LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 11 pages of arguing, and for what? Such a lovely article by a respectable musician is totally ignored. *sigh*BOTH Madonna and Gaga are queens. BOTH have contributed to music history. Madonna is a living legend and Gaga is well on her way. Both were influenced and inspired by others, while they themselves serve to influence and inspire contemporaries and future generations. So enough with this petty nonsense.As for Boy George it's always nice hearing an icon speak about his thoughts on the future of music, pop culture, and social changes. He witnessed a great many things and himself tried to encourage progression, in all areas. And it's nice that he has a high opinion of Gaga. :) Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 141,605 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 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. As you can see, I agree. So why are we arguing? Not to feed into this messy argument but Madonna's literal words were: "The only time I ever criticized Lady Gaga was when I felt like she blatantly ripped off one of my songs." That's why I don't like her. The whole material girl ego thing is just SUCH a put off. Like, seriously, a song by a modern artist who had nothing but praise for you (and many others) puts out a song that vaguely sounds like a song you put out 30 years ago and it's a blatant ripoff? Get over yourself, woman The whole "reductive" comment, shouting "I have the best fans in the world, so take that, Lady Gaga!" in 2012, and even being so petty as to dedicate a segment of her MDNA tour to slamming Gaga. I'd probably love her if she didn't try to provoke everyone all the time, starting feuds, then when it gets out of hand it's "Oh, the industry always pits women/artists against each other." Mariah, Janet, Whitney, Gaga, Prince, MJ, Idk how many others she's feuded with or dissed but she always has something to say and it's hardly ever anything nice. When it is, it's a give and take situation like calling Kanye a "Beautiful mess". I can't stan for someone with that much drama to cause and feed. I know Gaga takes her little shots now and then (I see you, Katy), but it seems like these days that's all that Madge has to offer. All that being said, she is talented. I don't know what these people are on about, she has one of the most successful music careers of all time, is a touring force, has pretty good music, and did revolutionize the music industry so she's got to be doing something right. OT: I'm so happy with all the praise Gaga's been getting lately she really deserves it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media love to exaggerate things and things are taken out of context. Both Gaga and Madonna fans fell for it. The truth that everyone refuse to see is that Madonna & Gaga don't hate each other.

I only take what comes out of Madonna's mouth tbh. Direct quotes and videos, otherwise I won't site it as a source everything I said was true I know they don't hate each other, I never did. I just thought Madonna was being Madonna and Gaga may have had her feelings hurt, but that's about it. I never bought into the big tabloid show about it or the stupid fan wars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
