Lady Gaga faces charges of stealing song "Shallow"

Singer and actress Lady Gaga could go to court because Steve Ronsen, who is an amateur musician, is suing to have stolen his song "Shallow" and is seeking multimillion-dollar compensation, reports Cosmopolitan.
Lady Gaga had a great career before making the movie "A Star Is Born", and her role in this movie only contributed to her fame. The movie was marked by a phenomenal performance of the song "Shallow" in which she is joined by Bradley Cooper.

Specifically, the song he claims to be identical to hers is called "Almost" and has been on his Sound Cloud for seven years. The man's name is Steve Ronsen, and his song had only 300 views before the lawsuit. It now numbers nearly 220,000 listeners, most of which were clicks generated by Gagini's enraged fans.

"I've been told several times that Shallow sounds like my song. So, I didn't notice it first, and I didn't even watch the movie, which I heard was very good. I admire Gaga and want to conclude this. I don't judge anyone directly. A professional musician told me the songs sound identical, ”Ronsen quoted on his Sound Cloud, among others.



Although neither the music nor the lyrics resemble his song, Ronson claims that the identical notes used in his song were used. However, Gaga's team claims that the notes mentioned are exactly the ones most commonly used in songs.

According to sources close to the singer, she is very angry and wants to fight to the end. Both teams hired professionals who analyzed the songs and came to the conclusion that these were not the same songs, but the same three repeated notes, which did not necessarily mean that the song was stolen.
