fucbjk 631 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Â In an interview with Pridesource, The lead singer of the band Culture Club praised Lady Gaga's versatility, talked about what he feels about comparing her to Madonna & How trans community is still overlooked despite Caitlyn Jenner. Â What do you think it says about the current state of the music industry that Gaga ended up toning down her image? Actually, what I think is interesting about Lady Gaga is she's an incredible theatrical vocalist. She has a whole Judy Garland / Liza Minnelli thing going on, and I'm actually more of a fan of what's she's doing now than... I mean, I loved what she did in the beginning. It was great. I remember seeing her on TV and thinking, "What's she got on now?!" (Laughs) But in terms of her musicality, what she's doing now is amazing. I was in bed a few months ago - I had to get up really early the next day - and there was an advertisement for Gaga and Tony Bennett. There was a show on TV and I said, "Well, I'll watch a bit of it and then I'll go to sleep." I ended up watching the whole thing and being gobsmacked by how great she was. How fair are the comparisons to Madonna? I'm not saying this to diss Madonna at all - I mean, Madonna doesn't have anything to prove to anyone; she's Madonna! - but I really felt all those comparisons were a bit stupid. Of course someone like Lady Gaga, who's younger than Madonna, is gonna be influenced by Madonna. It's a complete compliment. That's how you have to view it. Whenever I see anybody working a look that I might've had back in the day - I've done it. Why do I need to get upset about it?

somnambulist 1,526 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I've never understood the comparisons. Madonna would NEVER do a song like Gypsy. She's just not that kind of artist. Gaga is discovering herself, she's done a few songs that are similar to Madonna songs, but people need to take a step back. Gaga is MUCH more theatrical and her vocals shine as opposed to madonna who is more focused on being a master performer and relies on concepts and themes more than pure vocal talent. Both are valid.

Both are equally theatrical  just watch The Blond Ambition Tour & The Girlie Show. The comparisons are valid. No one can deny Madonna's influence on Gaga as an artist and performer. The real issue has always been obvious ; Madonna fans claiming Gaga's blatantly ripping off Madonna (when Madge herself denied that claim) OR Gaga fans claiming that Gaga doesn't resemble Madonna at all. It's a conflict between two close minded mentalities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
