The Daily Mail published documents from the lawsuit battle between Lady Gaga and Rebecca Francescatti, a Chicago-based singer and songwriter who sued Gaga for basing her song “Judas” on her own “Juda,” from 1999.
Well, that lawsuit, initiated in 2011, was settled out of court two months ago (six years later). A judge originally ruled in Gaga's favor, but Francescatti appealed the decision arguing that the original ruling was invalid as it should be heard by a jury preferably made up of people with music experience, rather than being seen by a single district judge with limited experience. It worked; the case was finally dismissed two months ago after the plaintiff and Stefani germanista (Lady Gaga) agreed on a settlement - the amount Gaga paid Francescatti was not disclosed.
However, what is revealing about this case is that we learned (again) that LADY GAGA GETS CREDITED ON SONGS, AS A SONGWRITER / PRODUCER, DESPITE NOT WORKING ON THEM.
Francescatti's attorney William Niro called the pop star 'a liar' and reveals text messages between Gaga, 31, and her producer RedOne (Nadir Kyayat) who was also working with Jennifer Lopez at the time. These messages prove that Lady Gaga has no credibility as she often lies about the creation of her songs.
After hearing J-Lo's Invading My Mind, Gaga immediately feared that people would accuse her of being a 'copycat' and 'unoriginal,' according to her text messages.
According to court papers, the conversation began on March 17, 2010, when Gaga sent a text message to RedOne saying: 'We need to update Judas beat..it sounds to (sic) much like Jlo 'invading'... redone!!!! We have a big problem.'
Hours later, around midnight, Gaga continued: 'Red.. It is exactly like judas I can hear that the same midi was used and moved around. U have to change the track for her..even the FORMAT is the same ....,' she said.
Gaga added: 'And its (sic) on perezhilton.com as a leak. And peeople (sic) will say I stole from jlo! I love judas SO MUCH but I can't look like a copycat of JLO!!!!'
Later that morning, a frantic Gaga sent another message to RedOne asking if Lopez's song has been changed. She went on to say: 'I am very concerned about this JLo thing. Iʹm afraid you and I are gonna look bad. What if people say Iʹm unoriginal because of this? I am so afraid. I played it for a few more people They were worried.’
According to court papers, Gaga suggested a plan to RedOne that evening:
'Maybe if u gave me credit on both songs it would avoid comparison? …. Iʹm very concerned I will get accused of being unoriginal. But if u credit me on both records ..oneee for production, one for writing it will certainly help w the comparisons.’
RedOne eventually agreed and replied: ‘Embrace!!!! It ONLY will make you look credible and masssssive!!!! .... Trust me.’
Lady-unoriginal-Gaga then replied:
‘IF and only IF u give me production credit on invading my mind, ill give [her Hypnotico record] Because this was if anyone notices similarities, I can say "I worked on that record [with RedOne]’
To which Red One responded: 'OF COURSE!'
After their text message exchange, RedOne took to Twitter to announce Lady Gaga had 'produced/wrote' Jennifer Lopez's track:
The documents (which you can visualize them on the Daily Mail) show Germanotta admitted she had 'never spoken to Jennifer Lopez,' and RedOne testified admitting she had done 'NO WORK' on the song.
So there. Now it is OFFICIAL; it is on court documents: Lady Gaga makes deals with her producers to get credited as a songwriter and producer just because she doesn’t want to look bad.
It’s not the first time Gaga is exposed as a fraud regarding her songwriting. Remember when Linda Perry let it all out and let the world know that Lady Gaga did not co-write the Oscar-nominated song, Til It Happens to You?
I have Diane's original demo with her singing. The only line that has been changed [is] 'Till you're at the end, the end of your rope' originally was 'Til you got a hole ripped in your soul.' So I guess technically one line was changed so sure Gaga possibly 'rewrote' a line. But chances are Diane still took part in rewriting that line which means Gaga contributed a few words. Is that writing. Not in my book.
The irony of it all is that back in 2011, Lady gaga told Vogue magazine she considered herself “one of the greatest songwriters” in the game. This girl is not only delusional, she is a pathological liar.
