Lady Gaga/Madonna Mash Up

So much has been said and written lately about Lady Gaga's current hit "Born this Way" being a rip-off of Madonna's hits particularly "Express Yourself" and "Vogue". While browsing in YouTube for any video comparison between these two, I stumbled on this very, very brilliant cover by a male artist named Omar Afuni- a half-Jordanian, half-Lebanese singer who is incidentally born, raised and is still based here in Kuwait.



Yes, he is a guy singing  two "girl" songs but hey, you can't deny the fact, HE IS GOOD! I ended up subscribing to his site where he has a lot of cool covers of other hits like this newest mash up of Jessie J's Price Tag and Black Eyed Peas' Where is the Love?.

If you like his songs, you can visit his official website, become a fan at Facebook or follow him on Twitter and show your support on his dreams.
