GAGA: Escaping Madonna's Grasp
With the release of the cover artwork to her first single,
"Applause," Gaga is, once again, being compared to Madonna.



Will the Madonna comparisons ever cease? Or is Lady Gaga simply too deep in the game,
at this point? Will Lady Gaga's own identity and expression ever be seen from outside
of Madonna's shadow? Will the media compare Gaga and Madonna for the rest
of Gags' career? Does she deserve this? Did Gaga bring it on herself?

Do you feel sorry for Lady Gaga? Let us know.

One could argue that the Marilyn Monroe comparisons were never the absolute
CENTER of Madonna's career in the same way that the Madonna
comparisons are the absolute CENTER of Gaga's career.

Probably not. But it's an honor to be compared to such an icon, especially when said icon give you their blessings.

When did Madonna give Lady Gaga her blessing?
We're not referring to that alleged, elusive e-mail, are we?

No. Because Madonna fans are obsessed with Lady Gaga. They dig into ancient Madonna images just to find something similar what Gaga is doing today.

Originally posted by BadMonster Still, Gaga is brought up in every interview that Madonna does and Madonna is hardly, IF ever, discussed in Gaga interviews, because they have enough other stuff to talk about, so hasn't Gaga become the new center and base of Madonna's career even more so than the other way around?

Now we both know that's a bit inaccurate.

Originally posted by BTrisc I'm sure that somebody could look at her that way, if they had tunnel vision. The Madonna comparisons were massaged by Madonna herself.
