Lady Gaga just keeps putting out the hits. Somebody on her team must be doing their mega hit research. One of Gaga’s latest singles “Alejandro” (2010 2009) bears a striking resmblance to the 90’s Ace of Base hit “Don’t Turn Around”. I just discovered via Wikipedia that Tina Turner recorded the first version of “Don’t Turn Around” in 1986. Most of us are probably familiar with the 1994 Ace of Base version as heard below.

Lady Gaga sampled the Ace of Base song. It should never have been a mystery to anyone.
i completely disagree. it just sounds like your typical reggae/ska sound. & whats wrong with that? i fucken love reggae. & i mean, if you guys really want me to go down that road, lemme just say that they BOTH ripped off Bob Marley. Which I wouldnt even say, because I dont think they did, I think neither of them meant to “copy” anyone elses beat or sound, i dont think that was theyre intentions. so why not just let it go already?
Girl STFU! It’s obvious Lady Gaga’s Alejandro was inspired by Ace of Base’s Don’t Turn Around.. If you dont hear it then you are obviously DEAF & DUMB and should avoid music related sites like these in the future. I hate ppl that look up at the sky & try to tell you it’s not blue =/
Why would anyone bother listening to crapola from Ladi GAG-GAG in the first place!
I would like to add “Moi… Lolita” by Alizée, released in 2000.
