Linda Perry Doesn’t Think Gaga Deserves Her Oscar Nom

Lady Gaga may be halfway to claiming a spot in the coveted EGOT circle (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). But not everyone thinks she deserves her Oscar nomination.

4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry took to Twitter to voice her disapproval and Gaga's chance at an Academy Award for her song, "Til It Happens to You," a song about campus rape that had an intensely emotional video released last year.

Normally I wouldn't respond to all this but I don't know Im feeling spunky. There was another artist that originally was gonna sing #TIHTY

I have Diane's original demo with her singing. The only line that has been changed "Till you're at the end, the end of your rope"

Originally was "TIL YOU GOT A HOLE RIPPED IN YOUR SOUL". So I guess technically one line was changed so sure Gaga possibly "rewrote" a line

But chances are Diane still took part in rewriting that line which means Gaga contributed a few words. Is that writing? Not in my book.

I love Gaga so much respect and love this song that has nothing to do with anything. Why did Gaga get credit? Maybe because ...

Diane wanted to ensure her support in promoting the song. Gaga is a very smart business women she knew a song written by Diane Warren

Would be up for an Oscar. And you know it's hard getting music out there and heard. Especially a song from a documentary , so Diane knew

If she gave Gaga writing credit it would ensure the support this song needed and deserved. And Gaga knows her power. I'm not putting anyone

Or anything down. I'm stating the truth . I credit Diane for writing this song, it is her experience her pain her words. That's it kids.

Good night! What good is twitter if you can't ruffle some feathers once in a while.. #truth

If Gaga won the Oscar this year that would leave only an empty place on her mantle for a Tony award, and any little monster could tell you that the songs for a great musical already exist in each of her albums. All that remains is a narrative to string them together.
