Madonna Praises Lady Gaga’s X Factor

Lady Gaga gag

Gaga is a poor man's Madonna rip-off at best.

Anyone notice how similar her voice is to the lead singer of Ace of Base?

Whenever I look at Gaga I just think... been there, done that - and not just by Madonna. Think Kylie, Britney, Christina and the slew of other female pop femme fetales who depend on dominatrix gear to try & grab attention to their act, no matter how well conceptualized or not it may be.

I just think Gaga is firing in the wrong direction artistically, when she could be so much more. Really - what she needs is a subtext that works and is relevant; at least Madonna had that when she was her age, or even younger. Gaga needs to START MAKING SENSE to people, out of all the nonsense she throws at us, and quit pretending it's some sort of relevant art. If what she does really matters, the 'art' ought to be speaking volumes for itself. But sadly, it misfires at this early stage in her career.

She may demonstrate some degree of technical prowess at singing, the piano and in the pure theatrical aspect of her performances, all edgy and provocative for the sake of being provocative (with nothing 'really' significant or meaningful to provoke mind you)... but if you were to strip away all the layers, the aesthetic value really amounts to nought. You don't walk away from a performance of hers feeling genuinely touched, in spite of all the extravagance and drama. When compared to Madonna in her upcoming years, you realise there's actually precious little in Gaga's performances - whereas Madonna made an impact and delivered messages that made you think, beneath all the elaborate costumery and stage effects. Gaga's messages though, cannot be generalised to a very wide population, e.g. does she model herself as a gay activist, a made-for-theatre type who happened to get lucky, or is she just another young woman who wants a piece of the fame pie and the chance to bask in a spotlight as
