Obviously Madonna, I haven't seen Gaga losing a multi-million deal, getting banned on MTV, getting an entire country wanting to kill her,...

Have you heard of Jakarta, sis? Terrorists bought a ticket for her show just to kill her because of the Judas controversy, her blasphemous acts and also for her stand on the LGBT community.

Anyways, I don't know why anyone would compare these two when one of them is only just 4 years in her career and the other one has been in the music industry for decades.

Madonna

I'd say that Christina is the true risk taker, for a variety of reasons.

For one thing, she's never really defined a clear direction vocally or for the genre of music she sings, her image really is all over the place, which tends to confuse audiences. Confused audiences = less of a fan base. Furthermore, unlike most artists who claim to be chameleons, Christina's vocals/vocal nuances change and adapt accordingly to various genres, whereas the others think they're being unique by just putting on a different colored wig and changing up the song production on consecutive eras. Point-blank-period, GaGa modeled her "versatility" on Christina's career. It's so obvious.

Secondly, she doesn't come off extremely desperate when a single or era flops, which is the sign of a true risk taker. Despite coming off a flop era (Bionic), she didn't feel the need to rush release another regular studio album the following year, and has yet to properly perform her lead single off Lotus, Your Body. That don't give a **** attitude is risky.

I could go on and on.

Yes. TBH I don't see any risk in Gaga's career.

Overall, Madonna is riskier than Lady Gaga.

Madonna and by far, none of the current pop girls is even close to Madonna in that area.
