She may be the Queen of Pop ,but even Madonna has to give credit when it’s due.
Currently engaged in a ‘feud’ with her Pop daughter Lady GaGa, this week saw the Oscar winning ‘Take A Bow‘ icon share her thoughts on GaGa’s talent- after labeling her unoriginal following ‘Express This Way’ Gate.
Full story below…
During an interview with Italy’s ‘Republica’, Madonna was asked:
Is Lady GaGa a threat or only another temporary “spice girl”?
Then, after her agent tried to divert the line of questioning back to her tour, the ‘Material Girl’ admitted:
She is an artist with a great, high level of talent.
The release of her remarks lands two days after her rival addressed the matter during a ‘Born This Way’ Ball in New Zealand, which saw her admit that she had no intentions of ‘fighting back’.
It should be noted that the ‘Republica‘ interview may have been taken before GaGa response and the launch of the ‘MDNA’ Tour, which sees Madonna perform a mash up of her ‘Express Yourself’ and Germanotta’s ‘Born This Way‘.

The entire MDNA era has revolved around Gaga. It’s insane and I feel like this is Madonna’s way of passing the torch onto Gaga. There’s no way Madonna would stoop so low if she truly disliked Gaga. Maybe she’s testing Gaga to see if Gaga can take, and so far, Gaga’s been taking it like a champ.

Meaning Spice Girls were a joke (or Britney Spears) and Gaga is talent. I have to agree with Madonna. Both have talent and their own artistry, I think it would be good to stop it here, specially for Madonna

Not that the number of grammys actually matter, but no, Rihanna doesn’t have 5 grammys, she has over 10 grammys attached to her name, either as a lead artist or featured artist

No she doesnt rihanna has 6. Only 2 for her own songs, 2 for run this town and 2 for all of the lights. There’s no such thing as attached to her name. The grammys are explicit about who gets what in each category. She doesnt have enough to lose count of and droppin that bogus lie “over 10″. Shady tactic

[...] Regardless, That Grape Juice reports that Madge replied, “She is an artist with a great, high level of talent.” But we prefer Google’s translation of the original interview: Closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, holds its breath. Invokes some kind of saints or demons to maintain self-control: “She is an artist with a great talent.” [...]

i’m so over those 2 fighting then making up then fighting then making up again ..
and i know Madonna got nothing to worry about , she’s already in history books , so ..
i like them both ‘ maybe madonna more , but still … ” , and i know “Madonna” respect gaga as a talented artist , but not her work when it is copied from her ……..
she just wish GaGa never Touched her known stuffs , but Madonna did it all , so no matter what , it will appear as if someone is copying her even when it is not the case , talk about the queen of re-invention and versatility
so … if Chris brown and rihanna could have made a duet while being .. ” well , you all know it ” !!
can we have A DUET between those pop royals ?
i will support this one
#RANDOM : has anyone beside me noticed that in the ” Express yourself/born this way video” madonna made fun of little monsters ?
like she brought a lil cartoon of little monsters eat canned food with madonna’s famous antics “pony tail” and ” cone bra” and bowie’s famous “bolt” sign on the labels ? as if little monsters know nothing about past music icons and that they don’t know lady gaga is just a xerox !!!
i don’t know , but when i was in the concert , this is how i saw it !!

It’s all planned, Madonna has praised Gaga before, in her interview when she was in the Graham Norton Show, i think people just love to hate Madonna because she’s more arrogant and way too much honest but Hey! it’s what makes her Madonna.
