The `American Idol` judge is a big fan of the `Born This Way` singer and insists creative people like Gaga make her want to be more experimental with her own music.
Speaking about the phenomenal success Gaga has achieved, J.Lo said: "I`m always motivated by other artists and inspired by them. They inspire me because when I see other people doing great things, it makes me want to do great things too."
Lopez got to experience Gaga`s talents up close when she worked with her on the tracks `Hypnotico` and `Invading My Mind` for her latest album `Love?`.
In an interview with MTV News, the `On the Floor` hitmaker revealed: "I love her (Gaga`s) sense of lyric and melody, I feel like she`s very interesting. It`s just not something you?re gonna hear every day."
She added: "I really love the records she worked on and was glad to be able to take those and make them my own and actually have that collaboration with her. I feel very lucky to have done that."
Despite her admiration for Gaga, Lopez has no plans to copy some of the 25-year-old musician`s more outrageous antics, which have included wearing a meat dress to the MTV Video Music Awards last year and arriving at this year`s Grammys in an `egg`.
Lopez, 41, said: "I never am one to look at other people and try to do what they do. I always feel like a true artist does what they do and it is very individual to who they are.
"You can`t copy or do anything like that it just becomes weird but if you`re true to yourself and push your own boundaries and your limits, you can`t help but come out with something great."
