Pop icon Madonna may have fired another salvo in the ongoing musical feud between her and Mother Monster Lady Gaga.
The Material Girl reportedly may be using her upcoming concert tour as a forum to perform a Material Girl/Mother Monster mash-up.
During a recent concert rehearsal in Israel, Madonna was caught on video performing her 1989 composition, Express Yourself, before transitioning into Lady Gagas Born This Way, complete with the sound of a revving motorcycle that is Gagas trademark.
Madonna seamlessly flipped back and forth between the choruses of both songs to further illustrate the similarities. She ended with a drum-driven remix of Express Yourself and chanted chorus of Respect yourself shes not me.
Whether it was an homage or a pointed dig went unstated, but Madonna told Nightline anchor Cynthia McFadden in a January interview that Lady Gagas hit song Born This Way felt reductive of Express Yourself.
Watch: Lady Gaga talks about faith and family, and sings Marry the Night.
Lady Gaga has made her mark with a unique style of dress and music that many say is reminiscent of Madonnas iconic style and attitude.
And its no secret that the Poker Face singer admires Madonna; she has spoken of her regard for the pop icon. But the admiration apparently is not mutual.
Last year when a Belgian magazines reporter asked Madonna about her fans, including Lady Gaga, the singer replied, according to the magazine: I have no comment on her obsessions related to me, because I do not know if it is based on something profound or superficial.
