Can someone tell me why everyone is comparing Gaga to Madonna? Or Xtina or Bey, for fuck sake, Gaga is her OWN artist. Yes she has streaks of Madonna in her, but Madonna ripped off plenty of people back in her time i.e. Marilyn Monroe, Ken Russel, the staple singers etc. So for Madonna to call Gaga a fraud is actually just downright hypocritical. Pop music is just recycled old stuff. Once people get that through their thick skulls there won't be any of this nonsense. Also, back in Madonna's day there was no social media, so even if people wanted to call Madonna out on her rip-offs, they didn't have the means to. So it's quite unfair to be honest and Madge is just taking advantage. I think what it comes down to is that Madge is jealous of Gaga. Gaga has a beautiful, soaring voice, confirmed by this article, AND she plays the piano professionally. Madonna has never been famous for her voice. It was more an image thing for her. And now she's losing that image, she's doing everything she can to stay in the game which actually just makes her look desperate. Sorry Madonna. Gaga is stealing your crown.
