by this suspicion of plagiarism… When you send a message like that to the world , there’s no way something so pure and young could be wrong.” Okay.”
