Lady Gaga v. Madonna. No comparison.
Lady Gaga v. Madonna. No comparison.
So, there is no denying the fact that Lady Gaga has made her mark in the world of music and pop culture, some suggest that she has transcended Madonna. I am astounded by these claims scattered in throughout our newspaper columns, magazines, websites etc. Have we forgotten the story of the Material Girl - the kind of New York story that inspires the dreamers in the world that "anything can happen on the streets of New York"? May I remind you that Madonna Ciccone came from a middle class family in Detroit who came to this city with next to nothing? There was no corporate machine behind her as she looked interviewers dead in the eye claiming she "would rule the world". Her bravado and ambition was all her own - even her "look" was a unique blend of Gothic ballet dancer with thrift store quirkiness. Her image was all her own - she was actually one of the first stars to bring high fashion to the mainstream public eye. Lady Gaga, is talented yes...but from the beginning was a brand - even her music feels bottled. Can anyone tell the difference between Love Game and Poker Face? Let us not insult the icon that is Madonna...Lady Gaga has awhile to go before she can even live in the same realm as Lady M.
