Lady GaGa says sorry for saying “retarded”

Lady GaGa has apologised for her use of the word “retarded”.

The singer recently responded to claims that he track Born This Way is a little too similar to Madonna’s Express Yourself.

“I’m a songwriter,” GaGa said. “I’ve written loads of music. Why would I try to put out a song and think I’m getting one over on everybody? That’s retarded.

“What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about… If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I’m the first f***ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn’t mean I’m a plagiarist, it means that I’m f***ing smart. Sorry.”

Well now GaGa has issued an apology via Perez Hilton.

“I consider it part of my life’s work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance. My apologies for not speaking thoughtfully. To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional. An honest mistake, requires honesty to make,” she said. “Whether life’s disabilities, left you outcast bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today.”
