Unknown songwriters attorney: "In an effort to amicably resolve this matter months ago, my office provided Lady Gaga’s legal team, at their request, with an official report from a renowned and respected musicologist and professor who determined that there are significant tempo, melodic, rhythmic and harmonic similarities between the two ‘hooks’ of the songs at issue. Lady Gaga’s team has yet to provide my office with an opposing musicologist report, which we have requested multiple times.”

Gaga's attorney: "Mr. Ronsen and his lawyer are trying to make easy money off the back of a successful artist. It is shameful and wrong. I applaud Lady Gaga for having the courage and integrity to stand up on behalf of successful artists who find themselves on the receiving end of such [claims]. Should Mr. Shirian proceed with this case, Lady Gaga will fight it vigorously and will prevail.”

Everybody stream 'Shallow' and support our gorgeous talented icon x

Has it took him this long to notice or is it just making the press now?

Either way I can’t see him winning there’s no real similarity at all

They wait until the song has passed its peak and accumulated all the sales so that they can get a higher figure in damages

Plus someone else just won their case a week ago suing Katy Perry over Dark Horse, I'm sure that's no coincidence either!

Every time one of these silly lawsuits happen it's a sad day for music, tragic when one of them wins too.
