Why does the old band, ACE OF BASE, sound exactly like Lady Gaga? Is this plagiarism?
Is the Ace of Base still around? I don't think Gaga was old enough to be in the old Ace of Base so why does she sound the same and use the same beat? On her latest song it seems that even the words are the same, or similar. Is this plagiarism?
I welcome answers from all, but would prefer to hear mainly from aficionados of both bands. It seems to me that you would either LOVE them both or NOT love them both. Loving one but not the other seems impossible IMHO.
No thumbs down. I just want to know if anyone else is picking up the spooky similarity here.

Is there such a thing as an Ace of Base aficionado?
But seriously, Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Whore of Babylon) is a corporate fabrication. Ace of Base was a Universal Music product, which owns Interscope, right? And Lady Gaga is an Interscope product, so are you really surprised?

The entertainment industry is built on plagiarism. Everyone sounds like everyone else to some degree. I had never noticed it before, but, yes, she does sound pretty similar vocally to Ace Of Base. But I think she is copying Madonna more than anyone else, especially on her song "Alejandro."

It's because trends seem to repeat themselves. After 10-20yrs. it becomes retro and people start to like the sound again. Kinda like corduroy pants. I think they've gone in and out of style 3 times since I was a kid, and yeah I wore em'. (If I can admit that, then it's o.k. to say I listened to Ace of Bace) :)

Can you give an example?
To me she's totally different?
I know "All that she wants" as that was their biggest song in the UK, doesn't sound much like GAGA though???
What songs do you mean???
Listen to Jason DeRulo - In My Head,,,,,,he's ripped off Lady Gaga - Just Dance!
The copying just goes on and on and on!

There are many similarities. i guess they figure it made money before why not keep it going around. many other musicians sound similar to.
