A hot topic of discussion that has arisen from Lady GAGA's video "Marry The Night" is that she has actually stolen a lot of material from Lina Morgana: from her look, to her sound, to her tormented adolescence, etc. So, who is Lina Morgana? As far as the internet knows... she was a talented young girl who committed suicide by jumping off a building circa October 2008, a few months after GAGA's The Fame came out. Her and GAGA were collaborators for a while, and apparently Morgana was very close to making it big. That is, until GAGA gained her own momentum.
The buzz around VigilantCitizen is that Lina Morgana was a sacrifice to the Illuminati leading way to GAGA's initiation, fame, and success. Then again, a website dedicated to seeing Illuminati mind-control in everything will stretch very far in order to portray that message in a believable light. (But I love it!)

GAGA ripped off Madonna, then she ripped off Marilyn Manson, then some virtually unknown up-and-coming artist. Musically, her influences are pretty clear - except in the case of Morgana. - I don't hear it! However, evidence of her fashionista thievery is everywhere: Madonna, Cher, Grace Jones... the list will never stop. Is this really a rip-off? Many types of artists would have to admit that they emulate in certain ways whatever it is that inspires or influences them. They can therefore call themselves artists because whatever they are creating is still distinctly original, yet at the same time a bigger, better, and improved version 2.0. This is masterful thievery. (see my appeal to authority below). Can't this thievery be seen in a positive light? Can't it be a homage to the musical giants before her? What do you think?
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.” ― Jim Jarmusch
