Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I seriously did not know how to make the title sound clear at all I consider the (Female) Pop Icons for their generations are Madonna (80s to Mid 90s) Britney Spears (Late 90s to Late 00s) Lady Gaga (Late 00s to Late 10s/Early 20s) This thread isn't to debate who the Pop icons are, or how long they'll last. This is just to compare patterns I see in their music. This is also not me saying that Britney and Gaga copied Madonna, but I think they all took a Music Path that led them to Pop Icon status. These aren't really organized they are just patterns I saw in their music that are present in each one of their careers Huge Breakout Single That Went to Number 1 (No Gradual Climb with other Singles): Like A Virgin/Baby One More Time/Just Dance (Madonna's was a little more Gradual, but Still Very Breakout into Stardom) Early Single That Matched, or Came Close to Their First Hit's Success: Material Girl/Oops I Did it Again/Poker Face Most Iconic Song Released a Few Years into Their Career: Like A Prayer/Toxic/Bad Romance Theatrical Single: Material Girl/Lucky/Paparazzi Single Later into Career that Became as Well Known as their Debut: Vogue/Womanizer/Born This Way (or Applause) Successful Single That Caused Them Backlash for its Controversy: Like a Prayer/Alejandro/If U Seek Amy Huge Comeback Single: Hung Up/Gimme More/Applause (or TBA) Iconic Collaboration: Me Against the Music (Britney Spears)/Me Against the Music (Madonna)/Telephone (Beyoncé) Single About Saying FU to Haters: Human Nature/Piece of Me/Do What U Want Song about Self Expression: Express Yourself/Stronger(maybe?)/Born This Way Underwhelming Lead Single: American Life (Maybe idk it didn't chart well)/Work B*tch (or Make Me)/Perfect Illusion Less Iconic "Rival" That was Expected to Have More Influence in the Long Run, but Didn't: Cyndi Lauper/Christina Aguilera/Katy Perry and there's probably a lot more that I missed Do you think some of these similarities are apart of the Pop Icon Formula? Or does none of these makes sense and this whole thread was a Perfect Delusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this jam, really dislike her voice during most of the song. And as usual the visuals mesmerizing. Madonna's career has no parallel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,478 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Gimme more wasn't a smash, it had great backlash Piece of me was the hit if i'm not wrong, at least i remember it being the biggest hit from Blackout in my country and being very talked about. Edit Seems like it was no3 on Billboard. And it also went no1 in Canada, but Piece of Me was more sucessful overall and generated more buzz, the buzz for Gimme More was just how high she was at the VMAS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
