JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm not a huge Madonna stan, but Madonna is the Madonna of our generation. She's not dead or by no means forgotten. Taylor is the Tayor of our generation. Stop comparing the two.

HighwayGuy 1,498 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Let's see if Taylor Swift can have decades of popularity in pop music before we call her "the next Madonna" All she's had is one successful pop era, it may not last Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjang 2,262 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I went on to say Gaga's our generation's Michael Jackson because they both have created massive impact in the industry and are actually some extremely talented artists. Just because I said this doesn't mean they have to be similar. So does how this thread relates Taylor Swift to Madonna when they are actually quite different from each other. So are you clear now? You yourself pointed out how Gaga can't dance like Michael, the thing is I was referring to how influential Gaga and Michael were. Hence, I had to remind you that every artist excels in their own field and because Gaga can't dance that well (a weakness you pointed out on Gaga), I had to point out how Michael wasn't as influential as Gaga in fashion (something Gaga excels in). So I guess each artist that excels in a certain department is the new MJ Good to know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

somnambulist 1,526 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The thing about madonna is that she WASN'T loved by EVERYONE. She created a following based on her shocking imagery and concepts along with some catchy music. She was banned by the Vatican for crying out loud, Taylor Swift is on pizza boxes, it's apples and oranges. Gaga is closer to this than Taylor is. Though in Gaga's case, most of the concepts "have been done" so she always gets accused of copying, so I guess what I'm saying is that no one can ever replicate Madonna ever again. Not everything Madonna did was original, she didn't invent voguing or crosses or disco, but she was always extremely good at branding herself so people believed she did. She is a master performer.

Angel Down 2,807 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Didn't people say that about Gaga 5 years ago, and then about Katy 1-2 years ago, and now Taylor? Plus isn't this a bit rude considering Madonna's alive, like Madonna's the Madonna of our generation THIS is precisely what I thought... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loribb 338 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Every girl who becomes very famous is new Madonna. Britney was new Madonna. Rihanna is Black Madonna. Kesha was about to become new Madonna. Jelena Karleuša is balkan Madonna Severina is Croatian Madonna. Miley Cyrus is 2013 Madonna. Taylor Swift is the newest Madonna. Katy Perry is Madonna, too. Cher was Madonna before Madonna. Natalia Kills is unknown Madonna. Gagz is biggest Madonna wannabe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,986 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 How can journalists still be spewing this nonsense? They're always from English speaking countries too. You don't see articles like this coming from say, Russia, Chile or Israel, do you? I picked these countries because, 1) Taylor has never toured these regions in her entire 9 year career. 2) Taylor has doesn't seem to sell in these regions. 3) Madonna has toured these regions and had large success there. Taylor is still growing as a worldwide act and her power is still limited abroad. You only need to look at Madonna's US sales vs. her global sales to see that she is a global force. Taylor's still a majorly local act and I don't think her global sales will ever outsell her US ones and she'll certainly never have a more successful tour abroad than she does in the US. For all the success that she's had, she still isn't touring Europe properly, her Asian presence needs work and there's still no attempt to become bigger in Latin American or African markets. I think that's a true sign of how far she still has to go before she can even be considered to be queen of pop.Madonna has at least 13 massive hits that the whole world knows and a whole lot more that her fanbase are big fans of. Taylor has, like, 3 or so. And the whole world certainly doesn't know all of them. When she creates a song that's as powerful as Like A Virgin, Material Girl or Like A Prayer, then we'll talk. I wasn't even born when those songs came out, no one ever taught me about them, there was no internet to search for them. But I knew of them. It's something like that that makes someone a queen of pop. Taylor's had some successful little ditties that are played now but won't be in years to come (do we even hear anything from her first three albums played anymore)? I'm not even a Madonna fan, I'm actually highly critical of her, but I'm not delusional and I am educated. To be honest, I think the only biggest popstars since Madonna have been Britney and Gaga, maybe Katy and Rihanna at a push. Most popstars do not have singles with impact or longevity anymore and Taylor certainly won't break that mould.By the way, could all the Taylor fans kindly reserve their smug gloating for Taylor fansites,Taylor sub-boards and Taylor newspaper/gossip site articles? Don't do it on a site dedicated to another artist. It's highly annoying and disrespectful to do this especially when Gaga's still trying to recover from a rough patch. A lot of you say "If you don't like her, just don't pay attention to her," but it's hard to do that when Taylor adoration infiltrates a site dedicated to another artist! Everywhere I look online, this girl pops up, so the least you could do is gloat in secret amongst fellow fans and make it easier for the rest of us who just want a break from her.

It was sarcasm, chill And for what it's worth, on madonnanation it's taylor swift who's used as a benchmark of success.
