Quark 7,085 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 o<(0_0)>o To start, Madonna was definitely an influence to Gaga, specially at the beginning of her career. But she is actually not as big of an influence as you think. Gaga's influences are broad and varied, but they mostly come from rock band or rockstars. Her biggest influences will be people like David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Prince, Beck, ect. The fact that she is a pop star or at least started out as a pop star is what augmented the comparisons to Madonna who is another female popstar. The constant media comparisons is what created this sensation that her biggest influence is Madonna. However, if you play close attention to the music that she listens to, the the artists that she talks about and admires the most, and to the the direction in artistry that she is morphing into, you will she that Madonna is clearly not that big on an influence to Gaga.

Um... let's not lie to ourselves. She played a huge role in shaping Gaga. Sure, other musicians had a greater influence on Gaga, but you're argument is that she is not a big influence on Gaga. Don't play with semantics if you are just going to use them to your advantage when it is most convenient to you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 After the Alejandro music video that's when everyone really started to think she was the biggest influence. I do think Gaga was influenced by Medoner before the Fame to the Fame Monster, I honestly don't think Born This Way (album and the song) sound at all like Madonna copies, it just has an 80's pop sound and the lead was about accepting yourself but thats really it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes, she is though she even said it herself. It's not a bad thing though. Madonna had plenty of influences too. It's just how things work. You are influenced by those before you and nothing is completely original. Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has worn outfits inspired by David Bowie, songs inspired by David Bowie, a tribute and a Tattoo of David Bowie, and yet Madonna is still a big just because of BTW?

sipthistea 21,099 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think Gaga admired her 'til she was very rude towards her. But I agree that bands and male artists have played a major role in Gaga's artistry, more than Madonna. They're completely different onstage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
