What is 2010's worst Lady Gaga ripoff?

  • February 18, 2010
  • Popjustice

In the brown corner: Cascada with their new single 'Pyromania'.

Also in the brown corner: Jason Derulo with 'In My Head'.

We'd have to say Cascada win this one.

Not only is the song itself so deriv­at­ive that it makes ITV2 seem like the home of boundary-busting broad­cast­ing but even its video takes a lead from 'Poker Face'. Just how watered down is Cascada's Lady Gaga ripoff? Well con­cep­tu­ally, even, 'Pyromania' is just a dodgy ripoff of last summer's RedOne-produced Sean Kingston tune 'Fire Burning' which itself was a dodgy Gaga-esque knockoff, and if there's one thing we've learned from the last twelve months it's that there is only one person permitted to make dodgy RedOne sound­a­likes, and that's RedOne.
