Gaga Madonna Comparisons

I'm talking about music, impact on the cultural scene, and style, not personality/shady comments/etc.

Why do some fans get so annoyed by it? Madonna is a legend, they've made up, and their fight was overblown in the first place. Gaga clearly has the better voice, but the comparisons (snarky from the ones who think she ripped her off, and non-snarky) should just be shrugged off or taken as a compliment imo. Some of the Madonna stans were definitely insanely vicious towards Gaga, but stan behavior shouldn't reflect the artist's impact.

And truth is there are some minor similarities between Express Yourself and Born This Way, although the similarities were definitely blown up/exaggerated. And Madonna, like Gaga, did shape-shift a bit.

Just a thought. I feel like a collaboration between them would blow up even if Madonna hasn't had a real hit in many years.

Gaga has worked so hard to make her own lane and has done many things that no one could ever dream of.

 

It’s insulting to reduce her down to a “version of” Madonna or derivative of.

Yeah, I think the she's  a version or derivative of Madonna comments are annoying and wrong, but I feel like this happens to a lot of popgirls where they constantly get compared to others. More so with Gaga, but that's because she's been open about her inspiration and Madonna's comments.

Because Gaga should be valued as a unique artist in her own right and someone who is creative. Calling her a clone of Madonna or the next/new Madonna diminishes her talent and impact and can be irritating for her fans. If anything Gaga is more "like" and has more in common with Bowie than anyone else, but that narrative is never pushed. It just shows how the industry likes to pit women against one another.

Idk Madonna seems shady. She gone back and forth on trashing Gaga throughout the years. And it clearly bothers Gaga. She's talked about as recently as  Five Foot Two and her Beats 1 promo in 2016. Now that  Gaga won the Oscar that Madonna was never able to she wants to make up? :fthis:

I think both are absolutely amazing performers and I adore both of them. I do think Born This Way sounds like Express Yourself. I can literally sing them on top of the other. They are very similar.

That being said though, this stan war is ridiculous and needs to end. They made up, so people just need to get over it. Don't have to like either of them. But get OVER it.

Bitch I'm Madonna
