I don't think GaGa is trying... and if she is, then she's a damn good actress.
She IS majorly influenced and always compares herself to M in her interviews.
Quote:
Lady Gaga was on TRL, MTV. Kinda funny that she described Madonna with the same words that she would use to describe herself - “Who really can mess with Madonna? Nobody … and her stage and her videos are always amazing and the visuals, its about more than just the music, its about the fashion, its about the whole package.” A cool tribute coming on M’s bday. :-)
Quote:
"We're both Italian-American women, we both started out in the New York underground scene - and we both became famous when we dyed our hair blonde," she observes. But the similarities run deeper than that according to the popstrel's assistant.
"I think what Madonna and I share is that we are both fearless," GaGa confesses. "We both have a lot of nerve."
Quote:
"I'm always going to be in music, but I do hope to direct some day," she says. Her ideal video? "Madonna's 'Justify My Love,'" she says. "It's a really ****ing good video. She just looks timeless. I love blondes in leather."
