Obviously this person's musical knowledge doesn't extend beyond Gaga and Madonna.

The constant shock factor– whether you are a fan or not– is something that Lady Gaga provides that Madonna hasn’t.

In fact, this person doesn't seem to know about Madonna's history.
I agree that Gaga is better than what Madonna is currently serving us up with (although we'll have to wait for ARTPOP to properly judge), but the author of this article comes off as being a bit childish and limited in their sense of music and pop culture history.
And since when did "Like a Virgin" sound anything like "Billie Jean"? Talk about reaching. There are much better and well-known examples of Madonna biting other people's ideas, and this is what they could come up with? Is the writer a 12-year-old?
