Supersonic 49,371 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 German music journal laut.de (aka the Pitchfork of Germany) compiled a list of the greatest female popstars of all time, they're currently having a week long article series honoring women in music. Translation: #2 Lady Gaga There's a difference between a star and a superstar. The performance, the presentation. Keeping that in mind, Lady Gaga carved herself into our brains with numerous iconic moments. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta reincarnated herself thousands of times right in front of our eyes. She came with the flesh dress (which now has its own wikipedia article) or rode into the disco with a horse akin to Bianca Jagger in the fifth season of American Horror Story. To achieve this, she observed only the greatest of the music business: David Bowie, Queen, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Grace Jones. When the pinnacle of her insanity was reached with the release of 'ARTPOP' and she overheated for a short time, she recorded a jazz album with Tony Bennett and the released her most personal and mature record to date, 'Joanne'. Without ever losing a bit of her fame and star power, she's currently artistically trapped like Madonna was after 'Bedtime Stories', but Gaga has the talent to actually escape it. Without the substance and depth that lies beyond the colorful masks, costumes and alter egos, without her voice that barely gets wonky even under strain, without her songwriting that brought us larger-than-life monster hits like 'Poker Face', 'Bad Romance' and 'Telephone', her performances however would be worth barely anything. Together with clear words against the freshly elected Trump administration, she summarized all of this herself perfectly in this year's Super Bowl half-time show. List of greatest female pop stars of all time: Spoiler #1 Annie Lennox #2 Lady Gaga #3 Lorde #4 Miley Cyrus #5 Madonna #6 Agneta Faltskög & Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA #7 Nehneh Cherry #8 Cher #9 Kylie Minogue #10 Cyndi Lauper #11 Adele #12 Sia #15 P!nk #16 Spice Girls #17 Katy Perry #18 Christina Aguilera #19 Taylor Swift #20 Britney Spears #25 Gwen Stefani #27 HAIM Source: http://www.laut.de/News/Die-Frau-in-der-Musik-Folge-6:-Pop-30-06-2017-13760 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
